Musically inclined Holiday wish-list

Remember having a Christmas wish-list when you were a kid? Granted there are things you want that would make for the perfect gift(s) when you get older, however the novelity of a wish-list becomes a thing of Christmas past the older you get.

So, what do you get for the music lover on your shopping list? 

Concert tickets are always a good go to, current or up-coming tours permitting of course. How 'bout thinking outside of the box for musically inclined things to wrap up? Musicians don't only make music you know. 

For example: 

Oakland punks Green Day have their Oakland Brand, all organic, coffee. 

She hasn't release an album in years but along with Savage X Fenty Lingerie by Rhianna there's also her Fenty make-up line. 

Gwen Stefani has a stylish  L.A.M.B eye ware line. 

Dolly Parton has a few children's books out there. 

Work out like Madonna with her Addicted to Sweat video collection. 

Learn some new recipes from Action Bronson and one of his cookbooks. 

New music from one of my most favorite rock stars would rock, but some other works of hers are at the top of my (would be) wish-list. 

The Kills @ Outside Lands

Leading lady of The Kills and The Dead Weather, Alison Mosshart is a bonafide artist through and through. The Florida raised, Nashville dwelling, pants wearing, vegan is no doubt a rockstar, but she's also a painter, writer and fashionista. 

She's had art exhibits in L.A., New York and Nashville to show off her abstract, avant garde paintings and earlier this year she released her first book: a collection of photos, poems and short stories called CAR MA. Growing up, Alison Mosshart's mother was a high school art teacher and her father,  a used car dealer. CAR MA is a love letter to the motor car, a book about rock N rock and love. The author staes that "It's a book about America, performance, and life on the road. It's a book about fender bender portraiture, story tellin' tire tracks, and the never ending search for the spirit under the hood." Is there anything she does that isn't cool? CAR MA is available via Dover Street Market.

R13 x Alison Mosshart Collection 

Alison rocks, obviously, and so does her fashion. This year she took it to the next level. Her first fashion collaboration is a collection with the New York label, R13. Her eccentric line is fierce and oh so rock N roll with price tags to match. 

My favorite pieces are the fuzzy, over-sized, blue zebra print sweater and the super skinny, army green + neon pink, cheetah print jeans. 

 I wouldn't have thought to wear these two together but Alison pulls this look off like the rock star that she is. 

This outfit alone is nearly $1,500 and that's why it is on my (would be) wish-list. The whole Alison Mosshart collection is rad, again I ask, is there anything she does that isn't?
