Okay, none of this is actually vintage, except maybe my dad's 1964 Mustang in the background. That being said, there's a way to do a vintage look without being so literal about it. I've been noticing lately that flares and 70's are in. I'm not one to usually jump on the trends band wagon, but I do love the 70's. This outfit is 70's inspired, but with a modern twist. In Paramore world, this t-shirt is vintage (it's a tour t-shirt from 2007), but they're still a current band. Similarly, the jeans I'm wearing are from my mom's revival of the 70's brand Dittos. One thing to note about wearing super wide flares, you need some high shoes to prevent your pant legs from dragging on the ground. Well, at least this is true for me because I'm not all that tall. Jeffrey Campbells have some good platforms that could give you some height under any wide flares. 

What's your favorite decade?

Criss Cross Leotard- Pretty Attitude

Pleather Skirt- Nasty Gal

Leopard Booties- Saint Laurent

Here's another all black outfit... Just kidding, this time I wore leopard boots ;) I promise I'm not feeling down, but ever since I dyed my hair I think it just feels good to be back in black. Today I decided to wear this awesome criss cross leotard I got from Pretty Attitude. Did I say leotard? I meant swimsuit! My mom is the one who taught me that leotards/swimsuits double as great shirts. Plus, as the namesake of Frankie B. jeans, I can't tell you how many times I've heard "crack kills" and it's kind of nice to feel covered in a leotard. As for the rest of the outfit, I paired the leotard with a pleather pencil skirt, leopard booties and my go-to leather jacket.

The shoe strike has been lifted! Oh, and hi again! I had a pretty successful Christmas/Hanukkah, as I scored these Saint Laurent glitter booties. I'm really not much of a designer snob, but Saint Laurent is always my weakness. Saint Laurent's collections are so glam rock lately and my shoes fall right into that category! Can't you just see Ziggy Stardust rocking these? (happy birthday David Bowie!) As for the rest of the outfit, I decided to keep the shoes as the focal point by wearing all black. I know a lot of people might feel like they can't pull of pink glitter boots, but I think the key to any statement piece is to keep the rest of the outfit simple. Lately, I've been reading a collection of Edgar Allen Poe poems which kind of inspired this black coat/cloak thing I've got going on. The coat also reminds me of something Marc Bolan might wear. 

Comment and let me know what your most beloved present was this holiday season!

Halloween is just 3 days away!! I'm so excited, Halloween is my favorite holiday. I'm one of those people who plans 6 months ahead what I'm going to be for Halloween. Nevertheless, I always end up picking costumes that aren't sold at a costume store. I usually have to put them together myself or have my mom make them. In the past some of my Halloween costumes have been Joan Jett, Honey Boo Boo, a Glam Rocker and Little Miss Sunshine. For this costume, I actually already had all of the pieces sitting in my closet, including the wig! The silver jumpsuit I purchased off Amazon last year for a disco party, the silver glitter boots are one of my favorites in my closet, and the wig was a blonde wig my mom used for her halloween costume a couple years ago that I just spray painted orange. 

Here's a little something different I decided to do! Here's a quick video of how I transformed into Ziggy Stardust! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Feel free to tell me what you're going to be for halloween in the comments!

All clothes thrifted from Wasteland

Fish Net Bracelet- Urban Lace

Motorcycle Ring- Frisk Jewelry

This post is dedicated to RECYCLING! I'm not much of a thrift shopper, but when I do Wasteland is my favorite place to go. I'm just not very patient and have a hard time sifting through clothes for hours, but I can always count on Wasteland to have a good selection (plus it's not overwhelming). Recently I found out about this awesome jewelry line called Urban Lace who make their jewelry out of recycled bicycle inner tubes! I was immediately drawn to their Siren bracelet, because I thought it was kind of punk and looked like fish net tights. After getting this bracelet, I was inspired to put together a recycled look. This outfit head-to-toe (with the exception of the jewelry) is entirely thrifted from Wasteland. I also got this really awesome motorcycle ring from Frisk Jewelry (not recycled) but wanted to show that off because it's pretty rad too!! 

REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE

Ever get completely stuck on what to wear? Sometimes one of the most helpful things for me to do is put on a record and get inspired. For the past couple of years I have been really inspired by the whole 70's glam rock look. In other words, I pretty much love anything gold or silver metallic. Recently, I bought a T.Rex "Electric Warrior" vinyl, and that has been my go-to album to listen to when I'm looking for a little outfit inspiration. You'd be surprised, sometimes I listen to one of my Strokes vinyls and end up looking like Julian Casablancas for the day. If you're like me and think music and fashion go hand and hand, this could be a really useful technique to help you get inspired.

Before school starts back up again, my friends and I decided to hit up the Amoeba sidewalk sale yesterday. I ended up buying myself Joan Jett's "I Love Rock n Roll" vinyl (no surprise there). Afterwards we head out to Melrose and split a brownie sundae at Johnny Rockets. Guilty, but totally worth it... 

This outfit started with me really wanting to wear that lock necklace I got for Christmas. A few outfit changes later, and after my closet had been turned completely upside down, I came up with this. 

Thank you everyone for following and all your lovely comments. Also, special thanks to Keelan and Zoe for taking these pictures for me. <3
