Pink Slip Style Icon: Axl Rose

This is not a joke. Sometimes when I think about what my current fashion is all about, all I can think of is Axl Rose. Sure he might be crazy and known for jumping out of moving vehicles but he definitely had a style all his own. Skinny jeans, leather, animal print, chains, burnout tees, aviators, what more could you ask for? We play a lot of Guns'n'Roses in the store and it's always interesting to see the looks on people's faces when Axl welcome's you to the jungle and tells you you're going to die... what can we say? We're suckers for November Rain....

Swoon - Taylor Kitsch

Everyone makes fun of me because I watch the TV series Friday Night Lights... all I have to say to you haters is "YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NEVER SEEN TIM RIGGINS!" Taylor Kitsch plays Tim Riggins, all around bad-ass and playboy who resides in the great town of Dillion, Texas, and plays some position on the football team... The show itself is alright, it is interesting enough to watch each week but the added bonus is obviously the swoon factor of Tim Riggins. He's probably going to be my new boyfriend...

FASHION POLICE: HELP NEEDED

Alexander McQueen sent these down the runway recently and we've seen them a handful of times since on the red carpet. Honestly, we throw up in our mouth a little each time we see the McQueenadillos... no really, that's what they're called.





How these women didn't fall is beyond me.
