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.

too glam for tea

Gold top, Frankie B. Jeans

Mirrored sunglasses

Metallic pumps

This may not be your typical saturday afternoon tea outfit, but who said typical was cool? Today I went out for tea in Beverly Hills but had some trouble finding a dress fit for a civilized afternoon tea. So I thought why not just dress up my new jeans with pumps and a dressy top? I'm loving the idea of cropped jeans right now, especially with spring around the corner (shout out to my mom for the jean inspiration). I know some may think mixing gold and silver are a fashion no-no, but I kind of thought this worked out nicely. What are some fashion no-no's that you like to defy?

t'was a very bowie christmas

I've had this idea for a post for a while now, but what better day to post than David Bowie's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOWIE!

Without a doubt Bowie is a style icon for many, so I'm not complaining that most of my presents this year seemed to run with the Bowie theme.

David Bowie Is

This book David Bowie Is is totally awesome (not to mention it looks so cool in my bedroom). The book includes pictures of Bowie's best outfits, along with handwritten lyrics to his hit songs. If you ever need a little inspiration, this book is the perfect tool. I could flip through this book for hours.

Shoe Cult

These gold boots shall be my every day boots. I'm not one to wear heels every day, but these are actually pretty comfortable. If you're interested Nasty Gal is selling them 75% off right now, so click through to the link if you're as obsessed as I am.

Allison Burn's "Black Like My Heart" collection

Huge thank you to Allison Burns for custom making this metallic leather british flag pillow for me. This pillow fits right in with my british rock inspired room. Allison is a super cool person, talented designer, and a long time friend of my mom's. Her new "Black Like My Heart" collection is perfect for all you rockers, so check itttt!

Topshop Blazer

Is it just me or does this remind anyone else of Russell Brand's blazer in Get Him to the Greek? #strokethefurrywall . I've been wanting a fitted silver blazer for a while now, and of course my mom found the perfect one from Topshop.

wow-- that was a lot of metallic for one post, but it IS Bowie's birthday today!
