Spread Your Fall & Winter Wings

Yesterday was cool enough that I needed to wear a jacket in the evening-- a super light jacket, but a jacket nonetheless! It made me incredibly excited for fall, which is my favorite season, and for the end of summer, which is decidedly my least favorite.

All this thinking about cooler weather made think about just plain cold weather, which I also love, so I thought today's style inspiration a la Freddie would come from the "Spread Your Wings" and "We Will Rock You" videos. Apologies for the dreadful quality; I had to do screencaps from my iTunes.

Aren't Freddie's star-shaped sunnies both cheeky and chic?

Living On My Own

I have always wanted to throw a party like Freddie's 39th birthday Black&White Drag Ball. But that's mostly because I've seen the music video for 'Living On My Own' (it's embedded at the end of the post! Watch it). To that end, here's our outfit for today:

Items in this set:
Harlequin Dress, $130
Black bead embellished military jacket, 40 GBP
Confetti Large Open Rose Spray in Fuchsia
GOLDIE, 9 GBP
Elie Tahari - Kimberly Clutch (Gold) - Bags and Luggage, $200

I have a thing for harlequin and I'm really happy about finding that dress. Find a semi-dressy party to go to, lovelies, and make it your very own personal black & white (& gold, apparently!) ball.

It looks like a great party. I don't know if most of the footage for the music video is actually from the party or if they recreated it later. It does appear that his solo album Mr. Bad Guy would have had the budget for that, but that's besides the point, and a whole lot less fun. You know what IS fun? THIS VIDEO.
