The Black Keys Concert

She is totally gorgeous and I love love her purple jeans, this is what smart girls do when blue jeans are no longer rebellious enough. Hot shoes too and a great smile - good pic.

Pointy shoes are so back, love her black jeans (total staple) and with the sharp stiletto she is very fashion forward. I like her hat too she said she got it in Europe at H&M or something like that, she has that whole professional hippie vibe don't you think? Like luxurious boho.

He has fashionable facial hair, I have been trying to make the judgement on whether facial hair is fashion for a while now and I have just decided that it is so I can put this guy on, he is alterna rocker dude. I think he actually worked at the Meridian.


Sorry this is blurry, it shows off the outfit that my favorite Black Key was wearing. He and I were wearing the exact same thing it was really weird. Snap front shirts and dark denim has such a casual and still put together vibe because of the darkness of the jeans, if they were light it would be sloppy.

Austin City Limits - Festival Fashion

I'll pretend she was walking to the fest, but I actually think she might have just been shopping on Congress, that is what her outfit says. I would have to laugh at anyone wearing an eyelet dress to the dustiest dirtiest event ever. Great chic thong sandals and I love a mini dress with pockets.

She was on Congress too, she looks so good because her look is so simple. I am normally opposed to long dresses that don't hit the ground, but this would have to count as a midi length which is a hard one to get right, super props to you casual dress girl.

Isn't he great, he was trying to encourage people to register but everyone was just ignoring him. I don't know why I think this outfit is so perfect, the jean shorts are just right and I never thought I would say that about a guy in rolled up cutoffs. The boat shoes and the hat and the white tee just have this easygoing air that he wears so well.

A crochet dress is such a faux pas waiting to happen but I like this one for some reason. Maybe it is the neutral color with rainbow, I don't know but it works. The only thing is the length is a little off and makes her have kankles, a little shorter or all the way to the floor would be better - you know that would be so heavy though.

Nice hat, why doesn't she look like a joke? Because it was so freakin hot and shes got an innovative yet still classic way to keep a cool head. Hate that dress though, ew.

These cute girls in cute dresses are so cool with their giant beers. I love the dresses though seriously, I think they must be vintage. Cute girls in cute dresses should be the theme of this blog.

See what I mean, cute girls in cute dresses with beers everywhere. I wish I had worn her Mexican dress rather than my favorite jeans which turned out to be so ridiculously hot and along with my thonged feet got so efing dirty and gross.

Like the white dress the best, had to chase her down and then couldn't get her alone. I think the dress is some kind of chiffon, its hard to tell but it was very floaty and airy and light and sort of shimmered in the sun. and with the boots it is more than perfect, like a fairy.

Cooler girls were wearing rompers instead of dresses. You have got to be young and whip thin to get away with this, and it may be important to have a good strapless bra that you don't mind wearing for hours. But who can blame her for neglecting to wear a bra at a seriously hippiefied festival, not me. I also like her white leather flip flops and golden aviators, and her hair was super perfect in real life.

See how cool a romper can be if you are four feet tall and 80lbs? I have those hot red Ray Bans and I love them because they match my Barbie Car. This is a great lightweight denim shorty romper and the yellow gladiators just punch the whole outfit up a notch. Can't forget that sexy Gucci bag, she is one of my favorite youngsters that I caught that day.

I almost don't know what to say. He is supremely brave, I did not get the feeling that he was gay, just too hip to wear real clothes. I am sure both of these pieces came from different vintage or secondhand shops around Austin. I love that he is able to pull this off because quite frankly no one should go out of the house like this, especially guys. I think it must be the whole festival vibe that makes him look so cool, you can't see but he was wearing these little sparkly double cherry stud earrings too.

This girl must be 14, but she is totally rocking that bandanna and those matching hot pink wish-we-were-Ray-Bans that absolutely everyone had on. Ugh those shorts, but they match so its cool, shes too young to be held accountable for wearing disposable non-fashion.

Boys in pink tees are cool, I am a freak for pink tees so you understand why I had to put this guy up. Only real men wear pink on purpose, especially with black my favorite color combo, but what are those hideous things on his feet - just ignore those if you can.

Isn't she the chicest girl in the world, everyone wishes they looked this good in the midst of a dirty hot festival. The mini dress is not too mini, her hat says that she wants to protect fragile face skin from the harsh sun. Keeping cool while looking good is an art and she is a master, and those gladiators are just the crowning flourish that give her an extra fashionable edge.

This probably isn't really fashion because she is wearing those horrible Nike shorts that everyone has, but I'll excuse her this once just because of her sweet shades, cute hippie headband and chic snakeskin gladiator sandals.

This guy is very rock, my favorite look but he is wearing designer too...I love his black and gray color palatte which I know he did purposely to match his tattoos.

Blue jeans do not change the palette, they are a neutral and so are those hot boots. he just looks smashing and I wish I had caught him with his boots on and the jeans rolled down, I wonder if he wore them tucked in or out of the boots. I think True Religions look so much better on boys than on girls, the giant stitching is too overwhelming on a chick. Don't blame him for taking his shoes off though it was about a zillion degrees in the thick of that crowd.

