This one was a little hard to do because Ive been trying to restrain my window shopping so I dont destroy my bank account. While I was looking for some stuff to include I found quite a few cute little Big cartel stores which I might do a feature on at some point.
This is my list of 5 things I have been looking at recently. Theyre grungy as always.
1. Although I don't at this present moment have the arms for an arm cuff(Gym here I come) I do love them.This one is from Adorning Ava and is only £8. Im quite tempted to buy it and use it as an inspiration to go to the gym(Not that I need it,im loving being a gym bunny at the moment). I love the way chain can be used to create movement in a piece of jewellery, not just to display a pendant. Obviously I was drawn to this because of the crosses. The obsession is starting to scare even me now
2.I have been to a few craft fairs and have been around the lanes in Brighton quite a bit this year and have seen loads of quirky pieces like this. This one from the Mymbles Daughter is great. Its the sort of piece I look at and then kick myself for not thinking of it. And for £12 its not unreasonably priced either like some quirky original pieces can be. I love how eye cathcing it is,its the sort of piece that would get noticed if you wore it.I want one
3. I saw this skirt on another blog and I loved it and was so tempted to get it because its eye catching and would be easy to grunge up to the max. But then I forgot where it was from and wept with the sadness for a while. But browsing through my bookmarks for this article I found it again and now I am anxiously awaiting payday so I can have it in my home and wear it everyday and fall asleep with it in my arms. The busy pattern adds some texture which makes me think that it would be quite flattering even on a curvy girl like myself. Oh and its from Lovely Sally, about £20 I think
4.SKULLS!Sorry, that was my inner goth. Its a skull magician! To a ridiculous person like myself I love the image of a skeleton magician, they'd be so terrible at card tricks. I like this because its a stand out piece,One the website It didnt say if it was massive or not. Id hope it was because it would be a great way of toughening up a girly outfit and just over-gothifying (check out my new word) any grungy outfit. Because its all shiny and gold you could even wear it as part of an evening wear outfit. Oh the possibilities. Its from hereJ
5.I really like this. The pattern makes it look like an heart rate monitor or lines of poetry rather than the normal psychedelic tie dye pattern. Its from Cow vintage, a shop that I used to love when I lived in Derby. The nearest is in Nottingham and they permanently have a giant sale on. But unfortunatly at that time I wasn't as regular a frequenter of the fashion blogs so had no idea how to style anything from there. But now I do I want this.
So that was another Megalomanic Mondays.I'm sorry I havn't been doing many outfit posts. I really want to do some more because i've been quite proud of some of my recent outfits and I also have a teeny weenie haul to do. But unfortunately my camera has vanished into the abyss that is my temporary flat and until I can move into my actual flat (hopefully in the next few days) I probably wont be able to find it.
I really want an arm cuff too! :D there are some nice ones on Asos Marketplace :)
