Share – In – Style – Flowers

April 12, 2014

I was well chuffed when Sacramento invited me to style an outfit for this month’s Share-In-Style. This month the theme is Flowers and it was a bit of a tricky one to do as I am not usually a florals kind of gal. But, as I have way too many clothes, I managed to find something and do a bit of a floral overkill haha.

Here is Sacramento herself, the queen of pattern mixing, in all her floral glory. Note how sunny it is around where she lives, in Spain.

And this is my contribution to the equation. Observe the drabness of the light and the colours. Not good. Where’s the Spring we have been promised?

Gothic – Share In Style

January 31, 2014

Sacramento of Mis Papelicos has organized another Share-In-Style and this time the chosentheme was “Gothic”. I had to dress up for it, of course. I decided on an all black look but not totally classic goth – there is a bit of velvet but that’s pretty much the only thing that would be on a traditional goth’s closet. I decided to do a more updated glam goth version, which included sequined leggings and a few more fun bits and bobs.

The day was grey and the light wasn’t too brilliant but it just exacerbated my paleness – looking pale is totes gothic.

A bunch of bracelets I bought to use on this photoshoot with my friends.

“I’m so goth I poop bats”

So there. What I wore: Glasses – Firmoo, Sequined Leggings – Zara, Blazer – H&N, Turban – Lomography shop in Lisbon, Creepy Cat/Doll Bag – Ahcahcum Muchacha, Boots– Internacionale, Top – Stradivarius, Bracelets – Matalan

 And a Gothic Hello Kitty, to complete the look. Apologies but the light was so terrible I couldn’t get a better photo of it.
