Who knew you could get fashion inspiration from a cheesy Sylvester Stallone Action Flick?

With another rainy weekend on the Sunshine Coast Hubby and I decided to rent a couple of DVD's from the weekly section (nothing in the new release section looked appealing). In typical boy manner, his pick was a 1994 action flick called "The Specialist" starring Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone.

Having not seen Sharon in a movie for a while I was very quickly reminded of how much I loved her style throughout the 90's. She mixed sexiness and sophistication so flawlessly and while watching the movie I found myself taken on a fabulous & unexpected fashion journey (which at least made up for the corny story line of the film).

I then started thinking about how I can grab inspiration from some of her amazing 90’s outfits and transform them into 2009 fabulousness. After Googling some film stills however I quickly realised that my now current fashion icons (see Ashley Olsen below) are already one step ahead of me.

Slow off the mark or not, I think I’ll be renting a few more of Sharon’s movies again this weekend. I definitely recommend “The Specialist” ( the cheesiness is actually pretty entertaining), and from what I can remember Basic Instinct sported some pretty good outfits as well. Who knew I’d be putting movies like this along with SATC & Devil Wears Prada for style inspiration!
