Fashion From My Perspective: H&M

Hello everyone!

Yes, this Fashion From My Perspective post will be about H&M. I suppose everyone has been there once in their life -or at least knows it- and maybe you've even brought something there. I've been going to H&M for at least eight years, and even though I've changed a lot throughout the years, H&M -for me- has always been a shop where I can go to and find an outfit that I like, no matter what my style is. I know some of you just don't go there because it's some awful hipster shop where they only sell weird brown-coloured stuff and hoodies with horse-prints, but that's not true at all. If you look carefully you'll see that they sell things in H&M that are beyond awesome.

A smart thing to do is to check out your local H&M store often -I do it almost every weekend. Because the diffrent collections change every week or two, they have new clothes all the time. 

Another thing about H&M is; they sometimes sell stuff that's overpriced (their pants are 40 euro's most of the time. I think that's alot) but they also sell nice things that are only 5 euro's or even less. Clothes are even cheaper when it's sale, it's a good idea to go shopping at H&M when it's sale. It's a great way to save money, if you -like me- have an expensive taste (brands like Hell Bunny, Living Dead Souls, Cupcake Cult and bandshirts are expensive).

Don't know about your city, but mine has 5 diffrent H&M stores. And there's only one that I often go to. So also try to look at the diffrent stores in your city, because apparently there is a H&M where they mostly sell work-clothes, a store for men only, a store where they sell underwear and pyjama's, a kids store, and a store where they sell stuff for teens and people who like Nirvana and the Ramones (like me). 

Okay, now comes the fun part. I'm going to show you what I've brought at H&M in the past couple of years, plus the price. Please forgive the weird angle of the pictures and stuff, but I almost got myself killed beause I had to stand on an office chair to get my whole bed (with Harry Potter duvet cover, you can't see it properly but well) on the photo and I nearly fell of a few times. 

 First, my shirts, tops, hoodies, etc.:

Black zipper hoodie - €20
Pink shirt with pocket - €9,95
(I brought that for school okay, I needed it because someone wanted us to sing a song and wear happy colours so I was like 'fuck the system' and I brought pink. Don't know what I'm doing with my life but okay)
Black ribcage shirt - €10
Black shirt with pocket - €9,95
Ramones shirt - €15
Nirvana shirt - €15
Black sweater with white stars - €25
Black shirt with buttons - €20
Basic black top - €9,95
Top with smiley - €20
Nirvana top - €20
Black lace top - €9,95
Black top with silver skull - €5
Black basic top - €9,95

And my jeans/trousers/skirts:

Black legging - €25
Olive leopard print skinny jeans - €10
Grey jeans with patches - €40
Dark jeans - €20
Ripped jeans - €40
Tutu skirt - €25
Black jeans - €20
Black leather immitation jeans - €40

I also brought this dress for the Christmas Ball at my school.
I only never got to wear it there because I was ill. I did wore it at Christmas with my family though.
It cost me €19,95 which may very well be the cheapest dress I've ever brought. I intended to wear it with an underbust black corset, but I didn't because you can eat more without one, haha.

 I brought this set of bracelets a while ago for €7,50

 This is a picture I took over two years ago with my phone. It's a pair of pants I brought for €40 and I've worn it at least three times a week for two years straight, until the red became pink and it had a hole in it.
I also used to have a really cool red t-shirt with suspenders print and a print with roses that said 'be true to your dreams, Queen of Rock' but I can't find a picture of it.

 I hope this post was interesting, and I wish all of you lots of fun on your next shopping trip!

Fashion From My Perspective: Seapunk

Hello everyone,

Sorry it took so long, but here's my new Fashion From My Perspective post about Seapunk.

