Mori Girl inspiration post

A little less then a month ago I promised to post more, and...

since then school and various personal things have been kicking my butt- honestly I don't know if I'll be able to contribute much to this blog in the future because the workload is only going to increase- I've only updated my personal lj four times this month so far and I'm usually a friendslist spammer, so that's saying something!

anyway here's an inspiration post by way of appology.

I 've noticed Mori Girl style getting popular this year favored by people looking to rest their eyes from all the sugary sweetness in the lolita community- in the rest of the fashion world, kind of a twee look is starting to become popular as well and there's a decent overlap in style, so it should be easy to find pieces at your local mall or boutique to add to your mori girl wardrobe.














































hahaha as for me, although I wouldn't mind the 'Mori Girl life style', I think I'm more of a 'Swamp Girl' myself... Read More......

ffffffffffff

This is the most lucid I've been for awhile so I thought I'd take the chance to update.

I swear I didn't mean to forget to post for almost a month, but words cannot describe how busy I've been- expect a few 'catch up' posts every now and then because shoving it all into one post would be a tad overwhelming.

I really want to do another inspiration post sometime soon, but in the mean time, here's my tumblr- http://carbonidiot.tumblr.com/

I pretty much reblog anything that inspires me or that I think would look awesome with the eyeburning color scheme.

Warning: off the top of my head, inspiring words are

deconstruction, polkadots, porno, bondage, fetish, bandages, meat hooks, lace, garters, uniforms, tattoos, nosebleeds, vivisection, fur and gore gore gore.

It's not as horrible as I make it sound, but personally I take a lot of inspiration from guro/erotic and grotesque imagry, so the content may be disturbing to some.

hahaha there's more fashion related content on there then I make it sound too...

anyway there was an epic los angeles meetup/potluck last saturday so here's what I wore:

Headband: forever 21

Vest:INC

Blouse: from goodwill

Skirt: hand made

Socks: forever 21

Boots: goodwill

Parasol: Baby the stars shine bright

Purse: H&M

Fuck yeah fridays-

1. Own a macbook? Tired of that smooth modern exterior? Well maybe the bookbook is for you- http://www.twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook/

Super stylish, especially if you don't want to be toting that distinctively minimalist laptop in lolita, aristocrat or steampunk!

2. Check out this Galliano fashion show- http://community.livejournal.com/fashin/4811217.html

Men in corsets? Yes! Men in underwear? Yes! Men in sock garters? Yes! Men with samurai swords strapped to their heads? Erm... yes!

3. One of my friends is having a concert next week- I'm hella excited xD

4. SUPER inspired and excited by my designs for next week's illustration class- the theam is stripes and a graphic art style so let's have some inspiration images I snapped from the teacher's art books

5. Mixing it up with that black x white empire waisted baby jsk I'm sure everyone's familiar with by now- protip: if the empire waist isn't flattering on you, try sticking a waist coat of a cropped jacket over it- tada! Changed waistline!

Thinking about kicking it old school at Mayuka Project's concert with that jsk and a bxw headdress. Yes, I did just say headdress- it's been awhile since we've seen some of those in lolita fashion :'D

Sorry for the haitus

Okay, so I was at my friend's house chilling before we drove back to LA and she was checking her email and regular websites and... I saw that picture (formerly) at the top of this blog and I went 'Oh lawd- I got that dyejob forever ago!'

Anyway, long story short, I haven't been updating because of personal reasons, also I've been busy like a mofo during break.

SO on to relevant material-

I was on a shopping report at melrose the other day and holy shit-

Vivienne coming to LA?! It's not like I have the money, but I'll be happy to camp outside the store and drool!

It's pretty wierd, I checked the official site and google fu'd it, but there seems to be no relevant info about when it will open up? I'll be swinging over to melrose occasionally, so I'll be sure to keep you guys updated! (currently all the windows are blocked so you can't see in side.... the biulding is pretty big though)

Here's the homework that was due after break

Yup, there it is, nothing much I got to say about it...

and currently working on a arm scythe princess drape for studio- ahhaha I'm sure this is probably tedious newbie stuff to some of you, but it's really exciting! We have to drape two striped dresses next week to use as reference for illustration, so I hope y'all will find that more entertaining~
