Jacko

The Black Milk Halloween release included a Jack O Lantern Skater Dress; it inspired me to wear my Jack O Lantern Swim from last years Halloween Collection. 

I paired it with my Burnt Velvet Skater Skirt, creating a dark Halloween vibe.

Here is my 3rd Phillip Lim for Target bag; the Yellow one, probably my favourite of the three.

It matched my accessories; yellow Balenciaga bracelet and my favourite vintage necklace.

Freak Stew

My first order from Black Milk's Halloween Collection 'All Killer, No Filler' release arrived today.
I got the I Eat Mice Zipper Suit and the Freak Stew Skater Skirt.
I actually ended up placing 4 seperate orders within like 10 minutes cause I didn't want to miss out on the limited items. Turns out I rushed for no reason, as things didn't sell out as quickly as usual.
Both of these items are currently still available, so if you like them; snap them up while you can! I highly recommend them both! Especially the Zipper Suit! It's so nice, really shiny and I love the zip feature, hopefully there will be more Zipper Suits in the future :)

Hoot

A neutral coloured outfit for today featuring my Black Milk Owl Swim and my just arrived Phillip Lim for Target mini satchel in Taupe. I also got the Yellow and Black versions of the same bag, which I will feature in future posts.
I love them! So little and cute; but surprisingly fit quite a lot inside! I've been thinking of buying the Mini Pashli from Phillip Lim's main collection; these dupes have made me even more certain of wanting the Pashli! Now to decide which colour..
I scored this skirt for only $5 from Kmart so that was pretty good, it's just a simple skirt, but I liked it with the Owl.

SharkieCon Spirit

I was so bummed when I saw this special SharkieCon Shooter pop up around Instagram and Facebook.. I never even seen it!! It was a special hidden pre-sale item for SharkieCon Vegas.

I really loved how it featured the same Sharks as the Shark Swim (which coincidently I just found out I missed seeing/buying on eBay!!). 

I managed to find this one on eBay; of course I ended up paying a lot more for it, but at least it's mine now :D

I paired it with Blue Galaxy Leggings- you can't get more classic Black Milk than those ;)

Top 10 Black Milk Pieces

My collection has grown to a crazy number now! But if I could only choose 10 pieces to keep, it would be these:

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 :)

Nueva York

Another red + black outfit; my favourite colour combination.

First time wearing my Bloodbath leggings, despite having them for ages, I actually like them more than I thought I would, they are a very detailed print, looks like little faces hidden in the pattern. I would love to get the purple version 'Plumbaths'.

I paired them with my Phillip Lim tank, Im really loving this designer at the moment! And yes I did pick up a few pieces from the recent Target collaboration, but more on those later ;)

Something different for this outfit post; I'm wearing flat shoes (well flat for me) My UNIF Koop's got there first outing, very comfortable and easy to wear, and I didn't stab anyone with the spikes either!

As I mentioned earlier; I have a new bag to show and here it is! The Balenciaga Classic City in Coquelicot. It looks a little more orange than in real life in these photos, but It's a really beautiful Poppy red in real life. I've wanted a red Balenciaga for a really long time and was originally searching for one with the giant gold hardware, but when I saw it, I didn't really like the gold with the red. Then I found the classic with all the tassels and fell in love :)

Skater Girl

Sort-of Spring weather means I can wear my dresses! 

Im really glad I was able to get this BM Lace Skater when it was released, it's really pretty :) Although I would call the colour more pink/watermelon than red as the name states.

It matched my Balenciaga clutch perfectly; also a pinky/red shade. I've never really been into clutch bags, but I really like the Balenciaga styles as they are more slouchy than structured and fit quite a lot!

I got these JC Hologram Heels recently for a bargain price! I expected them to be to big for me as they are a size larger than my usual, but they fit really well. They look awesome in the light!

Shiny Spring

Spring weather is slowly returning, today I wore my Silver Shattered Glass Jacket, it's so shiny in the sun; like a beautiful rainbow :)

It's such a statement piece I wore it over a plain white tee and jeans.

It's warm enough that I can start wearing open heels again, after months of being covered up in boots, for this outfit I wore my Senso Saure Heels which matched my baby pink skull scarf. 

My Bleu Lavende Balenciaga is probably one of my favourite bags in my collection, although I do have a new one to show you soon ;)

Girly Grunge

As the weather slowly warms up, I am now able to start wearing some of the Black Milk pieces I have accumulated over winter, this was my first outing in the Tartan vs Wetlook Bodysuit I got in one of the recent releases, I love it! Hopefully there will be more styles like this in future.

I love wearing red & black together, so this outfit worked really well for my style, plus I finally got some wear out of my tartan Tardy boots :)

Black Milk x Harry Potter Collection

Black Milk's latest collection is released on Tuesday! All Harry Potter! There are lots of pieces, but only a few that I am interested in buying, although I have read the books and like it, A lot of the clothes aren't something I would ever wear now.

