Hello Darkness, My Old Friend
With Stan Lee Comic Con just around the corner and me being in “cosplay mode“, it just dawned on me over the weekend how close Halloween is! Not that I need an excuse to wear black, but I was definitely in the mood to pull out some black lace, black boots, and black knee highs. But to be honest, the real reason I wore this outfit was really to go with my bat print nails!! I’ve been using Espionage Cosmetics nail wraps for a couple years now…

Witching Hour
Today’s outfit reminds me of my sophomore year English teacher who used to dress like she was always in the ’70s – bell bottoms, lace, bell sleeves, and lots of crochet! I’m usually not one for jumpsuits or one piece outfits, but I love the unique crochet detail on this piece and how it seamlessly flows into the shorts portion of the onesie. With the right accessories, this could even be considered the outfit for the modern witch, don’t you…

Cropped and Flared
I’ve been in an all black mood lately (probably after trying on my Vader cosplay too many times) and thought I would take a short break from cosplay making to do one last outfit post before the madness next week! Crop tops seem to be all over the place these days and given that I’m not 16, I normally would not be on the look out for one. But being the shopping addict that I am, I spotted this cute one…

Sorcerer’s Black
I recently attended the San Jose Toy Show, which not only included tons of old and new toys, but also had a few craft booths, one of which was jewelry and other hand made goods from Raven Jade Creations. The moment I saw teeth, bones, claws, and other oddities on her jewelry stand, I was completely mesmerized. She has an amazing gift of making decayed objects look beautiful and wearable. Sure, you might need to get over the fact that…

Animal Instincts
When I was growing up, it was extremely common to see people wearing real fur. Yes, there were still protests and random “red paint” incidences in the news, but it definitely was not as frowned upon as it is today. As an animal lover, I’ve never been an advocate of wearing real fur. And on top of that, having had 3 pet rabbits when I was a kid, I could never imagine myself wearing something that might be my pet!…

Shades of Black – The All Black Outfit
I admit I can go a little overboard with wearing an all black outfit sometimes since it’s one of my favorite colors. However, when I saw this Diane Von Furstenberg Giovanna top, which reminded me of a mix of lace and spiderwebs, I knew I wanted to pair it with a black pencil skirt. And L.A.M.B. makes some of the most figure flattering pencil skirts I have ever seen. After that, it just turned into a continuation of black, black,…
