Shopping#10 — Skull Kitsch

Before we proceed with the ever-growing queue of still-to-be-posted outfits, I’ll show you some of my (relatively) recent purchases for the summer season. They are not the hippie sort of thing that I usually wear when the temperature goes above 25º, but they definitely have the adequate vibe for the pre-summer months (a.k.a. that time of the year when I mostly wear cowboy stuff).

Bershka ‘Our Lady of Skulls’ tank top

A grey tank-top from Bershka with a fancy comic style Our Lady of Guadalupe/Santa Muerte print that looks pretty cool. It’s quite big, but not impossible to wear with some adjustments… and with something underneath, preferably — I’m honestly not prepared to try the Taylor Momsen nipple-tape thing… especially in summer LOL

 

 

Skull & roses T-shirt

This is an extremely cheap T-shirt from the flea market, but that’s exactly what makes it so perfect. Only a genuinely cheap design like this one could capture the skull kitsch concept in its full dimension. I mean, come on: it has a huge skull; it has roses; it has tiny crystal incrustations... What else do you need? The only problem about this T-shirt (aside from it being extremely flammable LOL) is that it’s huge like a f*cking sheet! And it doesn’t have the easiest colour palette either… I’m gonna have a bit of a hard time trying to figure out how to wear it, but I’m sure the result will be awesome :D

[If you’re wondering why you didn’t see the crystals on the skull T-shirt in the picture above, it’s because I accidentally hung it from the reverse side. It has the same print on both sides, so I didn’t even realize until the mess was done LOL]

I bet this T-shirt would look awesome with my denim New York dream-jacket. One day it’ll be mine – I promise! LOL

Misc. bracelets

All these bracelets come from the flea market as well. They all have a really cool, very Motörhead-friendly biker/cowboy/rocker design, which encompasses quite a wide range of my styles. Something tells me I will be using these a lot… In fact, I already have :P

[“WTF you’re looking at?” LOL]

Take A Bite

Hello!

My name is Deadly Bite and I'm a musician - singer, songwriter, guitarrist, amateur producer, future band leader and massive music fan :)

First of all: I don't really consider myself a fashion blogger, since I don't belong to the fashion world and I don't intend to. However, I do consider fashion a great form of artistic expression and a way of making the world a much more interesting place. I've been creating crazy outfits since my teen years (I'm still in my teens, of course ;) ) and I've been thinking it's about time to start documenting them and have some fun talking about the things that inspire me and all that kind of stuff.

I define my style as androgynous and juvenile with a really hard edge, even though I don't like to dress in the same fashion all the time. My looks range from agressive punk/goth to lush hippie glam, including almost anything in between, but whatever I'm wearing, I always try to add a touch of humour ;) I'm not a serious kind of person and I'm afraid that really shows in my wardrobe :P

My budget is quite limited, so I do almost all of my shopping in outlets and second-hand stores, and I use a lot of vintage clothing too. However, that's not a problem since I don't really follow any trends. I focus on creating my own personal versions of the things I like, whether it's designer clothing, underground fashion or just something I've seen in a movie or a music video.

My biggest style references are, of course, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, Marilyn Manson and the boys and girls from Harajuku and Shibuya (you can see some of their incredible looks in Tokyo Fashion! ^^). As you might already suspect, I'm a huge Japan lover! n_n

If you're interested in fashion blogging you should also pay a visit to my good friend Claudia - I stole the idea for my blog from hers, so check that one out too! ;)

Oh, and if you want to know more about me as a musician, check out my SoundCloud to hear some of my live acostic covers and our official Myspace to find out more about my still-in-the-making-band.

Enjoy!
