Etsy Shop of the Month: Hurra

90s Hand Drawn Sticker Pack #2

Mmmmm, the sweet smell of nostalgia. That's the scent wafting off Hurra's etsy shop - a warm, cozy base with top notes of pizza and ALF. This shop takes you right back to your youth (or, for those on the 90s trend for the first time, your fantasy youth) with hand drawn illustrations of the decade's finest, from Cher Horowitz to Dawson Leery to Mrs. Doubtfire.

Modern culture reigns supreme here too, with avocado, pizza and Beyonce as far as the eye can see. Each person or thing produced from Hurra's pen becomes a stylized fantasy version of itself, all bright colors and kitschy winks. Their diverse sticker packs are just waiting to be stuck on your notebooks and laptops, and their t-shirts are perfect for those "oh, this old thing?" moments at trivia night.

Clarissa Explains It All Costume

The icon herself, Clarissa Darling of Clarissa Explains It All, makes a fun, quirky and very recognizable costume, with tons of room for customization. A 90s classic, Clarissa's style is all about over-the-top pattern mixing, bright colors, headbands, shorts layered under other shorts, 60s flowers, 90s pop art, polka dots, globe-shaped earrings...all the good stuff!

Dressing as Clarissa seems like a blast because you can basically wear any fun, bright clothes you want. Some black elements, like a moto jacket and combat boots, ground the look and make it distinctly Clarissa rather than just generically 90s. Just to be sure, why not carry a toy alligator as a reference to her pet Elvis?

Here's how I'd make a DIY Clarissa Darling costume:

The Inspiration

Shorts  •  Jean Shorts •  Shirt  •  Socks  •  Flower Patches  •  Belt  •  Bracelets  •  Alligator  •  Boots  •  Hair Scarf  •  Earrings

Live my childhood dream of having a piece of Clarissa's wardrobe! This is great to pair with maybe a Ferguson or Sam costume (carry a tiny ladder?!) for groups/couples, but honestly who needs anyone else when you look this cool?
