Shiny Sapphire

I've bought so much from each of the last few Black Milk releases, I haven't had a chance to even wear a lot of the pieces yet! 

Like the shattered crystal pieces; I bought all three colours in both the dress and the bodysuit. Here's my styling of the Sapphire Shattered Crystal Bodysuit.

It's the middle of winter here now and the temperature is really dropping! So I'm finding I'm always too rugged up now to bother taking any outfit pics. I hate winter with a passion! Cannot wait for the warm weather to return so I can get more wear out of my Black Milk Swims & Dresses :)

Popsicle Power

Black Popsicle Swim! Finally :)

This was my original dream piece, back when I first started buying Black Milk 2 years ago! I fell in love as soon as I saw it, but back then it was super rare and impossible to find.

Then I saw a peak of both the black & white versions at a photo shoot! I was so excited I would finally be able to get it!!

I got the white one when it was first released, and have been waiting not-so-patiently for what must be months for the black version. Finally it was announced as part of the Chinese New Year release; everyone else seemed to be upset about the pieces not being 'culturally appropriate' but all I could think was YAY POPSICLES!!!

So here it is! I paired it with my Burnt Velvet Skirt and some bright blue accessories. I love all the cute little faces and expressions on each Popsicle.

2 Years On

Today marks 2 years since I made my first ever Black Milk purchase.

It was the Rainbow Galaxy Skirt; I've always loved rainbow prints, so when I first discovered Black Milk I fell in love!

I made my order, and waited (not so)patiently for what seemed like forever; 8 days later my shiny black package arrived and the obsession began there.

2 years on and my current collection stands at over 300 pieces. 

I've managed to find lots of my dream pieces, some harder to find than others. I've scored some bargains and paid a small fortune for others.

I'm currently planning my custom 200-store-piece! I can't wait to share it here :)

But back to the outfit; this is my Villainess Dress. I love it! Something different from typical Black Milk pieces, I'm loving the sophisticated edge of some of the newer pieces.

NZ Road Kill

A few posts ago I shared my Aussie Road Kill Dress, here's a similar one in a New Zealand theme.

The NZ Road Kill Skater was a secret Black Milk release that I stumbled upon; it's the same concept as the Australian one, just with native New Zealand Animals instead.

I paired it with blue and green accessories to match the colour theme of the dress. I like how it looks just like a busy patterned dress until you get up close and see the details.

Road Kill

Happy Australia Day!

I had an awesome day wearing my special Black Milk Australia Day piece 'Road Kill Skater Dress'.

It's so cute featuring all Australian Animals (with a couple of sneaky one's blended in too!).

The colour theme on the dress was blue, orange and white; so I kept to that for my accessories.

I really like that Black Milk make special pieces for occasions like these; I bought the Aussie Bogan Swim last year for Australia Day. I hope they will keep this tradition going :)

Sunset

Black Milk Sunset Swim- such a pretty print. I haven't worn it until now; even though it's an XS which is  my regular size, because it's old cut the fit is weird, especially the straps..much too long.

I really should do a BM cull, there's a lot of pieces like this one which I don't wear, but just can't let go because they are such awesome prints!

I paired the sunset swim with this orange skirt and my dark blue Balenciaga to match the colours in the swim.

Shades of Blue

Happy New Year!!

So New Year's Resolutions- one of mine is to downsize my BM collection to the pieces I will actually wear; not just look at.

Lots of blue for today's outfit, I like how all the different shades look mixed together.

Really liking this velvet skirt; I'll probably get the mulled wine one soon.

Crazy Patterns

Glad I decided to buy the Back Of The Deck Swim in the last BM release, being a limited pre-sale item, I was still undecided, but the time limited made me cave! Turns out I really like it :)

 Such a crazy pattern called for a simple bottom; the Eyelash Skirt. The Eyelash Dress & Tee are some of my most worn and versatile Black Milk pieces, so I knew I needed the skirt when it was announced!

I'm really looking forward to the Halloween release! Judging from the ever-growing list; there are quite a number of items I plan on nomming :)

Leather Eyelashes

Finally the weather is warming up! At least for a few days anyway.

Here's a triple Black Milk outfit featuring two of my favourite versatile pieces; Eyelash Tee and Leather Skirt.