Source

Seapunk is a very new subculture, that origined from social network sites like Twitter and Tumblr. The subculture is still wearing training wheels, but it's already starting to gather speed. For the music, Seapunk is a funky, bass and juke like genre that uses samples from video games and other sea like movies, music, etc. Fire For Effect is a Los Angeles based Seapunk producer and loves the sound of liquid, tranquil, and ocean sounds. Another example of Seapunk music is Unicorn Kid, you can listen to one of his tracks below. It's hard to say what the first splash was; it could have been the Tropicult EP Zombelle released with fellow swimmer Myrrh Ka Ba in July. It might be the frequent postings about aquatic lifestyles that Lil' Wayne did a while back. Or maybe it's just fun to create music like this. It's very difficult to describe what Seapunk exactly is, because it's at that perfect level where the sound is still undefined, but immediately recognizable. 

 

What's so special about Seapunk is that, with the very little Seapunk music availlable due to the extremely short time span it's been around for, people began to post stuff on Tumblr and Twitter that defined the sound of Seapunk. Think a mix of aqua colours like turqoise,  plus bubbles, yin yangs and dolphines. Like the music, I find it hard to descibe the Seapunk fashion. Here are some pictures:

As you can see, the fashion matches the aqua-like vibe Seapunk has, and I think that aqua-vibe is the main thing that describes the fashion. I can't really tell what kind of clothes you should buy if you are looking for a Seapunk look, just take your inspiration from the images in this post and other Seapunk pictures on the internet, and dye your hair turqoise or blue if your parents allow you to. I hope that you've learned more about Seapunk from this post, and I really hope the subculure will continue to grow and become more defined, and maybe even mainstream. That would be pretty cool.

My Online Orders

Hello everyone,

I've ordered some stuff online in the past few weeks, and my last order arrived yesterday. These are the things I brought:


These are the three wristbands I ordered on attitudeholland.com
They arrived about a week ago, and I've worn the first wristband on the picture - the spiked one, in case your eyes are really bad - everyday. At the Metropolis Festival last sunday, I also wore the wristband with the bats on my other arm. I got sunburned really bad, and now I have a stripe on both arms where the wristbands were, haha.
I am very, very happy with these wristbands. The brand, Bullet 69, has many more of them, with more studs, or in diffrent colours or prints such as checks, stars, skulls, piano keys, pretty much everything you can imagine.
The wristbands are made from real leather, so they will
- hopefully - stay nice and beautiful for a very long time.

I have also ordered two lovely items from the awesome Lithuanian site fansasmagoria.eu  that arrived 2 days ago

I've ordered a jacket and a pair of bondage pants previously, and I need to say this: the shipping is great. Both my previous order and this one arrived in 7 days, whilst my order from attitudeholland arrived in about 14 days. Pretty strange, because attitudeholland is a Dutch site and I live in the Netherlands, and Lithuania is VERY FAR AWAY. But, anyways, let's get back to my order. I ordered this awesome sweater -which normally is €59,60, but it was on sale for €49,42 until the 30th of June- and this adorable Nightmare Before Christmas bag for €19,20.


The sweater is so cool. It has a tiny grey bat print allover the sweater, it has very long sleeves with lacing and eyelets, and you can simply zip them off if you want to. It also has a cute hood with tiny ears. I've worn it with sleeves yesterday and without today, and both styles create a whole diffrent look, which is handy if you - like me - like to play with diffrent styles. My little sister also loves my sweater, and my parents like it too. 




My new Nightmare Before Christmas bag is also epic. 

My little sister thinks it's cool, my mom thinks it's cute and my dad thinks it's creepy. I think it's the coolest bag in the universe. Everything I need fits in it - my mobile phone, the card I have to use in the bus/tram/underground (it's called an OV-chipcard here and everyone uses it to check themselves in when they use Publick Transport instead of buying a ticket, but I don't know if other countries have a simliar sistem) the small bag I keep my spare lenses, liquid for my lenses and my glasses in case I lose one in, and my wallet. And the bag is only 24 centimeters in diameter. I love it! 






So, these where my orders. I'm sure I'll order new stuff online when I'm back from holiday, and I have to make a post about the presents I got on my 14th birthday (only 9 days left as a thirteen year-old, whoo). I hope you like my orders as much as I do, hehe.

