Tell me about it....stud

                         

STUD

Well well well...what do we have here, you ask?  oh nothin' just a bad a** Things We Heart post for you!   yup rub those eye lovers...pinch yourself...cuz 'tis true...we are here again for you!  (PS who knew when the men in our lives were so busy ours would be too!)

we are...(see below)

                            

So for our return to the very small screen we are feeling very kinky...like stud n spike kinda kink....Puuurrrrrr. 

 Ok, ok...take it down a notch...we just mean we HEART (and have for like ever and eva and super happy they are back in a big way) spiked clothing!  

The purchase that started our hearts fluttering like a million fashionistas running to Bryant Park in September...

Pixie Market 

When we pressed "Add to Cart" on these bad boy spiked gladiators we thought they were too cute to be true but NOPE!  The fashion goddesses smiled upon us once again....

A loooooong time ago we posted about some bada** spiked heels for a bride and this is the man  that is responsible for hot, strong, smart, rad women being able to rock spiked stilettos and still look perfect (not slutty) Thank you Monsieur Louboutin for giving us GORGEOUSLY stupidly beautiful heels year after year...

We die...DIE  for these Christian Louboutins... like seriously ....

BUT since we love to be smart and realistic we found these crazy rad stunners from Aldo.  These are perfect with everything.   From a great summer or fall dress to skinnies or pleather shorts...these pumps are a MUST...

Hey!  Wait...speaking of radness in spikes 'n studs..... the super group that is No Doubt graced our TVs wearing fantastic suits smothered in perfectly placed spikes.  I mean...who in the world could pull this off but them...right?  Soooo good!  

Rob&Mariel (the uber stylists...they are soooo good we want to kick their asses)

Want to get your paws on a pair of sexy studded trousers but not sure if you can pull off spikes at work or play?   ....

Thanks Zara..aka "home away from home" for these perfectly studded pants.  

When I saw this spiked clip I immediately thought of my jinxysaurus rex.  Ugh its sooooo good!!!!

Also from heaven...we mean Nasty Gal is the divine...the deliciously gorgeously spiked moto jacket in a sky blue..I mean come on!!!!  

Blue not yo thang?  no worries...here's a stunner in black ....you're welcome...

So we wore a spiked sweatshirt very similar to this crazy rad one from Zara and it immediately transformed our boring uniform of an American Apparel sweatshirt and skinnies to sexy and rad...(if only our sweat pants and tee shirts at home looked this cute...)

Need a little outfit pick me up for going out or work?  Oh no problem...once again Zara will take care of you... Throw this on with jeans, shorts and a tee, over a flowy dress with boots and Done you are my friend. 

So after shopping and searching and looking and shopping and then shopping there are SOOOO many fantastic studded and spiked goodies for you to grab....we could post on and on and on but we know you have things to do (or buy now) so until next time... 

Happy Shopping Fashion Lovers!

Go forth and be bad ass!!!

xoxo things we heart

Fashion Friday: We heart strong shoulders (and woman)...

We heart Strong Shoulders!

What you are about to see is not for the faint at fashion...these are not your mother's shoulder pads.

Not to be confused with these..

They are not your 80's power suits or puff sleeved dresses (YUM!) ..but we do secretly loooove those still and we are both known to buy some on ebay from time to time.

These are strong shoulders...some are moulded...some are padded and some are just constructed but all are amazing.

Throw one of these pieces on and you are insta-chic..it's like stepping back into the future.

Here are some of our fav SS (Strong Shoulder) pieces for fall 2009

The House of Balmain really were responsible for securing the trend..they did it last season and are doing it for Fall and next spring too!

Although Margiela brought it back a few years ago..it was Balmain's chic and sleek shapes that won over fashionistas everywhere...

The King of moulded strong shoulders...the king of chic...you love him...we love him...Rick mother f'n Owens!
He has been doing the strong shoulder thang for a while and it always looks ridic! (in the good way of course) Loving the asymmetrical hem on this leather piece and high Victorian-esque collar to off set it. Yes and S'il vous plait!

Hello fake BF! Why do you do this to us? Why do you always take what we super heart and then put your fun and fashionable twist on it and make us love it even more!

Here is Marc Jacobs amazing rendition of a SS top...

P.S. This top is in a french terry...Yay he makes sweats look chic...

P.P.S. LOOOOVEEE the yellow gloves and bow tie! Yummmmmmmmy!

Can't afford MJs fantastical piece? Well then head over to our go to store for all that is fashion with out all the crap... Urban Outfitters.
This SS dress is reminiscent of MJs and super cute. Looks totally futuristic and fashiony with out being martiany... Looks amazing with those sheer black tights.

Throw it on with some over the knee boots and you are RTG!

Oh Zara...how do we love thee...sooooo super much! We just finished a crazy spree there and still heart every single piece we got (which is unusual...we usually get buyers remorse)

Their strong shoulder pieces...they have a ton right now... are the best we have seen at normal people prices..

Nitrolicious

We absolutely love this white silk SS top. It's so classy and chic and utterly wearable. We think it would look amazing with jeans or just a simple high waist skirt for an easy peasy yet super fashiony look.

Oh and Zara?...Please start your online store already! Geez!

Hi, super cute and uberly easy way to wear the SS trend. How are you?

Good? Yes you are. We totally heart this simple grey l/s top by Torn. Maybe not so much with these sheer front leggins but with skinny jeans and high ass booties...done and done chic-a-rella!

Here is another one of Zara's amazing pieces featuring this amazing trend.

So crisp and Parisian chic! You could literally wear flats and look totally RTG. Look out Miss Kruger...here we come!

Ready to take this uber fashion trend to the next level? Well here you go trail blazers... French Connection has one for you.
Remember when we said it's not for the faint of fashion...this gorge purple dress falls under that category for sure!

Want a crazy hot ass SS dress that makes you look like a super model in the streets of London?

Yes..it sounds like a tall order, but not in this amazing dress by Topshop...
We lurve how the seamed waist perfectly offsets the gorge SS drapes on top. You will look like a futuristic movie star of the '40s. See...back to the future!

OK, now we totally heart this perfect SS blazer by Marley (kinda a take on Balmain's piece) and it would be amazing this Fall/Winter (yes white in F/W...go here to figure it out) but we can't find it anywhere!!!
Ugh it's soooo good! Throw it over an Alexander Wang tee? Amazing!

Leave it to our go to for all that is hard to find...Ebay...to give us 2 trends in one. This studded, fitted, SS blazer is sick!

Ugh...it's really good..even if it is a wee bit over the top with trends...but with a drapey white tee and black skinny jeans? Perf and easy breasy stylisita!

Oh..it's you...the reason for this post and us crazy hearting this trend. Are you good Mr. Quilted Balmain SS jacket? Yeah ...you are...well you are actually great.
This look is TDF! So sleek, so chic, soooooooooo perfect!!!!!! But at over $13,500 (uh huh you read that right) we will just take inspiration from you and save ourselves a few thousand dollars...thanks though for inspiring us!

Well, what do we have here? Another fantasmic Ebay find? YUP!

WOW...perfection!!!!!

P.S. There are UBER bad ways to do this trend too...please take notes...

No...no Kim K!!!!

Bad Girl Estelle!

We hope we inspired you to dip your toe into the SS trend so you too can be Flash Back Futuristic...

But if not... don't worry...although we think it will stick around for a bit..you will be just as super cute as you always are in what ever you love to wear.

Have fun with fashion!...it's just fashion...but f'n fun! (hmmm did that make sense...maybe these shoulder pads are going to my head)

xoxo t.w.h.
