Biker Jackets 101

If there is one item that should, not only be a staple, but an absolute must-have in everybody's wardrobe - it is a leather (pleather, duh) jacket. 

As far as my personal prefence goes, the more studs, spikes, and patches the better. Customising your own 'punk' jacket is fun, therapeutic, rewarding, and a billion times cheaper than walking into a shop and paying through the nose for something that someone else has made. 

Customised jackets should be like fingerprints - totally unique to the person wearing them.

Hunt around in your local thrift/charity shops, and you should be able to pick up a plain leather jacket nice & cheap just waiting to be studded and spiked to within an inch of it's life. 
I just picked one up recently for dirt cheap - it's oversized, distressed, and black pleather and I'm planning to add fringing to the sleeve (a la the one below), and cover the back with a giant Slayer or Led Zeppelin patch - I'll keep you posted with progress pics.

Fashion Icon: Axl Rose

Here it is, I've finally given into the pressure of starting a fashion blog - eek!
Now, I am by no means a fashion expert, icon, or devotee BUT I know what I like, and I guess it's about time y'all knew what I liked too... So welcome, and enjoy!


Nearly all of my fashion icons are men! Shock! Horror! A woman taking fashion tips from a man - well, when they dress as good as these dudes you can bet your bottom dollar I do...

Mr. Axl Rose
Boy, does this guy know how to dress - whether it's so-tight-they-look-sprayed-on Americana print leggings, big sunglasses, leather jackets or nothing but a tiny pair of demin hotpants he looked sensational!
Sleeveless tank tops are a must in every humans wardrobe! Customise with awesome tats, and a buttloadof chunky, studdy, spikey jewellery and you'll be the coolest guy/gal around. 

My personal favourite thing in the world is skin-tight leather pants/leggings/trousers and I only have Mr. Rose to thank for that. He certainly worked them to within an inch of his crotch/life! 
Pair them with a baggy, off the shoulder, band tee and you will be ready to rock the face off the place.
Hobo chic?! -->

I do love a good hat - beanies are kinda boring and overdone, but throw on an Americana police style hat and you will score some serious cool points a la Mr Guns N' Roses himself.
Ladies, and Gentleman this is a totally unisex look and looks killer no matter where you are or what you're doing - give it a go.

Who needs clothes anyway? The more flesh on show the better!
Only the brave should try this - but I'm pretty sure this a sure fire way to get attention on your next night out in your local bar! Werk it.
