How To Style an Outfit Like a 90s Kid

The trends of the 90s quite recently have been making a comeback. Although, I am only fifteen and never have actually been a 90s kid, from movies to TV shows to pictures to what all the fashionistas are wearing now, I curated an outfit inspired by these styles. 

My base was a grey waffle long sleeve shirt to add more texture. On top of a pop of color, I added an oversized short sleeve mustard tee from Topman. To complete the look, baggy grey jeans demonstrated a more casual vibe. My new checkered vans made the outfit pop as well. These circular blue and purple sunnies from Westward Leaning gave the outfit a more modern twist.

Overall, my outfit had undertones of different shades of grey, with additional pops of colors and patterns to exemplify the fun trends of the 90s. The things that weren't so great from the 90s were the shark tooth necklaces and rainbow jelly bracelets, and I am glad I left that out from my look.

Microneedling Is the Skincare Gadget That Will Change Your Skin

Microneedling is the key to smoother, tighter, and more youthful skin. Recently, it has become a staple in my skincare routine. Basically, the purpose of microneedling is to produce more collagen in your skin. Microneedling is typically done at clinics or with your dermatologist but now there are at home microneedling kits! I am always in love with trying new innovative skincare techniques to spice up my daily routine. Since I have heard so many great things about the GloPro (shop it here), when I got it sent to me, I couldn't wait to try! 

When I put the derma rolling kit from GloPro on my Instagram Stories, I got many questions as to what it actually was and did. When you roll the derma roller on your face, it actually ruptures and destroys the surface layer of your skin in attempt to speed up your collagen production. Most people are scared or intimidated by the idea of putting needles on your face, but I was up for the challenge. You might be saying "Ow! That must hurt!", but on the roller, there are tiny needles pinching your skin so you barley feel it.

It has this unique feeling that you know it is working but is not painful. After your skin is used to it, it feels relaxing. I love microneedling when watching my favorite TV shows (you can read that blog post here). At first, I thought that there would be instant results but you only see a difference after a couple weeks. The instructions suggest that you use the GloPro anywhere from 2-3 days a week. Also, using it during the nighttime is most effective since collagen production is higher. It definitely helps my skin seem tighter, less bloated, reduce fine lines, and even out my complexion. 

Before jumping into using your derma roller there are a few essential steps you need to follow. 

1. Wash your face

Many people tend to skip washing their face before skin treatments, but it is so important to get rid of that excess dirt and oils on your skin. The roller needs to be effective without anything blocking the target points of your skin. Plus, you don't want to puncture any type of "muck" further into your skin.

2. Use a Serum

My kit provided a serum, but any other serum will do! When choosing a serum, make sure it has no alcohol or acids in it. Apply the serum right after you finish rolling so it sinks into your skin. 

3. Clean the Roller

You want to sanitize your roller before using it again, you never want any filth penetrating back into your skin once you use it again. My kit came with an alcohol spray bottle, but you can use just about anything to clean your roller that is safe, such as rubbing alcohol. Cleaning is so so so important, don't get lazy!

Overall, my experience with the GloPro has been amazing! I do suggest you purchase a kit for yourself. But before doing so, know what works for your skin type. If your skin is very sensitive or irritated, I think puncturing fragile areas of your skin will only provoke further irritation. As I said, see if this product is right for you! I can only provide my experiences and expertise, but you should also educate yourself more with other reliable sources such as a dermatologist or magazine article.

Structured and Loose Layering

When layering, I love to mix and match styles whether it be within that specific article of clothing or all different types of clothing. With my camel colored shirt that I used as a jacket, it was oversized which gave it a loose look, yet had a defined lapel and bold buttons that gave it a structured look. My dress pants are very formal but relaxed because the leg is not tapered. This also applies to colors. I mixed camel, grey, and navy for a neutral vibe that is put together but also has an effortless chic style. 

To top off the look, I added these flat top Yves Saint Laurent sunnies, which go with the whole look. The color is a simple black that is not striking, but hard edges that give it that strong look. In addition, my white sneakers are a boxy shape with simple straps that are very casual and geometric. Overall, my look included defined shapes and structures that are oversized and baggy to create that off duty effortless look.

The Best TV Shows and Everything You Need To Know About Them

I have always loved binge watching TV shows on Netflix and any other streaming site. Whenever I end a TV show, I always find that I am lost as to what show to start next. I have been pretty good on finding that perfect show, back to back. So I will be sharing with you the best TV shows and everything you need to know about them. I will provide the name, the summary, how many seasons, where you can find them, and all you need to do is watch!

SCANDAL

Currently, this is my favorite show! I am obsessed. Recently when I was off a week from school, I finished five seasons in four days. I am pretty dedicated when it comes to my Netflix binging and any of my friends can testify to that.

PLOT: Olivia Pope basically runs Washington, D.C. She is the definition of girl boss. She is a fixer, and will help cover up any illegal case a client presents her with. Pope has a team of fixers working with her, with their own quirky (and even scary) personalities. Pope was the President's campaign manager, and let's just say it was love at first site. The President (Fitz) is having an affair with Olivia Pope, and lets also keep in mind he is married, has a family, and happens to be THE PRESIDENT. The show also contains many scandals amongst this one. Everything and everybody in the White House is exposed, and everybody is quite power hungry. And as I said, Olivia runs D.C. with her connections, her powerful attitude, and the President on a leash. Just when you think you have all of the characters and plot figured out, there is a new twist. This show will keep you up all night, literally (I have stayed up until 6:00am numerous times watching). 

SEASONS: Season 6 is currently on ABC right now, and the show just got renewed for its seventh season.

WHERE TO WATCH: ABC, Netflix, Hulu

GOSSIP GIRL

Gossip girl is my all time favorite. I have watched this show over and over again. Six times. When it comes to Gossip Girl I go to the extreme. I even told this to Blake Lively who starred in the hit TV series, you can watch that in my New York Fashion Week Vlog here.

PLOT: Gossip Girl takes place on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. An anonymous blogger who calls herself Gossip Girl, dishes out all the juicy scandals of the Upper East Side elite. Spoiled and attractive teenagers do petty things to each other and Gossip Girl is the first to know. The basis of the show is about Serena Van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, frenemies who claim to be best friends. Serena is the hot blonde that every guy falls for. Serena can do whatever she wants and her trust fund and the paparazzi will follow. Blair Waldorf is the queen bee of the school and of Manhattan. She is the fashion trendsetter, has the perfect grades, and is as cute as a button. Don't be fooled by her innocent face because she is the pettiest of them all. She can and will end your future with a text message and a group of mean girls who call themselves her minions. We see inside the extravagant lifestyle of the duo and everyone that is associated with them. Their friendships, love stories, and issues. We see the characters grow from high schoolers to adults with lives of their own. This show can be perceived as just high school rich kid pettiness, but underneath it exemplifies the struggles and insecurities of an every day teenager.

SEASONS: There are 6 seasons, and the show ended in 2012.

WHERE TO WATCH: Netflix
