Burn Out The Day, Burn Out The Night

I can't get over how amazing this is.

Shut Off To The World

Normally I'm not much of a Gaga person. HOWEVER, I really like this picture. I like the dress (?) minus the ugly little "bra" part, I like the headpiece/antlers, I like the lipstick, the hair, and the GLASSES! Love the glasses.

That is all.

Don't Go Around Tonight, Well It's Bound To Take Your Life

Stella and Liv being flawless rock royalty.

I Was Waiting Down At The Ancient Gate

I truly feel like there is no need for me to elaborate much on this post. Navy, black, brown, tan, whatever. Mix plaid with plaid if you make it work. The only rule is to look good doing it.

I will say this, though - I don't think navy should count as a "neutral." I realize this picture isn't true navy, but still - technically speaking, I don't think navy counts as a neutral. But mix neutrals, wear navy, fear not! Whatev's, life's too short to give yourself a migraine when you get dressed.

Gianfranco Ferré Fall 2008

Own it.

This is my favorite! Tanned brown leather with a rustic belt on black. Tooled leather is even better! All the time, this is my favorite.

Similar. Throw in some charcoal. Charcoal/greys + black + brown/tan = outfit GOLD.

Rumi rockin' it. Which brings me on to the open toes with tights. Even this I am just barely starting to get used to myself. It has to be the right tights and the right open toed shoes. None of this crap:

Bleh

And what is this Labor Day of which you speak?

Stomach As Much As Fast As We Are Able

Happy Thanksgiving!

At this point, I'm really just using the pie as a vehicle for whipped cream.

In other news, dug up an old picture: this outfit of MK is one of my favorite outfits of all time, mostly because those shoes are dopplegangers of my FAVORITE pair of heels. Anyway, rad outfit. I love everything about it and it is certainly one of my top cold weather outfit inspirations, although personally, I need a better leather jacket since my H&M one hasn't been cutting it these days...

I Wanna See The Sun Blotted Out From The Sky

First of all, I'd just like to take this moment to point out my long standing sadness over the lack of Heavy Metal Fashion in my life. I miss this blog dearly. No joke, you guys. There's a Heavy Metal Fashion-shaped hole in my heart.

In other news...

Jinx Dawson as inspiration, Part Deux

Here are a collection of 80s-ish pictures where she almost reminds me of Deborah Harry:

The first and last ones are probably my favorites. She's so BA.

You're Number 37, Have A Look

The lovely Miss Coco Rocha for Zac Posen in Fanzine.

Let It Out So It Can Breathe

Loving the Payless boots! :)

Finished my shredded up Raquel Allegra DIY shirt, I think... to the dismay of my roommate. She looked like she thought I should be institutionalized when she saw me working on it

On Her Lawn Spun And Alone

As soon as I saw this Tim Burton photoshoot by Tim Walker online I had to run out and buy the October issue of Harper's Bazaar to see it in person. It is so macabre and dark and crazy and I absolutely love everything about it! Really amazing stuff.

(photo overload ahead)

Simply the best.

Phi-Phy-Pho-Phum

This is Phi being 100% unadulteratedly rawrsome.

{& 100% more awesome than the only title I could come up with at 2 in the morning}

Black, white, nudes, laced-up trousers, BOOTS, sheerness, delicate embellishments, and, most important, the perfect balance of androgynous & sexy without being over the top... Difficult to achieve, but I think it was pulled off very nicely here. These pieces all mix well and could integrate into pretty much any wardrobe. Very versatile. Plus, you can apparently style this stuff so that you look like you just joined a fashion army or something.

In A Neutrals Mood

I've been really busy lately with the first week of classes, so for now I'll just leave you with this outfit I liked from Stockholm Street Style a few days ago. I liked her hooded scarf/shawl thing she had going on over here.

More Things I Lykke

Lykke Li at Lollapalooza... Lovely! [Holy alliteration, Bat Man!] Can't say I'm a fan or anything, but she certainly knows how to dress. Love the drapey business, love the ripped tights/shorts. Reminds me of the following photo, which I have always really liked.

QUEEN OF HARTS

[Warning: photo overload to follow!] I am OBSESSED with Horehound from the Dead Weather right now. It is giving me faith in the music industry in the midst of douchebags currently dominating the Top 40s, radio, etc. Also horrified to discover that my beloved KRTH 101.1 has been playing Madonna and the Eurythmics! (This is an oldies station. what the crap?)

The Dead Weather is Jack White, Alison Mosshart, Dean Fertita (QotSA), and Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs). You probably are already familiar with Alison Mosshart from the Kills, but I must emphasize her awesomeness. She's my own personal Erin Wasson of the moment. She's making want to go out and die my hair black and trade in all my clothes for LEATHAAA!

DON'T SMOKE KIDS! :)

Also, if you haven't seen this yet, you really should. And if you've already seen it, watch it again!
