Stumbling around the internet I came across this photo which is pretty much my friday night outfit for my teenage years. People are wearing this again - funny how quickly things come around. I also caught "10 Things I Hate About You" on TV last night. This seemed to pass me by at the time of its release which was 1999, I don't think I've ever seen it before but I couldn't help but chuckle at some of the nineties blasts from the past. Here's some things I noticed - enjoy the trip down memory lane.....
The Real World
Remember when this first hit the screens in the nineties, it was the first fly-on-the wall documentary style show that spawned so many others. Totally shaped TV to be as we know it today. I particularly used to love the retro graphics on the intro's - see a collection here.
Grunge Hair
In the 1990's everyone had more hair - fact. Boys and girls had long long locks, whether prefectly styled or a grungey mess, it was less coloured (you might get a bleache blonde or a henna red), more natural (well unless you count the perms) and lots of it.

Blossom / Dawsons Creek / Buffy / Roseanne / My So Called Life
Teenage angst was never so represented as in the nineties. Tons of American sit-coms filled our screens. Whether we were fighting vampires, hanging out at the local club or struggling in class, we had an endless supply of style hero's and heroines to copy. Check shirt and nineties minimalism anyone?
