Go Go

I love the Burned Velvet fabric; when I saw this dress sneaked in a podcast over a year ago now it was an instant want!

Finally it was released as part of Black Milk's Game Of Thrones Collection.

As soon as it was released I snapped it up. I probably could have sized down for this one I think, but it still fits quite well. 

I paired it with my Opening Ceremony heels and some giant statement earrings.

Sick Of Skaters? Never

A couple of posts ago I shared my styling of the Sapphire side of my latest Inside Out Dress, now here is the reverse side; Sick Of Men.

I always loved the Sick Of Men print, so I had to have this! I really like how the print is smaller on this dress too, not as in-your-face as my bodycon and skirt were.

I paired the dress with my SOM Lita boots- how could I not?

Golden Pin Up

Another of my sample Black Milk pieces; probably my favourite one, and also my newest.

I bought this Pin Up dress from another Sharkie (who I've also bought a few others from before).

It's the same cut as the original Pin Up Dress, but the layer under the lace is gold instead of the regular black. It's so pretty and shimmery in real life :)

I paired the dress with all black & gold accessories, including my forgotten Hermes cuff I found stashed at the back of my jewellery draw!

Crystal Blue

Second Inside Out Dress. Sapphire vs Sick Of Men. I love both sides of the dress!

Here's my styling of the Sapphire side; keeping it simple with blue accessories, the dress is a statement itself.

I really love these Jeffrey Campbell heels, they are so pretty and shiny up close. The ankle strap is removable; I think I prefer them without it.

My special 200th Custom piece is on the way; also an inside out dress! Can't wait to share it!!

Musk Mermaid

Black Milk sample pieces! So much unreleased awesomeness!

I have a few unique sample pieces that I really love; including this Mermaid Musk Skater.

I think this one is eventually going to be released; I hope so cause it's such a pretty dress.

It's much more pink in real life, but hard to photograph, it's one of those that changes colours under different lights.

I paired it with pink accessories of different shades; including my Senso lace up heels, I haven't worn these for quite a while, I forgot how good they are :)

Battlesuit

Here's my Purple Battlesuit outfit. I really wanted the Red one, but I missed out, so I bought this one as a replacement.

I do like it, but I'm hoping to eventually track one down in the red ;)

I paired it with all black- lace skirt to girly up the PVC look a bit, and my Hellbounds.

I would love this with pink panels! Maybe one day..

Wonder Gown

I recently scored this one-off Black Milk piece on eBay. Another version of the Villainess/Kapow dresses from the Batman Collection; maybe part of the second DC collection? Or perhaps one they decided against? Either way I'm really happy I won the auction as I loved all the other dresses from the collection!

It's a lighter shade of red than my Kapow and of course floor length, I have plans to wear this to an upcoming wedding :)

Snow Fox

I love the moment when I finally acquire a dream piece!

I recently found my Snow Fox Swim! And for once it was actually in my size :)

I love it even more than I thought I would, I was unsure if wearing it as a bodysuit would cut off to much of the Fox, but as long as the bottom isn't high waisted it works fine.

I paired it with some berry coloured accessories; including my newest handbag! A Hermes Constance I recently found in a local vintage store! Major score :)

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.

Black Milk x Solestruck

Black Milk's latest shoe collection arrives Wednesday on Solestruck.

The collection features 3 styles- The Jovy-Anne, The Lana and The Bonnie. The shoes take their names from Black Milk Customer Service Mega Hotties. 

All 3 are ankle boot styles in signature Black Milk designs- Burnt Velvet, Mermaid, Wallpaper, Tartan and the Blackmilk print.

I'm really loving the Jovy-Anne in the Burnt Velvet. I also like the Tartan Lana; but I already have tartan Tardy Boots which I hardly wear.

Be sure to check for the Collab on Solestruck Wednesday! 

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.

Princess Pink

Princess Bubblegum! Despite never watching an episode of Adventure Time in my life; I loved this dress from Black Milk's Adventure Time Collection (Probably because it's pink!)

It's a really cute girly piece, I paired it with all pink accessories to make it even more girly ;)

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.

Inside Out

My first inside out dress, I didn't get the first two that Black Milk released..I wasnt in love with the galaxy print side on each. But when I saw this one was coming out- with two prints I actually liked I had to buy it, despite having both prints in the bodycon dresses already.

I'm glad I did, it's so pretty in real life and the Amethyst side is more of a pink tone than my Amethyst bodycon dress which I like :)

For this outfit I decided to merge both sides with the same accessories, the purple tones work well with both sides.

I also have the SOM vs Sapphire Inside Out Dress on its way! Should arrive Monday!

Kapow!

Kapow!! Here is one of my latest pieces bought in the Batman release.

Usually I'm not into asymmetrical dresses, but when I saw these velvet ones I fell in love!

I took a long time deciding which colour to buy..failing completely with that I decided on the purple and the red, then also bought the longer version The Villainess in the blue.

The colours are so vibrant, and the material shimmers a little in the light. 

Here's my styling of the red Kapow; worn with a chunky gothic inspired necklace and heels.

Shiny Disco Ball

I was super excited for the release of Black Milk's Batman Collection!

I'm still a sucker for anything sparkly and shiny; so when this dress was sneaked it was an instant must have! I later saw that the material was also made into a Zip Bodysuit and Leggings; so of course I ended up with all 3 :)

It's such a great fabric! Similar to the reptilian fabric with the all over little dots, but it reflects differently  creating bigger sparkles.

The Batman release had a lot of designer pieces I wanted! I ended up buying 8 different things. My instore piece count is now sitting at 197 (three more pieces until my custom!!)

I paired this dress with some holographic heels and simple accessories- who needs jewels with a dress this sparkly ;)

Shiny Dollar

I was so glad to score the Dollar Leggings in the last museum sale! For me they were one of those pieces I kept putting off buying, then suddenly were gone from the store!

I have all the dollar BM pieces now! Love the design (obviously!)

I paired the leggings here with my Mod Tee and Biker Jacket; so triple Black Milk outfit here :)

Sheriff

Possibly my new favourite shoes!! I just got the UNIF Neo Boots :) I loved them for a long time, but they were sold out in my size everywhere I looked :(

I luckily scored the last size 6 pair from Urban Outfitters! They took a while to arrive, I was anxiously awaiting them!

I paired them with my Black Milk Leather Skirt and the Sheriff Swim; which has now been passed on to another lovely Sharkie :)

Pacman Pants

I recently scored the Black Milk Pacman Leggings on eBay. 

I always loved the print, especially after I acquired the swim, so when I saw the leggings on eBay with a buy it now price, I jumped on it!

They are a bigger size than I usually wear, but I'm not too fussed about that; they are more comfy!

For there debut, I paired them with my Burned Velvet Tee, a favourite basic! Also my Hellbounds and navy Balenciaga :)

Plastic Fantastic

Love this skirt! Even if the weather was too hot to be wearing anything PVC!

I paired it with the Burnt Cheetah Tee, another basic Black Milk piece which goes with everything!

My tastes have really changed lately, I'm gravitating more towards the designer pieces; especially those in black.

Also I finally got JC Raids!! So happy with them, I wanted them for ages but they were sold out everywhere. I scored this brand new pair recently on eBay for $100!
