Glam Grunge

Who would have thought long frumpy plaid skirts would be considered hot?!
This is why I love fashion, it cracks me up. This is one of those outfits I'm sure I'll cringe at 10 years down the road, but right now I absolutely love it. Paired with my beanie & muscle tank this look is very grunge, but I threw some heels in the mix to give it a more sleek and feminine vibe.

moto bb

It's been absolutely freezing in LA the past week! I've been wearing this super warm leather jacket almost every day. I was looking for a good leather moto jacket for awhile before I found this guy. I'm a sucker for real leather but of course that tends to be pretty expensive. I was so excited to find this jacket at cross roads for $35! Actual leather & new with tags. Resale shopping ftw! And I'm sure as you know it's been all about black on black on black this fall, I can't get enough.

Black on Black

A huge trend this fall & winter is all black erry' thang! I used to hate too much black but lately I can't get enough. Here I'm wearing a loose basic black tee, high waisted shorts with tights, and a denim jacket. Wearing tights with shorts or skirts is a great and cozy look for these colder months.

Studs & Socks

So it's been awhile since I've done a post. It's just been so busy, but I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. I've been on the hunt for a good pair of full-length overalls but keep getting short ones or dresses! I feel in love as soon as I tried this dress on. I'm a sucker for studs. It's by this really cool brand called Ragged Priest. I paired it with this black beanie & my new favorite accessory, long socks! I'm going to be rocking them all fall I've decided. Such an easy way to take an outfit to the next level.

Red Hot Pants

Every girls needs a pair of pants that scream "Look at my legs!!!". These are my red hot pants.

Now time to brag a bit about my extreme thriftiness!  

The pants are Ralph Lauren but I snagged them at buffalo exchange for $17.

The top is a super old school lucky brand denim button up with embroidered flower detail. Got this at a thrift shop for like $5. So funny how brands go in and out. I used to LOVE Lucky Jeans. now they are just kinda "meh". I feel like they waited to long to join the skinny jeans trend to stay true to the 70's flared look, and that didn't do so well for them. But despite that I adore this quirky top!

The shoes are Boutique 9. They originally retailed for $160 but I spotted them on clearance at ross for $20! And on top of that I got an additional discount for saying they looked worn (which was obviously the intentional style haha, so cheating). Ended up getting these bad boys for $15.

If i wasn't such a deal hunter I could not afford my shopping lifestyle!

Girly Meets Edgy

___________________________

Oh how I love Mullet skirts, feminine & funky. 

Lately I have been obsessed with a "girly meets edgy" style,

I think this outfit is a good example of that.

This next week I will be on a work trip in Las Vegas for Magic Trade show.  One of the words biggest fashion trade shows. I'm so excited! I'm being sent there to gather inspiration for my designs. I get to take a sneak peak into what is going to be hot the next couple seasons. I'm going to try and secretly snap a few shots and share what I saw with you guys :)
