'Oh Make Me Over' The Style of: Alicia Silverstone in the Aerosmith Videos

Aerosmith - Cryin' 

 Aerosmith - Crazy

Everytime I wear plaid or fadded, ripped jeans, I'm secretly trying to channel Alicia Silverstone in those Aerosmith videos because OMIGOD DID YOU SEE HOW COOL SHE IS AND THAT BELLY RING AND WOW IS THAT SAWYER FROM LOST?? I think this look is the perfect mix of the sweet, girl-next-door babysitter and the too-cool teenage bully from your childhood. One of the great things about this look is how low maintenance it seems; a quick sweep of mascara, a little lip stain, a pair of battered Dr Martens and you're ready to dazzle some small-town gas station attendants and commit pretend-suicide. Embrace the denim-on-denim and the excessive use of plaid (duh, 90's) and bear in mind that the three best accessories a girl can have are her hair, her give em' hell attitude and her Mustang.

'Oh Make Me Over' The Style of: Gillian Owens (Practical Magic)

All images from Practical Magic (1998)

Although she may not have had the best taste in men, Gillian Owens had a look that, ever since the tender age of ten years old, has me weak at the knees. Born into a family of cursed witches, Gillian rocked the role of carefree heartbreaker; driving men wild with her long red hair, her snake wrist tattoo and porcelain white skin. Her wardrobe resembled the greatest hits of nineties fashion; slip dresses layered under scratchy cardigans, midriff-baring tops teamed with billowing maxi skirts, chunky mule shoes, thick eyeliner and an unashamed affection for belly chains.

So make like Gillian and chow down your chocolate brownie for breakfast, belt out Joni Mitchell's A Case of You in the shower and make sure to keep your tiger's eye near. Just remember that tequila is best when enjoyed in moderation and when it's not possessed by the evil spirit for your ex-lover, and that the best time for margaritas is obviously midnight.