I'm loving Balenciaga right now, I have a new obsession with their bags and accessories! Here is my latest acquisition; the Giant Part Time bag in Bleu Lavende- A lovely purple/blue chameleon colour.

Lace Samurai

Double Black Milk! 2 of my newest pieces; Samurai Swim and Blue Lace Skater Skirt!

I really wanted the Blue Skirt, but my phone had a meltdown when it was released, so I missed it, so glad I was able to get it from another lovely Sharkie :)

It matches really well with the Foxy Spikes and my Samurai Swim!

Shine Bright

Another sequin dress post! 

I was really glad when Sophia James released the Nixie Sequin Dresses, I had always wanted one of the Black Milk ones, but was never able to find one. 

I recently got lucky! I found the Gold one! I love it so much, the sequins are sewn on in little snake like lines, its so shimmery and pretty in real life, but hard to capture on camera.

Once again I paired it with simple accessories- who needs jewellery when your dress is this glittery :)

Pink Foxy Spike

My one Solestruck Black Friday purchase! The Foxy Spike in pink.

I really like them, they are a slightly different colour than I was expecting, there the same colour as my pink Lita's.
I also have the blue version, I love them both :)

Solestruck Sale Picks!

Solestruck's once a year super sale is happening right now!
Theres heaps of great shoes on sale for a fraction of the original cost!
Here are my top 10 picks from the sale selection, don't forget; these prices will be reduced even further on the last day of the sale :)

1. UNIF Hellbound

From $119.97

London Calling

I've had this dress for a while now but this is my first time wearing it.

I wasn't sure about it at first, but I really like it :) I also want to get the America flag dress!

I paired it with blue and red accessories; it matches really well with my blue Foxy Spikes.

Aurora

Im so happy to finally own the Aurora Skye Dress!

I've wanted this dress for so long! It cost me a pretty penny but it was worth it! Definitely one of my favourites!

I paired it with my new Foxy Spikes in bright blue, I really love these shoes, planning on buying the pink ones soon too :)

Solestruck Sale Purchases

So this is the aftermath of Solestruck's 100K Sale..

I ended up buying 7 pairs of shoes over 3 days.

4 Jeffrey Campbells, 1 Black Milk x Jeffrey Campbell, 1 UNIF and 1 Opening Ceremony.

At first I was planning on only getting the Rainbow Galaxy Back Offs, I was planning on buying them soon anyway. I bought them on the first day of the sale saving 20%.

The next day the sale increased to 30%, I actually didnt buy anything that day..trying to be good, I told myself that if the ones I want are still there tomorrow, then I'll get them ;)

This plan failed miserably; on the third day they were all still there, but hey I saved 40%!

I bought 3 pairs of shoes at the start of the 40% off day.

Then I saw Hellbounds would be included in the Power Hour, the only colour I still needed was grey, so I had to get them! Then to make it up to free shipping I *had* to add another pair..or two..whoops.

So here you have it; no money and 7 new pairs of shoes later!

Originally these would have cost me $2042, I got them all for $778! 

..and now for some pretty pictures..

Lace Evil Cheerleader

First outfit wearing my new Lace Evil Cheerleader Dress from Black Milk.

I really love it :) I prefer it over the Matte Black version which I also recently purchased.

It is see-through, so I'm wearing a black singlet slip dress underneath, but it could also be paired with a coloured dress to create a different look; similar to the Eyelash Dress.

Shopping List

I have already crossed off a large chunk of my list in the last couple of days, here are a few items that I am yet to purchase.

UNIF Godspeed Dress

UNIF Deadstock Dress

UNIF Peignoir Tank (Let me know if you see this anywhere in XS/S)

Black Milk Lace Spartans

Gold Spike UNIF Hellraisers

JC Big Lita

JC Tardy Stud (Looking for a 7)

JC Foxy Spike Pink (Waiting on restock)

Foxy

I also got some Jeffrey Campbell Foxy's with my Hellbounds.

I wanted a simple pair of black shoes that would go with anything- so I bought these.

I had wanted to get them for a while, but they were always out of stock.

I puchased these from Solestruck for the really good price of $119.

These are the Black Kidskin Leather version, but I also really like the Black Lace.
