Alternative Clothing Brands

Hello my freaky darlings!

So with me planning out a new wardrobe I have been looking through a lot of different alternative clothing brands and I have decided to do a wee look over on my favorite alternative brands!

Hell Bunny Angelica Black Polka Dot Tea Dress
Hell Bunny
Hell Bunny is awesome! I love Hell Bunny! I love the name, I love the prints, I love the designs, and I love how easy it is to find its products on the internet!

Mainly Hell Bunny makes adorable swing style and wiggle style dresses that range in length and pattern, though mainly the dresses are knee-length I find.

Poizen BBK Fever Hoodie
Poizen Industries
I think I will call Poizen Industries the 'hoodie and sweater' store, though the brand also features tight dresses and adorable almost lolita-ish coats.

Unlike Hell Bunny, Poizen Industries' products have more modern prints like cats or bunny hoodies and have more of a fitted look.
Annabel Zombie Pinup Skull Skirt

Too Fast
This brand features a lot of great tops featuring really interesting imagery and bright colours like lime green and aqua blue.

The brand does have a few dresses in its collections, most of which are either wiggle dresses or a few short bell dresses.

Lip Service
Bondage Top and Bottom
Gorgeous brand is gorgeous! So much lace, ahhh so dreamy! Unlike the last two brands Lip Service does not really feature patterns, instead focusing on lace and other Victorian or millitary-esque details.

Lip service has a really wide range of products ranging from blouses to intimates with a variety of cuts and styles. Like Hell Bunny it is also really easy to find everywhere online!

Giselle Corset Top
Spin Doctor
If you're into the Victorian, Gothic Lolita or even Steampunk scene than Spin Doctor is definitely the brand to look for. The thing I like about Spin Doctor is how

Colour wise, Spin Doctor features mainly black, khaki green, grey and ruby red and features a lot of buttons and corset detailing.


What about you lovelies? Do you have any favorite clothing brands?

Wardrobe Haul Post

Hello my freaky darlings!

So one of my five New Years resolutions is to develop my own style. Style is a topic that has been on my mine a lot lately and I have switched between multiple style decisions as of late.

But while searching through the magical inter webs I came across the Wardrobe haul posts of Sary Walrus of The Walrus Room, VelvetBat of Bats and Bunnies, and Mary Rose of The Everyday Goth.

All 3 of these bloggers did Wardrobe haul posts of their own, while following an example first laid out by Woxje and I figured that it would be a good way too go about my purchasing decisions (especially with all my prepaid cards burning a hole in my lovely purse)!

So first up was to look at colours!

Not surprisingly my first and major colour is black which is pretty much a staple in my daily and more formal wardrobe. The jewel toned blue, red, purple and green are always great for a pop of colour as is the pink which is my favorite colour. White and grey are both just nice accent colours.

Kitschy prints! Kitschy prints everywhere! Oh how I love some good kitsch in my daily life (particularly for skirts).

Pixel Jewellery - I have recently decided to take up the hobby of making perler bead jewellery and I am sooo excited to express my geekery though my handmade jewellery.

High-waisted Skirts - High-waist skirts are just so flattering when one has a wee bit of a tummy like myself.

Cardigans - I am always cold! And with cardigans I can mix and match outfit looks to create new styles


Waist cinching belts - Great for adding definition and to show off the fact that I have an hourglass shape (also make great pops of colour).

Plunging Necklines - My own arrogance towards my breasts is the main reason (other than price) which keeps me from ever fulling exploring my love for the lolita fashion. So I will add more plunging necklines to my wardrobe!


Poofy styled skirts - I got a lovely red swing skirt recently and it has made my realize how much happier I am in

Gothy hair accessorie - My hair really suits ribbon and flower clips

Lolita Dresses - I really do love lolita dresses and I wouldn't mind adding a few either bittersweet or gothic dresses to my wardrobe (likely Fanplusfriend, Bodyline, or Ebay)
