Wicked Whimsy

heck yeah. Got a leather (or possibly faux-leather, not for sure) lace-up black belt, double-breasted NY&Co. wool peacoat, and a thigh-length PURPLE coat as well (that was made in the USA and feels like a wool blend as well). To be fair, the NY&Co. coat needs dry cleaned, there’s a tear in the lining, and it’s missing a button – but it was like…$3.50. The total was $15. SWEET. Pictures soon. I’m thinking I’ll just replace all of the buttons and do…hot pink? blue? something.

Looking at Etsy…found some neat stuff. like Bonzie’s shop…

I think I’m going to attempt making a skirt like that. Black and grey, chains or black pearls…and I’ve got lots of leftover leather for the buckles.

I also found, via Outsapop Trashion, a link to Loved to Death taxidermy jewelry…

Gothic Noir Fascinator Bat Skull Cameo

and I know everyone in the blogosphere has been going on about it for ages (or at least, I remember three mentions, but for some reason never clicked through to the website) but I just discovered Paraphernalia jewelry. I love the Wonderland collection specifically, along with the Anatomica collection and the Scientia collection.
