Red, Black and Skulls

My first outfit post for 2012!!! This was literally what I wore and photographed on the first day of the year.

Torrid Red Rhinestone Double Buckle Belt - $24.50US

Torrid Black and Grey Skull Tank - $28.50US
HT Black Lace Moto Jacket - $39.50US
Tres A Go-Go Sunglasses by Tres Noir - $139.00AU

No matter how many years pass I'm still very fond of skulls but I've toned down how I wear them. A little accessory here and there, belt buckle or as shown here in the form of a tank. So when I saw the Torrid Skull Tank I instantly thought how can I wear this in my own way?

The way the model was wearing this item was really wasn't doing it for me so I paired the tank with my black lace moto jacket and the best belt ever! I'm wearing a size 0 in the skull tank but I have to warn you it is very long more of a tunic length. I don't wear tunic's or long tops at all but this fits perfectly under my Pinup Girl Clothing retro pencil skirt. I love the pop of print against the black and red.

The Red Rhinestone Double Buckle Belt is 3 inches thick and really nips in your waist and gives you that hour glass curve. I'm wearing this in a 0 and it's very stretchy and comfortable. I now want all the 3 inch wide belts as this thickness is perfect for me! My only issues is the Rhinestone section on the buckles. The first time I took this belt off I ripped a whole lot of the faux leather off as I pulled it off in the wrong way.

What she wore - Pistols & Plaid

I got some goodies in the mail yesterday morning from Hot Topic so I have to show off my 3 favorites from the order all in one outfit. I mainly go their for shoes but this time 2 items (the tee bellow and the belt featured in my previous post) stood out.

A more casual outfit for me today a well cut yet loose fitting Fine Mess Raglan Tee - $12.98US in a 2xl and my city chic black skinny jeans. The jeans you know all about but they tee is so comfy i felt in love with it instantly and it comes in purple too! Its sold out in larger sizes online right now but its always restocked so I will keep my out out if anyone wants one.

I also got these fantastic Ellie Red Plaid Buckle Pumps which you can find via the link or How Cool as they come in 3 other colours/prints. They have 4 inch heel and are so comfy!

This is my usual casual look but I had to test drive the heels but I think it works.

This month is going to be jam packed on this blog. I will be having a giveaway from Classic Hardware and possibly a Halloween themed giveaway. I've also be testing the shapewear from Bella Bodies so my next post will feature the amazing garments they design.

What she wore - Leopard & Leather

Today my little brother (aged 9) and I went and spent a day in the heart of the city. We walked, talked, went to the Tim Burton Exibition at ACMI and then had lunch.

I got this adorable Dorothy Perkins dress in the mail yesterday (thank you Emma!) and had to wear it out in the sun today.

I love leopard print this year, I've always worn accessories in the print but never as much as I have these days. The print is fantastic its cream and black with a subtle hint of brown on each leopard spot. The cut its fitted at the top with a a-line style skirt on the bottom.

I wore my studded jacket (shown in older posts) as the wind was very chilly once we got into the city. My shoes are nothing too special, a pair of patent black heels from Target a season ago and a touch of red lipstick before I left.

Usually i would wear more of low cut on my chest but this fits perfectly so I feel comfortable enough to wear such a high neckline.

I also wanted to wear my Studded Bow Belt - $7.50 USD today from hot topic. Though in my head i thought they would not match they worked perfectly together. I can't get enough of leather real or faux with studs!

The sleeves are capped with a split and sit so delicately on your shoulder.

Now this dress is a size 20 from Dorothy Perkins but this style and I'm usually a 18 on thats site. I think because of the fabric (has no stretch) this size is possibly smaller than the tagged size of 20. It fits like an Australian 16 and I could fit into a size down but it would be a little too snug on my bust.

I can't find this dress via the website as it was a gift but they have 100's of cute dresses that will catch your eye.