Fashion From My Perspective: The Traditional Goth

Hey everyone,

As you've probably noticed, I've had a poll going on about what my next Fashion From My Perspective post should be about. Most people voted for Traditional Goth, so here's my new post!

The Traditional Goth. Whether they were actually around in the 80s or not, the Traditonal Goth most values the traditional scene from its earliest days, when it began to evolve from Punk. 

Trad Goths venerate those original Goth bands - Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Birthday Party, The Sisters of Mercy and anything played in the infamous Batcave club. Other influential bands (e.g. The Velvet Underground) may also be revered as minor deities.

Fashion is, naturally, based on the look from the period, which itself was heavily influenced by Punk - fishnets, leather jackets, piercings - in addition to heavy make-up, HUGE hair and the occassional bit of bondage gear. And, of course, lots of black. When not listening to their extensive record collection, TradGoths may be found enjoying a snakebite & black and a clove cigarette at the local “goth” pub or club.

Sadly, Trad Goths often believe that Goth is, appropriately, dead, and the modern scene offers little consolation. New “goth” music genres such as EBM are perhaps their biggest pet peeve.

Personally, I really like the Traditional Goths. I mean, they're the ones that started the whole subculture, and they did a pretty good job. I also really like the music: Bauhaus, Siouxie And The Banshees, The Cure, Velvet Underground, The Clash... I like them. 

If you want to look like a Trad Goth, you need to look for clothes from the 80's in second hand or charity shops. Of course Trad Goths wore lots of black, but I've also seen pictures of Trad Goths wearing red, blue, green, pink, yellow or any other colour, and rocking it. Whatever colour you choose, add some accessories like fishnets, spiked wristbands, necklages with bats, ankhs or a Pentagram, belts, gloves and so on. 

Something else is the big hair. I'm pretty sure everyone has teased their hair once, but doing it like the Trad Goths takes lots of effort, and lots of hairspray. And it's not very healthy for your hair, too. If you want to try it anyway, I've found an article on www.hairboutique.com about 'Backombed Hairstyling Tips', with teasing (backombing) instructions:

1.   Begin by making sure that super curly or wavy tresses are flat ironed or blow dried straight.  Although curls and waves will create major height and volume, they will also have a tendency to be more easily damaged.  Avoid backcombing hair that has any natural texture to prevent excessive tangling. 
2.   If hair is flat ironed before it is backcombed, be sure that the strands are 100% cool before teasing.  Strands that are still warm or hot will break or rip  easier. 
3.   Begin by using a soft boar’s head brush or similar natural bristle brush to make sure that all knots and tangles are completely removed from all strands before backcombing.  Never backcomb strands that are not first detangled completely.
4.   Using a rattail or metal comb or teasing brush, part off a section of hair from the rest of the strands. Clip the remaining hair out of the way.
5.   Using your hands in conjunction with a comb or brush, gather a small section of hair approximately 1-2 inches in thickness.

Note: Use smaller strands for tighter results or larger strands for looser results.


6.   Hold the ends of the new section straight up and out from the scalp with one hand.  In essence you will be backcombing your strands in the opposite direction from its natural growth pattern.
7.   With the other hand, run the comb down the length of the hair from the end towards the base of the scalp in short, sharp and uniform strokes.  
8.  If you don't achieve enough teased hair or height in the first pass, repeat the process until the hair has the right fullness, height and texture.
9.   Spray newly teased sections with a firm hold hairspray.
10. Once the first section is completely teased, pick up the next section of hair and repeat the process until all of the desired sections of hair have been completely backcombed. 
11.   Use a firm hairspray to completely spray all of the teased hair when the backcombing is complete.  
12.   Using both hands carefully smooth the teased hair back in the opposite direction making sure there is a lot of height in the desired area of the hair.  


(read the full article here)


Lots of Trad Goths also used loads of make-up, like black lipstick and heavy eyeliner, but that's not something necessary. Something that was populair amongst the scene was to look pale. And even now most Goths like to. This isn't very hard, I mean, Manic Panic (you probably know the brand because of it's hairdye) has a range of make-up products which also includes pressed powder in very light shades, ranging from pale flesh to white. You can buy this powder in some alt shops, or on the internet. 


