rockST*R Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless is currently on their fall tour in the U.S. and they were recently here in Tempe, AZ performing at the Marquee Theater. The show was amazing, with Taylor Momsen loving on the stage and her bandmates. This is why I decided she was going to be my first rockST*R of the blog.

If you aren’t familiar with the raw rock ‘n roll music of The Pretty Reckless, I recommend you check out their newest single, Going To Hell. The leather-clad singer seduces her audience in the video with her blonde locks, her heavy-duty makeup, and the skin-tight jumpsuit. However, I want to take a look at how she dresses when she’s not playing with snakes in music videos with nearly 10 million views.

Every time I see  a picture or video of Momsen, she always seems to be wearing the color black. Even when I saw her perform in person, she was wearing an all-black ensemble. Not that I have a problem with the color black, in fact it’s very edgy and rock ‘n roll. That’s probably why she prefers it.

With her black, edgy pieces, how is it possible to take her look and turn it into a fashion statement? Let me show you some examples that I have put together.

Momsen loves her black, her boots, her giant sunglasses, and her crosses; or at least that’s what it seems. These are things I incorporated when creating these styles on Polyvore.

Have any other ideas for Momsen-inspired outfits? What do you think of her fashion and her out-there attitude?

Silhouette Alert

I have been seeing a new silhouette all over the place on celebrities recently. It looks like a modern extreme take on the hourglass figure and is almost like an optical illusion, making the waist look smaller. This is done by amplifying the shape of the bust and the hips in comparison to the waist. What do you guys think of this new trend? Will it catch on and become mass produced at some point?

Dear Readers,

Happy Tuesday! Today is about 39 degrees and the day before a snowstorm is supposed to hit Flagstaff. However, Spring is still somewhat right around the corner. Lately, I’ve been in a very minty mood, wanting to wear any sort of mint every day. Unfortunately, I don’t have much mint. But, I found this awesome scarf and decided I had to wear it today with this outfit. So, without further ado, this is today’s outfit:

Ross blouse; Payless scarf; Rue21 jeans

This outfit will have an addition of a leather jacket I purchased from Charlotte Russe (not pictured) when I leave for class in a little bit. I’m very excited about this outfit and can’t wait to wear it out.

What’s the weather like in your region? How are you dressed for it?

Let’s Add a Leather Jacket to This ‘ish

Dear Readers,

Now that fall is right around the corner, I’m sure we are all beginning that search for that perfect jacket to compliment each outfit. Let me take the time to bring up leather jackets.

About a decade ago, I remember my mom getting me a leather jacket for my birthday. I told her I liked it, but I honestly wasn’t a big fan. The poor fabric stayed in the back of my closet for many years before I finally decided to get rid of it. However, they are now coming back into style, and this time I may follow along.

Now of course, it has to be just the right leather (faux or real) jacket. Some make my already super-broad shoulders even more so, which is something I’m wanting to stay away from. However, I like the idea of a leather jacket because I feel it can easily add a rocker-chic look to any outfit. Now if we take my suggestions from my Studs post, I would jump at the idea of having patches of studs and spikes added on as well. Let me show you what I mean.

Imagine that look with a dark maroon tank top and a pair of jeans. Sounds amazing for the winter, doesn’t it?

Thanks,
Ash
