Street Geek

Hello! Without getting distracted I wanted to share one of my style looks this year. I've truthfully been away from social media this year. I took sort of a break from it due to different reasons. One of the most recent is simply because I started streaming on Twitch. And honestly streams are pretty time consuming. However I have no intention of abandoning my social media or taking my style photos.

In fact, if anything I've done a lot of shopping this year and I have tons of outfits I want to put together! One thing this year is I've gotten a bit more casual with my style. Do not fret though I still adore the visual kei and many other alternative styles so much. It's just it feels hotter every year so I needed to figure out how to dress more comfortably in truth haha.

Shoes are Puma Fenty Sneaker Boots by Rihanna collection
Of course I still love my platforms (thats not gonna change!). I don't usually wear sneakers at all but I found these shoes and just thought they were different and pretty cool. I loved the platform and the side zipper, they had enough non-traditional elements to just make me want them. And honestly I actually loved wearing them and found them easy to style with. The white seemed like it'd be a weird contrast but I found even with all black outfits just having pops of white contrast helped tie in the shoes so they weren't out of place. I even tried it with a few outfit changes you can see below.

Warm Winter Days

First post for 2018. <3

So I'm starting with something a little broader than usual. I thought I'd share some of my looks this Winter.
The temperature has flucuated but some days are still surprisingly mild and even slightly warm.

Very easy and comfortable to wear a sweater or light jacket.

The majority of my outfits are pieces from: Dresslily

 Boots: Demonia

 Black Loose Fit Sweater

This sweater turned out to be one of my favorite items. It's quite comfortable with an easy fit. Sleeves were a perfect length on me. I'm very happy with this sweater.

 Leather Moto Jacket

 Zipper Detail Pants

I love these pants for there cool details. Mine fit slight big but thats simple because the ones available were a size or two up. Still with a belt they fit enough.

 Boots: Demonia

 

Asymmetric Long Cardigan

 I feel like a jedi in this haha.
I love the length and shape on this one. However, the faux leather feels rather thin which I find feels strange with the other fabric.

 Asymmetric Sweater

This is an nice easy to wear piece. This is something I'd consider sort of a "basic" staple item for a long-sleeve for my personal style.

 Blue Hooded Cape

One thing I like most was most these pieces are good for layering. So when it's colder you can just layer up a bit more.
I hope everyone is staying warm and stylish for 2018 so far.

Sheer Black (Review for Banggood.com)

Hello everyone, I have another review today!
The weather has been very pleasant so it's been really comfortable to wear most clothing and Spring type outfits. It's also even been hot some days too so it feels like Summer even already sometimes...


My review today is for some items I got from banggood.com


I got three different things, two shirts and one sunglasses.
The order came in two separate packages, the sunglasses arrived first and the two shirts came together about a week later. Everything was individually packaged and neatly folded.
All the items reviewed are available for purchase in the highlighted links. :3

Since the sunglasses arrived first, I'll go ahead and start with them!
I've really been liking sunglasses more and more and I was definitely happy with these ones!
They're a wide black frame and have a darker purple tint. I don't have any other glasses like them so they're both a welcome addition to me and something I really already have enjoyed adding to my outfits. The darker tinting also helps with the sun of course so it's both practical and nice looking. And they're for sale from banggood.com for under $5! So they're quite affordable. Furthermore I was happy to see the material was not flimsy and the glasses stay well on my face and I found them comfortable. Overall I was very happy with these sunglasses. You can get your own pair here!

My outfit:
Sunglasses: Banggood
Leopard Jacket: Rue21
Skull Shirt: Banggood
Pants: Forever21
Nana Boots: Hot Topic.

Moving forward to the other items I ordered. I chose two different sheer style black shirts.
One being a short sleeve mesh shirt and the other being a long-sleeve blouse with ribbon necktie.

I tried the mesh t-shirt first as I thought it was cool and casual. I also found that it went perfectly with my new sunglasses!
The t-shirt is fully sheer with a solid black block on the front that reads "PARIS" in white letters. I thought this was just a way to make the shirt a little unique rather than being fully plain. The shirt was very easy to pair with a solid black tank. The t-shirt is a somewhat shorter cut on me as I'm fairly tall but I didn't mind as it's so easy and perfect for layering.

