Lucy’s Coachella Recap
Hi everyone! I know it’s been awhile since Coachella Music & Arts Festival wrapped, but I’ve been so busy in the showroom that I’ve had zero time to sit down and write about the experience. Several weeks later, I’m still riding the high from experiencing some of the world’s greatest musical talents in one of … Read more
Luxe Leather
Winter in Chicago is, well… cold. And sometimes it’s just too hard to look trendy and keep warm at the same time. Luckily, all you need for this is a pair of leather pants and a faux fur coat. Wearing a Topshop faux fur coat and leather trousers with an F21 tie-dye long-sleeved tee and … Read more
Pretty Grunge
This vintage floral skirt that I found at a thrift shop a few years ago and altered has been a trusty fall-back item. Black tee, leather jacket, skirt, boom. Instant outfit. I paired my vintage floral skirt with a black peplum t-shirt from Forever21. The flare at the waist of the shirt in combination with … Read more
Girly Linebacker
I’ve been really into “trousers” lately. I guess calling them something other than pants makes me feel more grown up and sophisticated. Truth is, 23 is an awkward age when you’re both too young and too old. I try to remedy this situation with my wardrobe — mixing classic, adult pieces with edgier, youthful trends. … Read more
Monster Sweater
Bought a sweater that a little kid would love just as much as a grown man. I paired a Forever 21 monster graphic sweater (two sizes too big) with skinny leather trousers from Topshop for a look that is comfy but pulled together. The Cooperative beanie I’m wearing is my absolute favorite, and the pointed … Read more
Dope A$$ Chicks
I am LOVING how more chicks these days aren’t afraid to rock streetwear – yes, the androgynous look is unique and gutsy, but it can also be badass and sexy. Take, for examples the following chicks who are getting it right: Waltz in Black – Waltz in Black is a Southern Californian with a penchant … Read more
Snakeskin and Ox Blood
Rocking three of fall’s most predominant trends — snakeskin print, ox blood, and a monochromatic color scheme. WHAM. I got this sweater at LF Boston on my trip out there to visit my boyfriend a couple weeks ago. There’s no LF in Chicago (LF peeps, if you’re out there reading this, PLEASE PLEASE open one here), so … Read more
Pattern Play
Today was an unseasonably warm Sunday for Chicago in November — 67 degrees. I was actually sweating in this outfit. Alas that tomorrow it’s supposed to plunge into the 30s. Bye bye indian summer for good. Mixing prints has become a favorite outfit staple. Both leopard and camo are the new blacks this season, so I … Read more
Fall 2012 Photoshoot
Just after Rusted Revolution’s second birthday, we found ourselves reunited in Chicago for the first time since Coachella, back in April. Having been apart for several months, we were eager to catch up and explore the foodie side of Lincoln Park — but we found time to mix in a little bit of the business. … Read more
California in Chicago
Hola homies!!! I know it’s been forever since I’ve given you an outfit post, but it’s been sheer madness at work this season prepping for LA Fashion Week and managing press for some new designers who just presented some dope Spring/Summer 2013 collections (more to come on that, promise). Here’s a quickie outfit from a … Read more
