☜☆☞ ◕ ‿ ◕ \m/ Fashion Fridays: Chains and Straps \m/ ◕ ‿ ◕ ☜☆☞

It's been a really tough week for me, and it'll continue to be tough for a while...but I wanna continue with my blog posts and sharing the things that can help me cheer up. Today's J-rock tidbit is....*drumroll*

Versailles - Kamijo ✖‿✖

This week's theme is chains and straps.  I wanna share some awesome chain themed items and strappy items I found that I really like.

I spent most of the morning browsing Attitude Clothing. They didn't have much chain clothes, but I did find some that I liked, and they had a number of strappy items as well.
This is the best dress I found there.

Dead Threads - Graffiti Dress

Poizen Industries - Maze Vest

I also found this maze vest. I like the buckle straps that go up the sides, although it may seem like there's a bit too much going on in it, what with the staps, lace and criss-cross ribbon. I like the theme, but overall i think I don't like the relationship between the  side straps and the corset ribbon.


In the picture below I love the top, but as far as straps go, what I like are her arm sleeves.
If this was in last week's post on ribbons I would emphasize the top design more. As it is l love this overall combination, pants included. This corset, lace and straps combination fits together better than the Maze Vest.

Poizen Industries - Frill Top

These pants (Living Dead Souls - Blitz Pants) I love because from the moment I saw them I thought 'Reita'. I've dubbed them Reita Pants ٩(×̯×)۶ . I also really like the second pair on the right (Poizen Industries - Korse Pants).

And here are shoes that would go great with all of these clothes; Iron Fist - Sweet Skull O Mine Booties and Demonia - Crypto 315 Boots.

As far as chains go, I stumbled onto a site that had an interesting concept. Instead of tops with chains integrated in there make up, these are body harnesses that can be put on with any top that you want to spruce up or punk out. These are from Decarabia.

Industrial Angel

Gladiator

And from the creator of these, here are two more awesome bracelets. Personally I prefer the Charnel cuffs because for accessories I prefer a mixture of chains over anything else.

Gothic Lolita Cuff

Charnel House Cuff

And these accessories are from attitude clothing, Alchemy Gothic - Mortal Remains Earring, Zacharia - Handcuff & Gun Necklace and Poizen Industries - Buckle Sleeves.

Finally, these are some cool slave rings that I found some months ago. When I remember where I found them I'll put the link in the 'Procrastinate' section (right sidebar).

That's all for nao. I'll end with a token picture of Aki-sama. Til next time ~

乂⍲‿⍲乂 Fashion Fridays: Ribbons and Bows 乂⍲‿⍲乂

I spent my free time today eye-shopping for clothes that, as usual, I can't afford. This might seem a little weird, but for me it's awesome fun. I love looking at cool styles, designs and fashion as much as I love wearing them (≧◡≦). While I do wear alot of different stlye of clothings, my number 1 loves are goth, punk and visual kei. I typically spend a huge amount of time hording pictures of J-rockers in their awesomely creative outfits. ✯◡✯.

PaRADEiS - Mashiro (Vo)

 Today the focuses of my random web searching were styles with bows and ribbons, I did make some awesome unrelated finds, but those will be reserved for my next fashion friday post. I started out looking for cute casual tops and dresses and stumbled upon these

Tokyo Fashion Bowknot Woolens Top

Japanese Style Bowknot Belt Uniform

on Cutie Code. They have a ton of really cute casual outfits...but they're pretty darn expensive >3>. A better site I found for more affordable casual clothes, is Wholesale Dress.net and they have a number of cute items too and a wider variety of categories. So like I said...I started out looking at casual clothes, but somewhere along the line I slipped over into dresses....

Ribbons Embellished Strap Layered Dress White

and from dresses, into lolita fashion, and I came accross this adorable item ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿

I really love this dress because it's one of the simple3r lolita dresses I've found, and I can easily get away with wearing it outside of a cosplay setting. Of course, after finding such an adorable dress I traipsed off in search of items that can go with it. I found a number of awesome accessories including this leg warmer and glove pair from Fantazia

 And these cute Heel Pink Lace Tie Scalloped Bow PU Lolita Boots, from Lolita Dress Shop.

This squeal worthy Death of Dahlia choker and equally gasm worthy wrist cuffs. And yes, I will reveal the site where I found them...eventually (◕‿-).

And finally, after hopping all over the net I came back to actual clothes and fell right into a veritable gold mine of clothes! They are really pricey, but I SWEAR I will save up and buy some of them. My favourite so far is this v-kei skirt. I love it love it love it love it soooooo freaking much >///<.
This skirt, from Attitude Clothing is right up there on my very long, very elaborate wishlist :3. And my new favorite brand is Dead Threads XD.

That's about it for today's fashion surfing, but there'll be more again next week!...Probably....unless I'm swamped with school work.
