INVINCIBLE IS JUST A WORD

Flower Crown* // Rock N Rose
Dress* // Bill + Mar
Spiked Damsels // Jeffrey Campbell
Rings // Lumafina, The Lost Lanes*, market, Native Feathers*, ?, market

I was gifted this gorgeous Bill + Mar sample dress to photograph for an outfit and I'm gutted I couldn't keep it!  It's such lovely quality and so flattering, although it was quite big, may have had to use some bulldog clips to pull it in!  I wanted to go all out gothic queen so donned the spiky shoes, chunky rings and flower crown (that always makes me feel all Lana Del Rey!).  I love the simple silhouette of this dress and cheeky step detailing, it's a mini and a maxi all in one!

SO DARKNESS I BECAME


Dress* // Poppy Lux
Spiked Damsels // Jeffrey Campbell
Skeleton hairclip* // Paccony
Earrings // Car boot
Bracelet* // Native Feathers
Rings // Vintage, arcade, Regal Rose, Tiffany, Henryka*, Rachael Sudlow
Nails* // Northern Sky Nails

I feel as if I haven't posted a 'dressy' outfit post in a while!  Initially I was really torn between this one and the Una dress but I'm glad I chose this one as I love the cross straps at the front!  I wanted a kind of alien vibe for the outfit so went for straight hair, dark toned lips and green-tinted jewellery (notice the alien ring!?).  I love the colours in the galaxy as well as the cutout at the front and I can't wait to wear it out!  Ps, it's in the sale at the moment from £39 to £26 so go grab a bargain!

EMPTY HEARTS & EMPTY PLACES

Fishnet top // Casall
Bandeau (underneath) // eBay
Dungarees* // Drop Dead
Spiked Damsels // Jeffrey Campbell
Necklace // Tiffany
Earrings* // Paccony
Bracelet* // Native Feathers
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, Henryka*, market, market, Etsy, vintage

Apologies for making so many of my titles BMTH lyrics, but I thought it would be very appropriate for this look, as this outfit features a piece from the brand new Drop Dead summer 2013 line!  It was hard to choose my favourite item from the line - but I eventually chose these as I thought they were a nice contrast from the ditsy pinafores going round at the moment.  I love the pentagrams embroidered all over and the material is really soft & stretchy, not to mention the amazing fit! I got a size S if anyone wants to know - I've had a couple of people ask for reference, and I often find it helpful to know how the sizing is with different pieces/brands.  I did wear a blue tie dye tee with the dungarees on my instagram which I liked a lot but I thought I'd go for a simple silhouette and don my fishnet top, which, fun fact; is a gym top from my mums wardrobe..yep.  Anyway I hope you guys all like the outfit, I know it's one of my favourites!  What are your thoughts on the new summer line?

VOLTAGE RUNNING THROUGH HER SKIN

Leotard* // Electric Tees
Belt // H&M
Disco Pants* // AX Paris
Spiked Damsels // Jeffrey Campbell
Necklace* // AOKO NY
Rings // Rachael Sudlow, markets, ebay, vintage

I do own American Apparel disco pants which I've featured before, although black gets very boring - which is why I decided to go for a brighter colour, specifically turquoise!  I've seen some people wearing red disco pants but never a colour like this so I thought it would be fun to style.
I know a lot of people are interested in how dupes compare to American Apparel disco pants, and honestly these are hot on the tail of the real thing.  The material is thick but stretchy at the same time, the colour is very vibrant, with identical pockets (which is what lets down a lot of dupes) plus they are £25.99 so nearly £50 off the RRP - go AX Paris!  I would say, however, that the sizes come up small - I got the size 8 and because I have very wide hips I should really have chosen a 10, but these fit very well on my legs so might just need breaking in.
I thought I'd team the disco pants with my awesome leotard from Electric Tees which I love so much - the print is so unique and simple, with a flattering scoop back that has a different, striped pattern.
Anyway I've blabbed a lot in this post!  I hope you all like the outfit!  I also added more items to my blog sale if you haven't seen it already so check it out!
