With one of the largest music festivals in the world happening this weekend in Chicago, there’s a lot of good, bad, and down right crazy about to go on at Lollapalooza. I’m sure you’ve gotten your fair share of “what to wear to a music festival” posts, last year I shared my Lollapalooza essentials (which go for any music festival, really) and this year I’m doing something a little different.
Because I tend to injure myself on a daily basis due to sharp jewelry, spiked shoes or other fashion items that could potentially double as a weapon, I thought I’d do a little soul searching to figure out…why do I wear these things when I know a Cynthia Rowley Band-Aid will be in my near future? And I think I figured it out.
Just about every fashion week, new “street style stars” emerge and everyone is kept guessing “who are these mystery girls in these absolutely fantastic outfits?” Now I realize fashion week isn’t for another month or so but there has been someone from the last few seasons that I’ve totally been [style] crushing on. And because pinning just isn’t enough, this girl is getting her own post…and I think you’ll love her style just as much as I do.
When it comes to certain trends, you definitely need to have some guts to try them out (and even more to pull them off). I consider things like a full-on pajama-like outfit, a bright monochromatic suit, and a completely sheer top to be in this category. If you’re looking for an easy trend, go black and white. If you’re looking for something a little more…ballsy…then just wear a bra. Seriously.

As I’ve mentioned before (but probably not often enough), I’ve always had a thing for space. I can’t tell you how it started (although me discovering claustrophobia is what ended it) but when it comes to stars, planets and whatever else is up there, I’m into it.
So I happen to discover Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2013 ad campaign video yesterday and it seems as if Jack and Lazaro have also taken a liking to space. That, and a white cockatoo.