So, I think I've now told you everything I know about the Traditional Goth. I hope this was interesting, and I wish all of you good luck with making your own Trad Goth outfit :)
See you next time!

Fashion From My Perspective: The Negative Goth

Hello everyone,

As I promised, this Fashion From My Perspevtive post is about the Negative Goth.

The Negative Goth (or Ice Goth) is a pretty unknown but very cool goth style. Obivously, black is a colour often seen in the Goth scene. But the Negative Goth is the complete opposite: They wear all white.

The style probably origined back in the 80's, when some Goths would buy second-hand wedding dresses (or the dresses from their mothers) and wore them with their heavy boots, spikes and leather jackets. From that point on, white has also became a populair colour in the Lolita style as well. It creates an innocent -sometimes also creepy- effect.

The clothes are -obivously- mostly white, but can also be seen combined with black, or any other colour, really. It doesn't really matter what kind of white clothing it is, it can be a beatiful white dress with a corset, a parasol and cute boots for a white version of the Cemetary Goth -which I guess is a starnge comparison, but, anyway- or you can go crazy with torn white fishnets for a Deathrock look.

The make-up is often a pale skin with heavy black eye make-up. The lips can be any colour, or white. You can also use white eye make-up instead of black, but this can turn out pretty weird, since white make-up on a pale skin is pretty useless. If you have a dark skin colour however, white make-up is very cool.

The downside of white clothes is that they get dirty easily. So Negative Goth is something that you might want to limit to one outfit, and wear that outfit on days without rain, strong winds, storms, snow or anything like that, and also make sure you don't trip over your white dress please. Imagine what would happen if you fell into wet sand...

I'm not a huge fan of white myself. I think it makes me look even more fat than I already am, so I avoid white clothes as much as I can. But after getting to know the Negative Goth style, I think I should really buy some white clothes for the summer... Yeah, I should. But, enough about me. I hope I've learned you something new with this post, and, well, see you next time!

Budget Shopping

Hello everyone,

I spend lots of time on the internet, and I noticed that most people interested in subcultures such as Goth, Emo, and Punk have a hard time finding affordable, but still cool looking clothes. So that's why I decided to make a post about budget shopping.
I'm going to make 3 complete outfits (exept shoes) with each a maximum prize of 50 euros (which is about 65 dollars or 35 pounds). Hope you like 'em!

For the Goths on budget

Okay, I think this worked out really well. You see, the black top is long and stretchy so it usually gets worn as a short dress. It looks great with the black lace top, and of course lace is a true Goth must-have. The striped panty is something you often see on Goths.
Also, really, every Goth needs a few necklages with pendants like bats, skulls, ankhs, crosses or a raven. I know how cheesy this might be, but they're just awesome.

For the Emo's on budget

When I hear 'Emo' I think of black combined with bright colours. And that made me think of the Cupcake Cult, a collection of shirts from Poizen Industries, which has loads of awesome shirts. I own three shirts myself, and I love them.
The yellow hoodie comes in diffrent colours, but the yellow matched the shirt so that's why I picked yellow.
Jeans are very simple, but comfortable and Emo's can often be seen with skinny jeans.
You can easily make this look a bit cooler with bright coloured gloves, accessoires and nail polish, but if I had to add those things I would gone out of budget. And I guess everyone has bright or black nailpolish.

For the Punks on budget

Gosh, making a Punk outfit under 50 euros was pretty hard, actually. But, I managed to make one.
I saw the dress and thought 'Hey, leopard is pretty punk.' and, honestly, I am right. Punks often wear leopard. I do as well. Leopard is cool.
Also, of course this outfit needed studs and spikes -we're talking about Punk here, after all- so obivously I used a spiked and a studded bracelet.

 I hoped I helped you guys with some ideas. I also hoped you liked the looks, and good luck on your next shopping trip!

