1. Jelly flats
From designer brands like Coach and RED Valentino have embraced the 90’s staple that was “the jelly.” Not only does these cute slip-ons and sandals elicit fond memories of summer days past, they are incredibly comfortable! This pair from Topshop is adorable, and will become a staple in any wardrobe.

2. Overalls
You may have seen them on ultimate it-girl Alexa Chung, or perhaps your 6 year-old self posing for a first-day of school photo on the front step, but from 90’s to now, overalls are the item to have in your closet. One tip to remember: go short, or go home.

3. Heart-shaped sunnies
From the 3rd grade treasure box to the shelves of the Urban Outfitters, heart-shaped sunnies are perfect for a day on the beach or a summer music festival. Grab a vintage pair from Time after Time or head to the mall to protect your eyes and channel your inner-child.

4. Mini backpack
Bigger is not always better. Trade in your Jansport or North Face for a cute, teeny-tiny leather pack that is just big enough to hold the essentials. You’ll look cool and your shoulders will thank you.