The one's I do like are the two Deathly Hallows pieces- Leggings and the Swim. The Front Marauders Map Dress and Weasley Weather Tee. Also maybe the Daily Prophet Leggings- similar to the original Newspaper Leggings; but magical :)

Black & Blue

Once again..the nice weather has left us as quickly as it came.

I bought this cardigan along with some cheap basics from Supre, it was only $15, but I really like the print and it is nice and warm :)

I paired it with my BM Matte Skater, I'm finding I'm not really wearing my bodycon BM dresses anymore, so hopefully there will be lots of different skater prints released in the future!

Once again wearing my Suspender Hosiery, metal belt and Foxy heels, so similar items as my last outfit post, but styled differently.

I also wore my PS1 Bag, I love the style of it, however I think it may be a bit big for me, what do you think of it?

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.

Delights

Earthly Delight Leggings; these are such a busy print I kept the top half simple; wearing my I heart BM tee, I really like loose long style tops with leggings. Also kept my accessories to earthy natural tones to match some of the colour scheme of the leggings.

There is so much happening in this print; taken from a painting by Hieronymus Bosch, it's really interesting to look at. 

I prefer the Earthly design to the Unearthly, I would really love this in a Swim! 

Sharks & Leopards

Finally a new outfit post!
I've been pretty busy with both my work and personal lives lately, that combined with feeling under the weather for quite a while now means my poor blog has been neglected.
I've received quite a few new Black Milk pieces recently, including this 'Sharks in a Net' Cardigan from the last release 'Dark Energy'.
I also got the Tartan VS Wetlook Bodysuit, Back Of The Deck 2.0 Swim, Woodchucks, Le Chat Dress and Burned Velvet Skirt. But more on those later ;)
The main thing I wanted was the Sharks Cardigan and it was limited, so as soon as it was released I quickly checked out with it then went back for the others. So happy I got one! It's such an awesome design.
I paired it with a simple singlet and leggings combination for a lazy rainy weekend. Finally wore my Pink Leopard Leggings too!

OMG Shoes!

Something different from the usual Black Milk posts that have taken over my blog lately ;)
Going back to my first obsession; Shoes!
I recently decided that I needed these UNIF Koop Sneakers in the Black Leather.
Lately I've been more into the grungy/dark looks, I spotted these and impulse bought them.
They still have a platform, so not completely flat, but something different than the giant platform heel styles I usually go for.
I love my Hellraiser's because of the spikes that cover them, I really liked these for that reason too, they remind me of a more dangerous version of the converse sneakers ;)
I ordered them from Karmaloop, a site that I usually avoid, but they were on sale and I had a code, so it was a pretty good deal. As usual I was disappointed with Karmaloop's service- delivery was super slow and when they finally did arrive they were missing a spike already!
I contacted UNIF direct and they are sending me out some extra spikes! They are always really awesome with their customer service at least. Karmaloop's solution was for me to send them back, oh but by the way we don't have that style anymore..Awesome thanks guys -_-
I am yet to wear them out, I've only tried them on, but they seem good overall! Very sturdy and good quality (apart from the spike issue).
 I got a size 6 after reading mixed reviews. I'm glad I decided against sizing up as even the 6 seem a little big.

Babes In The Wood

I was recently contacted by Babes in the Wood; A hybrid Streetwear and Music Label.

They sent me this awesome little pack of goodies including this Beatcatcher Tee.

I really love the detailed design on the plain white tee. They have some really awesome hand drawn designs.

I paired the tee with my latest Black Milk purchase- the 'Will You Still Love Me' hosiery, denim shorts, Big Lita's and added my trusty BM Biker Jacket as the weather turned colder.

Peek-A-Boo Pink

Trying something different for today's outfit; instead of wearing my Teardrop Leggings on their own with skin showing through, I decided to layer them over another pair of leggings.

Extra warmth and a different look :) I chose a plain pink pair; Hot Pink Juicy Fruits.

This combination matched well with my Pink Spike Litas so I wore them along with some more leather; which I love, with the bag and jacket.

Love & Lace

Black Milk Heart Leggings- I tried my best to not make them look like pyjama pants..not sure if I succeeded haha..

Thought I'd toughen them up with leather boots and jacket.

Also wearing my BM Lace Top- I love the designer Black Milk stuff, hoping for some more tops soon, they go with everything!

Mango Missoni

It's been a long time since I wore this dress. I found it hiding in my closet and decided to give it another run.

I remember being really excited to score this dress back when it was released, then being disappointed when it was a bigger fit than I expected, It's definitely a shift style dress!

I think the Target Designer collaborations have been really good! Some big names mixed with the low budget Target; giving buyers the chance to own something from labels they would otherwise not be able to easily afford.
