The weather is getting warmer and warmer, sometimes even hot during the day when the sun is shining bright, so here's an almost-but-feels-like-summer mix:

Saturday Playlist: Wanderlust

This is my first post on Beamsy! I made a playlist that evokes wanderlust (shocker! Not. You'll gradually discover that this is pretty much all I talk about as I am a teeeeensy bit obsessed with travelling) and is perfect for road trips, plane rides, or when you just have that feeling of oh-my-god-i-want-to-travel-the-world-so-bad-and-be-adventurous-and-meet-people-I-love-life. Anyways, enjoy!

Fashion on TV: My So-Called Life

I've just finished watching My-So Called life last week! I'm pretty late since the show ended about twenty years ago but I wasn't even born then. Although it was only 19 episodes long, I loved everything about it, I can even compare my own life to Angela's (played by Claire Danes). I believe the fashion and the whole cast itself deserve many awards.
Since My So-Called life aired from 1994 to 1995, the clothes worn on the series reflected the 90s grunge fashion trends including floral patterns, flannel shirts, denim, Dr. Martens, knit sweaters, worn-in jeans, and funky accessories. 

Below, I’ll talk about some of the main characters’ styles; including Angela, Jordan, Ricky and Rayanne.

1. Angela Chase (Claire Danes)

Throughout the show, Angela is trying to figure out who she is and while she does, she experiments with her sense of style. She often mixes floral dresses with grungier clothing probably inspired by her friend Ryanne.

I love the mix she creates with both girly and grunge clothing.

To steal her style this is pretty much what I'd wear: 

The quality is pretty bad because i had to take these pics myself and with my ipod since I don't have anyone to take photos of me right now, but I'll probably upload better pics later! 

In these photos I'm wearing dark purple vegan Dr Martens, a floral dress from Topshop and a cardigan from  Urban Outfitters. (black tights would also look good with this)

2. Jordan Catalano (Jared Leto)

Oh my god, Jordan Catalano. He's litteraly prefect and probably one of the main reasons I started watching this show. He's played by the amazing Jared Leto and is Angela's love interrest throughout the series (Ship, ship, ship). Jordan is also a talented musician and dresses like a bad boy despite the fact that he can't read. His style is grungy and he is most of the time seen wearing a flannel, combat boots and a sherpa jaket that suits him very well. He also usually wears the same black necklace. 

3. Rickie Vasquez (Wilson Cruz)

Rickie was one of TV's first gay teenage boy and goes through a lot: he's bullied at school and tortured by his parents but that doesn't stop him from being one of the most stylish people of the show.

He always mixes extremely bright colors to create a very original outfit. He also has a thing for eyeliner. He's often seen wearing floral and geometric patterns and military inspired jackets.

4. Rayanne Graff (A.J. Langer)

Rayanne is Angela's wild & rebellious new bestfriend. 

Rayanne's style is my favorite because of how strange yet very fun and pretty it looks. She mixes colors, patterns and textures and wears a LOT of layers. She mostly wears oversized flannel shirts or cardigans on top of a polka dot or floral dresses and never forgets to style her hair with braids and colorful barrettes.

I don't own similar clothes to Rayanne because I think that if I'd try to steal her look I'd look like a garbage lady but I still think her style is awesome !

This post is pretty long but I really wanted to share most of the character's styles since they all have a different style! Although I focused on the fashion in My So-Called Life, it doesn't mean it's the only thing I loved about the show but it is what got me to watch it.

Have a good day!
