3v3ryth!nG CHRISTIAN

I first discovered Christian Louboutin when I was a junior in high school, and from then on my life was forever changed. My interests in fashion, clothing, shoes, accessories, and all of the above began to sore to brand new heights. Before I knew it I was a girl obsessed and I couldn't be happier!



When you find that one thing in life that makes you happier than anything in the world I believe you should pursue that dream and just go with it. Christian Louboutin helped me realize that I was meant to take my love for fashion to the next level and to follow my dream. Heading into college I knew exactly what I wanted to be while many of my fellow classmates were still undecided. Since my junior year I have written countless papers and have done many projects on Christian Louboutin's shoes and impact on my life. What he designs are not just shoes, but an investment to higher living. Once you invest and buy a pair of his shoes you instantly have made  the best decision. You are not only paying to wear the "higher end" brand but you are also paying for the prestige and the wonderful quality of his shoes. On top of it all they are absolutely gorgeous and to die for!!

LEATHER, LEATHER, LEATHER





As I had said before I am completely infatuated with leather and everything surrounding it. My dream is to one day own a pair of leather shorts, a leather skirt, a leather dress, a leather bra, and a pair of leather leggings. I recently purchased a vintage leather blazer from a second hand store that was worth every penny. It came complete with shoulder pads, large silver buttons for show, and an extra set of buttons to button the jacket up. I believe that if you top off any outfit with a leather piece you will look extravagant.

wish list:


 

Punk Rock, Leather, Ripped Jeans, and all of the above




Usually I am not the biggest fan of just plain old jeans. I am very particular about the ones that I put on my body. When it comes to ripped jeans though, I am the biggest fan and I cannot get enough of them. The one pair that I did have recently has been laid to rest which motivated me to make my own pair. One  of the predecessors of ripped jeans are the Ramones and the rest of the punk rockers of the 60's and 70's. I get my influence from these early punk rockers and the jeans that are worn on the runway. On the runway these jeans are taken to the next level, and when they are worn they make heads turn. I have noticed that through out the decades and all of the trends that went with them ripped jeans have never been forgotten. 







Another look that I have gotten really into lately is the "punk rock" look. It is filled with my favorite things from ripped denim to leather everywhere. I have always thought that you can never get enough leather and denim in your life because no matter what you know that both of them will never go out of style. Another thing that I really enjoy about this look is that they would wear all black all the time. At the time this look was extremely controversial because it meant that the teens that were following this trend were rebelling from their parents and society. It began in the early '70s and has been carried through decades by various bands, movies, and trends.
