"Clarissa Explains It All" had us hooked on SNICK (that's Saturday Night Nickelodeon for those of you who don't remember) from the moment it debuted. We loved how Clarissa broke the fourth wall to let us into her world and we can still sing along with the show's theme song ("naaah nah nah na-na...way cool"), but it was her eclectic teenybopper style that had us always coming back for more. To help us recreate Clarissa's look for today we checked in with our fashion expert Brian, who had some great tips.
Brian says: Clarissa's style might be a little too retro (and not in a good way) for today, but you can still capture the essence of her look without getting sideways glances on the street. Swap her button-front shirt with a fun peasant blouse and substitute a pair of girly ballet flats for her boring black shoes.

Style Flashback: Buffy From "Buffy The Vampire Slayer"

Goth never looked quite as good as it did on Sarah Michelle Gellar as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." She kicked some serious butt with some serious style. Buffy rocked black and leather like nobody's business, and the sultry bad-girl look she sported on the show landed her one of the hottest vampires on the small screen (we love you, Angel). We wanted some tips on how to re-create Buffy's look, and Lemondrop's fashion expert Brian answered the call. Brian says, "Buffy was edgy without being too over the top; sexy without showing too much skin -- and that's the reason she was always so stylin'. She straddled the line between kick-ass vampire slayer and regular teenager by mixing textures and styles to create a unique, am-I-dangerous-or-not look." Click over to Lemondrop to see how you can update her iconic 90s look.
