Yes Galactic

I've always loved shopping on Solestruck, by far my favourite online store for shoes. When they started there own shoe line called Yes; I was excited to try them.

A lot of them were very much my style- dark colours and chunky platforms. 

I decided on three different pairs- here is the first.

Galactic in black leather. 

Lace up platform boots very similar to my trusty Jeffrey Campbell Tardy's which I wear a lot! When I saw these on the site they were an instant want!

Then once again Black Milk used them for one of their shoots- funny how we have the same tastes ;)

So my two loves merged together and that decided it for me; I had to have them! 

As always Solestruck were wonderful! Easy to order and great customer service; I had my new shoes within a few days :)

I've already worn these out a few times- they didn't need any breaking in! They were so comfy right away and being a platform- easy to walk in too!

I got my regular size 7, which is what I usually buy in boots so I can wear socks with them. They fit try to size, pretty similar fit to the JC Tardy's actually.

So far so good! They are well made and very sturdy. Shiny patent leather without being too in-your-face. I love the square toe, something different from most of my other shoes. 

Overall these are awesome and I would definitely recommend them! I'm really happy with them and they will be worn a lot :)

Black/White

I got this sample Black Milk bodysuit quite a while ago now, first time wearing it.

It's a similar design to the Tartan/Wetlook one with the curve of the two materials.

That happens a lot; I buy all these things and forget about them for months. I'm such a hoarder, I really need to have a big clean out of all my Black Milk and other clothes & accessories. 

I love my UNIF Neo Boots! Seriously comfy platforms, so glad I was able to nab the last pair in my size! I have some new UNIF pieces on the way too! I'm really excited to get them :)

Welcome to the Darkside

What better outfit for May the 4th (Star Wars Day).

Darkside Swim! A BM piece I thought I would never own! Probably one of the rarest out there; a mash up of Star Wars & Pink Floyd album art, this one was quickly pulled from sales after copyright issues.

I've always loved it, such a weird and unique design and I love the rainbow against the black :)

I was lucky enough to get this one from a lovely girl who didn't wear it. 

I paired it with all black and my red PVC skater to match the red of the rainbow. 

First time wearing my new YES Galactic Boots! There are going to become a new favourite! They are so comfy and awesome (full review coming soon).

Illuminate

I finally added Illuminati Leggings to my collection! I had been after these for a long time, but every time they came up they were in a big size or went for way to much on eBay.

I bought these from a lovely sharkie along with a couple of other pieces. 

I'm really happy with them! I loved the print..obviously, seeing as I chose it for one side of my custom Inside Out Dress.

I paired them here with all black- pretty much all I wear now, I really should clean out my closet and ditch all the coloured pieces just sitting there. Make room for more new purchases ;)

Velvet Galaxy

Back to the most recognised Black Milk prints- the Galaxies collection.

Here I paired my Purple Galaxy Swim with two other Black Milk pieces; Teardrop Lace Jacket and Crushed Velvet Skirt. The skirt is such a rich pink colour! It matches really well to the tones in the swim. I love pink and purple, especially paired with black :)

Also my latest Balenciaga; Baby Daim (suede) in Dark Violet; this one was a birthday gift! I love it, something different from the regular leather.

Vanilla Leopard

Another from the Vintage Black Milk archive; Original Leopard Leggings.

Over the years Black Milk have done quite a few different Leopard print designs- these were the first.

They have a metallic sheen and smudges of silver foil over the print; this surprised me at first as I thought it was fading!

I paired them here with my Sheer Back Tee, so glad that the Witch Please collection has a few new basic tops! They go with the leggings really well :)

Piano Keys

Here's a piece I hadn't seen much off until I owned it; Piano Key Leggings.

I bought these along with a couple other older pairs recently. 

I really like the look of them, but I'm not sure it they suit me. Lately I've drifted more towards darker colours, plus every time I wear white I seem to spill something; so these probably aren't the best fit for me!

I can't deny they are very unique, a real statement piece! So I kept the rest of my outfit simple pairing them with a black top and my new Deandri boots!

