Psychedelic Chic

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.

Rocker Chic Staple: Leather Jacket

Rocker chic is pretty much the look to have for fall 2009. Its also the most fun (in my opinion.) I mean, don’t we all secretly want to be rock stars? I know I do, shame I wasn’t blessed with any musical talent. Seriously, I never even mastered the recorder (you know that ghetto little flute thing?) back in elementary school. What I have mastered, however, is the rocker chic look. I have been rocking combat boots, leather and spikes for ages now — so glad the rest of world has finally caught up.

A great way to get the look with one easy piece is through a leather jacket. You can throw a leather jacket on with virtually anything in your closet. The end result will be effortlessly chic.

The jacket that I am currently lusting after is by KRMA. It the Dean Leather jacket and it will set you back $600 — not bad for a classic and cool piece. In fact, this piece is so cool that our favorite pop rocker, Pink has one.
