Even though I have style-inspiration A.D.D. and this is all bound to change tomorrow. A la The Shitshow, leave your lists in the comments section...
1. Swimsuits and moccasins; bell bottoms and moccasins; short-shorts and moccasins; fill-in-the-blank and moccasins. Per our friend on the right, my personal Summer wardrobe concept is "Trampy 70s Teenage Hitchhiker" and it's in effect from now until 15 September.
2. Technicolor, mega-clashing, outfit insanity. Nicked from Teen Vogue, the above is pretty much ruling my life right now. For obvious reasons. See also:
3. PSYCHEDELICS. Related:
4. CRYSTALS. 2009: Summer of the New-Age Step-Mom.
5. Goddess gowns. They're insanely flattering, they look equally great with flats, heels, and motorcycle boots, and in one you will, never fail, be the best-dressed person in the room. Bonus points for wearing them in borderline inappropriate situations; examples include (but are not limited to) barbecues, dive bars, and the weddings of arch-nemeses.
6. Bare nails. Partly because it's tree-climbing season; mostly because you can't chip your nail polish opening cans of Coors Light if you aren't wearing nail polish to begin with.
7. The American flag. Worn without irony, it's totally stellar.
8. Hell's Angels girlfriends. I've spent a little too much time lately Google-image searching pictures of homemade back patches and leather vests and biker gangs; it was only a matter of time before I started noticing the groupies in the background. Baddest. Babes. Ever.
9. The Alicia Silverstone-era Aerosmith videos. ESPECIALLY the tragically un-embeddable Cryin'. So early 90s perfect.
10. POOL PARTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUH!
God loves a cheerful giver.
i don't think i could actually pull off moccasins, but i looove the feel of "trampy 70's teenage hitchiker"

Combat boots (doc martins) are back
1. Long boarding
2. Matt and Kim
3. Psychedelics(I'm a Sucker for them too)
4. Scraped knees
5. Portland, OR
6. Grassy Fields
7. Camel ciggarettes
8. Hugh Illustration
9. Bare feet
10. Taco bell
I wish that I was a Hell's Angel Girlfriend, but I'm much too "Dorothy and Toto On Bicycle", with summer dresses and little floral cardis. I want to invest in a pair of big boots. Moccasins are also cool though
However, I'm also not feeling scraped knees, Nicki. I fell over in a pair of wedges, and now my legs are so black and blue and scraped, I could be an extra in a zombie movie.
