On a grunge kick

As the weather gets colder and colder, I get more excited to find winter fall clothes that fit my mood. I am obsession over the grunge look. The slightly glam rock look. Touches of bright colors mixed with deep dark ones. Simple dressed paired with dirty doc marten boots. Flannels, floral patterns, and black leggings. Over sized rock shirts hiding under boyfriend blazers or a leather jacket. Here are some of my favorite looks.

Sketchin

As I do more research on the creation of fashion, I am learning the importance of developing a collection that is unique but still ties well together. I've scanned a few of my recent sketches that follow similar patterns. Full body dresses with pleated details. Each pleat outlines the silhouette of the dress.




D&G Fall ready to wear

I love the rich color schemes and large shapes used for D&G's fall ready to wear line. Full skirts made with tapestry like fabrics mixed in with soft femanine details give each peice a feel of vintage rock n roll glamor.

Fun times at fun, fun, fun fest!

Oh boy is this going to be a long post! I got an amazing opportunity to check out Austin, Texas for the Fun, Fun, Fun Festival. 2 days, 40-50 bands each day. I really loved the setup of the festival. There were 4 stages, each with a different style of music. I stayed near the black stage with all the metal and punk music ;) Here is a little walk through of the weekend.

Strike anywhere

Almost didn't go to the strike anywhere show but really glad I made it!
They put on quite a show.










face to face in PA

Seeing Face to Face play at Mr. Small's Theatre in Pittsburgh, PA was quite a treat. By far one of the best venues I've been too for the size of the show we saw. This place was a 650 capacity performance theatre, which was constructed in a 18th century former catholic church. Rad!

Face to Face, (from Victorville, California) came blazing through with Polar Bear Club(sorry no good pics of them so I didn't post em, great band tho) and Peg Boy, also an early 90's American punk band but from Chicago, Illinois.

Favorite place in Vegas


Ahh the Double Down Saloon. Home of the shot called "ass juice", which was surprisingly really good! A kick ass punk rock bar with plenty of pool tables a playboy pinball machine.
What could be better than that!











Cheers to ass juice!