Fashion From My Perspective: The Victorian Goth

Yes everyone, this time I'll explain everything about the beautiful Victorian Goth style. With special thanks to Lola ;)

One of the biggest influences on Gothic fashion has been the imagery in Gothic literature and their movie counterparts, particular that of Victorian writers such as Edgar Allen Poe and Bram Stoker. Victorian fashions like corsets, lace, frock coats and pale skin are popular throughout the scene, but maybe none wear them with as much style as the Victorian Goth.

Like their Victorian role models, the Victorian Goths wish to convey an image of decorum and dignity. Clothes must be smart and, for many, historically accurate (corsets are to be worn beneath one’s garments, of course). Ball dress and mourning garb are particularly prominent in the scene.

Victorian Goths may also indulge in activities that were popular in Victorian high society, including theatre, masquerades, tea parties and poetry. And, naturally, any kind of Dickensian or other Victorian festival that gives them an excuse to parade around in costume (not that they need an excuse).

As for music, opera and classical are the true Victorian Gothic genres, but Victorian-inspired bands such as Rasputina are also acceptable.

Personally, I love Victorian Goths. It'd be cool to be one, but I suppose I'll have to get a bit older first -Victorian Goths always seem to be in their late 20's or early 30's- and I probably need a job that starts around 1 'o clock P.M. so I have enough time to dress up. I guess the time it takes to look like a proper Victorian Goth is also the reason you probably won't ever see one out on the streets, but you do see them a lot on festivals like WGT. The look is just not very suitable for everyday wear. 

If you want to dress like a Victorian Goth, you will have to win the lottery first, and then invest in a corset, a parasol, a beautiful long dress, a wig and loads of make-up, all from a very good quality of course. If you then have any money left, you can also buy a cool castle with lovely Victorian features. 

I guess the thing left to do for me is to show you guys some pictures of this lovely style:

Tadaaaah. Cool, right?

Now, I'm not really an expert in things related to fashion, but I think Alexander McQueen also has some great Victorian-inspired pieces in his collections. 

Is it just me or can this be labelled 'Victorian'? 

That was it for now. Thanks for reading, and see you next time!

Fashion From My Perspective: Deathrock

Hey everyone, it's time for a new episode of Fashion From My Perspective! This time, I'm going to tell you all about the Deathrock subculture, one of the coolest -and sadly, also one of the rarest- out there.

Let's start with explaining you what Deathrock actually is. Deathrockers are regarded by some as 'the missing link' between Punk and Goth, hence their extremely simliar appearance and musical tastes to the Trad Goths. However, while the Trad Goths tend to believe that Goth is dead, the Deathrockers see that Goth is still alive and twitching, in a suitably zombified form. 

Deathrockers are most easily recognised by their layers upon layers of ripped fishnets, band logos and enormous hair, Deathrockers listen not only to the 80s Goth Rock classics (Christian Death, Specimen and Alien Sex Fiend being notable examples), but also a new breed of crazed artists such as Cinema Strange and Tragic Black, as well as other genres such as Horror Punk and Psychobilly. As long as it’s mad, bad and features zombies / bats / death, it’s all good. 

Deathrockers may also be characterised by their love of old horror movies (the cheesier the better), and very often, a good (if slightly twisted) sense of humour.

One of the coolest things about Deathrockers, if you want my opinion, is the infamous Deathhawk. It's pretty much a mohawk, but a bit wider and with some hair on the sides of the head as well.

See?

It is interesting that deathrock nowadays fits under the Goth umbrella, as it emerged independently, beginning in America in the late 1970s, around the same time as those big four post-punk acts started to emerge in the UK. It was originally an offshoot of the punk scene combined with the Los Angeles hardcore music scene, and was first thought of as simply a darker take on punk, rather than a new genre of its own.

When the famous and influential Batcave club opened in London in 1983, internationally renowned as the world's first Goth club and 'home' of the Goth scene, the two main bands that debuted and performed there - namely Specimen and Alien Sex Fiend - were set apart from the rest of the post-punk scene in England by their strongly horror-influenced sound, the first recogniseable instance of deathrock beginning to emerge in the UK. Wikipedia says that, with the opening of the Batcave, and with UK bands such as Christian Death and The Gun Club starting to tour America, "the European Gothic rock scene and the American deathrock scene were now able to directly influence one another."

