Punk Princess

At the request of Dibsy, I am going to write an article about punk/princess styles of fashion. This trend is definitely very big right now. You can find this look all over various clothing stores, in fashion magazines everywhere, and on many different celebrities. One of the best examples of a celebrity who is always rocking this look is, of course, Avril Lavigne. She has even launched her own clothing line called Abbey Dawn, currently available at Kohls. This brand has many different styles of "punk princess" fashions so I definitely recommend heading down to the nearest Kohls to check it out. I also would suggest the brand Pink Cookie, which is currently available at Sears. You might want to take a look in your nearest Hot Topic as well. Styles that go along with this type of fashion include feminine-looking skulls, animal prints, plaid, tattoo designs, and pairing pink and black or red and black together. Basically you want to go for items that look tough, yet still girly and sweet. I will now feature some of these styles below.

You're welcome. Glad you liked it. :) I am seriously loving a lot of the stuff in Avril Lavinge's Abbey Dawn line. I'm going to have to head down to Kohls soon so I can check it out in person and hopefully buy something.
