Rocker Chick

Posted on 19:22 by kumar
This pic isn't the greatest but I hope it does some justice to the fab charm necklace by Toronto designer Joan Kreitzer. The price may not be grunge-queen, but in a way the piece is truly grunge-queen, rocker-inspired with a blue suede string strung through with silver charms and Swarovski crystals. Kreitzer made a bunch of these and similar neck pieces for Canadian Idol - I love the contrast of frayed leather and pretty bling!

I wore it tonight to a cocktail party with a thrift outfit: a cheapie Zara tunic, vintage Bergdorf Goodman black quilted jacket, Bongo jeans and my blue strappy booties (dubbed my rocker-chick boots by my sis), pictured below.

Grunge-queen goes rocker glam.
