Please don't call me crazy, I know this one is pretty out there. But oh wait, she's another nineties character; what a surprise! 

Played by Caroline Quentin, she was my favourite of Jonathan Creek's side kicks, but most will probably say that she is one of the least stylish or demure. She was, however, the one who inspired me to go and buy my current handbag. I searched for ages for one exactly the same as hers (which I believe is a 'Coach' bag) and I finally found a similar one in the fabulous vintage store Beyond Retro for a mere twenty quid. It's not even anything special, it's just a faded black leather bucket bag. I was just desperate for it the moment I saw her with it in the 'Jack in the Box' episode, and then every other episode for the next three series.

Famous for her laziness, excessive chain smoking and rather tacky fashion sense, this is one that is one of the most unlikely of mine. Even so, it was after I re-watched all of the original nineties episodes that I became obsessed with Caroline Ahern's character. 

While I'm not quite drooling over her Adidas leggings or gold sovereign rings, It was the Royle Family character that inspired me to go out and buy a coffee coloured lippy and cut a fringe into my hair. 

Okay perhaps this one isn't so unlikely!

I've always loved the nineties, I think fashion wise it is one of my favourite eras. This is mostly because of how easy it is to dress: throw on a pair of leggings and an over sized shirt et voila! you're good to go. 

Recently I've been watching a lot of the early episodes of friends after I got the box set for Christmas last year, and I have fallen even more in love with Rachel Karen Green. I mean she's always been my favourite, but before I hadn't realised how much effortless style she carried in the early episodes. She had a number of different styles, all of which I love. One is the cute high-waist mini skirts she wore with her little aprons which show off her incredible pins. Her laid back lounging outfits even made her look incredible. She often rocked the faded denim look too, and managed to pull of dungarees without looking like a small child (something i am yet to achieve).
