Thank you to my boyfriend Keelan for helping me take photos, and for just being the best person to hangout with all weekend. 

First, I'd like to say I'm sorry for being kind of absent for the past couple of weeks. They have been pretty hectic trying to get school work done, midterm portfolios, and picking out my Coachella outfits (a pretty big headache). I had such a great weekend, starting out seeing a last minute Julian Casablancas show at the Roxy in Hollywood. ( I was only a few feet away from him, and I've never had a bigger smile on my face) Then of course I had Coachella, which never disappoints. My highlight was 100% seeing Julian Casablancas at Mojave, and even though he only played one random Strokes song, I still worship the ground that he walks on. Here's a little sampling of my trip, if you also went to Coachella, who was your favorite band?

Next stop Governor's Ball!

Frankie B. Silver Blazer and Pants

Chloé Booties

Silver Pumps, Helmut Lang Blazer

Chaser Bowie Top

Frankie B. Shorts

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?

Punk Pencil Skirt

Lace Bracelet

Cameo Pillow

Today, I was feeling in an all black kind of mood and considering most of my wardrobe consists of black, you can imagine these moods happen quite often. Also, when am I not feeling black, lace and studs? I have always been really inspired by punk style and when I received some of these rad pieces from the rock n roll brand Pretty Attitude, I couldn't be more excited to style them! I decided to pair this awesome punk pencil skirt with a band t-shirt, but you could totally rock this with a crop top too (I just love showing my music pride). I like to think this outfit is what happens when a goth goes to Coachella.

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?

Valentine's Day is near, which means it's time for a Valentine's day inspired post (and eating tons of chocolate whether you're single or not). So I have to admit that I wore this dress for our family Christmas party last year, but I think this dress actually works perfectly as a Valentine's day dress as well. I really think this sequin number is a great holiday dress, so why not repeat? I was inspired to punk up my Valentine's day look after I visited Kat Von D's Wonderland Gallery a couple weeks ago and picked up this amazing burgundy/plum lipstick. Wonderland is one of the coolest stores in LA, so if you get the chance to check it out please do so! A lot of people think Valentine's day is all about pink and red, but I don't see why you can't add a little purple and darker tones to the mix!

I hope you all have a happy Valentine's day whether you spend it with your family, your significant other, your pet, or alone in bed watching Millionaire Matchmaker reruns! Just remember candy makes everything better.

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOM/PHOTOGRAPHER!

Anyone have any fun Valentine's day plans?
LOVE,

Frankie
