The Look: Goth Grunge.

Thought I'd throw a mix of my favourite styles together in this look. As you can see I have the crucifix ear stud, wedding band earring (which are on both sides and have a skullXbones imprinted on them) and vampire bat necklace as my accessories to add that 'gothic' effect. All silver, of course. I also have my new denim shirt which I've been using as my summer jacket for that grungey effect. Found it in a charity shop (which was proper a pimped out like a thrift store) in my town and it was so so cheap it's unreal!

Necklace: £1.00 from Topman
Ear Rings: £1.00 from Topman
Stud(s): £1.00 from Topman
Denim Shirt: £2.50 from a local charity store.

Inspiration: Vampire Chic






Issue #3: Cord Levi Jacket/Blondie Gig



Price: £0.00.
From: Ex Boyfriend's Dad.
Label: Levi

Anyone who knows me well enough will know that, most of the time, I practically live in this grey vintage Levi's jacket. I wear it atleast 4/5 times a week and it's probably, since last year, my 'trademark' item if you will.

The story behind this jacket is that it was my ex boyfriend's dad's in the 70s and he outgrew it so he gave it to me. At first it did not fit at all so I never wore it. Then as I lost weight it fit me perfectly and I couldn't get enough of it!

I mostly wear it with my most casual of clothing. A pair of slim/skinny fit jeans, a pair of light boots/slip ons and a regular T-shirt. It's the most easy thing to wear whilst still managing to look very cool and stylish.

On Monday I went to go and see Blondie at the 02 Academy in Liverpool and it was awesome! Debbie looked and sounded amazing! (as you can see above). They even did a cover of The Beastie Boys 'You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party' which was my favourite part.

However my least favourite part had to be standing around in the rain for an HOUR. I was soaked throughout the entire gig. But it was totally worth it.

I also did a little bit of shopping (of course) whilst I was in Liverpool and got myself a new denim shirt (which I've been using as a light jacket), 2 sets of new ear-rings and a really cute necklace with a bat on it.
And getting those new ear rings did this to me. As you can see I pierced my helix...myself. I also pierced my other lobe which has the same band ring in it. I don't know what possessed me, but I've wanted to do it for a while so I did. Ah well, I love it! =D.

Maybe I'll get some more done soon...hmmmmm...
