Rukiya's World: TV Fashionistas

I love watching re-runs of old TV shows and observing the fashion throw backs. The 80's and 90's definitely had its share of fashionistas on TV. Even though all of these shows were either ahead of my time or just started airing when I was born, I still feel a fashion kinship with particular characters. I give you my top 4 TV fashionistas (in no particular order).

Detective Judith "Judy" Hoffs, 21 Jump Street
Clearly, Holly was sporting the "boyfriend blazer" with skinny jeans way back in the day.


Whitley Gilbert, A Different World
Whitley used to name drop people like Yves Saint Laurent way before he was known by the not-so-fashionable masses. She was always conservative yet fashion forward. Not only that but Ms. Gilbert was always fabulously groomed within an inch of her life!




Denise Huxtable, The Cosby Show
Denise always kept it boho and grunge with her trendsetting style.

Hillary Banks, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
One thing I liked about Hillary is in the early days of the show she always managed to keep it classy by adding a hat to her outfit.

Fashion Lust: The Gypsy in Me is Taking Over

All I am saying is that I want this dress. This is true fashion lust at its best. Gypsy Chic - sounds fab. You heard it here first. This hip dress is by Gypsy 05 and is available at Trend Boutique.

Rukiya's World: Rompin' Around

I just love this chic and simple black linen romper. It's absolutely perfect for those sizzling summer days when the heat is almost just too much to bear!!!
