In contrast, I do exhibit most of the girly girl stereotypes – loving lipsticks and liners, living for shopping, and willingness to die for the perfect pair of shoes. I just couldn’t seem to separate pink from prissy. But this tattooed duo from Rock Rebel has put pink back on the color charts. These glitter bombs add the perfect punch to any outfit. Sass up cocktail attire or blow the boring out of your everyday denim.  Struggling to resist the sparkly vegan vinyl of the Winged Rose Headband and matching True Love Wrist Clutch, I’m finding them less out of place and more in good tatse. Despite Katy Perry’s words of wisdom, I’m suddenly and unexpectedly all for this glittery get-up.

Some of you cool kids may even know the sweet story behind the legendary tattoo artist, Don Ed Hardy, for whom the line was named. Anyone who catches a glimpse of me on a regular basis can easily attest to my serious addiction to this signature label. It comprises the majority of my once-well-rounded wardrobe. While it may just be a passing trend for some, it’s definitely left a permanent dent in my closet – surprising considering many of the items from the Ed Hardy collection are hardly animal-friendly. While I take refuge in comfy cotton tees and luxe loungewear, I find myself sorely disappointed whenever I browse their seasonal accessories line-up. Everything from bags to bracelets is completely overwhelmed with leather. Even canvas covered clutches sport a touch of leather detailing or an unsympathetic strap.

But today, I have found the Holy Grail of the Ed Hardy handbags. The City Burner Birmingham Hobo ditches cow hide for durable nylon fabric without sacrificing the ever-present Ed Hardy sass and edge. Plus, its perfect size means I’ll be putting it to everyday use. This purchase not only makes a delightful new addition to my stash, but also reaffirms my love for the label.

Dear Christian A.,
I’ll never doubt thee again.

Signed,
Obsessively Yours
