I Used To Be Punk Rock – Style Post

March 4, 2015

Ever since I started writing this blog I knew I wanted to create style and fashion posts. But for me, photographing myself is not the easiest thing to do. (Unless you’re Heather Wyancko she makes it look like a piece-a-cake!) After returning from Alt Summit, I knew I need to make this style thing happen, so I searched and searched for just the right photographer and finally found Hallie Duesenberg. She shoots Amelia over at The CHICago Life. Hallie was going to be my girl whether she liked it or not. She has also shot my favorite band PHOX…yep, sold!

Lucky for her me, she agreed right away, and I didn’t have to resort to threats. But with this crazy cold Chicago weather, we needed a location inside because I didn’t want to freeze. Hallie found this amazing restaurant and cocktail lounge called Presidio. And let me tell you, if you’re ever in the Chicago area, check this place out. Its decor is industrial slash mid-century slash chic slash just plain rad. I was dying over the decor as soon as I walked in the door. Hallie said when she saw it, she knew it was right up my alley.

I Used To Be Punk Rock Style and Fashion post

Basically, I live in t-shirt and jeans on the daily, so I paired my favorite I Used To Be Punk Rock t-shirt with my favorite distressed jeans. I love boyfriend jeans, but I have to be careful with my larger lower half. After babies, let’s just say, I’m all about that bass. The boyfriend cut is a bit oversized, but I like the relaxed feel, so I always size down. Besides, automatically losing a pant size in the morning just makes me feel better about myself. I know it’s just a number, but I still smile when I see it. It’s the little things.

I Used To Be Punk Rock Style and Fashion post

I love this black moto jacket because it has a rocker look and feel, but let me tell you, this leather is soft like butter. The I Used To Be Punk Rock t-shirt hits just below the hip which allows for a bit of a tuck in the front. The belt is by Madewell and appropriately named The Perfect Leather Belt…I have to say it’s one of my favorites. It’s received a lot of wear. The leopard print wedge shoes are by J.Crew and are unfortunately no longer available, but the ballet flats have a few sizes left. I’m a fan of the wedge heel because they don’t hurt my feet as badly as other hells. There are other wedge styles to shop here.

Wanna see those accessories? The clutch is from Lauren Merkin. And I swear, I carry it everywhere. But bracelets, man those are my thing. I love a good stack, so I’m going to show you each side cuz that’s how I roll.

The “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” bracelet is by Kate Spade. She no longer makes it, but I did manage to find a couple on eBay. The gold bangles are from J.Crew and are no longer available. And yep, that is an old-school gold digital Casio watch. Nail polish is OPI Dutch Tulips. And finally, I get asked quite often where my glasses are from. They are by Oliver Peoples.

    LOVE IT ALL! What frustrates me is seeing a great outfit (like this) and giving it a go — then laughing so hard I start to cry because it looks so incredibly ridiculous on me. #truestory

      Ha! I seriously am the same way, but lately I’ve been taking one item in my closet that I don’t know what to do with and searching it in Pinterest. Like plaid shirt outfits…It’s amazing all the fun ideas that come up!

    As a diehard Beastie Boys fan—I am flipping over the “no sleep to Brooklyn” bracelets. I am jealous and crying just a little–ok maybe a lot because I wish I had them!!

      Search eBay! There were quite a few on there. I bought mine when it first came out as pre-order and had to wait like 5 months for it to show up. It killed me! And then it was still on the site until a few months ago. Best bracelet ever!

      I HAD to have it. It was more than I ever would normally spend and I sat and thought about it for like 2 weeks before I finally pulled the trigger. Had to do it.

I started decorating Zozo’s bedroom but never finished. Since, she’s decided she no longer likes pink. “Mom, can I get a blue bed?” @jcpenney helped me find a comprise that was not only blue but also affordable and very much this little lady’s bohemian’s style. The bedding and pillows are all from the new Distant Lands Collection. She’s obsessed with the tiger print pillow and the tassels. Side note, she is not a top sheet gal which I’ve been hearing more and more people talk about this. Do you sleep with a top sheet or no? Inquiring minds what to know. SPONSORED

SWIPE 👆🏻 Finally loving the living room again. Although I’m still missing the built ins. I shopped the @serenaandlily sale for that tray and blanket - there’s a whole round up of favorites over on HouseOfHipsters.com - and I love how the blanket balances out the green chair and the tray softens the black coffee table. What do you think of the new look? #liketkit #LTKhome #LTKsalealert @shop.ltk https://liketk.it/3G7VE
