Feeling Blue, and That's a Good Thing

How cute are they?

I would like to point out that Our Muse is totally wearing a Hawaiian print shirt under that snappy blue number. It's punchy but subtle and I looooove it. Miss Mary Austin, Freddie's lifelong best friend and former lover, looks incredible (and judging by her interviews for Freddie's 60th birthday films, she STILL looks incredible) and guess what? Her look is way easier to borrow. Big florals are back in major way this year--thanks, D&G.

I've done His & Hers below:

Items in this set:

Jada Floral Dress, $36
Distorted Floral Sheen Dress, $23
London - Slim fit Suit, The Byard, 660 GBP
American Eagle AE Men's Sunwashed Hawaiian Shirt Navy, $35

and I've done a feminized, much more casual version of Freddie's look here, which is more "inspired by" and a lot less literal:

Items in this set:
Daytrip Jeweled Tank Top, $28
Linen Blazer, $86
Sass & Bide New Nights Jean, $68
read my lipstick - wanted (strawberry red), 13 GBP
Fade To Black Nail Color, $16

Enjoy!

Some Day One Day

Lovelies, let's talk about this blazer:

It's awesome and baroque and Look! It's versatile! Freddie and Roger Taylor used to sell vintage clothing out of a stall in a London market before Queen took off--I think actually even before Freddie was a member of the band, back when he was just rooming with Roger and Brian May, who were a part of a band called Smile with another vocalist. I digress. My point is, I'm sure this blazer is a one of a kind piece, since these pictures appear to be taken very early in the band's career (My expertly educated guess says no later than 1974, but Freddie probably had this for a while. He seemed to wear things to death, in many different ways. I love that).

Here's what I've put together for you:

And it's ebay FTW! I searched "black floral blazer" under "Vintage" and got a lot of great stuff, and this one was the closest to the picture. I have helpfully put the rest of the outfit together for you. You're welcome. I'm pretty sure however you can't buy the knowing looks and deep brown eyes depicted above. More's the pity. Enjoy!