Deandri Ginger

As you would already know if you follow my blog; these days it's all about Black Milk!
However my blog originally began due to my love of shoes; my first posts were all about my personal collection, new arrivals and shoes I loved, but did not yet own.
I used to buy frequently from Solestruck at the peak of my obsession; at the time Solestruck was the place to go for Jeffrey Campbell's, they had every pair I wanted and I always received great customer service.
My buying slowed around the time that Solestruck dropped down their new arrivals from Jeffrey Campbell, slowing selling out to just a few popular styles. It was a big disappointment for me as I loved shopping on Solestruck over all the other stockists.
It was of course Black Milk that tempted me back to Solestruck, when the new collab between Black Milk x Solestruck was released, I found myself on the website checking out all the new brands.
I found a couple of styles which I loved! One were these Deandri Ginger Platforms in black on black.
I remember seeing Deandri around quite a lot about a year ago, but the styles at the time were not really for me; lots of wooden heels. These of course still have the wooden heel, but in black rather than natural wood.
After I found these on the site, Black Milk's latest photoshoot came out; featuring these exact shoes! It was great to see them paired with the clothes I wear everyday, I ordered them pretty soon after that!
I emailed Solestruck and was told they probably wouldn't be getting them in again, so I had to size up, something I was a bit worried about, but turned out to not be such a big issue. The Ginger runs half a size small anyway so it was really only a half size too big which is nothing socks cant fix ;)
I love the style of these!! I'm really into all things black and witchy right now so these fit that perfectly!
I've worn them out once already. I found that they do squeak when I walk..hopefully something that will go away once they are worn in a bit.
They are very comfy though! Even with the 6.5inch heel. I'm used to wearing huge platforms anyway so these were no problem!

Ruby Red

This dress is one of those pieces that sat in my closet for ages, then when I wore it I fell in love.

I love red in general, so I don't know why it took me so long to wear this one. 

I bought it back when it was first released; along with all the other crystal dresses. 

I always seem to pair red with black and this outfit is no different; I love the combination.

I wore my Saxony wrap cardigan, this one can be worn a couple different ways but I like the shorter front best. 

I only recently placed my first order with Saxony and am so far really happy with their clothes! Some of the sizes fit quite large though!

Pearls & Lace

Shattered Glass Pearl Leggings; so lovely and shiny in person, so hard to capture in photos. 

They are a really pretty rainbow pearly hologram. I've had them for such a long time I don't even remember how they came to be in my collection. 

I paired them with my black lace top, hoping for some more Black Milk tops soon; they go with everything!

This necklace matches perfectly with the leggings, it has the same shades of rainbow shimmer :)

Deep Purple

Purple Kapow! Love the colour of this dress, reminds me of Cadbury chocolate :)

I wasn't going to buy the purple one to begin with, then I saw a behind the scenes photo of it from the shoot and it looked so much nicer than the product page photos.

I'm really surprised that it's still available on the site, I would have thought it would have been more popular! I think it's really unique and something a little bit different from usual Black Milk styles.

Glitter Nightwalk's and coloured jewels make it a real party worthy outfit!

Plumbath

Finally tracked down Plumbaths!! My Bath collection is nearly complete ;)

I love them! Such an awesome pattern and colour.

I paired them with this new top I recently bought from Saxony, they have some really great pieces. I also bought a couple of other more winter style tops which I really like too. Lot's of black which is always great by me!

Boney

Here's the Bone Machine side of my latest Inside Out Dress.

I do like the print placement of this one, especially the top part, the print kind of follows your ribs.

Of course I had to wear it with my Bone Machine Lita's ;)

I accessorised with the same pieces I wore in the Galaxy side outfit, some blue to break up the monochrome.

I never used to be a fan of clutch bags; then I got my first Balenciaga Envelope Clutch and fell in love with them! I use these all the time now! (as you've probably noticed in my posts). I really want to get a black one soon.

Seeing Stars

My third Inside Out Dress; Blue Galaxy vs Bone Machine.

I now have 3 out of the 4 released so far; of course the one I want the most is the one I don't have (Peacock vs Purple Galaxy).

I've heard there will be a single sided Peacock Skater released soon though! So hopefully that happens :)

I just got this one in a swap, it's unfortunately too big for me being XS. I really like the galaxy side, not so keen on the bone machine side, I think I would like it a lot more if it fit me better.

I paired it here with my Metallic Midnight Lita's and blue accessories.

Meteor

I recently got this awesome Black Milk jacket from another lovely sharkie.

