I love the look and texture of paint, especially in black and white.
Zip It Up
I’m loving zippers lately, in normal and unusal places.

Bad To The Bone

Even though it’s the summer of 2009 I am still trying my best to dress as bad ass as I can. I’m still rocking combat boots, smudgy pitch black eye liner, and electric blue nail polish. Freja Beha is one of my style icons, and I still think Alexander Wang F/W 0809 is one of the best collections to come out of New York in years. In fact that collection really added more grunge and punk elements to the hipster movement. So props to Alexander for truly being a trend setter, and changing fashion.
I’ll continue to add more chains, more skulls, and recently more weapons to my wardrobe and accessories.
Cause that’s what I like.
Protect Yourself

Okay, so I lied. The second I posted that I would be on a two week hiatus, I immediately felt guilty. I’ve been meaning to do this post for while now anyway.
I’m really into weapons as accessories right now. I think this obsession started with the Chanel Cruise gun shoes (above), and truly took off with the razor blades necklace in Vogue Paris (below). I’m searching for the perfect gun or knife pendant.
I’m still in love with studs and spikes as well. Studs are everywhere now, the style.com accessory report was full of them. As long as they’re done with a punk edge I’ll stay faithful to them. I really want one of the Tory Burch F/W 09 bags. Who knew Tory had a hard edge?

Spikes are staying slightly lower on the radar. I’m loving the arm bracelets in the photo below from Pop magazine.

Giving In
First, let me apologize for the lack of update here. Real life has demanded much more of me than usual. Also when I post here I want the posts to be a perfect form of self expression balanced out with somewhat new info/finds. It takes time to plan those kind of posts (at least for me). Anyway right now I’m dealing with finals, so I don’t believe I’ll be doing a proper post for another two weeks.
But In good news I started a twitter. I kind of feel like I’m selling out to be honest. But I have so many random fashion related thoughts that it only makes sense. So check it out!
Oh god I can’t believe I just said tweet. Anyway check it out so I won’t regret starting it.
