    Thank you, Alicia Silverstone, for bringing our attention to Chanel Nouvelle Vague before it was Chanel Nouvelle Vague. Plus the plastic rings.

    In the second most '90s story ever told, Alexis Bledel modeled for an ad campaign wearing marabou-festooned raver buns and a green choker. And *that* is our saccharine, sparkly youth summed up in one image. #takemeback

    Assistant Editor

    Chelsea Peng is a writer and editor who was formerly the assistant editor at Marie Claire. She's also worked for The Strategist and Refinery29, and is a graduate of Northwestern University. On her tombstone, she would like a GIF of herself that's better than the one that already exists on the Internet and a free fro-yo machine. Besides frozen dairy products, she's into pirates, carbs, Balzac, and snacking so hard she has to go lie down.