It was a prototype piece from when Black Milk first started. I guess they decided to go with just the Meteor Top & Dress. It's a shame cause the Jacket is really nice!

I never really wanted the Meteor Dress until now! Once I got the Jacket I really noticed the sparkle the fabric has, it's really pretty :)

I paired it with my Sheer Straps; an impulse purchase when they became limited! So glad I got them, I think they will be good for wearing under dresses too. I sized down in these; my regular size was sold out when I went to buy them, but they actually fit really well.

My JC Watchman boots match the shimmery effect of the jacket, add a mini bag and my outfits complete :)

90's Kid

I've always loved Nirvana, so when I saw this tee in Cotton On I had to buy it :)

To keep with the 90's grunge theme, I wore it with my Black Milk blue tartan leggings.

These are my first pair of Black Milk tartans. I was going to buy the red ones; which are still on my wishlist, but these blue one's are my favourite, they popped up on eBay recently and I got them for around retail price which was really good. 

All my favourite shoes are huge platforms! The chunkiness of the Neo boots are very 90's too.

I bought the whole outfit together with black & blue accessories. I really like this look :)

Illuminati

Here is the other side of my special custom Black Milk Inside Out Dress' Illuminati!

I love the leggings in this print, but have not yet been able to track a pair down in my size. *edit: I now own the Illuminati Leggings too!!*

I thought the print would look awesome in a dress; so I chose it for the reverse side of my 200th piece!

I think this pattern will be a good one to dress up or down, I can match it with a lot of different colours and have it work together.

I paired it here with my Lita Spikes, one of my earlier pairs of Jeffrey Campbell's, I find I don't wear them often anymore, but the black/silver matches the tones of the dress pretty well :)

Barbie Bath

As if Black Milk wasn't awesome enough; they also offer special milestone rewards.

Once you buy 50 pieces from the store you get a $130 gift voucher; I used mine to buy my Nairobi Long Sleeve Dress.

At 100 pieces you can chose the Pop Art print in any style; I chose the Bodycon Dress, I also have the Leggings.

At 200 you get to create your own special custom piece!!

On my second BM anniversary I received my 200+ Club email. 

I had been thinking about what I would chose for a while; I decided on an inside out dress!

You can get anything printed as long as it isn't copyright. So many options! But I really wanted something that was still unique to Black Milk, seeing as other companies now do custom prints also.

Here is my styling of the first side; Barbiebath! My own creation based on the Black Milk Bath series I really love those leggings, and now own 3 out of four; Plumbath (purple), Bloodbath (red) Slimebath (green)! Still looking for the Snowbath (white). *edit: I found Snowbaths! Bath collection complete :) *

I asked for a pink version; I love pink! Obviously seeing as my blog is named Pink Glitter! If there was more of the Glitter Pink fabric and the custom piece could be designer material I probably would have gone with that!

I'm so happy with my special dress!! I came home to it in my mailbox, it was a big surprise! I wasn't expecting it so soon- I only got my email 3 weeks ago :)

Thankyou to everyone at Black Milk for making this happen! Special thanks to Cam for all your help xx

Pegasus

A blue and neutral outfit for today's post. Wearing my Black Milk Pegasus Swim for the first time since I bought it a few months back. 

Another piece I never gave much thought to when it was in-store, but I've been collecting all the Animal Swim's lately. I really like the background image behind the Pegasus; it reminds me of Alphonse Mucha pieces.

I paired the swim with another Black Milk piece; one of my many velvet bodycon skirts- this time in a light blue to match the background of the swim.

I really like how these pieces look paired with one of my favourite pairs of Jeffrey Campbell's; the Stunning. These neutral toned shoes match so much! The T-strap design is always a winner for me :)

Dead Cat

Double Black Milk outfit featuring the Lace Shrug and an unexpected love; Dead Cat Leggings.

I bought these leggings in the last museum release; when they were in store I didn't give them much thought, there was so much else I wanted at the time. 

Looking through the Museum items they caught my eye, reminding me a little of the Abstraction print which I am still looking for. 

I decided to buy the Dead Cat's- named because the pattern features Cat Skeletons all over- and I'm glad I did! I really love them, they look just like patterned leggings until you get up close to see the detail.

I paired them with all black, including another BM purchase; the Lace Shrug, which I decided against keeping, they were just so huge!
