#JAWBREAKING

Bam!

I don't know maybe it's just me but every time I think of Jawbreaking I think of a fight. 

*maybe because someone's jaw could break in a fight... I just...*

Okay sorry guys for my utter weirdness, but today I'm going to be talking about the wonderful independent clothing brand: Jawbreaking.

If you don't know about Jawbreaking, you're missing out but you should already know about them because one of their shirts was in my April Favorites, duh.

You already knew that though so let's move on. 

Jawbreaking as stated is an independent clothing brand based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. It was founded by 21 year old Aly Silverio in 2008 at the age of 15.

15.

Does that mean I should be building my own empire by now? Probably.

Anyways, instead of decided to go find a real job Aly took the idea of making jewelry, that summer she started in her bedroom and by the end of that summer she had no other plans than to ensure that Jawbreaking went big. 

Now Jawbreaking is smashing the game and the inspiration as said by Aly is just from 'LIFE.' 

And we all live right? 

Jawbreaking is now sold in stores all across the United States, worn by celebrities around the world , and has become extremely prominent in the world of social media. 

I personally would describe Jawbreaking as girly grunge. That probably sounds stupid I know but they have some items that are grunge-y such as:

 



Wannabes Will Never Be
I'm Over It


Drama Queen

Sold My Soul


Wanderer

Yet they have flowy, more girly pieces as well:

Cookie Phases

Pineapple Vibes


Left My Heart in Paris
Dreamchaser
LA X NY
These are some of my personal favorites. Jawbreaking had a sample sale in May and I totally should have taken pictures and such but I didn't, but my Jawbreaking collection includes:

No Scrubs Allowed
University of Life (discontinued, sorry)
Will Work For Shoes
Peace, Love, and Happiness
Jawbreaking Logo Shorts (discontinued as well)
and Work Hard, Sleep Harder.
