Hi there!

I had some fun on a recent return to LA shooting this look. A go-to fashion staple of mine is the band tee, and my Tom Petty t-shirt pictured is a favorite of mine. It’s handmade (distressed) by Tasch NYC, a New York handmade all-woman company! I’ve blogged about them before in another 70s bell bottom, velvet platform, faux fur jacket look shot in Manhattan, where I featured her Janis Joplin tee.

I styled the t-shirt with my LoveShack Fancy eyelet skirt, small Parisian boutique combat boots which are exact Balmain dupes, and my beloved oldie-but-goodie Topshop faux fur teal jacket. My Gucci GG Marmont Velvet Shoulder Bag matches the coat so well, so I chose that to finish off the look!

Life’s too short not to have fun with fashion:)

Hi there! 

Continuing the vintage band tee trend (I love how versatile a great rock and roll band tee can be) we recently photographed another t-shirt from the TaschNYC vintage repurposed tee collection. This one was a Janis Joplin tee with custom heart cutout and studded detail in the back. All the tees have been custom redesigned in some way which I really love. I styled this with my Old Navy high-waisted Bell bottom jeans (a recent sale score!) and my Topshop teal faux fur jacket. Edit: this is not avail so I tagged a more recent one in another funky color (there are many colors avail)! I finished the look with my new Sam Edelman teal velvet platform sandals (later edit: when that one was sold out I added a more recent link here) and my YSL medium Kate bag. I felt right out of the 70s with this look; a little boho rock and roll vibe!

I also worked with TaschNYC in the past with some of their gorgeous dressy looks including a beaded purple dress I had a blast shooting in and walking the runway in. They have some fun casual wear as well as formal ladies clothing!
