Guys and girls who like chicks who play in indie bands (i.e. 100% of our readership) might be interested in heading out to Cake Shop on Saturday to check out this bill composed almost entirely by female musicians.

Saucy ladies play indie rock with punk attitude

Teen pop-punk doesn't get better than this -

Nan is the "mother" of Olive Juice Music and drummersinger in Lo-Fi heroes Schwervon!
1st: The Fancy
All female orchestral pop treat ruined by the only guy in the bill (just kidding, we are just envious actually).

CBOF STYLE: Get Wild!

Care Bears on Fire's Girls (Jena, Sophie and Izzy) aren't afraid of rocking most shocking patterns, funny t-shirts, or even lovely laces, and, overall, they aren't afraid of showing their wild side on their clothes and patterns. Mixing leopard, cheetah, zebra or anything else that comes down to wild, with colors is maybe, one of their favorite activities! This is not a news post, it's a fanclub post, where I'll post about her style, hair, etc. Check about their wild side here!

(From the top to the bottom, left to right: Sophie, Jena and Izzy in colorful zebra and leopard tights; Izzy with a purple dungarees and Jena into a zebra dress; Izzy with leopard shorts)



Izzy is usually with leopard clothes, colorful or not (as the dungarees or the classic leopard print shorts), but Jena looks like prefering classic black and white patterns, I mean, not that down to colorful (tights and dress). Sophie, well, Sophie is wild, she likes everything wich is rebel, colors and patterns and everything that makes her special. I think Sophie and Izzy are the wildest ones of the band, I feel Jena like more of wearing laces and those things, but she has beautiful clothes too.

Get the look!

Hey, so, wanna look like Sophie, Izzy and Jena? Here are some clothes you can get inspired on!

 

(From the top to the bottom: Pink Black Ladies Hoodies in pink and classic zebra, oneposter.com ; American Apparel zebra print leggings, americanapparel.net ; Flowers by Zoe Zebra Print Leggings (Toddler), nordstrom.com ; BackPack Bag in purple zebra, hottopic.com ; purple leopard ballerinas by UltraGirl, edgeofurge.com ; bikini by Billabong ; Cheetah Volleyball Short, rue21.com ; Lace-up Leopard Print Shorts, yesstyle.com ; Cheetah Print Racerback Tank, rue21.com )

Actually, the leopard shorts are too similiar to Izzy's ones, aren't they?

So, here are some clothes that have cool mixes of colors and wild prints. Actually, this fashion was also taken by big boutiques as Dolce & Gabbana and others, take a look:

So what you think of these clothes? Of the Style? Of how CBOF girls wore it? Tell me on your comments!

I spent most of the night with the Care Bears on Fire girls, Sophie, Izzy, and Jena, who had one of the most invigorating and invigorated performances of the night and were so cool/nice/funny and made me wanna be in a band. I also appreciate the way their collective hairs create a Powerpuff Girls-esque spectrum.
