It's Only Rock & Roll

 I've been so inspired by the 1970s lately. It's a decade I've always been drawn to, but lately, it's like I don't want to be wearing or listening to anything not from that time. It's funny how fashion and music work so hand in hand. At least they do, for me. Lately, my style inspiration question has been "Would mom have worn this when she was 19?" when getting ready in the morning. 

What decades have you guys been loving most lately? What's been inspiring you?

Today, I just wanted to take some time to share with you all some of the bloggers I've been absolutely loving lately. These blogs inspire me each in their own ways, and blogging for me, is all about being inspired, and inspiring. Let me know in the comments which of these bloggers you've already loved, which you're just finding about about, and which I should check out!

Howl

First off, I would just like to say I had a great time co-hosting the Free People event at Bridgeport Village last night! I think my favorite part was when I bought this dress. Maybe it's because of my new hair color, but I've really been feeling anything with a dark, moody, edgier vibe lately. Of course, whatever vibe I'm feeling is subject to change at any minute. I've also been really inspired by my all time favorite band, Nirvana. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame last night, and I've been thinking a lot about why they're my favorite band and how the music I love inspires the fashions I love, as well as how I would define my personal style (which can be defined as eclectic, at best.) Michael Stipe said it best in his speech last night, Nirvana was "a sweet and beautiful—but fed-up—fury, coupled with howling vulnerability." 

That quote made me re-realize why Nirvana has always been my favorite band... And it also helped me realize how I define my style.

Metallics

Going to school for fashion means always having to know what's up and coming trend wise. A trend predicted to be popular this upcoming Spring season that I'm totally in love with and already mentally preparing for, is metallic accessories. My favorite way to utilize this trend, is with metallic shoes. Below are a few outfits I put together featuring some adorably bad ass metallic shoes that I'm hoping to get my hands on. Let me know what you think of my looks in the comments below!

Do you think you could get into the metallic trend? How would you put your own spin on it?

Metallics by kenziereese featuring boyfriend jeans

I really love taking simple shapes such as boyfriend jeans, and basic tees or sweaters with this look, so the attention is on the shoes. Floral is another way to keep the look girly. 

Heavy Metal by kenziereese featuring Alexander Wang

This is my more tough look. I love the metallic Doc Martens, keeping the colors muted will ensure the look stays tough, not sweet. 

As The City Grows Dark by kenziereese featuring Uniqlo

This was my more glam look. Again, simple shapes keep the look more focused. I chose to use accessories in golden tones to draw attention to the shoes as well. 

Fall Pinspiration

Hey everyone! Halloween is over, but fall is not! Actually, I'm not entirely sure if November is considered a fall or a winter month, but I always considered it a fall month. Either way, the images below are undeniably inspiring (at least to me) for the fall season, not just in fashion, but in general! I'm home sick today so I didn't get a chance to take any outfit pictures, which is a good thing for you guys because I look atrocious. I thought it would be the perfect day to just snuggle up on Pinterest, and I wanted to show you guys some of the fun fall inspired stuff I've found lately.
