Although a lot of the most-loved '90s stars are still in the spotlight, we like to reminisce on how they looked when we first fell for them — flannel, visors, overalls, and all. Those styles may seem like a thing of the past, but Urban Outfitters has brought back the decade's finest with nostalgic men's pieces that include a denim vest and a fanny pack, not to mention the troll earrings for women. To see the looks in all their original '90s glory, take a look at these hunky heartthrobs sporting the most memorable trends of the decade!

333 Reasons Why Being a '90s Girl Rocked Our Jellies Off

Welcome to throwback Thursday!

by Tara Block

Welcome to throwback Thursday! This week in '90s news, ~~boy~~ man band 98 Degrees has released a new song called "Microphone," which may or may not be alluding to a certain part of the male anatomy. Also, Clarissa Explains It All is going to be a book, and we uncovered an adorable clip of Mouseketeers-turned-heartthrobs Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling.

We can't help but get nostalgic thinking about growing up in the 1990s. Remembering those days reminds us of the music, fashion, heartthrobs, toys, and TV shows that made the '90s totally rad. So let's take a trip down memory lane to our '90s girlhood, from Ring Pops, 90210, and Clueless to stick-on earrings, Devon Sawa, and Titanic! Check it out!

Would You Read These '90s TV Shows-Turned Books?

Our favorite wise teen Clarissa Darling is coming back, but she'll be dishing her thoughts on page instead of on screen.

by Tara Block

Our favorite wise teen Clarissa Darling is coming back, but she'll be dishing her thoughts on page instead of on screen. The '90s Nickelodeon show Clarissa Explains It All is returning as a book, Things I Can't Explain. Slated for release in late 2014, the book would catch up with a 23-year-old Clarissa trying to make it as a journalist slash "real adult" amidst the relationship drama that ensues.

We've all heard of books made into movies and TV shows, but not as much about the reverse scenario of a TV show inspiring a novel or book series. Turns out there are a handful of shows that began in the same nostalgic era as Clarissa — the '90s — that were then adapted into page-turners. There's often controversy on whether an adaptation is better or worse than its origin material, so I'm wondering: would you read it? And if you have, how did the book version stack up to the TV series?

Happy birthday, MPG! Mark-Paul Gosselaar turns 39 today, and it's hard to believe that the Saved by the Bell heartthrob — who's just as hot as ever on Franklin and Bash — is nearing 40. Kelly Kapowski wasn't the only one smitten with Zack Morris. I would have called him on that oversize cell phone if only I had the number. If you (or your friends) had a thing for MPG's Bayside High alter ego, these fun, nostalgic gifts will give you a Zack Attack!

Happy Birthday, Katie Holmes! A Look at Her Dawson Days

Today, Katie Holmes turns 34.

by Tara Block

Today, Katie Holmes turns 34. Happy birthday, Katie! While the actress has gone through a tough year with her split from husband Tom Cruise, we hope to see more of Katie in 2013. We'll keep our fingers crossed for a Dawson's Creek reunion (hey, she hasn't ruled it out!), but in the meantime, we're going back, way back — before Suri was even a glimmer in her mother's eye — to the days when Katie was known as Joey Potter. Katie starred on Dawson's Creek from 1998 to 2003, and the newbie actress spent those years starring in movies like Disturbing Behavior and Pieces of April, and attending red carpet events with her beau at the time, Chris Klein. Take a walk down memory lane with birthday girl Katie circa the late '90s and early '00s now!
