Recreating the Look | Sarah from 'Labyrinth'

Ever since I first saw a rerun of Labyrinth (1986) on TV when I was still in primary school, I had always really liked the look of Sarah's outfit. For those of you who haven't seen this cult classic, a young Jennifer Connelly plays teenager Sarah who goes on a journey through a magical labyrinth to rescue her baby brother after he's captured by the sassy and stylish Goblin King a.k.a. David Bowie. I won't spoil it though because it's worth a watch! (Or at least go and look up "Magic Dance" in YouTube). Anyway, Sarah's main outfit features essential mid 80s ~ early 90s pieces, such as her oversized vest and billowy blouse (those sleeves are amazing). Considering today's trends are a mishmash of 60s, 70s and 90s revival, why the heck not bring back a bit of 80s vibes. If you're not keen on the waistcoat, you could easily ditch it or go for a more minimal oversized vest. All items below:

• Oversized blouse
• Waistcoat
• High waisted blue jeans
• Brown loafers
• Topaz brooch
• Amber bracelet

Recreating the Look | Nicole from 'Fear'

The movie Fear from 1996 is one of those films that I feel is under-appreciated in terms of 90s fashion. The main character, Nicole, is a teenager who falls victim to a super shady guy (I'm not going to spoil it, it's worth watching if you haven't) while also having many awesome and inspiring 90s fashion moments throughout the film (I was obsessed with finding low block heel Mary Jane shoes for at least a year after seeing it for the first time). In fact you can watch pretty much any of Reese Witherspoon's appearances in film during the 90s ~ early 2000s and get a ton of style inspiration. What I like about Nicole's outfits is that they incorporate so many quintessential 90s trends, just like her first look as above, which you will recognise from my second 90s look book video. They're also perfect as a guide for recreating an authentic 90s girly look. All items below:

• Black floral dress
• Dark grey floral dress
• Suede jacket / (Alternative)
• Mini backpack
• Ruffle socks
• Mary Jane shoes

Recreating the Look | Mathilda Lando

If any of you guys followed me on Polyvore a couple of years ago (back when I was still an active user) you might remember that I always posted outfit sets inspired by fictional characters. As I say time and time again, a lot of my style inspiration comes from characters from film and TV. So with this in mind, I thought I would bring back these outfit sets here on my blog as a more regular thing!

So today's look is inspired by Mathilda Lando from Leon The Professional. And yes, I know you're thinking that this is very "tumblr" and that Mathilda as a 90s style icon has pretty much been milked dry on the internet over the past couple of years, but she still has a fun look to recreate with modern fashion pieces so of course I had to put together a set for her (plus she was one of the original looks I created back in the day on Polyvore). While Mathilda is a character that I've seen pop up in the form of Halloween costumes recently, her style is also very wearable in an everyday context. She definitely nails the aesthetic of the tough-but-fragile girl. All items below:

• Black Cutoff Shorts
• Stripe Crop T-Shirt  (+ alternative option)
• Sun Choker (+ alternative option)
• Biker Boots (+ alternative option)
• Bomber Jacket
• Sunglasses
