Madonna's Material Girl Collection!

Will all teenage girls start dressing like rock'N roll whores? HELL YES, if Madonna has anything to say about it. Macy's recently debuted their new Juniors line Material Girl, "designed" by Madonna and her daughter Lola and named after the Queen of Pop's 1985 #2 hit single. If that wasn't good enough, they got rock'N roll teen tart Taylor Momsen to be the spokesperson! Huge win! The line actually looks really hot and is MUCH better than Madonna's previous collaborations with H&M in 2006/2007 (remember that tracksuit?). The line seems like the perfect fusion of Madonna's classic mid-80's Boy Toy look; frills, lace, beads and bangles with Taylor Momsen's brand of neo-grunge glaMOUR; flannel shirts, studded leather, floral print baby-doll dresses and acid washed denim. I mean, ANY fashion collection aimed at teenage girls that contains a spandex bra top is fine with me. Will I be featuring any of it? Well, I haven't checked out the line in person yet (and the fact that being 30 and buying clothes marketed to 16 year old's would sorta make me feel like a douchebag)...but we'll see. As Madonna said "I have no shame! I'm on FIRE!".

Sheer hosiery and a combat boot! YESSS!!!

Beads and a bra top!

Tutu

Sometimes you just need a peplum.

This flannel contains LACE! Wow.

"It's not complicated. It's dressing in layers. It's not looking like you took too much time thinking about what you're wearing."-Madonna on the Material Girl Collection

Who's that girl?

Burning Up!

Just a quick cut-off.

Causing a commotion!

Lil' Blonde Darling: Taylor Momsen!

Blonde Beauty Icon Taylor Momsen

I must preface this post by saying that I really didn't know much about Taylor Momsen before I started researching her. She's a teen star on the CW show Gossip Girl (which I have never seen), a model signed to IMG, and is the lead singer in an alt.rock/post-grunge band The Pretty Reckless, which have recently been signed to Interscope. In any case, I have seen many photos of her and her look is too damn good to be true! I am pretty much obsessed! She's basically every glamorous rock'N roll blonde I've ever wanted to look like, all rolled up into one underage package! She sites Debbie Harry, Cherie Currie and Courtney Love as her style influences....and since they've all been super inspirational to my look as well...how could I not feature her?! Her band (from what I've heard so far) is actually really good, much harder than what you would expect from a teen idol, and the juxtaposition of a 16 year old singer in a garder belt and ripped stockings, backed by a band who's members all look like 45 year old murderers is really fucking awesome! Adding to her credit is the fact that she's a fan of my NYC BFF's Semi Precious Weapons! For being so young...she has great taste! Just one question; is it acceptable for a 30 year old to cite 16 year old jailbait as a style muse?
