Hive 5: Cuffed Sleeves and Cutoffs, 90210 Style

The new 90210 premieres on September 2, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm kind of going to miss the California-cool 90s looks that practically defined the era, you know, long before Alexander Wang and the like decided to bring the cuffed sleeves and cutoffs back at prices that make a trip to the gas station feel like bargain shopping...humph. Ok, rant over. In honor of the show's much-anticipated return, I went back in time searching the Hive for nineties-inspired clothes that I'd happily wear now, except for maybe a black bodysuit. Not so sure about that one. But an oversized, perfectly draped tee tucked into some light-wash distressed denim shorts? Now we're talking. But back to what I was saying before, I honestly hope the clothes on the new 90210 do impress, because if Luke Perry isn't coming back, I'll need something to hold my attention...

Summer Style: 11 Classic Canvas Sneakers

Now and Then is one of those classic girls-coming-of-age movies. Most of the action takes place in the 1970s, so actresses Christina Ricci, Thora Birch, Gaby Hoffmann, and Ashleigh Aston Moore got to wear some pretty sweet clothes. (I hope I'm not the only one to think cut-off jean shorts, plaid shirts, and the most basic sneakers ever are awesome.) Exchange your usual flip-flops for canvas sneaks, and channel your favorite of the four girls€”I'm a Samantha (Gaby Hoffmann). Check out the SLIDESHOW for 11 of my favorites!

Trend I Hate: High Heeled Sneakers. Because Some Hybrids Aren't Meant To Be

TomKat, tofurkey, skorts, mullets...these are all examples of hybrids gone wrong. Just like high heels and sneakers. They're like oil and water - they just don't mix. For some reason, they seem to be making a comeback in creations from L.A.M.B., Sketchers, Steve Madden, Ash, and even Pierre Hardy. Sneakers are meant to be comfortable and not heinously high. Rubber soles + laces + high tops + heels/wedges = tacky. We need to stick with combinations that work. Like KFC/Taco Bell. Oh yeah, baby. That's what's up.
