My all seeing eye design. I love using one vibrant colour in my designs that really makes it pop, but otherwise the illustration/design is fairly simplistic. Take a look and enjoy! xx
My Etsy store is opening up soon! Keep a lookout.

Today's look is long sheer stripes, messy buns, and dark gothic accents! Took a walk down to the train tracks and found that I couldn't be in abetter place for this ootd! The play on neutrals and lines worked out awesome! So Just pulled my hair to the side in a loose messy bun, put on my fav deep plum lipstick, cross necklace, and chunky black heels (that I'm obsessed with right now). Very simple, perfect for anytime of the day! Enjoy xx

Hello hello guys, haven't done a true OOTN yet, usually they can go either way but this look is certainly more suited for night! So I was super blessed with a wonderful gift from my great aunt which was this absolutely stunning shirt that she bought in the 60's when she was much younger! The moment I layed my eyes on it I was in love. The beading work is unreal. I haven't seen anything comparable around nowadays. As soon as you hold it, you can feel the quality of work, how well they are sewn into the fabric, and it's shocking how heavy the piece actually is. Anyway, so with that being said, clearly it's basically a stand alone piece keeping everything else pretty minimal to let the shirt shine. Worn with slightly sheer black tights and strappy black and silver heels to play off the metallics in the shirt. Make-up and accessories were kept fairly simple, but played with a kind of upscale hippy vibe, with my natural waves, deep red lipstick and my simple chunky gold watch.
Do you have any vintage favs?! Comment below, I would love to hear about your favourites!

So here is my look last night! This is a go-to combo as it's a great mix of flattering pieces, that can be super toned-down casual but you can easily go out without changing a thing. A few of my fav pieces here, my old Nirvana tee (arms are cut off), my a-line leather jacket, high-waisted light jean shorts (they have had there share of tough love, and they become more distressed as the days go by, but I love it!) and finally my new platform chunky heels (that I'm currently obsessed with). Hair is kept simple, just day-old straightened and tousled (But I would wear whatever is natural for you because that works well for this look). Simple thicker black liquid eye-liner, and plum lipstick!
Do you have an all-time fav piece? Or just something that you find you can throw on with anything? I live for those easy day-to-day pieces, would love to hear some of yours?!
Enjoy xx

Hey guys! So I wanted to show a night-time look as I haven't had a chance to do yet! It's not a super 'dressy' night-time look, which I will do, this is more of a casual outfit for maybe just going to a friends, or a low-key pub, or just out for a walk through the city. Easily change up a few things and you could make this look much dressier, while still using the same basic components. Just tying up or tucking in the blouse, losing the casual leather jacket for a dressier one or a blazer, and a ballerina bun instead of the hat. Any of those would amp this look up quite a bit.
So for this a paired my slightly bomber-style leather jacket (as mentioned it has more of a casual vibe, it's also a bit warmer), with my dark jean blouse done up to the top and black high-waisted pants with leather panels on legs. Paired with my new (and very exciting) chunky black suede heels, a dark jewel-crusted necklace, large gold arrow rings and my floppy cranberry knit hat. I was perfectly comfortable, warm (was a bit chilly for a September night), and could easily walk to pubs as we ventured around the city! xx

My Hopeless Wanderer Tri Colour Pieces <3 I absolutely adore this quote. One of my all-time favourites and that's saying something because I am addicted to great quotes! I plan to sell prints of different artwork soon, my Etsy store is in the works!
Keep a look out for my work to come :)
Until then, enjoy :)
Hola! So today was a black-on-black kind of day, which for this girl is possibly every other day! I absolutely love black. It looks great on everyone, any skin tone, age or body type! It's workable for day, obviously great for night, and looks somewhat put together even when it's a grungy or dressed down look. Today was some sort of messy ballerina bun, with my purple tortoise glasses (I think I am basically blind without them or my contacts), a loose fitting distressed/loosely woven sweater, black high-waisted shorts with spikes up the sides (love them), and finally my all time favourite pair of shoes, my combats. They have been through everything with me and the more they go through, the more I love them. I am not looking forward to when I need to get new ones (as these are about to start ripping...a sure sign of love) and have to start at the beginning again with something that is going to be too new and shiny for my liking! Anyways, thats it, pretty simple. I just accessorized with a black beaded wrap bracelet, a layered cross necklace, and of course a beautiful deep plum lipstick! xx

As mentioned one of my biggest obsessions certainly has to be clothes. I think the reason I adore fashion, is it's ability to showcase so much about a person. A well paired outfit can bring out an uncanny amount of confidence and personality in anybody! Whether it's something super simple, or edgy and fashion forward anyone can find what ignites that awesome-outfit high. To hopefully help that along I'm going to be posting about my style trends and infinite amounts of OOTDs to help give daily outfit ideas.
This is an easy outfit for day-to-day outings, especially with the leather jacket (if the weather calls for it), and can take you right into the night! Ironman bodysuit (could replace with any graphic tee or bodysuit you own) and any pair of ripped denim (I like a looser, boyfriend fit jean to offset the fitted body suit) in lighter or acid-wash denim really lightens this look up and makes it feel more casual. To finish off I paired with my favourite chunky black heels. These aren't very high, I think they're around 2", but you can always go higher! Heels/wedges with thick chunky straps would look good too, especially if you want to dress it up a bit more! xx

Okay, so summer is coming to an end (which I am still fully in denial about) but there are a few things to look forward to! There is one that excites me the most though...
Halloween! I absolutely adore it. In my opinion, Halloween far more awesome than any other holiday. The one chance people get to express themselves or be as crazy as you would like to be. For me (because I'm quite a bit of a nerd), it's generally a chance to dress up as a superhero, villain, or something that could be from a nightmare. Why not? I think that you should do whatever makes you feel like your freeing something! Or just the most fun/affordable option that lets you, let loose! Even if you have kids to take care of as well, do not forget yourself. It could be a great chance for you to play around (as you may not get many chances to do so!) or a chance for you and your significant other to have some fun! Either way, here is an almost-entirely-homemade costume from last year that is now top ranked a personal favourite. My Silent Hill nurse costume. So much fun and seriously creepy! Made for some awesome pictures as well!

I'll post soon on some affordable options including at-home creations, or the use of make-up and how it can create an amazing costume for next to nothing! So try to stay positive, I know it's hard but there is still life after summer, I promise!
