Freedom! and also picnics.

School is finally over. Well the summer course is done at least. One more full year of university and then I get to be a "real adult."

But for now I have some time to relax and work and pursue some of my own interests. And also go camping.

To celebrate the summer solstice, the end of school, and the warm weather than has finally arrived I 've decide to go on a picnic tomorrow. At the beach. Sooooo goth, right?

Hula hoops and picnic baskets are also a must. I'm looking forward to it. I love being outside when the weather is nice. I don't mind the sun, but it's not my favorite thing. So I'll also be bringing a parasol, and loads of sun screen.

Do you guys have anything you love to do in the summer that is far from goth?

6 Trends from the Mainstream that I don't hate!

1. Beyonce - I grew up on Destiny's Child, of course I love her. The music is catchy and her videos are creative. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure. Don't judge me.
2. Pastels / White clothing - Aside from the pastel goth look, pastels are pretty trendy as of late; they are popping up in many spring 2014 runway shows. And while pastels and white clothing really aren't my go-to choice for clothing, I do sort of like the look of an entirely white or off-white outfit. It's kind of ghostly and ethereal, and makes me think of banshees and similar spooks.
3. Bold or Neon Eye Makeup - Goths and the Alternative scene can probably lay claim to the heavy make-up, black eyeliner cat-eye trend. But I do enjoy some of the more neon styles being seen lately. The neon colours offer a change, yet still possess the same extreme look. And I like that.
4. Agate/ Gemstone Decor - Who doesn't love giant rocks. 'Nough Said.
5. Neon Lipstick - Similar to the eye makeup trends, I really just like the alternative to typical lip colours. It can be hard to find a bright pastel or neon lip colour that matches your complexions, but I think its a matter of find what works for you. I'd like to experiment with weird colours like this. Except for orange. I dislike orange lipstick a lot
6. Ear cuffs - As someone with no piercings (gasp I know right?!) ear cuffs have opened a whole new world of jewellery that I never had access to before. And I love them for that.(I dunno why I never got my ears pierced. It seemed like too much effort at the time and now I'm just not motivated enough to do it. )

Do you have any mainstream trends you like or guilty pleasures you are willing to admit to?
