Prince of Rags

In my mind, there is no one greater than Keith Richards.

I think that is self evident in the preceding posts.

But in my mind he is also one of the greatest style icons for rock and roll.

There is something about his disheveled appearance that

draws you in.

I'm a fan of his scarves, hats and hair accessories in older age.

I especially enjoy that Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow was based off Keith's looks and attitude.

I also severely enjoy his flamboyant side in his early years

like the giant afghan coat and purple velvet pants.

But nothing is more iconic than the Keith and Anita couple

who would wear each others clothes interchangeably.

Long Live Keith

Something Like That

Everyone's fav. "lady of the evening",

Lindsay Lohan is one of my style icons.

It doesn't matter how fucked up she is or how ratty her weave is,

Lilo has some style.

The Wild One

Think of her as a troll, a bag lady, or an attention desperate twin,

MK is a style icon.

I grew up watching her and I am still overly obsessed with her.

Whether she is sporting over sized sunglasses, plaid, fur, or a bag lady ensemble,

Mary Kate is a source of inspiration.

She practically pioneered that BoHo chic movement

and is an unofficial promoter for Starbucks.

Check out A Very Mary Kate for some endearing laughs.

Wild Charms

Alison Mosshart from The Kills.

Mad style.

It's in the way she smokes her cigarettes,

In the way she wears fur coats and leopard print everything.

It's in the way her crazy hair flows so carefree

and those ladykiller golden boots.

I admire her "I don't give a fuck attitude."

Playing with Fire

She's your Cherry Bomb.

Cherie Currie from the Runaways.

A definite style icon of the late 70's.

A little bit of Bowie, a little bit of teenage sex kitten

rolled into one.

I love her silver lame jump suits, Bowie shirts,

scarves, and sun bleaches Valley girl vibes.

Golden Stone

The dashing Golden Stone.

At first I thought Brian Jones was just a bloated drug addict when

I saw him on Rock and Roll Circus,

but slowly over time he has grown on me and I have learned

to embrace his style.

He was the most glam Stone, wearing velvet smoking jackets, scarves, and fur coats.

He was the first to charm Anita Pallenberg and that shows

that he must have had intense style.

The golden stone could of had the world, but he lost it all.

Inspiration

So I decided June will be the month of

STYLE ICONS.

And who better to kick us off (a day late)

that the beautiful Krystal Simpson.

She has a fresh take on mens wear and vintage style

that I find irresistible.

When I grow up, I want to be just like Krystal Simspson.
