Elvis in the Army

I love Elvis, and also military details- so these pics are some of my favorites! Very inspiring.

Images source lost, sorry!

Anna, Stella

Anna Paquin in Stella McCartney at the Golden Globes. I loved this dress. Elegant and edgy at the same time. I especially like the irregular gold sequins and beading, which would be a new idea to consider for a guitar strap.

Olsen- Scarf/Studs/Leather

I like this outfit on Ashley Olson- its got a lot of elements I'd like to use on a strap: vintage leather, leopard print scarf, ripped denim, and studded black heels (with red soles of course).

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.

Adam Brody Style

I think Adam Brody has a pretty cool i'm-not-trying sense of style. His clothes seem basic, but he has a great sense of proportion (fitted, not tight, not baggy) and color. I like what he wears, and I think he's a good inspiration for the guy-oriented straps in my shop.

Madonna, Silk Bows

Love this behind-the-scenes pic from Madonna's Louis Vuitton ad campaign. The colors are good for some fall inspiration, and the huge silk bunny ears are great. Practical? Not at all, not even for guitar straps, but using a raw  silk for some big crinkled bows could be pretty interesting.

Monroe

Just found this blog:  *#@! yeah Marilyn Monroe! which is an amazing resource for people like me who could never get tired of looking at her pictures. This photo, which I haven't seen before, where she's dressed very ladylike while looking at ties in a menswear shop, is especially fitting as inspiration for therine.

Olsen, Menswear

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

Gwen Again

Recent pics from an Elle photoshoot- Gwen's style is still the best. I love the patterns mixed here- houndstooth, mini-plaid, acid-wash/bleaching (and the chains....!). Love her, as always.

Zac Efron's Suit

I love this pic from GQ's photo shoot with Zac Efron. A) He's gorgeous  B) That suit looks really great on him. I'm inspired to use some suit features/tailoring techniques as a detail on my straps, which could be pretty cool for guys.

Mark Ronson- Retro Menswear

Image from Men.Style.Com

Image from GQ and Band of Outsiders

Mark Ronson is getting more attention for his style recently, and its well-deserved I think. He has a slim vintage/retro menswear look that not many other guys are pulling off. I think straps incorporating some of these patterns (plaid, tweed) will be appearing next in therine.

Olsen Red & Black

The colors is in this pic are great- Black, Black/Gold print, Red, and Blonde. Very inspiring for a strap.

Prints: Leopard and Ornate

This is a really pretty picture, and it gave me an idea- to combine some leopard print with a piece of a printed scarf, on a strap.

Schwartzman / Fischer

Admittedly, I have a big crush on Jason Schwartzman. I think he's a pretty stylish guy, in a very casual way. In Rushmore, as Max Fischer, his wardrobe was full of classic menswear/uniform elements, and good color combos.

And his whole photo shoot for Band of Outsiders last year was really inspiring.

Pyramid Studs

This Givenchy jacket on Mary-Kate is kind of out of control, but I love the pyramid studs. Specifically the bronze-y gold color of them. These will definitely be appearing on some of my straps soon.

Rock Steady

For Rock Steady, Gwen made houndstooth cool again (it still is). And check that red glove- perfect!

This look has definitely inspired some of my straps. In fact, I think Gwen Stefani may be the whole reason I went into fashion.

An Olsen

Nice outfit on one of the Olsens. It could definitely be translated into a strap.
