Wishlist: punk punk riot grrrls

Show your indie spirit off to the world and have a little riot with your wardrobe on your days off. There's no need to be afraid of being a little different (in fact that's half the fun!). Chuck on your favourite band tee to show the world what's blasting on your iPod, chuck on some old Doc's, a little bling and away you go...

Recycled bullet necklaces with titanium quartz
Be a tough chick and throw caution and diamonds to the wind. Swap conventional bling for this crystal bullet necklace (above) from Xuanqi. Made with rough cut titanium quartz in a recycled copper bullet and mounted on an antique plated brass chain, do as Sia does and show your inner titanium strength.

Say what you really mean with Spirit Ink
Evelyn, Jennifer and Sophia of Spirit Ink are cool kids from LA who let you say what you really, really want to (including this f*ck temporary ink and other options for more polite company). Offering (con)temporary tattoos for those of us who can't commit to anything more permanent than a few days, these ladies are one of my Etsy faves.

Gogol Bordello t-shirt in dark grey
Gogol Bordello unisex t-shirt (above) from PunknRockPlus1, featuring Eugene Hutz and the coolest mustache in gypsy punk rock. Wear your guitar hero on your sleeve or all out guns blazing on your chest for the world to see. Whether you prefer Patti Smith telling you to f*ck the clock or Johnny Cash sticking it to the man, be sure to show off what floats your boat.

Handmade riot grrrl embroidery patch
DIY and customize! If you are a clever bunny, get out the embroidery and spice up your favourite tee with your own special sauce. Otherwise have a wee search and you will find gems like this riot grrrl embroidery patch (above) from French based Etsy store Isn't Anything.

Moon phase hand printed shorts
Californian based Nerdy Youth Denim Co have a great selection of hand printed and reconstructed denim for those of us who yearn to live forever in blue (or black) jeans. Whether it is a pair of high waisted Moon phase cut-offs (above) or black shredded skinny jeans, make sure that your denim style is different from the girl next door. Keep warm on colder days by layering up with a pair of winter tights or thigh highs from Sock Dreams in Portland, Oregon (they are superstars and offer international shipping for us Kiwi peeps).

The perfect boots


Vintage floral print Dr Martens
Act like a lady and say it with flowers. Let your feet do the talking with no nonsense vintage floral print Dr Martens (above) from Renegade Revival in Boston, Massachusetts. Show off a touch of floral charm and prove that you're still a nice girl at heart. If you are lacking a romantic streak there are plenty of other options, including a cosmic goth version hand painted by Josefina Flello Martinez in Birmingham, UK.
