This is such a fantastic song- and possibly the best kick the bottom that anyone could wish for in the first Style Soundtrack of 2012. Do anything you wanna do.

Ah, it's been forever since I've done a Style Soundtrack. Literally ever. And it's totally my favourite Dedicated feature. So I'm giving it some face time.
Now this post is far more revealing than it should be. Supernatural is one of my favourite shows, Jensen Ackles is one of my favourite men (Mr Style aside obviously) and Dean Winchester, well he's really fricking awesome. So wouldn't want to be him, even in lady form.... ;)
Yes. I'm a geek.
So listen to Kansas, bathe in it's musical and theatrical glory and fantasise about Jensen Ackles. Just me then?
No. Seriously.

Once again I’m writing a Style Soundtrack about a song that’s not super new, but I can’t help myself! Ever since I heard “Cuddle Fuddle” by Passion Pit I’ve loved its unique synth sounds. They remind me of a mashup between Of Montreal and Arcade Fire with the crazy high vocals, special production effects, and big band sound.
In this outfit I tried to capture the essence of the song while at the same time just following my intuition, because that’s what the song reminds us to do. It sounds woefully cheesey, but there’s something so eager and nostalgic about the push and pull with the lyrics. One moment he wants his love, the next he says, “And I don’t want to see/ That you’re coming along with me.” I think everybody remembers their first love and the flood of emotions that accompany it, which this song captures perfectly.
I mixed whimsical romantic pieces with sharper utilitarian lines to mimic the songs duality. The dress symbolizes the first happy, freeing moments of new love, while the boots are heavy to mimic the trudging along when the relationship goes south. The black shrug and accessories finish off the outfit with a modicum of uncertainty while the rose clips symbolize a youthful, joyful vibe.

Matt and Kim are an
infectious dance duo from Brooklyn, New York. Their song “Good Ol’ Fashion
Nightmare,” while not a new release, has been stuck in my head for weeks
because of its insanely addicting beats. The music intertwines the perfect mix
of dance and edge that I tried to recreate in this outfit.
I wanted to make an outfit
that you could go out and dance to, but something a little elevated from the
same old boring clubwear. To mimic the duo, this outfit is all black and white
with gold accents. This two tone Asos dress is perfect, and it’s made out of
comfortable jersey so you can dance all night long in it! Accessorize with an
oversized androgynous cardigan, a studded hair clip, and a simple black clutch.
Studded zipper heels complete the look, adding that bit of edge Matt and Kim
are known for.
