Inspired Insanity

You may have heard the name Inspired Insanity before on my blog as I've linked to their stunning selection of petticoats and cardigans over the last few years. But recently they have actually started their own line of garments and I'm absolutely smitten with the fabrics and cuts!

From sweet florals to flamingos, skulls to strawberries and my absolute favorite - death moths! 

BUTTERFLY EFFECT ~ PSYCHOBILLY PINUP TEA DRESS - $68.95

Peasant style swing dresses have always had a spot in my heart and the Butterfly Effect tea dress is amazing - full skirted so you can twirl all day long, fitted at the bust and waist to really accentuate your curves. I'm wearing the size 18 to accommodate my bust and it works out to be a fit much like the 2XL in Hell Bunny. The waist has a little bit of room and the fabric minimal stretch so be sure to accommodate your bust then tailor the waist if need be. I find right now I get perfect fit on my waist at times but then it's looser at the waist but for this style I'm loving the fit. 

I did have some issues with the zip at one point but the staff at Inspired insanity were very fast to send me a replacement and fix the situation with ease. They were so sweet and happy to help which just what you want out of your shopping experience. 

This print - pure magic! Full of Death moths/butterflies and lots of skulls! It's dark and spooky so obviously I adore it! 

HELL BUNNY MIKAELA ~ ROCKABILLY FUR HOODED SWING COAT - $139.95

Womens Black Gloves with Lilac Dots-Ladies Italian Leather Gloves - $85.00

Next I have one of my all time favourite winter coats from Hell Bunny! If you've followed this blog for a few years you might have noticed I have a huge HB coat collection and once I own one I usually order every colour way. For many years the Shonna fur deep v neckline coat was my go to but this year I've snapped up the Mikaela and it's perfect!

A swing almost nautical winter themed coat (is that a thing, well if it's not I just created it) with bold black faux fur cuffs and hood! The black velvet border trim, pockets and bold waist panel make this the prefect coat for curves as it draws the eye to the small of your waist and has a belt like effect.

While most of my coat are red or black I can't say no to teal as it's perfectly paired with my red hair and this specific shade of teal is absolutely delicious.

Size wise I opted for the 2XL as these boobies need heap of room. This style buttons up with ease and as the arms are super roomy as is the waist. You can layer up like crazy beneath as there is room for a thick cardigan or dress in these sleeves.

I wanted to shoot this coat with a little more neck and boobie showing as sometimes a full button up can shorten my favourite features. The length is covers your toosh and pairs perfectly with skirts, frocks and jeans. I can't wait to style this when it gets super chilly!

For this look I wanted a pair of gloves that really pop so I chose my beloved black and lilac polka dot leather gloves from Have to Have.  These really pop against the teal and look amazing. These have become my go to glove each winter and they are they last forever.

Many thanks to the amazing Julz Photography for snapping these shot of me! I can't wait to plan our next shoot!

Death Moth

Being an horror fiend, I have always admired the Death Moth from the cover of Silence of the Lambs to the extent of planning a tattoo and photo shoot with the iconic imagery included. So when Sourpuss released their new skater dress and cardigan I instantly needed them both in my life.

SOURPUSS DEATHS HEAD MOTH SKATER DRESS - $44.00

SOURPUSS DEATHS HEAD MOTH CARDIGAN - $48.00

Bordello TEEZE-14 Black-White Patent Platform Pump - $112.00

If you are in the market for the best fitting long sleeve cardigan look no further than Sourpuss. Over the last 5 years my Sourpuss cardie collection has grown and I can't get enough of their embroidered pieces. Made from a super stretchy and soft cotton these cardigans pair with everything and can be layered over skater dresses or worn on their own tucked into high waisted skirts and pants.

The bold Death Moth patch on each side of this cardigan is stunning. Bright, intricate and perfectly created and the red jewel buttons add an extra pop of colour. I'm wearing an XL and it fits like a dream with enough room to button up over my bustline. As I'm a huge fan of more cropped styles I have started wearing all of my cardigans tied in a small bow right at the small of my waist. This really emphasizes my curves and I love the look.

When I discovered the new print I had to snap up anything that was available in the range so I paired the cardigan with the matching skater dress and I love the result! The print works so well with the black cardigan and even though it's a little lighter in colour it really pairs wonderfully. I'm absolutely smitten with this vibrant print and I really home more and more styles will be released with featuring it.

I'm wearing the skater dress in a size XL and it's a perfect fit. With a mini style length, cap sleeve and fitted skater style at the bust and waist this is the perfect casual everyday dress. While I love this dress I really wish it came with 3/4 sleeves as I would live in it all year round but the cardigan helps with this.





SOURPUSS DARK SAILOR DEADLY DEVILLE PURSE BLACK - $53.00

LUCHINY EYE DOLL PLATFORMS - SOLD OUT

This season I've added another Deadly Deville purse to my collection! I've fallen hard for this style and this is my third as it's just the most perfect hand bag. A perfect size without being too large, jam packed with pockets, zips and all the little features you need. This season the Deadly Deville has been released in a nautical anchor print but instead of navy and white this is a black/white version and it is perfect. As I don't tend to wear navy often I love how the black pairs with everything in my wardrobe and I take this to work daily.

It's safe to say that every version of this purse that is released will be mine. I currently have the houndstooth, black and beige and now this nautical version and they rock! 

Next month I will hopefully get my hands on even more new styles as I'm traveling to the US for a month and I need lots of new casual goodies for my trip. So watch out for another review and lots of photos when I'm abroad.

Many thanks to Michael Alesich for snapping these images for me and I can't wait to create more with you this year.
