Be Mine! gift ideas, inspo, and more!

Hi lovers, it's almost Valentine's Day and even though some of you might not be as fond of this holiday as others, let's just say this holiday is about celebrating love in any form. Whether it be from your mom, dad, best friend, dog, cat, fish, significant other, grandma, yourself, whatever, show them some love! These are just a few cute Valentine's Day items I put together for inspiration. BUT-- you don't necessarily need to spend any money to show someone you love them. Along with my collage of inspo, I'm also going to share with you some free and/or affordable options (which will be in bold)! you're welcome.

Karen O's Crush Songs- This is a super cute indie solo album by Karen O, lead singer of Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I just really liked the idea of an album of "crush songs"(also it was released on Julian Casablancas' record label, Cult Records). OPTION: write your own "crush" or love song for someone you like/love/appreciate/etc. I mean it doesn't have to be a love song masterpiece like "Something" by the Beatles, but as long as it comes from the heart, I'm sure they will appreciate it. OPTION 2: Don't know how to write music? Make a mix tape of some sappy love songs!

Miley Cyrus Viva Glam Mac Lipstick - I can't really picture myself wearing a hot pink lipstick, but I'm willing to give it a try. I love Mac lipstick, and I think this shade of pink is especially suitable for Valentine's Day.

NCLA Hello Kitty Nail Stickers- I'm really terrible at doing my own nails, so these nail stickers make my life so much easier!

"Like I do" Card- Nylon's online shop has some pretty cool cards. I even found a Robert Plant Valentine's day card. Check out their site, you can find some pretty unique cards. OPTION: This is kind of a given, but you can always make your own card. You can either hand draw it or come up with some sort of collage and write a poem inside!

LUSH Glitter Heart Bubble Bar- These LUSH bubble bars always make great gifts! Also, they will make your bubble bath sparkle!

Bedazzled Lip Sunglasses- I found these sparklers on Nylon's online shop and fell in love with them. I would wear these on a regular day, not just Valentine's day...

(For those in LA)- Duff's Cake Mix on Melrose is having a Valentine's Day cupcake decorating party! I want to go!! If you also want to go, here is a link to make a reservation! OPTION (if you don't live in LA): Throw your own cupcake decorating party with your significant other or by yourself!

I hope this gives you some inspiration in some form! If you're feeling lonely, take the day to do something for yourself (I feel like I might have stolen that line from one of my instructors at Cardio Barre).

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Criss Cross

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.

If you're like me, I'm not one to walk out of the house in workout clothes. I workout and immediately shower and change; however, lately I've been noticing more and more women walking around every day in active wear. So this is where SOLOW comes into the picture. My mom recently started collaborating with an activewear line called SOLOW, but what's great about SOLOW is it is designed to be worn from gym to street. I know I know, it's my mom blahblahblah, but I honestly really like their pieces. This windbreaker reminds me of a leather jacket, and these leggings are slouchy and cropped and hardly look like workout leggings! This collection will be launching at the end of this month, so get excited! ALSO- if you like what you're seeing.... for the first time ever I'm holding a GIVEAWAY.

Here's what you do:

comment on my post on Instagram (@frankieberry) or Facebook (Facebook.com/frankiesplanetblog) and tag 3 FRIENDS for a chance to win a pair of SOLOW leggings. Winner will be chosen at random! GOOD LUCK!

GLITTER boots- Saint Laurent

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!

A Bowie Halloween

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!

What do skulls, studs, and hello kitty all have in common? I don't know, but I like it. On Friday I went to the Hello Kitty Exhibition at the Japanese American Museum and I loved it (hence the hello kitty temp tattoo). I've always kind of been a bit of a contradiction. Most of my closet is black matter, but I also have a hello kitty fetish. I don't know, I mean hello kitty can be punk right?

This outfit has been my go-to outfit lately. I'm a big fan of wearing leotards as tops (especially when they snap at the bottom so it's not a whole ordeal to go to the bathroom). I'm also in awe of my new mini Zara purse. It's so cute and small, yet it still fits my phone (granted I don't have the 6 plus). What's your go-to outfit?

Summertime Blues

Bowler Hat- Topshop

Top- Nasty Gal

Shorts- Frankie B.

Black Jeffrey Campbell Boots- Wasteland

Summer has come to an end, but I'm still in denial. Granted, it's easy to be in denial when it's still 98 degrees outside (hence the shorts). Lately, I've been on a shopping spree. I don't know if it's the end of the season that inspired me or what, but I've decided that since I have such a hard time shopping I was going to make a list of 3 things I need to construct a cute outfit. Here was my list:

1) Black every day boots with a heel. I'm not one to wear massive heels all the time, but being short, a little heel that is comfortable and easy to walk in is really nice. Plus, I really believe they make my legs look longer and shapelier. I found these perfect Jeffrey Campbell boots at Wasteland.

2) A bowler hat. A little while ago, my dad was playing a show and asked me to hold his hat for a second, naturally I took a selfie with it and then decided that I wanted a hat like that of my own. I kind of forgot about it and then a couple weeks ago I asked my mom where that hat was and if I could have it and she told me that it was my dad's wedding hat. So I backed off. I made a trip out to Topshop at the Grove and found a hat very similar to my dad's for just $10. I was sold!

3) Lastly, I always need new tops. I had a credit on Nastygal.com, and they always have really cute tops. I was super excited when I found this top with the tie. It could be dressed up or dressed down which is exactly what I needed. I mean pretty much all I own is band tees, so it was about time.

All together I created this outfit. Sometimes I think it makes shopping more fun when you have a list of items to look for. I feel like it gives me more of a purpose, and I get excited when I find the perfect match. What have you been looking for lately?
