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.

Styled by Me and Daniella Clarke (my mom!)

Last week I was so excited to hear from my friend Cassidy Turner who asked to take photos of me for my blog! I have known Cassidy for a really long time and she is an amazingly talented photographer! My mom recently brought home these awesome gold metallic shorts, which I paired with a David Bowie top, silver pumps, a blazer, my favorite hat, and mirrored sunglasses. Gold and metallic naturally remind me of David Bowie, hence the Bowie shirt choice. Also, I'm obsessed with mirrored sunglasses, partially because Julian Casablancas turned me onto them. SPEAKING OF Julian Casablancas, guess who's going to the Governor's Ball music festival in NYC over the summer? SO excited to see The Strokes! Stay tuned for more photos taken by Cassidy on my blog!

While you're at it, check out Cassidy's website and Instagram to see more of her amazing photos!

Frankie B. Jean Shorts

Jeffrey Campbell Booties

Black Keys Tee

Another sunny day in LA! The perfect time to pull out your favorite shorts and go out and about. Today I went to Downtown LA to check out some of the trade shows in the design spaces (It was SO hard not buying anything.) I decided to wear my new cut-out Frankie B. shorts with a band tee and Jeffrey Campbell booties as an easy sunny day outfit. Band tee's are my usual go-to item especially when I can't decide what to wear with shorts. NOTE: wear a band tee that you can name at least 3 songs from the bands! I chose one of my favorite bands The Black Keys (I've seen them live 3 times and they are great!) These Jeffrey Campbells were featured in one of my old posts, but they really can go with so many different outfits. I've also just been on a white shoe kick lately.

What's your go-to item or outfit?

Crimson and Clover

This post is dedicated to one of my biggest style/musical influences (can you guess?) none other than JOAN JETT! I recently bought Joan Jett's "I Love Rock n' Roll" on vinyl and every time I look at it I get the urge to put on my pink blazer and a neck tie to attempt to look half as cool as Joan Jett. (If you don't know the photo I'm referencing, click here!) These photos were taken outside of one of my favorite record stores in LA called Freakbeat Records.

Although 80% of my closet consists of black matter, I do love a little pop of color (especially pink!). My mom also just made these awesome neck ties in a few different colors, and I'm kind of thinking of wearing them everyday.

One of my favorite scores from Wasteland was this Suzi Quatro concert tee. Suzi Quatro was a huge influence of Joan Jett, so naturally I love Suzi Quatro too. (Who's Suzi Quatro? click here... now do you want to be her? yeah me too.)

Last but not least, my Chloé boots. As you can imagine these are my prized possessions. I wear them probably way more than I should, but how can I help it? I begged for these for years and when I finally got them, I cried.

Who's your style icon?

Lock Necklace

Ray-Bans Sunglasses, One Teaspoon Bralette

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

polka dots, clubmasters, bows, and creepers?

Dress from Wasteland , Ray-Bans sunglasses

Metallic creepers, Pink bow

So I don't mean to brag, but it was dress weather today in LA... ANYWAYS! I always like mixing punk and girly things, hence how the pink metallic creepers and bow combination came to be. I was at first hesitant to buy these creepers, because I had no idea what I would pair them with. But my boyfriend bought these for me (round of applause for Keelan!) and I've actually worn them more times than I can count. I think the key is not to overplay the whole punk look, so I decided to pair them with a polka dot dress, bow, and my new favorite ray-ban club masters!

If you wear creepers, how do you do it? I feel like it's sometimes a challenge for a lot of people.
