oh my stars! Thank you all so much for all the love from my first tutu post { bold }. I was really stepping out of my comfort zone with all that ‘non black’ happening, haha!!

In keeping with my how to rock a tutu theme leading up to my birthday I have yet another look for you!

Today’s foray into tutu-ness is definitely within my comfort zone, it’s actually flashing back to my rock n roll roots. Though I no longer wear this studded belt I could never give it up, it used to be an everyday staple in my wardrobe, not to mention studded bracelets and well, studded everything. I haven’t grown out of loving studs, I just incorporate them into my outfits differently. But this was a fun flash back and homage to my style in my early 20’s.

This one is dedicated to all my punk rock princesses who don’t ever want to grow up.

For this look, I decided to play up the hard vs soft as much as I possibly could. So I paired the now chopped tutu with pink metallic Doc Martens, my very old and worn down studded belt, a denim vest decked out in my favourite buttons and a solid black crop.

My next tutu outfit is completely different!! Keep your eyes out for it later this week!!

I found this video on Gala Darling’s page & it really struck a cord with me.

The video is gorgeously shot & narrated by the smooth, steady and sultry voice of Veronica Varlow asking us “If we were living in a golden age, would we know?”

Much of my life I had dreamt I lived in another time. In the 90’s I desperately wished I was old enough to be part of the grunge scene, later in the 90’s, I distinctly remember walking out of “Almost Famous” when I was 16 or 17 telling my mom “I was born at the wrong time” wishing I had been around in the 70’s, the golden age of rock n’ roll. I’ve also fantasized about living in the 40’s with all it glamour and style, or even more glamorous & decadent, the roaring 20’s with flappers drinking cocktails & dancing all night or to live along side Marie Antoinette, drinking champagne whilst wearing all the bows and wigs I could muster!

But it occurs to be, that my life is grand. I live a lifestyle I truly love and I get to borrow from each of these time periods to inspire me for style and parties I can plan. I do think, perhaps, I live in a golden age.