I thought the tshirt is pretty great for something easy and casual and pairs well with jeans or anything black really. The style is trendy but also edgy and cool so I was definitely really satisfied with this shirt too.

Outfit
Sunglasses: Banggood
Mesh T-shirt: Banggood
Jeans: H&M
Necklace: Givenchy
Bracelet: Cryoflesh

My last item to review is the long-sleeve blouse.
I was really looking forward to this item as I have always liked the look of these kinds of shirts. Especially when they have the long necktie ribbons.

Like the tshirt, this shirt is also sheer but a bit less transparent. I personally like it buttoned up and tied up with the ribbon as I find that to be the highlight of this shirt. And I've been wanting a shirt like this for awhile!
I was also happy that the sleeves were longer for the size I got (I am wearing a size L). The shirt also drapes nicely and comfortably which is another thing I like about these style blouses and the light material keeps them comfortable. This shirt is also available in white as well and I'm even considering getting that one for the future! But you can find this lovely shirt available for purchase here!

Outfit
Sheer Blouse: Banggood
Sunglasses: Banggood


Hope you enjoyed my review and found it helpful! Especially if you are considering ordering from banggood, I found I was definitely pleased with my items. The banggood.com site also offers order tracking as well so I was able to easily track the status of the items I ordered!
Happy Shopping. :3

VirginBlak Review

I have another store to review for today!

This time it's for Virginblak, which is trendy shop for men's fashion based in Korea.

I've ordered from Virginblak numerous times so I'll show you what I ordered this time and some of my favorites from the past!

I decided to get one of the Virginblak gift package boxes which was a mystery box of merchandise. The box cost $39.99 and consisted of 2 sunglasses, 2 beanies, 2 misc accessories, and 2 Shirts.

This was sort of fun as I got to see what I'd get not really knowing what to expect! First the packaging was the nicest I'd seen from Virginblak as it had it's own giftbox and everything inside was individually wrapped.

First were the beanies, there were two in the box. One charcoal and a khaki/camel color one. I honestly haven't really worn beanies before but these were soft and appropriate for the current season. I think I'd at least try out the charcoal color one if it gets cold enough.

Second there were two different sunglasses. And I have to point out it was really nice how the sunglasses each had their own individual packaging and also had a cloth for wiping dust and also to protect the lenses. The first were a color style and the second much more monochrome, I think it was a good difference of variety.

Third there was this spiked bracelet. I love this bracelet! I found it to be totally my style so it's one of my favorite accessories in the box.

One of the most unusual items were these faux tattoo sleeves, I haven't tried them on yet so I'm not sure how they look. I don't have any tattoos myself but I'm sure I'll find a use for them in a costume or something perhaps.

Lastly I had two different shirts. One was a long sleeve shirt in grey and I found this very easy to wear for the upcoming season. I've been wanting more long-sleeves so I think it's going to be something I'll get plenty of use out of. The other was a really interesting and unusual type of leather garment, sort of like a sleeveless leather tunic. The second was definitely unusual but it seems perfect to at least get some photos in so I think I'll save that for another time.

If I had to score everything I'd say...

Packaging: 10/10

Delivery Speed: 7/10
Value: 8/10

Overall I think the gift package was a lot of fun to get as it's just a mystery box and so it's sort of a fun surprise. And in total there are 8 items in the box so it's a definite savings compared to the regular value of their items. Although you might get some stuff that isn't as much your style or color you'll likely enjoy most of it if you like the general style of their clothes. I'm happy I got the box as I even got some items I never saw or likely would have got on my own so it's a way to try out some new stuff!

Anyway besides the box you can always just order their clothes individually.
And... as promised here some photos of me in some of favorite clothes I've gotten from Virginblak in the past!

The first is some jeans, I wear these pretty often. They're just so versatile and go with pretty much everything I own!
The second is a black cardigan which is great for layering.
And the third is a sleeveless fishnet cardigan top, I seriously think this is one of the most unique things I own.
