Think leather, lace, zippers, and studs!!
Thanks to fellow fashionista Rich Hippie at http://rich-hippie.blogspot.com/ for her amazing rocker style and for finding the image at the top left of this post!
We all recognize those amazing studded Christian Louboutin booties - delish!
On the runways, designers were singing a similar tune!
At Rodnick, the nod to rocker chic was literal! Photo at left via style.com.
Dolce & Gabbana's rocker chic reference was a tad more buttoned-up, with a retro concert tee peeking out from beneath mountains of tartan.
We heart Bowie . . .
CC loves this look! Note the dramatic deep red lips, the silk cravat: it's all working!

Balmain - skin tight and shimmery - it's still rock and roll to me!
This and the following runway images in today's post are courtesy nymag.com.
Givenchy
Leather and lace? Yes and yes!!
Betsey Johnson . . . Fishnets and crimped hair do the (cheap) trick!
Jeremy Laing - shiny black and red really rock!
Salvatore Ferragamo
It doesn't get any shorter and tighter than this!
Alexander Wang The total look: skullcap, skimpy tank, zippered leather skirt, knee-high boots and black hosiery.
For all you aspiring rock stars:
How to look the part!
When it comes to dresses, the sexier, the better. But go short or low-cut, not both. Backless or sheer, not both.
You get the idea.

Alexander Wang silk chiffon backless tank dress, at shopbop.com.
Laila Azhar metallic twist front dress. Visit tobi.com.
You've seen their fab Latex leggings (which CC adores and would also highly recommend for this trend).

How hot is their Renata stretch lace dress with cutout back detail?

Love these, Dolce & Gabbana is a favourite of mine this season!
I like your variety. I've been a fan of the more polished rocker look so Im a fan of Dolce and Gabbana's collection. I also like the lace dress you picked out. I would love to own that.
sexy with an edge...what's not to like?
I could wear nothing but pieces from the Balmain, Rodnik and Alexander Wang collections and be perfectly happy....
I love this look so much! And that Kova & T Dress is a perfect mix of feminine and edgy.
this look never gets old. i love the alexander wang.
I'm so happy you commented on my blog because I love yours! I am devouring it. The Gucci 09 resort wear especially, which I would wear to that dream house you have posted. LOVE IT! I can't wait for September!!
Oh, hell yes! XD

hey thanks for your comments i love this post it's great perfect for my style!!!I'm a hippie mix with rocker and chic! I'm a mutant!!!LOL
Rock on!
Prue
Love it all!
I kind of agree with the whole grunge-rock and roll look. it's fun and sexy, and gives a legitimate excuse to stud clothing (in proportion of course.)
i love it all! givenchy and alexander wang are my favorites. and those studded louboutins are haunting me.
love the look!
have to dress Lady T in a rocker outfit someday ;)
take care!
I love anything rock n roll....it's just so hot :)
Ah, I love the rock look! I usually just wear the accessories instead though. I love my studded belt and bracelets. You have such great picks in this post, I really like the Jimmy Choo clutch!
Those Manolos are awesome!
I'm not really a rock chic, but I loved the bag from Anya Hindmarch:)
rockchick is probably my favourite style.
jimmy choo did boots really similar to those manolo ones.
i have them - they are so beautiful.
wowow. what an amazing post!
:)
i posted something new today, check it and comment it. x
I love this style, and loved all the outfits! (and the shoes, omg!)
Kisses
I always wanted to be a rocker chick. Classic rock is my favorite type of music. I just don't think I "look" rocker enough. But I love these! Such comprehensive coverage as well, I should save the post to an inspiration folder.
i love this style! i think paired with some accent colors i would totally rock it :)
SO what I'm into, great post! Love the Ferragamo look, and naturally the Alex Wang...swoon!
As a side note, I like the first photo but I find the model kind of gross
Hot stuff. Especially studs on boots.
Great post! I lvoe the Gryphon jacket and the best thing is that it is navy! Wow!
can't get enough of studs right now - the metal adornments AND cute boys!
I have always been a fan of rocker chick style. I love almost everything featured here!
great choices! i already own a few of those pieces...i am working on constructing a money tree...
Fabulous post! Rock & Roll 4 eva!
a little bit of rock & roll makes a boring outfit shines! I have a belt with studs (man's actually).. love wearing it with a plain white t with jeans...
I'm hanging out to get a bag.. Anya bag is cool. I'm digging CCSKYE's stud pieces ^__^
I was just going to post about shoes with studs! I was sitting on the fence when it came to chunky hardware and shoes.. but i kinda like the whole rock n roll looks u posted! x
love all of the clothes and the outfits!
such a great selection!!
I am 100% smitten with the rocker chick look and aspire to have my wardrobe be as cool as these looks...as always, great post!! Keep it up!
I like all of this, but only in moderation... i.e - a zip here and a stud there - but not everything at once.
love it! Makes me want to dress up like a Robert Palmer model:)
rock and roll is the best genre there is, his best seasons were the 70s, 80s and 90s. Thank God for rock and roll yeahhh!
