Sparkles and Monochrome- Christmas Shopping

Hey everyone and welcome to today's blog post!

I was out looking at Christmas decorations when I noticed that there were a lot of darker colours and quirkier things adorning the shelves! I thought it would make a nice blog post so I hope that you enjoy looking at the pretty sparkly shiny things. I love Christmas! 

These black and white decorations are what prompted me to make the post because I was looking at them thinking... god they are so gawth! 

This beautiful decoration really caught my eye with its gorgeous colours and ornate design.  

I love this one, black and silver are a win in my book! 

Ok so this just screams Tim Burton, it seems a strange choice for Christmas but I'm ok with it!

Yeah I don't know what this is meant to be but it was 40 euro and it looks like a medieval weapon so I thought I'd give it a feature! It was heavy too. Very odd!

Cat cat cat! I like this one, it's soooo cute. Look at those faces!

The imagery isn't particularly gawth on this bag but I love it so I thought I'd share. There are a lot of animal themed decorations out this year!

I'll just leave this here... hehehe...  

Well that's it for this week, I really wanted to share the things that caught my gothically inclined eye with all of you! Do you like Christmas? Do you go for traditional decorations or do you goth things up a little bit? Maybe you hate Christmas with a fiery passion? Hahah let me know!

Outfit Post-Bat Skirt

Hey everyone!

This is an outfit post from a little while ago before the weather here turned really bad. It's been windy rainy and miserable the last while, Winter has well and truly set in!

I am wearing a Hellbunny bat skirt, mesh tights, doc martens, cut out crop top from Boohoo.com and a plain cami underneath!

The skirt is so epic and swishy, I have shown it before on this blog in my birthday post, I wear it a lot. Lately I've been wearing leggings instead of tights for extra warmth.

I love this style of top with the cut out! I'm also wearing my usual lace gloves. 

I had a boring jacket on top so nothing worth getting a picture of! 

That's it for today's post! What have you guys been wearing now that it has been heading into Winter? Do you layer up leggings and longer tops up with lighter things or do you have a separate Winter collection? Let me know in the comments! 

I layer everything up and have a few Winter items. I don't like big bulky jumpers and I'm very picky about what looser flowy things I wear!

Until next time,
Rebecca 

October Favourites!

Hello there gorgeous people of the internet! 

Today I wanted to do an October favourites post as I had a few things that I was really into this past month! 

1) Blogging! I have LOVED blogging this past month, I have really enjoyed having an outlet for some of my hobbies and interests and I have loved talking to everyone too! The internet is just way more fun when you are part of the goth blogging community if you ask me! 

2) So like, lately I have been really feeling the whole over the knee boot trend. I got these in New Look for a very reasonable 50 euro and have been loving them. They go with quite a lot surprisingly enough and are quite comfortable once I have two pairs of socks on. They are a wide fit which I didn't realise until I wore them the first time. These were quite the bold new purchase for me as they are unlike a lot of my usual footwear but hey, a girl's gotta have variety right? 

I stole this from my Instagram.
 They look GREAT over jeans too for a colder weather look. 

3) Well I do love a good bargain and so I was delighted to spot this lipstick on sale in Boots in exactly the colour and finish I was looking for. It goes best over a lip liner in the same colour but it is somewhat transparent and shiny making it an easy one to wear during the day or in a rush. I love these lip crayons as they apply so nicely and don't take long. If I am in a rush I can pop on some Mascara, fill in my brows, pop some colour on my lips and look done up super fast. 

4) I had been neglecting my skin this summer and so I bought some of the Dr. Organic skincare line after hearing about how great it is. I have been really pleased with the results and have been especially loving the face wash, dead sea mask and rescue remedy eye roller! I intend to really keep up with a good skincare routine from now on! 

5) I really enjoyed using the Leo Bancroft hair mask pictured below, my bleached hair needs a lot of TLC pretty much all of the time and I get these sachets in Tesco for 1.30 and they really work. This product along with copious amounts of coconut oil have both really kept my hair looking vaguely decent which is nice! Then I have also been loving making my own purple shampoo by mixing some of the Directions Violet hair dye in with my shampoo and leaving it for a few minutes before rinsing. That really helped me get my hair a more white shade in October, I am currently more yellow toned after getting my roots done but a wash or two with that DIY shampoo should get me back to a cooler toned look. 

6) Cold weather has set in which means that I have been really enjoying wearing patterned tights with my skirts and shorts where possible. I also wear leggings underneath my skirts if it is really cold or jeans but if I can get away with it I like to dress up too. This is an entire bowl full of patterned tights! 

That is it for today's blog post. What did you guys love during the month of October? Any particular outfits or make-up products? Maybe you picked up an old hobby or started reading a new book? Let me know in the comments!