By 1984, when the UK scene (the Batcave bands, and fresh blood such as The Sisters of Mercy and The March Violets) had banded together under the label 'Gothic rock', the merger began when American deathrock band Kommunity FK toured with English Goth band Sex Gang Children, and for a while the terms 'Goth' and 'deathrock' were used interchangeably.

Nowadays, again like cyber, deathrock is both a subgenre of Goth and a genre in its own right, able to thrive within the Goth scene and still hold its own, subgenre-specific clubs and events (such as the Drop Dead Festival in New York).

Visually, deathrock incorporates some key elements from punk and trad Goth, such as ripped and patched clothing, badges and safety-pins galore, shredded tights, and big, big hair. Accessories are generally piled on by the dozen - layers of belts, chokers and chains, fishnet gloves and spiked wristbands. Clothing is generally as distressed as possible, sometimes even dusty or dirty - aiming for a 'just crawled out of the grave, and still ready to rock, ya bastards!' appearance.

Make-up is usually dramatic, often with strong horror influences - cheeks can be given a 'hollow' appearance with black or purple eyeshadow, and outfits may even be splattered with fake blood (although it takes a certain je ne sais quoi to pull this off). Deathrock can often be one of the more colourful Goth looks - bright colours, sometimes clashing combinations such as green and pink or green and purple, are used to accent all the black - and the same can hold true for make-up.

So, combine this huge amount of information and you'll get something like this:

If I've made you going 'OMG I WANT TO BE A DEATHROCKER!' by now, you might also wonder 'OMG WHERE CAN I BUY THOSE COOL CLOTHES?' Well, it's mostly just D.I.Y. Buy yourself a black blazer or jacket, and make it look cool with band patches, buttons and safety pins. Also buy loads of black pantyhoses, and some coloured ones as well. And then, well, yeah, just rip them. And wear then on top of each other. If your parents allow you, you might want to consider also buying one or two corsets, since they're worn by most Deathrockers. 

In the end, it's all about creating your own look of course. You don't have to look like a stereotypical Deathrocker to be one. 

I hope you've enjoyed this post, and see you next time!

I Need These In My Life

Sinds een tijdje verkoopt My Chemical Romance exacte replica's van de Killljoy jackets. Je ziet ze in actie in o.a. de videoclip van Na Na Na:

Ik heb zo'n ding nodig in mijn leven -of in mijn kledingkast, maar net hoe je 't bekijkt- anders is mijn leven niet compleet. Ik heb er momenteel het geld niet voor, of beter gezegd: Ik heb een aantal dingen nodig die vóór zo'n jacket gaan, maar ooit zal ik er een bezitten.
De prijzen van de jassen variëren tussen de 90 en 100 dollar, maar voor dat geld heb je dus wel een exacte replica.
Ik zou graag die van Gerard (Party Poison) of die van Ray (Jet Star) willen hebben. Of allebei, lol.
Check 'em all out op www.mychemicalromance.com/shop/apparel
Zijn er nog meer mensen die zo'n jack willen hebben? En zo ja, welke dan?

Tot de volgende post!

Shop Till You Drop @ Nieuwe Binnenweg, Rotterdam

Jawol, deze persoon hier houdt van rondstruinen in de stad en in leuke winkeltjes kijken x] Had je niet gedenkt he. Anyways, ik ga jullie in deze post alles vertellen over de leuke winkeltjes op de Nieuwe Binnenweg in Rotterdam.

Stap 1. Wat de faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack is de Nieuwe Binnenweg en hoe kom je daar?

Nou, de Nieuwe Binnenweg is een winkelstraat in Rotterdam. Je hebt de Oude Binnenweg, en voorbij het Eendrachtsplein verandert die naam in Nieuwe Binnenweg. Misschien omdat ie nieuwer is ofzo...

