It's Gotta Be the Shoes

I'd travel back in time to have a pair of those fuschia Benetton booties.

And while I am in 1990, I'll snag some of these Chuckas too.  By Sporto.

Killer colorful kicks from Reebok

Barely 5'2" With Eyes of Blue...

"Big time styles for a small screen gem...Kellie Martin of TV's

'Life Goes On'"

I adored Kellie Martin.  So cute and I always identified with someone who was twee like me.

Everything's Groovy

"Olivia D'abo, The Wonder Years' flower child, gets radically chic in some of the season's coolest looks, like Twiggy-inspired make-up, B-52's 'do's, and sock-it-to-me threads.  The message: Fashion and beauty have gone totally mod."

"Make the scene in an ultramod mini and a hoop belt: graphics geared up to go-go"

"Stretching it to the limit with a swinging trapeze dress, cut in cool velvet and dripping with diamonds...it's like, far-out".

This brilliant editorial was such an inspiration to me that it totally kick-started my obsession with 60's swinging mod fashion and pop culture (I always coveted this style a lot more than that of Olivia's "Wonder Years" hippie alter-ego).  I even ran out and bought a white turtleneck to compliment the little black miniskirt already hanging in my closet and practically lived in my zip-ankle black suede Chinese Laundry booties.   Still, my attempts at applying false eyelashes were still a decade into the future.

Cover Story~ September 1990

CAMERON DIAZ

"When we last left model Cameron Diaz, she was striking a pose on our July cover~all decked out in stars and stripes (highly patriotic). Since then, the response has been terrific. 'My mom's friends even asked me to autograph the picture,' said Cameron. 'It was sooo embarrassing!' Our editors loved this California girl's all-Amerian looks so much, they decided to put her on the cover again~ and in the fashion feature, 'Twin Peak Chic'. How did Cameron like venturing out into the wilderness to shoot the story? 'I loved it. The only tough part was getting up at 5:00 A.M. Luckily, I'm a morning person'."
