Angel Wings






I talk a lot about how often I'm inspired by my sister Maura. She has a keen eye for fashion and I honestly fail miserably at shopping without her. She knows what works and has a vision before she ever puts the clothes on her body. It's quite the gift.

I love this outfit on so many levels. First, winter white, especially as a pretty dress. I also love that she mixes it with an oversized sweater and dark chunky shoes. My favorite part is the socks. It would be so safe to wear a pair of black tights but I think the over-the-knee socks take it to a whole different level.

Skeleton Sisters






When SkeletonArmour began, the idea was to share a constant and ever-changing view of fashion and all of the things that inspire us creatively. For me, my sisters are my biggest inspiration and my co-conspirators. They are the most wonderful, honest, and beautiful people I know. Each is an artist in her own right and fashion is only one of the ways they exude their creativity. In recent weeks, I've spent lots of time with them and I've taken lots of pictures. So, I'm going to dedicate my next few posts to showing off how awesome these girls really are.

Caroline does an awesome job making any outfit look effortless...and it helps that she's a mere wisp of a human being. I love this outfit because of all the contrast. A tailored blazer with a ripped up sweater and flannel give this look an edge. I also love the mix of brown and black tones and the use of accessories to give it a rocker chic vibe. Not to mention those pretty blue eyes!

Mouth of Fire







This weekend was the first snow in the city since Halloween and for a brief moment in time it was a winter wonderland...obviously it's now gray, dirty, and half-frozen but I did enjoy it early in the morning. The result? Lots of winter weekend camera shots. From coyote fur hats, to kitty cuddles, baubles, and an awesome new chrome skull...my inspirations and fascinations for the day.

Pirates and Treasure









Obsessed does not begin to describe my feelings on the new Nicholas K lookbook. It has this amazing pirate feel and an eerie contrast of light and dark.  I love how effortlessly textures are mixed with flowing fabrics. New springtime wardrobe? Yes, please.

American Bones

American Bones


And the second reason to buy this fabulous jacket...the reds, blues, and whites give that Americana feel and the mixture of leather and heavily chained jewelry give it a rocker edge.

Light meets Dark

Light meets Dark

Absolutely Obsessed with this Allsaints Leather Jacket. I love the idea of mixing hard edges with soft details and using pops of color to bring it all together. I'm going to create an outfit for it everyday this week and then maybe it will magically appear in my closet? One can only hope...

Bird of Prey





Easily the best Christmas present ever. I'm completely obsessed with body armor lately and this shoulder piece from my sister is beyond awesome. Tons of chains, black rooster feathers, and studded leather...everything I love. I know nothing about the designer or where she got it and I'm desperately trying to find out. No worries...you will know as soon as I do.
