My Childhood Female Icons

I was having a little daydream the other day .... I live in a dreamworld probably 68% of the time..... and for some reason my thoughts traveled back to the 90's and early 00's when I was growing up (aka loving life without a care in the world) and I was thinking about all the girls/women/characters I looked up to and wanted to be admired.

With this in mind I thought why not do a little post about it - share with you lovely lot who, when I was younger, I thought was the bee's knee's and would have done anything to grow up and be like them! (and too be fair... my feelings haven't changed!)

1. Cher Horowitz 

A total 90s icon - I was obsessed with Clueless and Cher from a young age! I will always remember seeing that computerized wardrobe for the first time and being green with envy - so so cool! I loved her self-assured attitude, total confidence and super sassy preppy style. I definitely bought a few fluffy pens because of her as a kid! 

2. The Spice Girls 

That's right, all of them. 90's girls I know you are all with me on this one, The Spice Girls were god.

I was one of those little girl's you didn't have a firm favourite throughout the years but slowly went through them all at some point claiming the were my favourite.

 I had the ginger phase... the baby phase.. the sporty phase - well you see where I'm going with this! There was a part of all of them I loved and I wanted to be a Spice Girl more than anything - truly imprinted Girl Power into my mind forever!

3. Belle

I clearly couldn't do a post about all those girls I looked upto as a kid without mentioning a Disney princess! Belle has always been my favourite Disney character and growing up I was totally in awe of her. Being a fellow bookworm (I read so so much as a kid) she showed me it was okay to love reading and to give everyone a chance. Kind, caring and pretty much perfect - she is still my favourite Princess.

4. Buffy 

Of course I've saved the best for last. My ultimate female icon as a kid (and still now) was none other than Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
You all probably know already (if you know me, read this blog or follow me on twitter) that Buffy is my favourite TV show of all time. Growing up I would be so so excited every weekday when it was on BBC2 after The Simpsons and I just wanted to BE her.
Gorgeous, funny, sporty and umm hello a vampire slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar made me want to get fit and kick ass! I don't know how anyone would not want to be Buffy!

I would love to know who your female icons were when you were a kid - comment below or join in and do your own blog post!!

OOTD : Get The Look - 'Totally Clueless'

Cher Horowitz has been an icon of mine ever since I first watched Clueless as a child. I was equally obsessed with the TV show as the movie and Cher was always my favourite character.

Who wouldn't want that computer wardrobe thingy?!

I LOVE the 90s preppy look and today when I was getting dressed I thought I would try and  channel my inner Cher and recreate her look!

(If you haven't seen Clueless then 1. I am disappointed in you and 2. you are totally missing out.)

"I feel like such a heifer. I had two bowls of Special K, 3 pieces of turkey bacon, a handful of popcorn, 5 peanut butter M&M's and like 3 pieces of licorice"

Red Alice Band - Primark

Yellow Cardigan - New Look

White Blouse - New Look

Checked Skirt - New Look

Red Pumps - Primark

Firstly I just want to say I have no idea why this is so blurry - not a happy bunny :( sorry for the bad quality!

90% of this outfit is from New Look but that was just a coincidence!

I love the matching skirts/blazer combos that Cher always wears and the bright colours, especially all the yellow!

Unfortunately I don't own a matching blazer and skirt - which needs to change asap but I mixed a few of her styles from the movie into one! 

The 3 key pieces I've stolen from her looks in the movie are the thick alice band, the yellow cardigan and the check print skirt! (and it obviously helps that I'm blonde!)

The blouse I am wearing underneath the cardigan is just a sheer white button up with front pockets and I got it brand new with tags from eBay for £4.99 - bargain!

Alot of this stuff I have actually owned for a while so it is unlikely that you will still be able to find it in the stores - but I am sure there is a wide range of look-a-like items both in high-street stores and online (eBay is always a winner)!

I love this look, some of you may hate it and think I look ridiculous - everyone has their own taste!

Quick post for you all today - let me know if you like it and if you do give me some other looks to recreate!
