How to be a ROCKSTAR

How to be a Rockstar. Don't know how to sing? Either do I..but that doesn't mean you can't still rock!

1. Invest in a vest. Whether it's got cut off sleeves, is studded out, or is made of glitter layering a vest over a plain T is the perfect and effortless rocker vibe. Here I am wearing a Levi's vest with metal gromets a remake from a vintage store layered over the top of an old navy tank.

2. Gem out. Cover your wrists in gems. Leather cuffs, unique watches...etc. Here I am wearing my fav leather cuff from QVC (thanks mom) with a few bracelets from tibetan jewelry stores and watch second hand from Buffalo Exchange.

3. Sleep in Glitter. Glitter will be your new best friend. But make sure it's not the cheesey super flash kind. Look at vintage shops for older glitter tops...or rock my glitter leggings :) Glitter in small amounts is ok! Here I am rocking my glitter leggings with a Miss Gustto bag.

4. Ring thing. Wear tons of crazy rings. It doesn't matter if they don't really match...layer a few smaller ones together...make it look like you could pick a tough fight. My claw ring below is possibly one of the coolest rings I have owned!! (Estelle + Rachel Roy $40 online). My studded cross double finger ring is also another fav :)

The most imporant part to pulling off the rocker look is you just gotta roll outa bed and put the first outfit you find on...don't think too hard and remember, if it looks too obvious the whole "I don't really care, I'm a rockstar" thing won't work.

You don't gotta know how to sing to know how to rock!

Oh for the love of STRIPES :)

So, to add to my collection of slippery subway grates I made a pretty simple but yet cool and trendy skirt. The skirt is pretty basic but the cool thing about it is one side has horizontal stripes and the other side has verticle stripes. Since the skirt is made out of a spandex it doesnt matter how you wear it: frontward, backward, sideward. You could wear this dress everyday a different way and it will look like a different skirt! Cool right?

Also over the weekend I made a cool one shoulder dress out of the same fabric. The one shoulder has a cap sleeve in the fun stripe fabric to match the slanted lines in the skirt. The top of the dress is all black with a cute hot pink mesh insert. The dress is made out of very fun punky/rocker style fabrics but its a very classic silhouette making this a fun dress but also work appropriate :) This dress is possibly one of my favorites yet...inspired slightly by my final collection from college...with some similarities in the design just different fabrics. Below in one photo I have it worn with a blazer and the second shows the cute little sleeve :)
