Strap Me Up and Strap Me Sexy

I absolutely adore fashion harnesses. You see them around a little when you follow fashion, but it is a trend that has not entirely caught on for the masses. I believe this is because this look can go really goth really fast, it can be overly sexualized if you don't down play the harness with your clothing articles. The trick seems to be pairing the harness with feminine, soft and flowing fabrics or more casual and comfortable pieces.

Love her look because I love her hair! But she made the cut on this entry because she is wearing a very simple harness. She pairs this with some feminine pieces with that rocker edge that clearly... I adore!

Stud Muffin

I love to dress feminine and add rocker chic details that make people think, that keep me from being pigeon holed into one type of person and that keep me in touch with my rocker roots. Keeping these rocker details reminds me of where I came from, who I was and how much my rocker style inspired be to become interested in fashion in the first place. In the 90's it was all about having items with a story, pieces that were unusual and mostly home made, only then were you "original". And so, I can't help but wear one of my studded bracelets every time I dress up for a night out on the town, and for me, they go with everything. Cheers to keeping in touch with the roots that inspired you from the beginning!
