Daily Style Post #4- Halloween Edition

Happy Halloween Killjoys!

Though I'm bummed I didn't post more photos of my October OOTD, I know I'll be wearing most of my Halloween type apparel over the next few months regardless because to me it's ALWAYS Halloween.

I did manage to take a photo of my pre-costume outfit from today. Enjoy!

OASAP Product Review: Fall and Halloween Haul

Hey there Killjoys!

Today I'm showing you the items I received from my latest OASAP haul. I wanted to keep with the Halloween/fall theme, which you'll see in the items I selected. Everything you see was under $65 after shipping. Totally a steal in my opinion.

First up is this Skeleton Sweater. It's super soft. It's a bit thin, but still warm. It's also a little baggy, which is fine for me since I love baggy clothes! Probably one of my favorite items of this haul, and the item I get the most compliments on.

Next is this Rad Crop Top Sweater. I do like it, though it fits me a bit weird. It's too long on me to be a crop top and the material and cut of it reminds me of a hockey jersey. I feel like I'd have to tie it up in the back to wear it out, but I do like it. I think it's comfortable and cute. It also comes in white!

I also ordered this Red Skirt, which is high-waisted and comes in a variety of colors. It's really comfortable and flowy. It's also not see-through and seems to be really well made. I'm petite, so I'm glad to see that this wasn't too long or too short on me.

I figured I couldn't go wrong with a new pair of Black Over the Knee Socks. They are also available in grey. They are really comfortable, however they aren't very stretchy and although they fit my legs fine with some room, they might not fit everyone. They do come right above my knee, so if you're a taller girl, they might be under the knee.

Finally, I ordered these Brown/Red Ombre Hair Extensions. I LOVE THEM. This is all from one track. Its a one-track 6-clip extension that came in about 10 or so colors. I ordered the wine red ones. Although they are a bit more pink than red, I love them and they blend perfectly with my natural hair color. They are heat resistant and look and feel real.

 Overall, I have no real complaints. As always, OASAP has provided good clothing at a reasonable cost. They also sent out a tracking number once everything was shipped. I definitely recommend them, especially if you shop on a budget.

Creature Cult: Product Review

Hey Killjoys! It's time for another bad-ass fashion blog review!

Today I'm reviewing a US-based store called Creature Cult who sells bad-ass, but sexy accessories like garters, necklaces, and even some tops and dresses!

First off, I love the shipping packaging. It's pink and has the Creature Cult logo sticker on the bag. Shipping was relatively fast. She shipped from across the country, so I was very happy with the items arriving in a few days.

When I opened the bag, I was really happy with everything inside. All 3 of my items were in their own separate bags and not damaged whatsoever. She also included a hand-written note (with the store's logo), as well as a stack of Creature Cult business cards and stickers (which I plan on giving to my friends). I have a few friends that are into Japanese fashion and burlesque, who I know will LOVE these items!

First up! Is my personal favorite. It's called the Sacrificial Lamb Garter. I couldn't be any happier with how this looks. It's elastic and has spikes attached to it. There's also a pentagram hanging on it, which I LOVE. It does have some give and fits on my upper legs. I'm small, but muscular, so I think my thighs are pretty average. I would recommend that if you are a thicker individual, to let the store know before purchasing just to make sure she can make them bigger. It has hooks attached so I can attach it to a thigh high if I want, or just let it hang. I like both options! I'm a HUGE fan of wearing the single fashion garter, so I can't wait to incorporate these with future looks!

I know in some of the photos, the garter makes my leg look a bit chunky and squished, but for me, it's not uncomfortable or cutting off circulation. I had no problem with the tightness, and the garter didn't fall while I walked around, which is a major plus.

The next item is another garter. This one is called the Chi Garter. Same for the last garter, it's elastic and fits me well, but might not fit if you're thicker, so definitely make sure you send that as a note when you order it. This one also has spikes and a little heart in the middle.

Once again, the tightness was fine. This one, I found, fit me most comfortably right above the knee and didn't set as high as the Sacrificial Lamb garter. I think this one would be really cute to wear with knee high/right above the knee socks.

Last, but certainly not least is the Choke Me Till We're Back in the 90's Tattoo Choker. First off, let me say I'm a sucker for 90's apparel and I wore these necklaces ALL THE TIME growing up, so I had to get one! I originally thought I would receive this with a pentagram on it to match the garter, and then I realized there were several options available for the charm, so it was my bad for not realizing that. If you plan on getting this particular necklace, make sure you pick the charm you want in the "options" section. I believe the charms available are the pentagram, this tooth, and a UFO. Regardless of my own ordering mistake, I can't wait to rock this choker like it's 1997 all over again! It's extremely stretchy and should have no problem fitting on anyone who orders one.

All in all, Creature Cult is the perfect combination of goth, sexy, and 90's girl all in one. Even better is that every item shown here is $10 or less.

Make sure to check out their store! You can catch another review on Creature Cult on my YouTube channel! Don't forget to subscribe!

