1. Big retro "bangs" and high ponytail...not sure if it's retro or Wilma Flinestone? Having fun with it, nonetheless.
2. OPI Black Shatter from the Katy Perry collection...sold out for weeks, I was swindled at Ricky's NYC for $14 for this nailpolish (it sold out the next day)...but, you can find it on amazon.com for about $8. Makes a great topcoat and is extremely fun to layer. I layered mine over a white nailpolish and put a clear glitter over the shatter.
3. Vintage bib/statement necklaces...LOVE these unique pieces that instantly transform a tired, old t-shirt into something far more interesting.
Currently headed to Philadelphia for The Kills and Cold Cave show at the TLA...cue that Bruce Springsteen song, the Rocky steps and the Liberty Bell...oh, and amazing cheesesteak!
(I'm rocking an ancient hand knit sweater from Express (back when they used to make great quality shit), sheer black top from The Limited, black sequin bra from H&M, Diesel black twill pants, and HUGE wedges from Forever 21, prescription Derek Cardigan glasses)
I LOVE Ram Jam's "Black Betty"...it immediately makes me think of that super badass scene in the movie Blow where Johnny Depp is walking down that airport hallway ...and anything that makes me think of Johnny Depp is cool with me.
*Go ahead, shake your ass to this song...I dare you NOT to!*
"If I was a man I'd make my move
If I was a blade I'd shave you smooth
If I was a judge I'd break the law
And if I was from Paris,
if I was from Paris
I would say
oOh La La La La La La"
(I'm rocking a vintage hat from Reminiscence NYC, $18; old Victoria's Secret Pink tank top; Michael Kors pants, $20 Bloomingdales outlet; Consignment shop jacket, $5)
My sincerest apologies, first off, for some technical issues that prevented me from posting as often as I would like. But, without further ado...here we go, bitches!
I KNEW I had to post this ensemble for the simple fact that two homeless men in Hoboken told me that I was "stylin'" and that they liked my outfit. It's nothing but a hodgepodge of some of my favorite items thrown together for this casual Sunday.
So, the creepy sense I got from these nighttime photos made me think of ghosts...and then I thought about Karen Elson's "The Ghost Who Walks" (GENIUS, I know!). Her debut solo effort is rather impressive for someone I merely knew from the catwalk and fashion spreads. This fellow "Jill" of all trades demonstrates her singing and songwriting talents which successfully make a solid effort to escape the shadow of being a supermodel and Mrs. Jack White. I saw her and her band this past October at Irving Plaza and it was, for lack of a better word, very pretty. Her soft voice isn't remarkable but it is damn good, and her stage presence is mesmerizing, almost eerie. The song lyrics are interesting and the insanely awesome coordination of the band members' vintage inspired ensembles were some serious eye candy. Fashion rock it may be, but it's enchanting and I like this folky album when I want to relax from my typically loud and angry rock music choices. Rock on, Karen...and rock on, bitches!
(Below, I'm rocking a Michael Kors hooded leather jacket; Michael Kors sweater, Express snakeskin print leggings; Marc Jacobs aviators, Coach Chuck Taylors; Michael Kors rose gold watch, and a vintage clutch...obviously,if someone were to say, "Olga, who's your daddy??"...the answer would definitely be, "Michael Kors!!")
