You Know I’m No Good

Posted on July 31, 2011 | 24 Comments

Old News: Amy Winehouse is dead.

Honestly, can’t say I’m surprised, but that doesn’t make it any less tragic. When her first singles came out I was all over them. I found her so relatable with her alcoholic references, tattoos, and her pin up retro inspired style. Her raspy voice was engaging, reminiscent of something out of her time.

I’ve done a beehive hairdo for myself on many occasions, and with the IFB Project #7 to do a tribute post I thought what a great way to honor someone whose style I’ve always loved.

I for one will be sad to no longer see her effortlessly cool style popping up anymore.