Je komt er vrij gemakkelijk. Als je in Rotterdam woont weet je vast hoe je er moet komen - het is een vrij bekende winkelstraat - en als dat niet het geval is:

Vanaf Rotterdam Centraal ga je met tram 20 naar het Eendrachtsplein. En dan ben je er. Hoe simpel is dat.
Je kunt ook met de metro komen - ik meen met metrolijn D (de lichtblauwe) maar niet slaan als dat fout is- en je kunt er vast ook met de auto komen maar ik kan me niet voorstellen dat iemand zin heeft om met de auto door Rotjeknor te rijden - file, file, file.

Je kunt ook met zo'n beetje alle trams en metro's  naar Beurs en vervolgens het straatje aan de achterzijde van het City Bril gebouw en naast de McDonalds inlopen, dan moet je van een trapje af en een stukje rechtdoor lopen en dan kom je er vanzelf.
Lol: Als je vanaf daar komt kom je langs de Crocks-winkel. Lachen x]

Stap 2: SHOPPEEEEEEEN! JEEJ ROZE JURKJES EN HAKKEN PASSEN!

Yeah right. We zijn nu op Eendrachtsplein. Aan de ene kant - Oude Binnenweg - zit een Emporio Armani (sorry als ik het fout spel) winkel, wat de meesten van jullie vast leuk vinden.
De andere kant op - Nieuwe Binnenweg, waar we het de rest van de post over gaan hebben - zitten winkeltjes die cooler, leuker en goedkoper zijn.

We beginnen onze shopping tocht bij 'The Punch', een winkel waar ze Dr.Martens en Underground schoenen verkopen die echt überstoer zijn.

Daarna lopen we door naar mijn lievelingswinkel: Black Widow. Hier hebben ze ALLES wat het hart van een alternatieveling streelt. Van broeken tot shirts, corsetten, schoenen, haarverf, sieraden, hoodies, jurken... ALLES. Hier dwing ik iedereen naar binnen te lopen, en gewoon effe te kijken, het is er echt superleuk.

Je komt hierna in het gebied dat volgepropt zit met schattige winkeltjes waar je echt naartoe moet, maar waar ik de naam niet van weet. Fail.

Ook zit er een eerste- en tweedehands muziekwinkel waar de muziekliefhebber zijn of haar hart echt kan ophalen. Ze hebben niet alleen CD's, maar ook ontzettend veel LP's. Ik heb er vandaag een supervroeg live-album van Muse gescoord waarvan zelfs ik nog nooit gehoord had. Just sayin'...

Helemaal aan het einde van de Nieuwe Binnenweg - nou ja, aan het einde van het leuke gedeelte-  zit een Kinky kapper. Voor als je denkt 'Ik ben nu toch in Rotterdam, laat ik eens een cool kapsel nemen.'
Niet dat iemand dat denkt maar oke. 

Tip: Doe eerst de kant van Black Widow en The Punch, loop dan tot aan het einde en doe dan de andere kant. Er rijden namelijk auto's door de straat en als je constant hyper heen en weer gaat rennen ben je plat.

En dan ben je zo'n beetje uitgewinkeld in de Nieuwe Binnenweg. Je kunt nu nog de stad in, of naar huis, of op een van vele terrasjes gaan zitten, of blijven staan. Kan ook.



Zijn dit soort posts leuk, moet ik er meer maken? Comments please ;)

Mijn nieuwe aankopen ;)

Vandaag heb ik op attitudeholland.com twee nieuwe vesten besteld, aangezien de meeste vesten die ik heb inmiddels te klein zijn. Dit zijn mijn nieuwe aanwinsten:

Beide vesten zijn van Hell Bunny, en ik vind ze gewoon te leuk :D
Ik denk dat ik deze vesten binnen twee weken zou moeten hebben, maar jullie horen dat t.z.t. wel. What do you think?

