New York Dolls Tee- Nasty Gal

Shorts- American Apparel

Star studded boots- Kate Bosworth x Matisse (Nasty Gal)

I may or may not have suffered through wearing a jacket in 100 degree weather just so I could post about this new silver metallic leather jacket I got for my birthday. I guess I could've waited to post about it during more suitable weather, but I'll suffer for fashion. I paired the jacket with a pair of star studded boots, shorts, and a New York Dolls tee to complete the glam vibe I was going for. My inspiration for this outfit was a photo of Lita Ford I found on pinterest. Lita wears short shorts paired with some silver metallic boots. Like I said, this outfit was inspired by, which doesn't mean you have to copy every piece she's wearing, but you can pick elements you like from the outfit and create your own look. In this case, I was inspired by her silver metallic palette and combo of shorts and boots.

On another note, have you heard of this new band called The Struts? I'm definitely digging their glam rock vibes. The singer is a combination of every great rockstar from the 70's. Check them out if you're looking for a new rock band to listen to and if you like a band with style. Watch their video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq_BaUrFnhk

It's been a while since a traditional outfit post, but why stick to the traditional anyway? This photo set is from a photo shoot I did last month inspired by none other than Saint Laurent! I love Saint Laurent for their 70's rocker style. From wide rimmed hats to glitter boots, I'm a fan. Now unfortunately for all of us, Saint Laurent isn't in everyone's price range; however, there's ways to achieve the look without breaking your bank. Remember good ole glam rock? That's all you need to know: glitter,(p)leather, boots and blazers!

Leather Jacket- Topshop

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.

As always, my biggest style inspiration is 70's glam rock. So running with that theme, all of these photos were shot in my dad's home recording studio. I love anything glitter or metallic, in other words, anything Marc Bolan or David Bowie would wear is fair game. For this outfit I tried to play up the rocker vibe without being too literal about it (as you see i'm not wearing a David Bowie band tee with this). I love these coated high-waisted jeans because they look like leather, but surprise they're not!

This isn't exactly a summer outfit (not even a little bit) but this is definitely something I would wear out to a concert, my own concert, or just a night out.

What/Who is your biggest style inspiration?

too glam for tea

Gold top, Frankie B. Jeans

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?
