Recent findings pt 2

This week I'm presenting to you more of my recent findings. Like the last post I will mention the prices and include a web link if you are interested.

I will note that what I'm doing is not a promotion, I'm not getting paid to do this. This is just an outlook of what I like and what I want to share with others.

So what's this weeks findings??

KILLSTAR

Killstar is bold store with busy patterns and also holds dark clothing.

They produce a wide range of things and some are unisex. 

What I do like about this store are the looks on their dresses, some are plain and others a bold like their tops. They can be long and detailed to short with a hippy like style.

 

The price range for this store can be between £14.99 to £300 at the most.

They do have sales regularly and they've recently came out with some new jumpers which are a mixture of bright bold colours and crazy patterns.

If you are interested in these items or interested in the store then feel free to check them out.

VALLEY EYEWEAR

Valley Eyewear are a small company that create amazing sunglasses. They've recently been worn by the likes of Kat Von D and are quite popular for their wolf frames. I love these glasses, the frames and designs are always different, they're used amazingly as an accessory and they frame the face perfectly.
The frames are usually large and come in a variety of styles and shapes.

Valley's can cost up to $300. Also with them being from the US if you are wanting to order then you may need to pay more for shipping.

These collections are absolutely beautiful and they can run out very quickly, they do however release mew collections all the time and update regularly. For the size of the frames and the look of them it is worth the money, however they have upped their pricing so if you are wanting a pair I would strongly suggest buying them now!!

If you are interested then feel free to visit their site at...

LIP SERVICE

Lip service are a multi store, they produce gothic and hippy like styles. They do use bright colours but they also use the dark side. They can produce all types products, from flared pants to harnesses, this store has a lot to offer and this is what I like about it.
The models that they use for the site do bring a slight expression to the garments.

 
 


This store does have both men and womens each with it's different price range.
Mens vary between 40 and 120 dollars.
Womens vary between between 20 and 260 dollars.
It is a US store so delivery to the UK will be more.
Looking at the styles you can see the difference between the looks from the mens to the womens, ALTHOUGH!!! There are some garments that are similar to each other.
They also do bright coloured garments so don't be put off by the darkness of these items, they are the ones that caught my eye.

I will mention again that this is not a promotion! And I'm not getting paid for it, this id just for fun :)

I hope you've enjoyed this post and I will keep you posted!

This week/next week will be about my outfits that I wore in Italy. I will be posting the link to the video of Florence which will be included in the next post.

Multiple style choices (Click to enlarge images)

                                                           

  My multiple styles.

As a person who reflects her style off of their music taste I like to change every now and again.

These outfits are some of the ones that reflect my taste the most.

Here I'm showing sides of Punk, Metal Chick and Goth as well as skin head retro. Supporting Dr. Martins, tartan, Fred Perry  and yellow laces.

I like to reflect my style on my music taste because it shows a side of my interest as well as me as a person. The great thing about listening to different type of music is that I'm able to change my style depending on my mood. Some of the thins that I've worn also makes me feel confident like dressing Gothic for an example. Showing  my body figure with a high waisted belt, thigh high socks and platform boots to elongate the legs and a a light wooly top to add detail to the black on black.

Although I do wear a lot of black and most of my wardrobe holds a lot of black items, I do own a few coloured items that would cut in to the black. The colour that I use most is red, it's a bald and confident colour and I use it highlight a certain area. Like for an example, I wear red lipstick a lot (although it is not an item of clothing) and is now a signature thing for me, highlighting my lips and distracting from the black outfit. I also use red in tank tops, wooly jumpers, Band t-shirts and shoes.

First post of 2014!! New purchases and changing my style...

                             

I trust that everyone has had a good Christmas and time off? It's time to get back to work and start the new year with a fresh head and a change.

This year I'm wanting to change my style and become more comfortable in what I want to wear. The style that I'm interested in going towards is a dark and kind of Gothic, I love to wear black and baggy t shirts as it is but some times wearing the same thing can get boring after a while. So this year I'm going to aim to find some items that have the same kind of style like these that I have already purchased over the Christmas holidays.

What do you think of them? 

It's a big change for me as I haven't worn things like this before, like skirts. I haven't worn a skirt in years and last year I managed to buy two!! Which is a huge thing for me. So I brought another skirt that is black (of course) and has two half belts on the side. One thing I noticed about this skirt is that it can come across as a P.E skirt that you would of worn at school but the edgy look and the accessory of the belts that are attached to the skirt gives a complete different style to the classic pleated skirt.

The skirt itself I thought was quite comfortable but for my frame I thought it looked odd, the reason for this is because I have big hips, so a pleated skirt or an open skirt isn't always best for my body shape. HOWEVER! The skirt is fastened on the side and holds in a good shape around the waist due to the height of the skirt which can make my waist seem smaller.

To go with this kind of skirt I could pair it with a tank top and a slightly opened shirt that would be tucked in and made to look baggy to make my waist seem smaller, if I wanted to make it look ever more smaller and add shape to my body then I could add a belt or a chain to enhance the shape.

I have also purchased myself some new plat form boots which again is a first for me as well. These boots were a size 8 women's with a 3 to 4 inch all around. The boots itself I thought were very comfortable for the price that I had paid, the platform itself is quite spongy and very easy to walk in. Because of the heal it gave me the idea that it would feel like I'm wearing a high heal but because of the platform it feels like you're wearing an ordinary boot that is just a little bit heavier. I had no trouble walking in these what so ever but if you were to purchase these type of boots I would suggest massaging the leather around the back of the boot to soften the leather, making it less harsh on your ankles.

As you can see I have given an idea of what could go with the boots but this time I went for a sexy revealing look, since my style is going down the Gothic root I thought it would be a good idea to do some DIY on an old pair of tights and using the thigh high socks to go over the top, making it look sexy but not revealing everything.

The last two things that I have purchased were a pair of stripped jeans and a tank top which has a revealing and interesting back view. The jeans and the tank top are both very comfortable but easy to move in, with the jeans the waist and the fastening is a little lower to what I am used to but look at the jeans from behind the low waist band gives more shape to the bottom than the usual pair of jeans that I would buy.

I chose to buy these two because I thought that they would go great together which they do and at some point I will need to take a few photos of full outfits to give the idea of what can be paired and how to add more with accessories.

With these purchases some were cheap and others weren't but I will give you links and the prices of how much these were. I have brought more things but they are still to some through the mail.
