Rockin' Weekend

Rayban Aviator sunglasses, H&M military blazer (old), Loft short sleeved black button up shirt (old), True Religion jeans, PS1 bag in Saddle, Banana Republic skinny belt, Love Culture bracelet (worn as choker)

I recently bought this stretchy skinny belt from Banana Republic.  When I saw it on the mannequin at the store, I fell in love with it at first sight, but it was almost $40, so I patiently waited until they had a sale.  My wait paid off, and I basically began pairing this belt with everything I was wearing.  I have yet to find something that doesn't go with this belt, and I'm thinking about getting another one in black.

I bought the medium size in Oxblood (kinda scary name isn't it?), or brown.  I had to go to two different Banana Republic stores in order to score one since they seemed to be going fast.  The reason why I bought the medium was because I wanted the belt to go around my hips.  If I wanted the belt to go around my waist, I would have needed the small.

After putting on my button up black shirt, jeans, and belt, I thought I looked a little too casual Friday office ready (and hey, it's the weekend!), so I grabbed my bracelet and used it as a choker.  It was a little bit chilly today too, so I grabbed this military style jacket that has just been sitting in my closet.  Et voila!  My rocker chic look is born!

I highly recommend this belt, plus there's a 30% discount currently going on at Banana Republic.  Check it out in stores!  ^_^

H&M The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I've been lusting after H&M's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo collection, especially these two pieces above.  However, the collection sold out like hotcakes before I could nab them.  I know that some people have been putting this collection on ebay, and this leather jacket is selling upwards of $300.  Oh well.  A lesson learned.  Next time, I would recommend going to sites like Suddenlee to do your shopping for you.  I'll do a review on this site later.

Regardless, here's some pictures of the clothing line for inspiration:

Leather, distressed/torn clothes, hoodies, and combat boots are the key to this look.  Dark eye makeup and edgy accessories complete it.

H&M Paris Mon Amour

 Paris.  The height of fashion and food.  My two favorite subjects.  What more can anyone ask for?

The reason why I still keep this old copy of H&M Magazine Autumn 2009 is because of the pictures below.

Berets and gold chains and hoops make this look.  A thick wool beret can keep you surprising warm (if not you, then your head).  Make sure your beret fits snugly on your head, so the wind won't blow it away.  Add on some black boots, and you should be covered from head to toe.  As for your clothes, I would keep it classic with black lace and a nice coat or jacket.
