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 can look through some of my other posts too because they may contain an item that fits with this category. Once again, the credit goes to Dibsy for suggesting this article.

It's Still Rock And Roll To Me

Rock & Roll graphic t-shirts were a big thing this summer. This could be due to the movies Camp Rock and The American Mall that came out. It could also be due to the success of the High School Musical movies. Or maybe it's just because 1980's music and fashion has come back in style. Well, whatever the reason, I think this trend rocks (no pun intended)! Not only was this trend big for the summer, it's made its way into the fall 2008's fashion must-have list as well. That's right, Rock & Roll is going to be a big thing for the fall too. But wait! Rock & Roll isn't just limited to music. This fall will celebrate the entire culture of Rock. This includes skulls, tattoos (the kind you wear on your clothes, not your skin), and faces printed on t-shirts. To help you get on board with this trend, I have some awesome finds that you can rock out in below.
