today i have a very special modern take on melrose place. i am obsessed with this show, all thanks to kelly-anne, thanks girl!. it is now streaming on netflix and tom & i are tangled in this horrible web it has woven for us. i hate all the characters, alison being the WORST, out of all of them but i just can't quit you melrose place! if you are not familiar with melrose place it is a show that took place during the 90's about a group of friends who all live in los angeles and live in the same amazing apartment complex.
it is filled with backstabbing, lies, sex and horrible horrible 90's fashion. the worst offender, to my eyes, is the oversized blazer.....are they hiding something in there? what is the purpose? i am not quite sure. when the show originally aired i was a bit too young, i remember watching it but never really understood what was going on, but now that i am older i totally get why this show is so amazing...thus my obsession that has lead to my own rendition of a modern take on a melrose place outfit.
this is the blazer i got while thrifting in santa cruz. the dress is from modcloth, where i wish i could have all the money in the world so i could buy every single dress and pair of shoes.
blazer: thrifted
dress: modcloth
tights: f21
shoes: thrifted
today is the last day to enter my giveaway! the winner will be announced soon after!

Ok first you look AMAZING like killer! But when dont you really?!
ReplyDeleteSecond what is that dress called on modcloth?!
thanks sweetie! i wish they still had this dress but i bought it 2 years ago! you would look great in it!
DeleteGreat job on the outfit! The polka dot tights look really good on you :)
ReplyDeletethanks sweetie! i love this tights sooo much but they tear so easily so i only wear them once in a great while.
DeleteI remember Melrose Place as the next "big thing" after Bev Hills 90210 - but I was way too young to understand what was going on, but it made me think apartments were pretty much the coolest thing EVER!! Seinfield also made me think they were amazing, I imaged my friends & I could all live in the same apartment block and it would be AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteI really love you floral dress and cute shoes:)
oh yea it was a huge thing after 90210. i still to this day want to live with all my friends next door to me, that would be the best thing EVER! uh and seinfield, love that show so so much! it really is the best show ever!
DeleteI absolutely love your outfit! Those shoes are a great colour.
ReplyDeletethanks sweetie!
DeleteIts the perfect outfit! You look so good in it. The shoes with the dress are awesome!
ReplyDeletethese are one of my favorite shoes.
Deleteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! those shoes!!! So vibrant and beautiful!!! Love them and I spy your polka dot tights! loving the details of this outfit with splashes of color. So fun :)
ReplyDeleteWere these taken by your husband or solo shoot? If solo shoot, wow! great shots! If by your husband, well, then he gets the credit for the awesome shots heehee.
xoxo.

Deletewatch out - 90s is coming back!
ReplyDeletei know the 90's are totally coming back, next up, flannel jump! haha
DeleteYou look gorgeous! Love the color of your flats!! xxx
ReplyDeletei ued to watch Melrose Place sometimes, but i was more into 90210 :) I had a blazer :)
ReplyDeletei need to re-watch 90210, that would be great!
DeleteYour Melrose outfit is a thousand times better than anything that was ever actually worn on that show! I am especially loving your bright shoes. Great touch. On an unrelated note, I cant wait to get book 5 in the mail. I have been Jon Snow-less for way too long.
ReplyDeleteStop by & enter my Vedette giveaway!
thanks amber but really any outfit would be better then what was on that show, man the clothes are so scary. alison is the worst offender, she has the worst style EVER oh wait so does jane...she dresses like an old lady and she is totaly so hot, i just don't get it!
Deletei can't wait for you to get book 5 too! yaya more jon snow!!!!!!!!
been there and done that lady. i better win this time! har!
I remember Melrose Place too, but was also a little too young. I love your outfit. Loving those combination of colours. nice:)
ReplyDeleteseams like a lot of us were too young for melrose place, totally worth watching :D
Deleteyou look BEAUTIFUL and i love your modern twist on melrose place style! also, i don't get those gigantic blazers they wore, and my guess is maybe thay planned to be prepared for shoplifting when they went out.
ReplyDeletehaha yea maybe they were gonna shoplift or they are selling watches and wallets out of their blazer! hehe
DeleteI was obsessed with 90210 when I was like... 10 years old, haha. But somehow I missed watching Melrose Place! My sister-in-law has all the DVDs so I'll have to borrow them to watch one day.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit! Those shoes are such a great colour!
i think a 90210 marathon is in order! kelly is in the first couple of episode on melrose because she is dating jake. so good!
Deletei feel really old because i watched melrose place when it was on originally on tv... :S also, the heights. OLD.
ReplyDeleteyou crazy! your not old, you still a spring chick! i don't remember the heights, if it is on netflix i will watch for sure!
DeleteI love your outfit - especially the shoes (so shiny and bright and pretty)! I love ModCloth - anytime I need a dress, that's the first place I go! I've never watched "Melrose Place," but I love getting into a TV series like that on Netflix and being able to watch from start to finish! I'm starting season 3 of "Supernatural" now - love it!
ReplyDeletei check modcloth pretty much everyday...i love stalking them..and wishing i had loads of money! awww to be rich :)
DeleteHa ha ha that's so random that you've gotten into watching that old show! :D And it's hilarious that you're watching a show in which you hate all the characters ha ha you're so funny!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit though, definitely cuter than those in Melrose Place! I remember it from when I was little, I probably didn't really understand it either, but I also hated Allison already back then!
xo Lisa
well we agree that allison is the worst, yay!
DeleteI die for anything polka dot! Those tights are to die for!
ReplyDeleteMelrose Place, huh?... I feel that way about Sons of Anarchy.. can't get enough.
you gotta try it, it might take a couple of episodes but you will be totally sucked in, trust me!
Deletei would never think that tom would be one for Melrose Place but hey he is man of surprises. that dress was made for you dear.
ReplyDeletetom is so into it! it is actually funny! we both find ourselves yelling at the computer whenever something stupid happens!
DeleteI love that blazer with that dress! Such a fun combo.

hee hee, oh those good ol days :D I was 17 when Melrose first came on & I too loved to hate (& to oogle Jake); I think I only watched the first series or two, had been a big Bev Hills 90210 fan (as that started when I was 15), and YES, I must admit I had the oversize jackets! Will have to try to find you some photos, ha ha. Love your modern take on it, very cute! xox
ReplyDeletehahaha I've never watched that show. That dress is AMAZING. I love the print so much.
ReplyDeleteSo preeetty! Love the dress and the shoes xox
