Guns’N’ Roses

She’s got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky…
( Sweet Child O’Mine)

I had so much fun shooting and remembering all Axl Rose most memorable looks from Guns’N’Roses, one of the most popular bands from the beginning of 90’s era. I am sure if you are from this time, you’d remember well some of their famous hits:  Welcome to Jungle, Sweet Child O’Mine, Paradise City or November rain. Yes, they made history, and they are back playing their concerts in a Worldwide tour.

I think this is the most original Axl look when the band first came out: Black Leather pants, bandana, aviator sunglasses paired with a Guns’N’Roses T-shirt. The rock and roll shirt material is a soft blend of cotton and customed made distressed by Tashnyc.

The patriotic pieces were standard in his concerts wardrobe, with 4th of July celebrations still lingering around I found it was a good time to put this look together. You can wear the rock and roll shirt tied in a knot paired with a patriotic boxer and don’t forget to wear your red bandana to finalize the look. The bandanas are a must-have accessory for this season.

I saw a picture of Axl Rose wearing a cop hat, which brought me the inspiration for this look: pairing the rock and roll shirt with high waisted skinny light jeans, suede boots, and the Russian soldier hat.

The Beatles

Michelle ma belle
sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble,
très bien ensemble
I love you, I love you…
(Michelle)

I cannot even tell how much I love The Beatles; I remember playing my mom’s old Beatles vinyl records and memorizing the lyrics. I learned a lot of English by listening and singing their songs. Like Twist and Shout, Hey Jude, All my loving, Michelle, Yesterday, Let It Be.

I embraced a little bit of the 60’s look wearing a black deep V romper paired with the Rock and Roll shirt. It has a lot of details; the design is very creative and versatile.  The fabric is so high quality that you will be able to wear for a long time.

The coolest thing I like about this Beatles shirt is the versatility to wear; the reversible Beatles logo can be worn in the front or backward as you will see in the second look.

For this look, I wore a denim overall dress paired with a denim cap and gladiator wedges. It is good option for the hottest summer days.

It is nice when We can wear the same top in different ways, for this look The Beatles logo is on the back.

Ramones

Hey! Ho! Let’s Go… ( Blitzkrieg Bop- Ramones)

 Ramones were the pioneers of the Punk Rock style and influenced a whole generation with their sound and fashion too. They came during the disco time where everybody was wearing glittering outfits and changed the scene by wearing their leather jackets and distressed jeans. Later The British Punk invasion would take place which Sex Pistols and The Clash were part of it. And in the 90’s Green Day brought back the punk style. Ramones played at the legendary CBGD where the Punk music and other famous bands started their careers. Some of their biggest hits are: Blitzkrieg Bop, Rockaway Beach, Teenage Lobotomy, I wanna be sedated.

The rock and roll shirt I am wearing is a distressed long loose style. In the first look with a tank midi dress, with a tied knot to the side and a pair of k-swiss white sneakers. A look that I would wear to go to work. It is comfortable and fits the casual co-shared workspace environment.

The Bridgehampton Backpack from Solo Bags is part of my everyday look. I love how it can hold all my devices and accessories I have to carry, which makes my life easier. More importantly, it doesn’t give me backaches because it balances the weight so well.

For the second Ramones look, I paired the Rock’n’roll T-shirt with a black pair of leggings and a dark Rayban Wayfarer sunglass remembering Joye Ramone style, who was always wearing dark sunglasses.

Pink Floyd

Pink Floyd came out in the 60’s and is well known for their psychedelic rock and elaborated concerts. I grew up listening to their songs; it was part of my mom’s collection. The album, The Dark Side of the Moon, is one of the best-selling albums of all time. Among their biggest hits you can find: Wish You were here, Time, Another Brick in the Wall, Money.

For the first look, I am pairing the distressed rock and roll shirt with an A-line mini burgundy skirt, an asymmetrical pair of hanging earrings and a black necklace, incorporating some of the hippie vibes of Pink Floyd’s time.

For the second look, I paired the rock and roll shirt with the distressed white shorts. The T-shirts cotton is so soft that gives you more options to style it in the way you prefer.  I would say this is the perfect festival look.

For the third look, I paired the Rock’n’Roll T-shirt with a black tube skirt for a more sophisticated style that you can use for happy hour times.