Oh my God I am obsessed with this group, not only were they the hardest rocking stars out there but they are so stylish I want to cry. I am obsessed with this girl, I want to be her. I know she wears those golden boots every single day because every time I see her in an interview she is wearing them and she talks about them every once in awhile.

My rock star idol! I would seriously kill to meet her, I bet she has the fiercest attitude too which only seems to turn me on more.

House of Blues Grand Opening part 2

This is my favorite look of the night, Amand Mills you are a superstar dresser and I want to raid your closet. The boots are Louboutins and to die for, that dress is leather fringe and actually inspired my own Halloween costume and I have had my own little eye on that Alexander Wang clutch in black for months. Of course now I will find a differant one because I am no copycat, but I am not even resentful which I would usually be, I just admire her skills. This cannot be taught, its god given and baby is she blessed.

He is soo chic, black tee and dark skinney jeans are never failing but what really stands out to me is his kerchief wound around his neck. I bet you that is his sweat catcher or something, doesn't he look like he could be a chic roadie for the Blues Brothers?

Jenny! She is so cute, everytime I see her she turns it out in her own way. i am so jealos of that giant camera, she is a real live photographer after all. She has a boho vibe but is still sophisticated and clean cut, I love a simple and perfect look.

Heres Jenny from the back, love this long sheer duster which I am sure is either vintage or meant to be worn some other way, as a dress maybe. It really adds pop to this jeans and a white tee outfit, and those boots are so sexy from the back just peeking out from underneath.

This woman looks good but I am so not impressed. Every piece she is wearing (except her fabulous jewelry, which I want) is from the Gucci Fall/Winter 2008 runway. She should have known someone would recognize her scam, does she not know that wearing a head to toe runway look is so not done! I wish she would get a little more creative instead of spending so hard because any one of these pieces would seriously make more of an impact alone and mixed with other normal stuff. I could go on...

This is the bottom half of the Gucci clone, these boots are so fabulous they deserve to be the star of the outfit, instead they are competing with the top and the pants and the belt. Even her bag was from this collection and I am totally not recommending this method of dressing to anyone. Think about it look in the mirror alot, you can come up with something that is not a copy of another persons concept.

She is gorgeous and her outfit makes a great impression. The shoes are the it item here and I would so wear these too, I asked her where she got them and she wouldn't tell so to me that means they were cheap and she was embarassed but she shouldn't be. No one but me can tell that they cost a little not a lot and they are so perfect for this dress, A+ to you monet girl.

These are Stuart Weitzman don't you love them? I do backflips for a perfectly formed bootie, I have never worn SW but I have heard only good good things like he is so comfortable, his shoes last forever, they are quality beautifully made shoes so don't turn your nose up at him you silly designer whores.

I am still on the fence with this leopard, its almost a good print but not quite. So you see what I mean when I say that leopard print must be done right, there is no definition of good leopard its just a color and shape judgement everyone has to make and not just any brown animal print can be fashion. Leopard walks that superfine line between being just a little racy or being trashy, so look for that indefinable quality in your leopards and if you are in doubt just skip it. Now zebra is a differant story...

These are the leopard girls shoes, another faux pas. Do not wear two animal print pieces together ever, I don't care who you are. Fashion is not about matching, it is about melting quality pieces into one another to create a whole. If you are wearing a print, any print, keep all other pieces solid or neutral.

She is so rockn'roll sex kitten, look at that gorgeous bedhead and those layers are killin it. I just wish she had chosen a sleek black clutch instead of this hideous silver eyesore bag that you can see below.

Here is another pair of those now ubiquitous liquid latex leggings, now that we all have a pair they are not as exciting but I do love love love these over the knee boots. Its so hot to pass the knee for some reason, I think it has to do with thigh highs..who knows these are so hot though I want them, please let me know where they are from if you know!

House of Blues Grand Opening

will continue in another blog b/c this one is already full...

When purple and black attack good things are bound to happen.  I know she made an investment in these statement makers, I am almost positive they are Miu Miu.

Nice LBD, great look.  Not much to say about a smiley girl in a little black dress I think it totally speaks for itself. 

Nice boots, have the feeling I've seen these somewhere before.  They look so perfectly broken in, like she has been wearing them for ten years. 

I am such a sucker for an exotic skin, I don't care if its fake or not.  Love this clutch it goes everywhere with everything because of the neutral color palatte.

My mother never let me go to hoppin' parties like this one when I was in middle school!  love those earrings, costume jewelry never looked so good.

She is breaking the mold in all bright white after Labor Day which as we all know is against "the rules" but I think rules are made to be broken, especially in such a modern and hip town like this one.   she is a do with a skirt this short b/c she is fourteen, otherwise minis so short they need shorts underneath are a do not attempt, unless you are wearing tights of course or have amazing goddess legs to go with - no thongs tho please. 

Dying for these golden accessories, Cartier Love bracelet, gorgeous huge cuff and a David Yurman ring with a cool vintagey watch, and that clutch!  to die for, seriously I hated her outfit but her wrists are incredible.

Cute girl in a cute dress, my favorite combination.  and I love her clutch, the green is so unexpected and fresh.
