I stumbled across the blog this morning to find Ashe’s post about the Tarina Tarantino jewelry at Manhattanite right now. I literally almost jumped out of my seat. Tarina’s baubles are totally fun and I immediately headed to Polyvore to create fun outfits to go with them.
Everything that drew my eye had a psycheldelic-rock chic feel when I paired it up - a little glam rock here, some weekend bohemia there… I mean, hippies are out out, but that tye-dyed bohemian look is still hot when given an ultra-modern twist.
I love the way it looks layered under a blazer or cute bomber jacket, or and it takes on a new flavor with a shredded tee and some killer heels. Check out these modern spins on this psychedelic favorite featuring some of Tarina Tarantino’s arm candy.
Go for that modern glam-rock look; sleek, with a few bright baubles to catch the eye. Always the girl on the go, pick up a svelte little day planner to keep your busy life organized, and hide it in an oversized bohemian-fringed bag. This look has a “saucy artiste” feel, and without being overly pretentious it’s sure to turn heads.
A little more playful and flirty, this look packs a little more punch with a punch-colored bag by C.C. Skye. The leather bomber gives this look a harder edge, but with the sleeves pushed up to a 3/4 length, you’ve got room to adorn yourself. Pick bright lucite bracelets from Tarina Tarantino and this ultra-chic broken mirror bracelet from C.C. Skye. A rolled-up boyfriend jean gives this look a weekend feel - for an afternoon of shopping, or an evening of drinks.
I love that tye-dye look paired with the bright colors of Tarina T’s jewelry. Give a modern edge to your tye-dye to make it wearable in this millennium.
I have always found it difficult to spend money on cut-off shorts. Every time I was faced with the opportunity to purchase a pair I would think to myself “why spend money when I could just make a pair myself.” Then I would leave the store, go home, and perform fashion surgery on a pair of my own jeans. Without fail, I would mess them up. Every single time. Sure I went to college for fashion design and should be able to successfully amputate a pair of jeans, right? Wrong. Apparently.
Every single time I get a little extra cash, I tell myself that I am going to put it towards a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes. Well, that never happens. Either I get smart and decide that I shouldn’t spend hundreds of dollars on shoes or I have to pay one of those pesky bill things.
