Hippie Chic

"I hate the term 'Hippie Chic' because hippies are not chic, I should know, I married one." Quoting Kate Hudson in the January issue of instyle magazine. She right, are hippies chic? Personally I think that hippies don't try to be fashionable, they just are. Okay... maybe taking showers and putting on deodorant would help them be a little more fashion forward. Honestly? Dressing like a hippie is incredibly easy and not to mention its nostalgic. Which brings me to come up with a little term of my own... The Glam Hippie. Meaning you dress up like a hippie but dress it up a little. Like a glittery dress, a headband, fringe, and a shower! But the origianl hippie? Here's how to master it; Mess up your hair a little bit and let it grow out. Wear long tye dye dresses. Put on lots of bangles and rings and necklaces. Get yourself some fringe boots. And last, but not least, oversized shirts. There you have it.
Yes, and here is that lovely cover of instyle that Kate was on. She's lovely and very amazing. I read the entire article with her and Stella McCartney doing a back and forth interveiw type thing. And she did say that quote I mentioned somewhere up there. Anyways, I love Kate Hudson, she is a style icon.

Axl Rose. Circa 1987. He was actually attractive then! And honestly? The man knew how to dress back in his Sunset Strip days before he became super famous. I just moved to California. And I see like, at lest ten, guys wearing aviators a bandanna and a bunch of jewelry. Sometimes I even look like this! Basically. He made the idea of looking like a traveling caravan gypsy cool. Why he got the plastic surgery? No idea. He looked good.











Another thing, his voice could scare the living hell out of people. And he really didn't give a flying one about anything. He was just plain cool. Now? I think he needs to get his act back together. GNR seriously needs a reunion like no tomorrow!
By the way, I have a pair of glasses like that.

Kick ass jeans! Am I right, or am I right? Acid wash/tye dye jeans have recently made a comeback. But in my mind they were always cool. Even when I was 14 (was that really only 2005?) and flared and/or skinny jeans with sequins and designs on them were all the rage. They might be considered "retro" maybe even vintage or... dare I say it? Dated? I never cared. My friends always made fun of me for going to Wal-Mart, buying a pair of cheap jeans, then throwing bleach on them. Or going t the flea market and buying an old pair. But now see DKNY, Mark Jacobs, Dior, all the big designers selling tye dye bleached jeans. And at ridiculous prices. Remember, you don't always have to be loose with your money to look good. And yuo don't always have ot follow trends. Last, but not least, cheap can be chic. I wear Designer brands and flea market buys.
