She’s Dressed in Black Again


Something about Depeche Mode just makes me want to wear everything black. In this case, it’s ok because the bright red “Violator” rose breaks up the black quite nicely. This is another item from Idle Vice’s Fashion Rocks line, and by far my favorite for all the reasons you may think: it’s my favorite all time group and it’s one of my favorite all time albums.


We found these murals outside a Mexican restaurant called El Camino, which is in Little Italy (Downtown San Diego). The sunlight was perfect and created such wonderful contrasting light because of the time of day we were there. With such a fantastic exterior, we will have to go inside to see if the food is just as good.

Ode To Joy


Here is another purchase from Fashion Rocks: The “Love Will Tear Us Apart” Joy Division skirt. I used two different looks for this pictorial. One look I felt was softer and more feminine with the scarf, knitted hat and cardigan.


With the next look, I really wanted to use Ian Curtis’ iconic silhouette. To me, this look is marked by the trench coat and dark military-type clothing. I didn’t have a long olive colored trench, so I just used this 80’s inspired jacket. In both outfits, I’m wearing the “Make Your Mark” heels (first posted about here). I love them so much! They are as comfortable as they are cute, for such a great price.


I wrote a post about Joy Division last year (seen here), and I have been semi-obsessed with their music and the story of Ian Curtis for about two years now. Idil Vice has a few other pieces of Joy Division clothing in her collection, and as much as I love the group, I want to indulge in maybe one more dress.


Outfit 1: Burton’s hat; Nordstrom cardigan; Cotton On scarf

Outfit 2: Jezebel jacket

Both outfits: Blu Heaven striped shirt; Idil Vice skirt; Fior Di Melo crossbody bag (purchased in Italy); Qupid Luxe shoes; Burberry sunglasses; H&M studded bracelet; Forever 21 & Juicy Couture rings; Charm bracelet from my niece; Tiffany necklace

Nevermind the Bollocks, Here’s Fashion Rocks!


I am happy to finally have my first pictorial with one of my purchases from Fashion Rocks: The “Nevermind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols” skirt. At first, I was pretty intimidated by the bright yellow of the fabric, but I decided to embrace it and really make it stand out by wearing mostly black, including my boots. I also had my husband help me take these pictures in Downtown San Diego with his Sony camera to give these pictures the desired effect.


The dress and the skirts that I purchased are amazing! In addition to the skirt pictured here, I bought a Joy Division skirt and a Depeche Mode dress. They are all made of a heavy t-shirt material and the large print itself is so clear. I can’t believe I’ve never worn my favorite artists in this way, and now I think I’m hooked. As much as I wear and love my concert shirts, these are definitely going to get heavy rotation in my wardrobe.
