Waiting For The Storm

Lately the weather has been cloudy like on the verge of a storm...

Although it's overcast it hasn't rained much where I lived. There have been storms but they've been in nearby areas.

I wish it would actually rain. Sometimes there will be a light rain but it disappears usually in some minutes. Because of this it's been more humid (and still hot) many days.

So this time I'm showing another outfit that I think is pretty versatile. It's still casual especially with the tank top. But you could easy layer this to dress it up more.
But honestly it's way to hot to add anymore layers here at least haha.

Btw I'm sure you might have noticed, I changed my hair to purple!
It's a nice fun change and I really enjoy this change.

The shirt is long cut, which is the first time I've tried this. It seems trickier to wear but I liked how it looked with more slim fitting pants.
The boots are also brand new! And the style is totally new to me. As I never wear boots with such a low cut.

Summer Goth

Hi guys, sorry I did disappear again a bit. I swear this time I'm honestly back (and actually home).
I've had a lot going on and a lot of personal stuff to take care of.
But right now that I'm getting some extra recovery time I'm devoting it to things like my blog again. <3
I've been meaning to share one of my Summer looks. Now I'll be honest it's really difficult wearing all black in the Summer heat. Actually painful honestly so most of us really just stay inside as much as possible... but you know when you do have to go outside somewhere, MAKE IT COUNT. XP

Here I'm wearing a simple graphic tee with a cool Sphinx cat with a fishnet underneath. I've always loved layering fishnets under other shirts because they instantly make a shirt more cool. And I just like how it looks.
The cat tshirt is actually a crop top which isn't something I normally do but it's Summer and the trend is back (for some reason).

This is me with my bitch face wanting Summer to be over because I hate it and it's hot AF in AZ.


I also took some pictures with a friend of mine for a change. We actually have been taking photos every once and awhile this whole year which has been fun. :3

I used some other jewelry just to add to the outfit a bit. I love rings and recently got some random ones just so I'd have some I could wear more regularly.
And of course my platforms are Qozmo - Sky from YRU. <3
I love them because they are so high.

Crop Top: Killstar
Fishnet: Lip Service
Pants: Hot Topic
Shoes: YRU

My Return!

Hey guys!
Back with an update!
I know this year I haven't been around that much (sorry about that!).
I've kinda been through a lot this year but the good news is I have still been doing a lot of work that I have yet to share here (and even elsewhere)!

I thought I'd share some looks I did already but hadn't posted yet.

I thought this vest was interesting, and although it's like a synthetic fur it actually has a really high quality and luxurious look. The fabric reminds me of something like an exotic bird's feathers.
I remember picking up this vest during the winter. It's still a lightweight material so it was appropriate to wear through the Winter as it's just not that cold in Arizona.

The rest of the outfit it shows a necklace I got for myself but I can't remember where from anymore!
And the rest of my outfit is a pretty common what I'd say standard outfit for myself. A plain black tank is so useful and I can never have too many as they tend to disappear or wear out quickly. But, I can layer them with pretty much anything.
I'm also always trying to get enough skinny pants with some interesting little details. These pants had the black cord lacing at the sides which I thought was a cool touch but still subtle enough to not be so distracting or hard to pair with.

If you recognize the pants, I'm wearing my beloved Demonia CLASH platform boots. <3
For me these will always be in style.

I still have more to share, so I'll do my best to update again soon!

What I'm wearing:
Vest: Rue21
Necklace: I forgot ^^;
Pants: Forever21
Boots: Demonia

Brand: PUNKRAVE

 As I introduced in my previous post, I wanted to elaborate more on the brand punkrave.
Punkrave is one of my favorite clothing brands! I was first introduced to them from various sellers on ebay many years ago. And over the years I've managed to get a little collection of some of their items.
Some of the things I own, I believe are retired designs even I no longer see for sale usually.
But they are always adding new stuff that just as quickly I fall in love with. <3

Cloak link

Since I first started buying their clothes I noticed how the style of their clothes, especially the gothic clothes really started to become more mature and elegant. It's still unique but has a look of sophistication to it.
Which is totally my kind of style.

Velvet Coat link

I particularly love their beautiful gothic style clothes. The nice thing about their brand is they actually have a diverse selection for both men and women. Similarly some of the items work well unisex too and I own items for both the women's and men's designs.
They just have so many cool designs and the quality is actually pretty good. Like I notice a lot more intricate little details on the fabric, lace etc. than many other alternative style brands.


