The last few months have been pretty insane, wrapping up loose ends with university and such. But Hopefully I can get back to more frequent posting. You can expect some photos from Comic-con soon.

Stay fabulous darklings.

DIY: bustle skirt

DIY bustle skirt made from an ankle length peasant skirt. the DIY was pretty simple, just a couple of areas needed sewing. See more before and after pictures after the break!

Let's go buy some useless mall junk.

Old Horrorpops and New NIN.

The sweater is uber cozy, and the top is gothy and work appropriate. Excellent :)

These were all on sale for 94 cents. Grey fishnets, and mesh tights in 2 shades of pink. Strange colours, but I like them.

Soooooocks. Thigh High socks, toe socks and a pair of lacey tights from Ardene's.

Alternative Runway Fall 2013 (Haute Goth)

Vicious

I really love when Fashion shows bring an alternative edge and defy the status quo in every way they can think of. The Rick Owens Spring Summer 2014 show for his clothing line "Vicious" does just that.

Love it.

Take Advantage of the Trends

 

Alternative subcultures revel in avoiding mainstream culture and fashion right? But what about when the mainstream borrows for the counter-culture fashion statements?
While some might despise the trends, I say indulge and take advantage of them! I personally love when the "dark alt look" becomes fashionable. It means the styles I love are easily accessible and I can often find them for more affordable prices; instead of having to order online or seek out a specialty shop, I can march into my local department stores, seek out the sales rack and find something I'll enjoy wearing.

Simply Stunning: Yohji Yamamoto Fall/Winter 2013

“Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious. But above all black says this: "I don’t bother you - don’t bother me".” - Yohji Yamamoto

 Hello Darklings,

The summer is almost gone! This makes me sad, as I absolutely love the heat, but I know that many eagerly await the coolness of fall.  And while I do miss the heat already, I'm love fall and winter fashion. Particularily this new collection by Yohji Yamamoto. He never fails to provide dark yet sophisticated garments.

Lots of layers, dark neutral tone and lots of black. Loose fitting yet sleek. And some pretty stunning facial hair sported in his Homme collection.  I personally adore the look, What say you lovely readers? Let me know in the comments!

More After the Break!
