Happy Birthday, Reba!

If you have been worrying about some pop star’s birthday today, you must be deranged and forgot what is really important on this date: Reba McEntire’s 57th birthday. Some might ask why mention her on a fashion blog, but let me tell you why. Reba has been known for her flaming locks of hair along with her music, but lady has been known to be adorned in some pretty memorable, usually crazy, get-ups.  One of my favorite of this wacky singer’s costumes was of course from the “Does He Love You” video. The image above speaks for itself. Now words could do this wonder any justice.

Reba thanks you for your time.

MDNA

MDNA

If you know what is good for you, you would know that MDNA, Madonna’s latest musical effort has been released for just about 24 hours now. Just about everyone has put out their opinions – both good, bad, and uneducated varieties are floating around – and we have to say, the Queen has redeemed herself after Hard Candy.

I’m not going to give you my opinion on the icon’s latest work, so just try it out yourself. Your highness awaits.

Genius: Bond Hardware

Hitch Ring

There is nothing I enjoy more than to experiment with new fashions or new statements. Maybe this has developed from me coming from small town Indiana and where I’m surrounded by Wranglers, John Deere, and the soccer moms’ go-to luxury of Vera Bradley or Coach purses.

Fashion is about having fun with whatever you’re doing with it, so let’s talk Bond Hardware. I came across them going through some blog and sort of had that moment when you need something immediately. The them I speak of are two Brooklyn designers: Dana Hurwitz and Vincent Barile. No, I don’t want it, I need it. I need it as much as a fatherless twink bottom needs a top. They have taken regular hardware pieces and turned them into terribly chic neckwear. Every piece is unique in its own way and has been on the likes of Daphne Guinness. The Hitch Ring and Window Lock(s) bring just the amount of rough and tough to any outfit. These are the perfect fetishist pieces that could compliment a leather harness to a soft, silk blouse.

Visit them on their website HERE, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter. I’m telling you, Bond Hardware is genius.

King Kong

Why change before going to the Empire State Building when you can just go as King Kong?
