Cherrybomb

Hi People!

It's been a while when did my last blogpost, but today I'll show u a new great outfit a la The Mermale with a new look going on. I'm still in the 90's kinda vibe but always with different items from men and unisex/woman clothing/accessoires. 
For this outfit I was inspired by the baddest rock and roll queen Joan Jett from Joan Jett and the blackhearts. She was in my vision one of the first artist that was really androgyness and such a badass with her electric gitar. For me a fashion inspo with her black leather jackets, DIY tees, glitters, biker boots, black hair and playing one hell of a rough gitargame. Before she became famous as Joan Jett from ''Joan Jett and the Black hearts'', she was a vocal and guittarist in the girl rockband called The Runaways, with her vocal galpal Cheri Currie aka ''Cherrybomb''. 
There was a movie released in 2010  called The Runaways which is a MUST SEE! With a great styling of fashion in the 70's rock and roll, great cast (and performances by Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart), great movieshots and awesome music. Check it out and you'll understand ;).

This cherry red leather jacket I got from Zara, the black stretch pants is from J.C.RAGS, these necklaces are from the online shop SHOPJEEN(check them out on Intsagram:@shopjeen), and these gemstone braceletts are from Hype Heroes, check them also out on Instagram: @hypeheroes !! And these shoes I'm wearing are new that I bought online at https://www.corbetosboots.com/ and they are based in Barcelona. The Shoes are the black texas oil negro leather boots with a 4" heel and 3 1/2" platforms from Buffalo.

90's Rave inspired

Goodmorning Folks,

For this blogpost I would like to tell a cool story about the bomberjacket I'm wearing for this outfit. I always thought that the original bomber jacket is something from the late 80's/90's but it goes waaaaaaaaayyyy back. 

It was mostly seen at some thereotype subcultures as punk, 90's rave, skinheads and 'gabbers', but I never knew that it started as a military Flight jacket, worn at World War I & II. It was created for pilots. the trend started at 1915 in the US army to keep the pilots warm during flying.   

It was set up a manufacturing trend in the United Kingdom in 1926, and became the main outwear of flight jackets for the Royal Air Force during most of world war II. 

However, the demand during the early years of the war was so great that the Irvin company engaged subcontractors, which explains the slight variations of design and colour that can be seen in early production of the Irvin flying jackets.

I styled this look using this jacket more like people did in the 90's rave subcultures, because that fits my personal style more. The 90's rave trend is huge right now...cropped tops mixed with neon and geek chic. 

It was upcoming that time to experiment with diffrent hairstyles, not only for girls but also for boys like braids, dots, colored and shaved hairstyles or a combination of them. With this look I would like to bring the hairstyle back to the street, that can be worn for a casual look. Thanks Luciënne for the hair!

The Bomber jacket is from Episode, the blue jeans is from Levi, the netshirt is from Antony Morato and the black pattent shoes are the 2.0 wings Adidas designed by Jeremy Scott .

Adidas Chicago Bulls

Hi Guys,

For this outfitpost I wanted to show you a darker look than you are used to see at my blog.The colors are black, red and anthracite for this look.


I found this real cool Chicago Bulls basketball Jersey for sale at the Adidas shop. Couldn't resist to not buy this top. Its officially a NBA (national basketball association) shirt. For the people who don't know the NBA, it's one of the biggest national sport competitions in north america, since 1949. Before that it was called BAA (Basketball Association of America). In 1966 were the Chicago Bulls born and a part of the NBA.

Its a short sleeve shirt, what's a bit cold for this season. 
So styled this outfit to show you a more fall look. The black leather, fake fur hoodie makes the outfit wearable at any time, nice for the cold weather and is really comfortable. To keep a bit of edge in the outfit I choose my vintage 90's platform shoes/creepers
shoes to wear underneath. I bought these shoes in Rotterdam at a dumpstore a few years ago. 

The hoodie is from Sneaker Freak, the black cap and the wax jeans are both from H&M, the Jersey basketball
top is from Adidas, bracelets are from Weekday and from the market.

Have a great start of the week!
