When you think of flannel, there are a few things that might come to mind:  90′s garage bands, Al Borland, lumberjacks, thick framed glasses sans lenses, Old Spice…  Anyone else getting turned on?  No?

And while I don’t need a man who borrows my beauty products, one thing I don’t mind sharing with my boyfriend is his shirts.  Thankfully, when it comes to flannel, bigger can be better.  The trend could possibly come across as a bit hipster ’cause as our new friend we picked up at Mas (you need to go eat there, by the by) said, “It’s always fall in Brooklyn.”  (He lives there- he’s allowed to say that), but when styled a la glamorous grunge, it is anything but Brooklyn (as seen here)– not that there is anything wrong with that.

LNA Cropped Flannel Shirt, $150, Siwy Abbeylee Zip Cropped Pants, $196, Marni Plaid Flannel Covered Leather Loafers, $610, Sauce Puffer Coat, $194

So, put that PBR in a paper bag, lumberjack.  Flannel is back and not just for the Berenstain Bears.

I’ve said before that I actually might have been a rockstar in a past life.  Maybe I even missed my calling… except for the fact that I’m tone deaf and lacking any and all musical talent.  So, scratch that.  Doesn’t mean I can’t channel my inner rock goddess in the form of fashion.  I mean, we all know that fashion and music go hand in hand (leather and lace).  Being a rockstar doesn’t necessarily mean decking yourself out in head to toe leather- though I’m not opposed to such… shall we talk about my sophomore year of highschool homecoming dress?  Adding an edgier item to any ensemble can take you from Miley Cyrus to Pat Benatar.

Rock and roll may have died with Nirvana, but the style lives on.

  Ash Tokyo Biker Boot, $450, MiH Jeans Fringed Shearling and Suede Gillet, $945, Alice + Olivia Front Zip Leather Leggings, $697, Pamela Love Silver and Wooden Dagger Necklace, $210

So go ahead and party like a rockstar, unless that includes snorting ants.  Then I’m out.

I realize that there are now girls old enough to drink (legally), but not old enough to know who the hell Kurt Cobain is.  That doesn’t dissuade me from wearing one of my favorite t-shirts though.  I’ve had this shirt for a while now, and I”m not sure I’ll ever get rid of it.  Yes, that’ll be me.  The 65 year old woman wearing a cut off t-shirt in the grocery line.  So?  I like to pair it with the unexpected.  For this rendition, I’ve topped off a sweet pair of lace shorts with my less than ladylike t-shirt.  I specialize in contradictions.

We already know the 90′s grunge look is making a bit of a comeback, so now’s the time to revel in a bit of nostalgia by digging out those old concert t-shirts and making them new again.  And no, ‘N Sync isn’t vintage… yet.

t-shirt: vintage, shorts: Pins and Needles, bag: Urban Expressions, shoes: Colin Stuart (similar here), bracelets, Alex and Ani, lipstick: Bare Escentuals Pretty Amazing Lip Color in Strength

Smells like teen spirit.

We’ve all been through it.  The gut wrenching, heart shattering, hysteria inducing breakup.  And just as we’ve all experienced it– we’ve also all survived it.  So, this week, we will help a sexy starlet get through her very own heartbreak.

• So apparently, Ashton and Demi are breaking up [People]
• And sadly, men are much quicker to move on than women.  So, this isn’t going to be easy. [Huffington Post]
• Thanks to this new website (touting itself as the “Yelp for former flames”), she can spill all the deets on what her heartthrob ex did wrong. [Huffington Post]
• And since, she probably won’t want to talk to anyone for a while, it’ll be best if she hires a robot as her personal assistant. [TechCrunch]
• As you ladies know, looking good is the best revenge.  So the collaboration between H&M and Versace will help spruce up your closet. [Refinery29]
• But don’t even bother with the Reebok Easytone shoes… cause apparently they’re handing out refunds. [NY Mag]
• Do, however, keep doing what you’re doing and add some of these beauty products to keep you looking fresh as the 45 year old you are! [InStyle]
• And do keep busy.  Luckily, with the new Amazon Kindles, you’ll be able to catch up on quite a bit of reading. [TechCrunch]
• Or you could stream Nirvana’s 1991 Seattle concert online…. Oh, the memories. [Nylon]
• And when you’re feeling ready… I can think of another young man that you might find enticing… [People]

This is one of my all time favorite outfits and these sequin shorts may seem silly, but I’ve found them to be awfully versatile. �This particular pair of party pants has made its way from the Standard in New York to the Chateau Marmont in LA and had a blast all along the way.

Since moving up north, all my “fun” clothes have been doing nothing but collecting dust. �Needless to say, my sequin shorts haven’t seen the light of day. Sorry, kids, unless you love to wear North Face, Patagonia and J. Crew when you’re feeling jazzy, Northern California is not for you.  But just because I’m suffering doesn’t mean you need to be.

Ready to turn your pants into a party? �Thought so:

1. Kill City Good Country Muscle Tee, $52, 2. Chan Luu Sequined Track Shorts, $148, 3. Rachel Roy Cross Charm Bracelet, $65, 4. Anya Hindmarch Sea Snake Valerie Clutch, $650, 5. Dolce Vita Madison Platform Pump, $165

Are sequin shorts the new LBD? �No, probably not, but they are certainly a fun addition to any girl’s wardrobe.
