The spring fashion trend with undeniable sultry swagger is rock'n'rolla. With Coachella and Sasquatch musical festivals on the hot-red horizon girls are flocking to vintage band tees and mega-shredded denim cut-offs. Tops for this trend require a bikini or lace bandeau as armholes and necklines are cut dangerously low. Look to tattoo temptress Kat Von D to polish peek-a-boo perfection. Satisfy your scandalously short-shorts with long lace vests and hide salty dancing hair with large brim fedoras like Indiana Jones did. Get camouflaged. This print is disguising tees, tanks, jackets, dresses and leggings, then lanket yourself in navaho print flowing wraps for sunsets and snuggles. Last year I packed fringe everything (bikini, skirt, shorts, dress) to Sasquatch, and I will definitely be doing it again. There is nothing like a little flapper fringe to add easy swagger while moving up and down and all around to your favourite beats under the sun, moon, and stars. Speaking of planets, VICE mag says to get your closet galactic. Milky Way prints are everywhere from t-shirts to tunics to bring out your universal cool. Go on a hunt for items with wolves, lions, tigers, and cobras. I have always encouraged the feminine hardcore of exterior wildcat and inner kitten. Finish off your lead-singer look with jewelry shaped into eagles, talons, feathers, snakes, skulls, faux-beast teeth, and of course sacred crystals. Experiment with bandito or suede headbands, knotting up t-shirts to add shapes, and stick your wallet and phone into your dancing boots instead of a purse. We have a few of these rock'n'rolla looks featuring brands like Insight, RVCA, and The Classic in the STYLE section of this website. As Mick Jagger of the Stones so raucously put it "I said I know it's only rock 'n roll but I like it, yes, I do."

It has been a long time since I typed about fashion trends but that does not make my constant opinions and celebrations of style any less relevant. Every single one of my days for the past decade has spent gloriously in and around fashion at my shop, nose deep in catalogues, or planted on my kitchen stool eyes deep in fashion rich sites. I regularly go on buying trips six months before the clothes hit the retail floor so I have to force myself to look into the crystal ball of fashion future. Assisting my decisions comes in the form of intense magazine scrutiny, feisty customer and employee opinion, fierce competitors, and pop-culture inspection. Inspiration often comes as easily as seeing a picture of a Hollywood starlet making her way through LAX en-route to or from a fabulous destination. Those are the clothes our girl wears, the quick and unintentionally glamorous but totally planned throw- togethers. The Blonde girl is Blake Lively’s character “O” in Oliver Stones latest film “Savages.” Whether she is staring at the surf break to actually rip the barrel or just check out wave rider talent, her style is boho beach bombshell. Our girl can rock sky-high pumps and a body-con dress but can also lead the pack down a snowy powder descent with game-on grace. Closet no-brainers include fringe trim black booties, floral print chiffon, navaho print minis, faux-leather leggings, Indiana jones hats, and a black sequins blazer to throw over a favorite rock tee with actual cigarette burn-holes. If you are into less talk more rock then check out the constantly updated pictures at the STYLE tab on this site. I have taken to setting up a camera timer to snap and edit myself in Blonde’s diverse spring 2013 vibes.
