Rock & Roll Queen


 Here's a short outfit post showcasing how I tend to dress in my daily life. Today, I was running errands like crazy! Though daily activities may seem daunting and mundane, just by adding a little animal print, you're ready to take on the day. This song is on one of my driving playlists, which also gets me going ;).




"You are the sun,
You are the only one,
My heart is blue,
My heart is blue for you"


(I'm rocking a mens Hanes tank, Forever 21 pencil skirt, Express studded belt, mens H&M leather cuff, and Minnetonka moccasin booties)


Be myyyyy,

be myyyyy,

BE MY LITTLE ROCK & ROLL QUEEN


(Love this song by The Subways...SO fun! I especially heart it when he lets out that rock and roll screammmmmm)

Ugly Black Betty





(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.

Ghost Who Walks

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!!")




"The ghost who walks 
she's on the prowl
 for the man she loved, 
 he cut her down "
