A long time favorite detail of mine, these epaulettes are pretty cool. The colors, rugged fabrics, and metal buttons are all inspiring for some details on my guitar straps.

Men's Scarves
This collection of men's street style pics is the most inspiring one I've seen in a very long time. Wow. And I am loving the scarves on these three guys- definitely a good way to introduce some pattern to an outfit, or a guitar strap!

Miu Miu Stones
I love these mixed media dresses from Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2010. They're such a cool combination of retro/feminine/artsy prints, and costume-esque glamour. And the placement of the stones, sequins...etc, is beautiful! Definitely an inspiring reminder of the freshness that comes from mixing materials.

Rebel Print
I love the simplicity of this lettering stamped on faded denim. Its inspiring for a new way to do a label on my guitar strap...

McQueen's Hardware
These shoes from Alexander McQueen's Sp10 show are amazing. I love the sculpted metal plates with holes and screws combined with the printed shoe. Its high-fashion steampunk and very inspiring.

Stitched Leather Piecing
I love the geometric leather panels and the stitching detail on these pieces from Louise Goldin's Fall 2010 runway. Definitely a cool idea for a shoulder piece on one of my guitar straps. I also like the peek of metallic red, to make it a little more flashy.

Burberry Gold Buttons
Burberry took the rows-and-rows of pyramid studs trend and made it theirs by using gold buttons. Genius!

Lysacek, Black on Black
[This is probably the only time figure skating costumes will ever get featured on this blog- but this couldn't go without mentioning:]
I first noticed Evan Lysacek's skating because of his sleek, all-black costume that stood in stark contrast to the white ice. It stopped me in my channel-surfing tracks, and I've been interested ever since. Turns out, his costumes are designed by Vera Wang! I love the continuity across the different costumes, and that she has managed to incorporate some really dramatic details (strong shoulders, feathers, crystal snakes!!!) while still retaining masculinity and elegance- no easy feat. The black-on-black color scheme, and all the trims are definitely serving as some inspiration for new guitar straps.
AND last night he took the gold!

Plumes and Plaid
Lots of cool things here- band hat (americana insp), feather plume, sailor bracelet, pyramid stud cuff, plaid leggings, exposed zippers, studded boots...etc. All inspiring for a strap.

Metal zippers
How amazing is this skirt from Phillip Lim? Its made with rows and rows of zippers, with gold metal teeth. The way he has made something so hard edged look smooth and feminine is really impressive, and definitely inspiring. I really need to get working on a strap with zippers!

Studded Ballet
I'm joining the ranks of bloggers loving these shoes. The juxtaposition of sweet ballet slippers and spiky studs is just awesome.

White and Gold
I love the rows of pyramid studs on these white shorts (looks kinda like Tetris)! This is definitely an idea for a strap.

Dotted Ruffles - Lacroix
I would love to wear this Christian Lacroix (?) dress . . . mostly because of the dramatic dotted ruffles over the shoulders. I think a small version of these could be pretty cool on a very girly guitar strap. Maybe even topped off with a little black bow, like on her shoes.

Lace and Copper Chains
Love the the way the thin copper chains are dripping off this lace top. An inspiration for a strap for sure!

More amazing shoes from Prada (Fall 09). I love the fan detail at the back of the heel, with the strips of leather and studs. This could be a very cool piece on a strap.

Matador/Embroidery
There is something really amazing about traditional matador/toreador pants. The intricate embroidery is quite beautiful. I think a vintage piece of embroidery, done in this style, could make a really cool shoulder piece on a guitar strap.

Gold Dress

This Versace caught my eye b/c of its unique surface treatment. I'm not sure how the gold sequins/paillettes (?) are attached, but I really like the way they look, and that they're applied different at the top and bottom. Very glam/disco. Could be a cool shoulder piece on a guitar strap.

clairelafaye- Etsy shop inspiration
Absolutely amazing pieces from the Etsy shop clairelafaye. The designs and the level of detail are really impressive, and beautifully executed. This is inspiration both for straps (for the girliest of guitar players) and for my Etsy shop in general.
