The Garb Wire’s themed ‘gift guide’ reflects who we are, crazed style obsessives who swing well to the left of the ordinary. For inspiration this year I selected album titles from Rolling Stone Magazine’s Top 500 Albums of all Time list published in 2012.
The first edit, She’s So Unusual, is the name of Cyndi Lauper‘s debut album of 1983. And so the inspiration pours from there, with that hard-to-buy-for dame in mind.
Click on the images for a closer look. At the end of each edit in the Style for Christmas series you’ll find a list of brands so you can shop online (and treat yourself in the process).