I absolutely love their gothic jackets. A lot of them have such a cool blend of gothic and punk styles that they just look really unique.

One of my favorite items is this leather style coat (me on the right!)

They have some really pretty gothic victorian dresses too!
Really they just have a lot of super cool clothes that it is difficult to not just wish you owned everything from their store practically.

Hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about one of my favorite clothing brands.

Black Summer

I've been meaning to share some of my Summer outfits!

Especially as instead of typical bright Summer clothes, of course I keep most of what I wear to just a black color scheme.

So heres one of my recent outfits. I actually really liked this one as it's a little different than what I'm used to myself. It's more an eccentric goth look.

 What I like about this long cardigan is it instantly adds drama with it's length but it's lightweight so it's not bulky and is appropriate for warmer weather. If it's too hot to wear during the day, throw it on for the evening. It'll look amazing draping behind you as you walk...

I'm also not a big hat person, but they're so popular and in-style and I've been seeing more appealing ones the last couple years. What I liked about this one was it was black velvet and it's texture actually shows a lot better in person. But I love velvet so that kinda made me want to try it.


 I also took some shots without the long cardigan, which made the outfit a little simpler but actually shows more of the details of some of the other clothes better. Plus it's a little more appropriate for the heat in the daytime. 

Also first time I wore those new earrings! I really love the silver crescent moons but they're a bit too heavy for me... x.x
So, I've put them for sale (link below in the outfit details).

Outfit 
(with links to items)

Boots: YRU
Pendant: Hex Asylum
Shirt: Bodyline
Pants: Royal Bones (Hot Topic)
Earrings: Vintage
Hat: Killstar (Dollskill)
Sunglasses: Midnyte Fantasy

Hope you enjoyed this outfit!
I will definitely try to share some of my other dark Summer outfits before it ends as well. :3


 P.S. Last picture shows a close-up of the crystal pendant I'm wearing.
Such a pretty necklace, I love it. <3

Wig Review for RoleCosplay

Today's review is for the website RoleCosplay!

RoleCosplay is a cosplay website that supplies costumes and accessories. They also have a ton of cosplay style wigs!

I'll be showing you my my two newest wigs I got from their site.

The first is a blue asymmetrical cut wig. It's super cool! I love the unique cut and style. The wig is short but with two long sections at the sides.
On the rolecosplay website this wig is suggested as a wig for the character Asada Shino from the Sword Art Online series.

Click this link to find this wig for sale!

The second wig is a long wig. I really found the color for this wig unique to any of the other wigs I've owned. I love the pale pastel blue color. I've been curious to try this color on myself sometime and as this was a great way of doing so! Especially without damaging my hair at all.

Whats really nice about this long wig is that the fibers feel thicker and stronger. So they don't seem to get really tangled like many other long wigs.
I still advise you to brush your wigs with a soft brush or a wig brush if you have one.
And I've noticed when I do so with this wig it smooths out quite well.

Click this link to find this wig for sale!

I am very happy with the wigs from RoleCosplay.
There are so many other wigs I also saw and liked so I definitely plan to look around more too.

As I also mentioned they have other types of cosplay accessories and costumes so they are a great cosplay resource.

Dragon Eyes

 

Today I'll be introducing one of my favorite jewelry makers: Blue Rose Creations!

I found Blue Rose Creations from their facebook page. The owner, Lady Pirotessa is frequently releasing new designs and colors there. I love seeing all the items and pretty colors being used in their jewelry! Theres so many beautiful colors and each is quite "eye-catching" if I do say so myself. And speaking of eyes, you'll often notice many of the jewelry pieces have a colored eye theme.

Outfit:

Ring and Pocketwatch: Blue Rose Creations

Wig: Uniqso

Contacts: Pinky Paradise 

Coat: Midnyte Fantasy

Makeup:

Purple Eyeshadow: Sugarpill

Black Eyeshadow: Makeupgeek

Here I'm wearing Purple Dragon Eye Pocketwatch and Ring.
I love these two items, the purple color is incredibly vibrant and shines beautifully.

I own some other items from Blue Rose Creations but I really thought I should do an actual post on their jewelry since I do have a few things now.
And I think these purple eye items are some of my favorites!

And btw I recently got a bit of a photo studio set-up for myself. This shoot I did was actually me testing it out. So you can expect to see more studio shoots like this now. Especially as it's so hot here... X.X

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed seeing some of this beautiful jewelry. Don't be afraid to contact her for any questions or custom items! She is very helpful and friendly. :3
