Outfit of the Day

One last WGT outfit! For the last day, I knew I had to move around the city a lot, so I wanted an easy outfit. I chose a pair of Lip Service PVC leggings and my new gorgeous Queen of Darkness top, the poncho with big collar! It's a long sleeved loose shirt with knitted sleeves and chiffon sides. A wonderful fit and the perfect addition to a slim pair of pants.

Top - Queen of Darkness poncho with big collar

Leggings - Lip Service

Boots - Unif High Trench

Queen of Darkness New Collection!

Queen of Darkness just sent me a few pictures of their new collection that went live on Monday. I wanted to share a few of my favourites with you, I think they did a great job with choosing models that are edgy and work well for alternative styles, and the clothes are gorgeous, as always!

First up is the minidress decorated with zippers. Simple cut but the zipper details add just the right kind of roughness and edge! You can find the dress here.

I have a special place in my heart/wardrobe for boleros. This one is made of lace and has a little stand-up collar, which gives it a great silhouette. I think my lace tattoo would super cool with this one! Here's a link to the bolero.

My other half absolutely needs this. He's more muscular than the model in the picture and I think the vest will look even better on him! The vest has just the right amount of details, not too much to look costume-y, but enough to keep it interesting. You can find the vest here.

I like Queen of Darkness' style in general, the clothing generally has a neat, simple silhouette with some edgy details. The pieces are easy to wear as everyday wear, but there are some that are very flamboyant and great for clubbing. The everyday items are too club-worthy when combined with something flashier, so they double as work wear and club wear for me.

Queen of Darkness Lace Top

I found it hard to bond with this lace top, so photoshoot time it was! The top is by Queen of Darkness, you can find it here. It's gathered below the breasts and has trumpet sleeves. The hem is flared. It's quite tricky to wear! That's why I decided to try and combine it with a pink brocade waist corset I got from a clothes swap.

Corset - Second hand

I'm wearing one of the longest false lashes I own, I felt the pink and orange look
needed something extra!

I'm learning to do things with my hands while posing, it might take some more
practice ;P

The top makes a cute little frill at the bottom edge!

What better way to bond with a piece of clothing than a little photoshoot! I think I'm having a pink phase with my clothing, first the pink Lip Service dress and now this corset ;D

Red Dress With Lace

My b-day party got moved to January (stupid venue cancelled last minute, so disappointing) but my parents are taking me out to a fancy restaurant on Saturday to celebrate. I love food so it's an excellent way to party ;D

I want to wear something fancy to the fancy restaurant, so I tried on a new dress. I don't often wear red, and even then only muted red, but I quite like this dress. I'm partial to lace, so it helps a lot, and the tulle at the hem of the underskirt is lovely.

Heels - Pleaser

What do you think? Does red work with my hair color?

Date Night Dream Outfits!

Queen of Darkness suggested a collage post for an outfit for an event, night out or something to that effect, and after thinking on it for a while, I came up with a great idea! One of their ideas was a date night, but since it usually takes two people to make it a date, I asked if my other half would like to compile his dream date night outfit and I could make mine to match his. He agreed!

Hers

Lace bracelet - lacy jewellery compliments the tulle and lace skirt nicely.

Lace and pearls necklace - with a low cut neckline, a choker-like necklace gives the look definition

Lace and leather jacket - I might feel a bit exposed in just the corset top, so this jacket hides and reveals just enough!

Dipped hem fluffy skirt - you already know I love this skirt ;D

Plastic boned corset - a rigid, tight-laced corset might not be the best choice for going out to eat, but a plastic boned one lets you move and eat more freely.

New Rock Magneto heels - the skirt just begs for gorgeous heels!

His

Military style coat - for a masculine look, this coat is perfect

Black shirt with studs - simple but with nice details, works with everything!

Pants with decorative pockets - The pockets keep most of the decoration up to go well with the shirt

Bracelet with studs - a black bracelet with silver studs is something that works with many outfits, it just gives it that finishing touch.

New Rock String shoes - we share a love for New Rock footwear ;P I think there are around eight pairs in our apartment. Bulky shoes work well with most of the details of the outfit being higher up.

So this is what we would wear to a romantic night out. We like to go out to eat at restaurants and afterwards come home to watch a movie or play some Diablo 3 together. We have slightly different taste in music, but usually both of us have enjoyed going to listen to bands, even if it's only the other one's favourite artist playing. And goth clubs are always great!

My other half, Arttu, wears gothic style clothing too, so he knew just what to choose for the outfit. Queen of Darkness has quite a nice selection for men, unlike many brands. Arttu is always on the lookout for some cool clothing when we go to festivals, because he sings in a band and naturally needs something posh to wear on stage. I think he always looks good, nice clothes are just a little bit extra ;D If you want to listen to his band, click here! I love their stuff, I'm a sucker for gothic rock and could listen to him sing all night long!

This is us!

I'm a Queen of Darkness Ambassador!

Queen of Darkness, on of my favourite goth clothing brands, contacted me and asked if I would like to be an ambassador for them. Naturally I said yes! What this basically means in that I'll be able to offer you, my lovely readers, some sneak peeks into their upcoming collections and review clothing items so you will know which ones will fit you best. I'm really excited about this collaboration and hope that I can provide you with valuable information!

I own a few items by Queen of Darkness already, they always have a well-stocked stall at WGT. This year I bought a new bolero there, because I had worn my old one to pieces, so just getting a new similar one was a great choice! The year before I got one of my favourite skirts to wear at events, the layered long skirt with dipped hem. It was a bit expensive, so I didn't buy it right away but decided to think on it. It turned out I just couldn't get it out of my head, and that usually means the garment will see lots of use, so after a few beers I went back to the stall to buy it. And I'm glad I did!

Here's a few outfits I've put together so far with the skirt:

This one was taken in Leipzig, the day after I bought the lovely skirt.
I paired it with a Burleska corset and Pennangalan glitter shoes.

Here me and my skirt are at Lumous Gothic Festival.
It works well with a feather choker and pvc-ruffle I made myself,
a DeadlyGirlz corset and a pair of heelless New Rocks.

And once again with the same DeadlyGirlz corset,
this time at club Bella Morte. I completed the gothic
princess look with a clock hand tiara!

The skirt works super well with a corset or a corset top, because it not very full at the waist, making the waistline slim and neat. The hi-lo cut lets you show off your footwear and keeps you from tripping over your hems while dancing. Tulle top layer makes the skirt look light and soft, while adding fullness where it is needed. All in all a very nice skirt and well worth the price because it's so easy to combine with accessories and tops!
