Anonymous asked: so, I’m going to be living at the beach this summer. I have no idea how to dress for 100 days of fun in the sun and surf. the longest I’ve ever spent at the beach has been about a week. and that was back in the day when I looked very much straight. I need to rock my lesbian beach bum swag and I have no idea how to do it.

Beach Bum swag, equipped with pick-up line. You’re welcome.

facetofacewiththesky asked: I need help with my "bad boy" look! How do I stay rebellious during summer?

First stop, A-shirts/tank tops: Hanes or Fruit of the Loom are good and you can get them in packs. Try boys if you’re small.

Fruit Of The Loom Boys 5-pack A-Shirt Tanks, available here

Hoodies: I mean you still need them in the summer, right? To go over your tank top when it gets cold.

ASOS Zip-through Hoodie, available here

Big watches: Either G-shock or a big-ass silver or gold chonograph watch. (And don’t tell people your grandma got it for you.)

G-shock GA-100 Limited Edition in White, available here

Shoes: Sports sneakers or high tops. Adidas, Nike, Supra, Puma. Bad boy and sporty are often synonymous. Check out Ashley rocking her Supras here.

Supra Tumbled Action Leather, available here

Hats: Maybe you’d be interested in adding a snapback; check out this post of Ashley.

Posse Obey Snapback, available here

WHAT NOT TO DO:

Wallet chains, dog tags, other types of chains: They look cool when Justin Bieber does it, but how likely is it that any of us could really pull them off?

Leather Cuffs, or anything in leather: I’m not saying they could never work, but they will probably come off as trying too hard.

Tattoos: I mean do it, but you didn’t hear it from me.

Let me tell you a story about a queer who found great deals on all her clothes and put together a preppy and beautifully detailed outfit. Mimi (http://loverofstories.tumblr.com) has a knack for putting unique outfits together with bold color and pattern combinations, and I will be posting about her in parts. This first outfit combines a navy blazer with an emblem, a checkered shirt, a green knit tie, and a blue and red watch band. 

Wiltshire Check Button Down Collar Shirt, available at Ben Sherman for $77

Her tie is from Lord and Taylor and thrifted. They don’t appear to have them any more, but here’s a strikingly similar one at Neiman Marcus for $180. (Sorry, it’s the best I got.)

Her watch band is from eCrater, and the face is from Kenneth Cole. 

Her blazer is from Ralph Lauren, but they don’t sell the same one now. The closest I could find was the Rhoda Cotton Blazer, available at Ralph Lauren for $209

Moral of the story: Go to thrift stores, because you never know what amazing brands you’ll find. Get creative with matching, because you’ll be surprised at what might go together.

I attended the Keshet Cabaret last night and was excited to get to wear my new Topman pants again. I’d also like to note that I got new black socks from American Apparel and they are really comfy and well-priced! So I’d recommend something like this for your next queer cocktail party.

• Glasses: Adrienne Vittadini
• Bow Tie: My brother’s closet muah haha
• Sweater Vest: Old Navy “Boys Argyle V-Neck Sweater Vest” 
• Button-up: Banana Republic, Non-iron fitted sateen shirt 
• Watch: 666 Barcelona
• Pants: Topman Black Textured Skinny Suit Trousers
• Socks: American Apparel Lightweight Cotton Blend Calf-High Sock
• Shoes: Bass ”Ely Gobi Suede”

Looking for a new watch? Our picks — ranging from $65 to $380 — will give you some ideas on adding some statement to you rocking outfit. From sporty to sleek to classic, these brands are the ones that inspire our fashion aesthetics.

1. 666 Barcelona, Colour Triple Time Zone ($170)

Comfortable and durable. Every time I look at it I feel like I’m diving into a sea of beauty. Every time people ask me what the other time zones are set to, I pretend to have clients in Australia and Japan. You can see me wearing this minimalist triple timezone gem here.

2. Rosendahl Flemming Bo Hansen QA Analog Plain Face Wrist Watch ($380)

As simple as it gets. Can you read it? Doesn’t even matter.

3. G-shock, Classic Casino ($110)

The ultimate sport watch. Some inner working are actually floating inside to shell so that it can absorb shock. The thing apparently never breaks, so it’s a good bet if you like to skateboard/snowboard/bike/swim/throw yourself off planes. See Ashley sporting it here.

4. Braun ($215)

A sleek square face giving you some personality but away from the limelight. Featured in this post.

5. Diesel ($295)

If badass means having a watch that tells time 4 different ways, I want in!

6. Tikkr ($65)

Simple, comfy, and lots of colors with exchangeable bands! Wonderfully unisex. See me in it.

7. Rolex Submariner (don’t ask)

It’s always nice to dream.

Submitted by Haylie in Norfolk, Virginia, this whole picture is pretty great (I clearly don’t spent enough time chilling under overpasses) but I’m particularly smitten with her shoes. She seems to be combining a skater and hipster look, which for the record, I’m totally down with.

• Hat: Urban Outfitters
• Shirt: H&M
• Watch: Vans (no longer available)
• Pants: Converse from Target
• Shoes: Botas from TOMS

Of course I ended up stalking the shoes. I think it’s funny that one of the few negative rating they received on the TOMS website was from someone complaining that they made her feet look like men’s feet. What a disaster!

Available here

She bought the watch 3 years ago and it doesn’t seem that Vans carries them anymore. But here’s a similarly shaped watch I’ve been ogling by Braun. Somehow the women’s version is $15 less. Why watches need to be separated by gender I will never understand.

Ashley and her friend Sarah from the controversial “Fashion Police Lesbian Edition” video have one more thing in common: a love for varsity jackets. These the high school popular-kid nostalgia pieces seem to be especially popular now, though never really went out of style. Forever 21 has about 10 different kinds, but based on my experience with their clothing quality compared to H&M — which goes for the same price — I’d recommend H&M’s version for women.

• Ashley’s Outfit
• Hat: The Hundreds SnapBack  
• Jacket: Forever 21 ”Letter Jacket,” women’s
• Belt: Urban Outfitters
• Jeans: Levi’s
• Watch: G-Shock
• Necklace: Rosary from some booth in the mall

• Sarah’s Outfit
• Hat: LA fitted
• Jacket: Forever 21
• Shirt: Henley from Topman
• Necklace: American Eagle
