Wearing the Pants

Wearing the Pants is my new favorite tumblr for inspiration. Love these images, so cool.

Paul Smith's Rockabilly Menswear for Women

I love Paul Smith's Sp'11 runway looks for women. Pompadors & menswear-inspired pieces are two of my favorite things. And the mix of patterns going on is pretty cool too, and inspiring for some of my guitar straps!

*Also, new guitar straps (FINALLY) coming soon!

Portman rocks pompadour

Natalie Portman is pretty cool. And I love this photo of her- beautiful while very androgynous. Inspiring for a tougher guitar strap.

Minimal black and white looks, inspiring for some formal straps this fall.

Plaid Brogues

I love how menswear shoes are being made for women. I've tried to wear these kind of shoes myself and just can't quite pull it off. But I really like the way these look on this model. And I think the use of the brown vintage-y plaid plus the perforated leather is inspiring for a strap or two.

Summer Menswear

This look isn't really about guitar straps, but it is an amazing mix of femininity and masculinity, which is something I try to incorporate in therine. I think most of the elements in this outfit are men's pieces, but she pulls them together and looks really cool. Definitely inspiring.

Tough Cuff

This image is really cool. I love the masculinity of her oversized pants with the big cuffs. Plus the slouchy black leather boots with studs and buckles. Very inspiring.

Glamour & Bow Ties

I love this picture from Vogue circa 1987. I especially like the combination of her hair, which is very Veronica-Lake-1940's-glam plus her bow tie and vintage hardshell case.

Olsen, Menswear

I love this outfit, especially the combination of menswear and glam heels. Definitely inspiring.

Lookbook.nu

I've been on Lookbook today, and didn't have any trouble finding some inspiration:

Similar to yesterday's Olsen post- I love the Black, Black/Gold, Red, and Blonde colors in this pic. 

From Krystal S.'s lookbook

Love the leather and  printed scarf combo. From Freja R.'s lookbook

Great color combos here, and I love how this pic combines his outfit (rock) with the vintage buildings. 

From Case S.'s lookbook

Super cool androgynous pic, but what I really like about it is the subtle combination of wearing black with brown shoes. From Von B.'s lookbook

I like their mostly black outfits with a touch of a bright, blue toned color. Plus extra attitude.
