Inspired By: Beverly Hills 90210

Now don't get me wrong... I do actually love the new generation of 90210 that premiered on the CW just a few years ago. My sister and I call eachother after every episode to gossip about what happened between Annie and Liam, Naomi and her nerd, etc etc. But nothing can really ever top the original Beverly Hills 90210. It honestly brings me back to my childhood,  sneaking into the tv room to watch it over my sister and her friends shoulders. I was only six years old when it first aired, but I guess I can say I have practically seen EVERY episode to this day. Beverly Hills 90210 not only had an amazing cast and a gorgeous landscape, but very memorable outfits! I mean, how can you NOT remember Brenda and Kelly's matching black and white off the shoulder prom dress? Or Donna Martin's tight little body hugging floral minis? Well I found a bunch of items on some of my favorite shopping sites that are SURE to bring you right back to the nineties. Hope you all enjoy! Happy weekend! XO, Liza

 The original gang!
 This photo is epic. It really cracks me up.

 MinkPink Daisy Chain Crop Blouse, $80. Cropped AND a daisy print? Beyond 1992! Love it so much. This is such a great top to just hang around in the summertime.

 Crochet Scalloped Crop Top, $79. If you can't picture Donna Martin with barrettes in her short red bob and this top... well then I don't know... Hahaha! This is SO her though. She'd definitely rock it running her little boutique.

 J Brand Power Stretch Legging Jeans, $192. This wash of denim is pretty much identical to the shade of jeans the gals of West Beverly would be sporting. Obviously I couldn't show you guys a pair of baggy tapered ones ´a la Brenda Walsh... ya get the picture. ;)
 Rebecca Minkoff Becky Jacket, $325. If Jackie Taylor was living in 2011 today (Ugh, remember when they killed her off in the new one? Bad idea)... she would for sure be wearing this blazer. I am LOVING this for the fall! Definitely a piece I would throw on over anything!
 The back is amazing!
 Tavik "The Dos Lunas" Swimsuit, $89.95 on sale (Originally $135). This swimsuit by one of my fave bikini lines, Tavik, is SO Beach Club, right? Kelly or Donna would totally be running around in this while playing volleyball.
 The detailing is fabulous!

 Double Knot Black Dress, $68. This would be the updated version of what Brenda, Kelly, or Donna would wear while backing up Emily Valentine to "Breaking Up is Hard to Do". Hahahaha! I am re-living so many 90210 memories as I write this post... 

 Curent Elliott Mechanic Denim Jacket, $298. Last but not least, I had to throw a denim jacket in the mix! The girls at West Bev were rarely seen without a denim coat draped over their shoulders. Duh! ;)

Liza's July Playlist

Music is another major interest of mine besides fashion, so I felt I'd give you guys a little playlist I conjured up for the month... Hey, I might make this a monthly thing! What do you guys think? Here are some songs that have been on heavy rotation on my iPod at the moment. Whether I am cruising around, laying by the pool, or blogging, I am never without some tunes! XO, Liza

Love Foster the People. Their music is fun and upbeat. Can't go wrong.
So who doesn't just LOVE Adele? Her music is beyond catchy and her voice is so beautiful. This is one of my faves from her recent album. 
I've never cared much for Nicki Minaj, but I do like this song for some reason!
My boyfriend and I's favorite summer song! What a great tune... instant hit!
Fitz & the Tantrum's album is on constant repeat for me. I love their old school sound.
TV on the Radio is a fabulous group. All the music they put out is amazing. I've kind of killed this song, but I still love it.
This song is so cute. Love love love.
I was a major fan of "The Voice" this summer, so I had to include Javier on this list. I am so glad he won because he is the BEST. Such a gorgeous voice. I never liked this Sarah Mclachlan song until he covered it.
I've probably played this song a bazillion times this past winter... still not really sick of it though!
Wow. I just listened to this for the first time the other day and I adore it.

Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen StyleMint

I'm a big fan of Kate Bosworth and stylist Cher Coulter's JewelMint line. I love that not only are the designs super cute, but extremely affordable! Now we have the brand new StyleMint by our favorite fashionistas, Mary-Kate and Ashley. These girls just do not stop! First The Row, then Elizabeth and James, now this? I love it and I LOVE the Olsens. Below is a little behind the scenes look at their photoshoot for StyleMint with famous photog, Terry Richardson. Adore their energy and edge in this video. Can never get enough of them... XO, Liza

Servane Gaxotte

My parents are in Europe and arrived in Paris the other day. Beyond jealous! I told them to be sure to make a stop at Ladurée for their world famous macarons (duh) AND at at the Servane Gaxotte boutique. The Parisian designer is most famous for her "la vie en Rose" doll that hangs from necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. I first spotted her designs at satine in Los Angeles in January and could not stop thinking about the amazing necklaces. Each doll is dressed in a different outfit and let me tell you... they are beyond stunning in person. Pictures do not do them justice. Well my parents got me a little treat in Paris this morning that isn't just a French pastry... I cannot wait! XO, Liza


 I want them all!!! Ahh!

 Aren't these just so unique? Obsessed!

WANT, NEED, MUST HAVE: Kenny Penny Pockets Dress

There's nothing more that I love than dresses with fabulous backs. Cute and all in the front, but when you turn around... boom! Amazingness. These Kenny dresses on shopbop do just that. To me, they are the perfect little summer frocks that easily transition from day to night. I'd wear the daylights out of these. Happy July 1st everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful long weekend! XO, Liza

 Penny Pockets Checkered Dress- Too cute, right?
 TA DA! I love the little buttons...
 Penny Pockets Printed Dress- Same exact dress, but with a floral print!
