Rachel Green, Fran Fine, Grace Adler – all these women helped mold my personal style into what it is today. So why is it when I’m fresh out of outfit ideas, I always circle back to the 90s sitcom gals? Sure, feel-good nostalgia is a given, but these women – no matter what sort of pickle life had them in – always looked fabulous.
I personally find that living life as if it were a sitcom is the key to happiness. So dress like you’re the main character… because you are.

If you have yet to stream HBO Max’s Minx, you are seriously missing out. The ’70s-based show set in Los Angeles centers around feminist journalist Joyce, who is forced to compromise her vision and values and partner up with porn publisher Doug, in order to watch her magazine come to life.
If you ask me, the ’70s is hands down the most fun decade in American history and luckily (for me) the fashion from it is back – again!
Reminder: Fashion is cyclical, which is why it’s so thrilling to thrift!
Minx costume designer Beth Morgan is a pro when it comes to sourcing authentic pieces for period comedies, which makes watching Minx even more enjoyable. The plot is obviously there, but when the character’s wardrobes really come to life – that’s what makes the story feel so inspiring. I also love to pull inspo from the shows I am currently binging (cough, cough: Buffy!) and Minx has tons.
There are enough pussybow blouses and sleazy button-downs in these character’s closets to last a lifetime.
SHOP!
]]>Let me first start by saying that I cannot wait for this show to premiere in May!
We all remember my obsession with Sally Rooney’s Normal People – and Connell’s chain – but the Irish novelist’s latest, Conversations with Friends (Rooney’s debut novel) is the next masterpiece slated to hit Hulu in a 12-episode series.
I already had full trust that this would deliver.. the Lenny Abrahamson-led team (specifically screenwriter Alice Birch) who smashed it with their adaptation of Normal People is heading the project, but I’m so fully in after seeing the trailer.
I never really got the Joe Alwyn-obsession, until I watched this..
