Before I moved into my apartment a few months ago I was thinking about what I wanted it to be like and got inspired when I watched You've Got Mail.

because we still love her style 25 years later

Don't you just love You've Got Mail? One thing I love about it is that it has great scenes from each season. Fall: "Don't you just love New York in the Fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies." Winter: Of course I want to see Greg Kinnear sing "the horn...the horn...it sounds so forlorn." and it would be a shame to miss New York in the Spring... And of course I could watch it countless times just to see Kathleen Kelly's apartment. Here are a few things I love about it: Books everywhere (on bookshelves, in baskets, stacked on the table) Quilts & floral patterns Pictures hung in obscure places Anything is better with Tom Hanks! & daisies. a comfortable couch: hard to beat. Kathleen Kelly's apartment is not spotless. It looks like someone actually lives there, which is refreshing for a romantic comedy. There are lots of old-fashioned things (floral prints & framed family photos), but it doesn't look dated. Her apartment is rearranged throughout the movie. Even the bed linens change. Gotta love that Nora Ephron. Lots of plants & fresh flowers Sunny windows & sheer curtains Interesting furniture placement. The bed comes out diagonally from the wall, the desk is in the middle of the room, & she has two couches - on opposite ends of the apartment. Good ideas for decorating a small or oddly shaped apartment. Note the framed doily. Awesome. My sister & I lived together for a few years after I graduated from college. One day we were watching You've Got Mail, and I said "bah! I just want our apartment to look exactly like that!" She paused the movie and said: "Look around." Comfortable couch, floral fabric, sheer curtains, books everywhere...the same wall colour. Years of studying Kathleen Kelly's great apartment - & absorbing her style by osmosis while watching You've Got Mail so many times - had apparently paid off. Come to think of it, it's almost fall & it might be time for a walk to Starbucks for a tall decaf cappuccino. And it's always a good time for a re-watching of You've Got Mail.

What is Valentine's Day if not for watching 17-year-old rom coms, and stalking their characters' impossibly nice pre-war apartments? Such was our logic in revisiting You've Got Mail, which is as much of a love letter to a certain oh-so-90s version of the Upper West Side as it is to, well, love letters.

Romance novel retellings of the Hades and Persephone myth are increasingly common. What gives this relationship such staying power?

It’s also no wonder that ‘90s Meg Ryan style appreciation posts are rampant this time of year — especially now that the styles we loved during the end of the 20th century are making a comeback. Featuring turtlenecks and layered knits and sweater sets, You’ve Got Mail showcases Ryan-meets-Ephron film fashion at its best, and that’s all thanks to costume designer Albert Wolsky. Now 89 years old, the Academy Award winner has lent his talents to films such as Grease, Sophie’s Choice, Runaway Bride,