Fashion From My Perspective: Winterkleding :D

Oke, ik weet dat het al zowat lente is, maar aangezien het de laatste tijd toch weer frisjes is buiten en het vanacht weer -7 wordt in het noordoosten van ons landje, heb ik besloten om toch nog een post te maken over winterkleding!
Ik ga jullie de coolste winterjassen, sjaals, handschoenen, mutsen en oorwarmers laten zien die je MOET hebben om de winter door te komen.

Winterjassen
Winterjassen zijn er in echt alle soorten en maten. Laat ik beginnen met de schattige jassen van Poizen Industries

Hallo, iedereen vind deze jassen toch cute. Kijk, ze hebben zelfs een jas met oortjes <3
Ik zou zelf nooit een jas aandoen met strikjes en lintjes en ROZE, maar toch. Ik vind ze cuuuute!








Next: De Steampunk-achtige jassen van Hell Bunny

 Deze winterjassen zijn duidelijk iets volwassener, en zouden goed staan bij een Steampunk- of Romantigoth-achtige kledingstijl.
Ik kon het niet laten om nog een jas met oortjes te posten. Ik heb deze een keer in actie gezien: In het echt ziet het er zó awesome uit. Ik wil ook een jas met oortjes!





Last: De lange jassen van Lauging Vampire

 Op de een of andere manier wilden de plaatjes niet naar me luisteren, dus ze staan nu onder elkaar.
Goed, dit zijn zo'n beetje de jassen waar ik mee zou lopen. Ze zijn lang, zwart en ik vind ze mooi.
Geen jas met oortjes dit keer, maar wel een met extreem lange punt capuchon en dat is ook trés cool.






Accessoires 

Laten we beginnen met de sjaals. Bij een sjaal is het belangrijk dat 'ie warm is, maar ook dat 'ie er cool uitziet.

De bovenste twee sjaals zijn ook van Poizen Industies, de derde (met Jack Skellington :D) is van Rock Daddy, en de vierde - voor de hippies onder ons - is van Baeres.
Ik vind dat een sjaal niet alleen een sjaal moet zijn, maar ook moet opvallen. Volgens mij moet dat met deze vier aardig lukken.

Goed, op naar de handschoenen!

 Alle handschoenen zijn van Poizen Industries.
v.l.n.r. en van boven naar onder:
Uno: Een supercute konijn met een OOGLAPJE! Duh, natuurlijk moet ik die hebben!
Dos: Dit zijn armwarmers. Maar ik vind dat ze ook tellen als handschoenen omdat ze zo schattig zijn.
Trés en quattro: Handschoenen met botten? Do I need to say more?!
Sorry voor het verschrikkelijke Spaans
Ik denk dat je met deze handschoenen aardig opvalt, en het lekker warm hebt. En dat wil iedereen, toch?

Oke, en nu de mutsen!

 v.l.n.r. en van boven naar beneden:
1. Een muts van een Boo Boo? Aaaawh! (Merk: Nintendo)
2. Ik vind Nirvana cool. Geel is mijn lievelingskleur. Ik heb last van overmatig-smiley-gebruik. Is het duidelijk waarom deze beanie cool is? (Merk: Nirvana)
3. Een warme muts, sjaal en handschoenen in een. Volgens mij is dat super handig. Maar hoe neem je met die handschoenen je telefoon op...? (Merk: Poizen Industries)
4. KONIJNEN ZIJN COOL. PUNT. (Merk: Poizen Industries)

En als laatste: Oorwarmers!

v.l.n.r. en van boven naar beneden:

1. Engeland is echt mijn lievelingsland. Deze oorwarmers overweeg ik serieus te kopen. (Merk: Rock Daddy)
2. Deze teddybeer doet me op de een of andere manier denken aan de beren uit Uprising, maar verder zijn deze oorwarmers natuurlijk gewoon heel schattig. (Merk: Rock Daddy)
3. Ik denk dat dit zeer geschikte oorwarmers zijn voor de Emo's onder ons, en ze zijn gewoon leuk <3 (Merk: Rock Daddy)
 4. Omdat harige oorwarmers gewoon stoer zijn. (Merk: Poizen Industries)
