Two very different looks, both very clearly from the 90s.

The 90s was in many ways, one of the most formative decades of my life. I went from age 6-15 during the 90s. No internet, no social media, no cell phones, the Spice Girls. What a time to be alive! I have a lot of nostalgia for that time. Yes I was a kid, but things felt simpler.

In all honesty, when we decided to move to Vermont, there was a big part of me that saw it as a place where I could re-create some of that carefree childhood for Marin. And with everything happening in the world, it’s never felt like a better time to lean into the things that made the 90s so great.

I don’t care what age you are or whether or not you have kids, everyone could use a 90s summer. Here are some ideas to get you started, be prepared for some serious nostalgia.
