1st post & Blogger Background

Ok, so this is my first post, please be patient while I figure all this out.  One of my resolutions to myself is to express myself more creatively, so I am hoping this blog will be an artistic outlet of sorts.

Background:
I have a love of fashion and my own unique style sense.  I create jewelry and refashion clothes all the time.  My dear sweet friends are constantly asking me where I get things or how to mimic something that I have done, so I thought I would share some of my inspirations with you.  I love the dark side of things and have found inspiration in 78s/80s punk as well as post apocalyptic stories/movies.  I find the creativity of making fashion out of what you have around you fascinating. 

I would like to start off with a look that I think is a perfect DIY inspiration.  It has a sort of punk vibe that is executed in a very sophisticated manner.  The picture below is is from the Todd Lynn Spring 2012 collection.  I'm completely in love with that jacket & will have to see if I can somehow manage my own version.
