Back to the grind – but at least 4th of July is this week! Whoot Whoot
For this week’s playlist I went with an all slow song mix from the 90s! Some soothing sounds to start your work week off 🙂
Half of these songs I feel like I always hear at the dentist…like 90s soft music is ALWAYS playing. But I don’t mind at all~!
The blog post title is really what I would think in my head every time a slow song came on at a school dance growing up… like OMG! Panic! Good times, though 😉
Today I wanted to talk about the 1990s. The 90s were such a fun time! I used to walk and ride my bike everywhere with my big sister. First we’d walk to McDonalds and eat our #2 value meals (probably super sized.) Then we’d head on over to Strawberries to listen to some tunes. Then mosey on over to CVS to look over the cosmetics section and perhaps get some new Bonne Bell lip gloss (I think we all know the vanilla frosting one was THE BEST.)
They should really bring this back.
Then as I entered my teenage years I loooooved turning on the ol’ family Gateway computer, signing onto AOL and anxiously await to hear if my favorite voice would say “You’ve got mail.” (Those Blue Mountain greeting cards were my fav!) Then I’d play some Slingo, decide whether or not to IM my crush, and move along with my day. It was great!
Definitely spent waaaaay too much time playing this!
I’ve really been loving the 90s resurgence in fashion and pop culture lately. I really love it since it’s a way to relive those memories and still feel connected to all of those great times!
So today for my Friday Finds I’m sharing a bunch of recent 90s inspired fashion & fun items that I’m loving!
A little on the pricey side, but these fun, retro-looking sneakers are awesome! They come in a bunch of different colors, but the pair in the collage and the one below are definitely the most 90s looking!
All That was seriously one of the best shows from the 90s! In addition to All That, Nickelodeon was really killing it with the SNICK line up on Saturday nights. Clarissa, Round House, Ren & Stimpy, & Are You Afraid of the Dark? made my Saturday nights the best! I still have a SNICK keychain that I mailed away for after collecting several proof of purchases from Corn Flakes cereal boxes!
These sandals were EVERYWHERE and I think every girl owned a pair. Steve Madden brought them back only about a month ago and they are so popular that they are only still available in a couple of sizes! Snag them if you can!! Also available at Urban Outfitters.
I think I really need this game. If for nothing else, to quiz myself on 90s trivia because I love it that much! It would also make for a fun gift. The little write up on the back sounds so promising!
The first thing I think of when it comes to 90s fashion is simple floral dresses like this. I’m literally right back to the mall going to Barbara Moss with my sister watching her try on similar dresses with little flowers all over them!
This jacket is the coolest and you would for sure look so cool wearing it. I wish it did not come with a $230 price tag, though. The North Face jackets do usually eventually go on sale so I will be stalking this one for sure! I also love this fleece!
The whole ’92 Rage collection is here – they have a lot of good stuff for guys, too!
I think I must follow all kinds of old school accounts on Instagram since I only know about this because it came up as an Instagram ad on my feed. Which makes me really happy that Instagram totally gets me and knows that I would really want to hear that Igloo has come out with a 90s line of retro looking coolers!! Job well done, Instagram!! I know everyone else complains about the algorithm, but they really pegged me right on this one!
