Daily Style: Grey Dress

Today I felt like wearing my super comfortable velvet dress. 



A little Naruto pose here since i had on my Naruto headband. 





Outfit: 

Headband: I picked this up on eBay because I am a fan of the show Naruto and I wanted one! You can get them for about £3, here is one. 

Choker: This choker actually comes all the way from Barcelona, I bought it there when I went on holiday! Silver glitter goodness. 

Dress: I don't know what make this dress is it has no tags, I got it off someone who was selling it on facebook for under £10. It is a grey velvet and so stretchy and comfortable! But it has a bad habit of sliding up my legs and gets shorter and shorter...

Leggings: I picked these up on eBay as well, these were the first pair of leggings that started my thing for leggings... £2.48 and free postage here.

Bracelets: This wrist cuff i got on eBay for a couple of pounds, i wanted some brighter jewellery than just black. The dragon pattern on it is really cool.
And this skull bracelet was a present, it is so pretty!

Boots: These boots are not available to buy anymore, I got them on eBay. One of the platforms came away from the soles too :( It is nice to have some white boots for a change, though.

Daily Style: Grunge

Here is the outfit I wore to a concert last month, I saw Finntroll when they played literally ten minutes from where I live! XD 

As always, I have to wear a corset to any gig... The trouble is, a lot of mine are still in the UK but luckily i did pack my trusty plain black under-bust corset. I have lived in this corset for many a music festival and concert. 

These photos are after the gig, excuse how messy and tired I am. I always do my hair in two plaited pigtails for concerts to keep it out of the way. And I always wear some sort of platform boots so I can see better, and I won't get people treading on my little toes!




Outfit:

Top: Black top with lace panel on the neck and chest area, this is really old but i think i got it on eBay. Perfect for wearing corsets over.

Corset: This corset I bought from someone on eBay who made it. I originally bought a black velvet one but one seam started to break so i sent it back and she made me a taffeta one since she had run out of velvet. It isn't steel boned but it is pretty damn sturdy. The seller put a tag in that says "Tu-Tu Pretty" but i can't seem to find them on eBay anymore. I think it cost under £20 and this has lasted me for about 8 years and i have worn it a lot!

Shorts: Black high waist shorts with gold crosses on it. From Primark, i picked them up on eBay for around £5, I also have a matching crop top but it is too tight still (more exercise for me!)

Wrist cuff: KoRn wrist cuff i picked up on eBay.

Tights: They were my good old New Look tights, opaque until the thigh. 

Socks: My skeleton thigh high socks I got from eBay

Boots: Demonia boots with springs in the platform, I can't seem to track down the official name of these boots. I got these at a local shop where I used to study, they let me swap them for a pair of boots I didn't wear! I love them they are so comfortable.

Daily Style: Cute Gothic

I was feeling like a little change today... I wanted to show off my lovely gothic choker that I won from The Gothic Shop. I started with black and then went for more black...because on Wednesday's we wear black. :)








Outfit:

Wig: I picked this up on eBay for less than £5, it was for a cosplay but who says i can't wear it anyway? For me, it is really nice to have short hair for a change. Since my hair is going past my bum now to wear this wig i feel so different.





Choker: I won this on a facebook competition from The Gothic Shop, i could pick any choker from their website and i chose the "Black Onyx Sinistra Gothic Choker" with black lace and a black gemstone in the middle. The retail price is £24.99, and to be honest, i would not pay that... I could make this myself by buying some lace and glueing on some cheap chains and plastic gemstone. It feels very cheap and light. But saying that, it does look lovely on. The direct link to it is here.


Top: A black velvet boob tube i picked up on eBay, under £5. It is different to find a boob tube in velvet and of course i had to buy it... It also has a thing down the middle you can pull so it ruffles up and gets shorter.

Corset belt: This belt is pretty cool, an uber stretchy velcro corset belt. From eBay, you can get them in all sorts of colours too for a couple of pounds. Here from Hong Kong for £1.89, free postage. Just buy one. 

Arm Warmers: another eBay find, i got two pairs from someone selling them for a couple of pounds each.


Skirt: Again, eBay... It is the brand Dead Threads can't remember how much it was, but around £5. It is lovely and full, and actually a good length. Short enough to show my thigh tattoos, but long enough i can actually go out in it.

Socks: Thigh high skeleton socks from eBay, i love these socks they are awesome. Here are some for £3.50 plus postage, i can't seen to find them as cheap as I found mine before, sorry.

Shoes: My Demonia Dynamite 03 Platform Mary Janes I got on eBay for less than £20, i love them!

Daily Style: Lolita Sailor

Today is a blue sailor kind of day. My sailor shirt needs to be paired with something high waist and i found the perfect skirt in my cupboard. 






Outfit:

Shirt: Collectif Clothing Marla Sailor Shirt, adorable shirt. It is really comfortable and stretchy, and also very versatile with how you can wear it. Like I have here you can tie it up at the bottom, or you can tuck it into a high waist skirt or wear it with high waist jeans. You can see it on their website here but it is out of stock :( I picked mine up in their Camden store in London in the sale, for only £10 or £15! It has that cute sailor neck thing on the back too.

Skirt: blue velvet skater skirt, from eBay here. Less than £4 and free postage! As it is from china i find it a bit tight. But i can't complain at that price, i also bought the green one. 

Necklace: This was a handmade piece by someone called "Dolly Cool" i bought it from www.attitudeclothing.co.uk but they don't seem to stock it anymore. I have found a page for her on facebook though and the exact car necklace here. It was pretty expensive for me as I always buy 2nd hand, it was £15. But I do love it! Sadly though I had a raindrop fall on it and it made the colours smudge :(

I don't know why this photo keeps uploading the wrong way round!

Socks: Thigh high white socks, they actually fit over my thighs! From eBay, I think here. Less than £2 plus postage. A good buy. 

Shoes: Black velvet platform sandals, from eBay. I think they were less then £10.
