CHRONICLES OF NEVER-ONCE AROUND THE MOON

 

These gorgeous ankle boots are from one of my favorite brands, Chronicles of Never.  These white painted leather boots are a contemporary take on the classic and are done perfectly! The rough white along with the classic shape and paneled sides give this boot a distinct edginess and are perfect for fashion's young trendsetters. These retail for $350 and also come in rough black leather. I much prefer the white!! Check out some of there other items if you are looking for a contemporary line that weighs heavily on geometric patters and scientific methods!

NEW FAV TREND-SPIKES AND STUD A.K.A ROCKER CHIC!

Ever since Lady Gaga emerged as a major force in music she has translated her fame in the fashion industry. For a long time fashion lacked chic pieces that are also seen as grungy. Stores such as Bess and OAK in NYC are great places to find garments specific to this trend. Mixing these fashion forward rocker inspired designs can spice up any outfit and get you noticed! Needless to say even classic designers like Burberry are partaking in this trend...

From the Burberry Porosum collection in 2008. This has to be my favorite cuff ever made...you could kill someone while wearing this! Made out of nickel, this cuff is probably as painful as it looks.

These are just two of my favorite cuffs from burberry. Below, is a completely studded cuff in silver and above  is a simple black and silver cuff with raised studs. These could be paired together for a more "hardcore" look or can  be worn separately for a sophisticated edge. Burberry has stuck to its roots but with an added edge they have taken the label to another level! Also above is a studded leather jacket from one of my favorite stores in soho, Bess! This jacket is vintage and full on studded and of the upmost quality. for around $2,000 you can pick one up on Lafayette Street.