Back to School: OASAP Product Review

September is already here and October will be here before we know it! I definitely can't wait to start doing all of my fall and Halloween posts, but in the mean time, I wanted to do a quick back to school fashion post with the items I recently received from OASAP.

OASAP is a fashion site based in both Asia and the US. Their clothing ranges from standard prices but has items both higher and lower than what you might find in stores. The two items I'm focusing my back to school looks on are these items: Suspender skirt and Lace Cropped Top.

I thought these would both be a good fit for back to school since the burgundy color of the crop top always reminds me of fall, and the black skirt can be used in a million different ways! I'm just going to show you a few of the ways I wore both of these items with other pieces in my closet, and if you'd like to see a full review of the products, please check out my OASAP product review on my YouTube.

Bracelets are also by OASAP

Jeans are LoveSick from Hot Topic
Choker is by Creature Cult

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Daily Style Post #2

Time for another Daily Style Post!

This H.Naoto top has adjustable sides to make it go from tunic to fashion top. 

Usually in the colder weather I’ll loosen the draw stings and pair it with leggings, but because it was so nice out today, I pulled the strings all the way up and paired it with these Tripp shorts.

This is an older top, but I'm sure you can find something similar on their online store or stores like CDJapan or Tokyo Rebel.

The black platform shoes are by Y.R.U. that I got from Hot Topic.

 The beanie and wig are from various eBay purchases

The garter pieces are by Dark Sea Designs

 The necklace is from Tasty Peach Studios. I turned my cell phone charm into a necklace.

(Don't forget to use Killjoy01 to get 15% off your Tasty Peach Studios purchases until July 31st!)

The circle lenses are from Uniqso. They are I.Fairy Tofi Grey (and you can find my review on  these lenses on my blog HERE)

Daily Style Post #1

I'm pretty excited! This is my first Daily Style Post on the blog! I hope this blog motivates me to dress up more often. Because of training/wrestling/etc, I spend A LOT more time in workout clothes than clothes to go out and about in.

At one point in time (especially when I worked in retail), I dressed up more often and got to show off my personal style, which tends to be a mix of punk, visual kei, and nerdy pieces.

I figured the best first style post would be with my most recent online shopping haul. First off, as much as I love buying name-brand Japanese clothing, it IS expensive, so I tend to fill my closet with lots of cute and inexpensive pieces for my closet. I am a HUGE advocate for buying cute, no-name, inexpensive clothing off of eBay and small online shops.

Though at times, I can be a bit of a name-brand snob, I also will buy knock-offs because well, to be honest, I find them cute and if I can get basically the same exact item for 1/4 of the name-brand cost, I will.

I wanted my first Daily Style post to be simple until I'm fully in the swing of this whole blog thing. I normally do links, but with eBay, I won't because they change so quickly, but I'll let you know how to search for it!

Looking at this outfit, you might be thinking "my poor wallet can't afford this!"

This game-boy style dress that most of you might recognize from Black Milk Clothing usually runs about $100. However, I found this dress in multiple colors on eBay for $12. For that price, I couldn't pass it up and ended up buying it in pink and teal. The downfall? The dresses are One Size Fits All...and let me tell you, one size does NOT fit all.

I'm pretty petite. About 5'1, 100lbs. This dress was really baggy and not a body-con dress like I hoped. However, about 30 minutes with a pair of scissors and a sewing machine made it fit PERFECTLY, so if you're tiny and don't mind a little DIY, I highly recommend searching for one of these bad boys on eBay. Search for "gameboy dress"

The spikey headband was also from eBay for about $5 after shipping. It's really comfortable and was on an elastic band as opposed to a hard headband. For this, I just searched for "spiked headband"

The necklace surprisingly cost more than the dress and headband combined. It's a Sexpot Revenge chain in hot pink based off of the anime Nana. I managed to find this one on CDjapan, but I believe Tokyo Rebel has them as well.

Last, but certainly not least are these Y.R.U. platform sneakers in black. While there are knock-offs for these, I happened to find these on Hot Topic's website while they were having a 20% off sale plus my 10% off coupon I had from them, which made these usually priced $100+ shoes around $60 after shipping. I noticed that while most stores have these shoes for $100-150, Hot Topic had them for about $80. I did find these slightly used on ebay for around $40-60, but didn't mind spending a few extra dollars for them brand new.

I love love LOVE platform shoes. This probably stems from my height only being 5'1, but they also remind me of the Spice Girls...paired with this dress, maybe I could be Nerdy Spice? Eh? Eh? No? Okay...

Feel free to ask any questions if you have them! Don't forget, you can always find me on FB and YouTube!

Dark Sea Designs: Product Review

The first review on my blog! I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty excited =D

I figured the best way to start off a new blog would be with a brand new designer. Ready for this? Drumroll, please! Let me introduce to you, Dark Sea Designs!

Dark Sea Designs started designing his own clothes this year. I’m really impressed with how well his work is for only designing and sewing for a few months now.

The style of Dark Sea Designs reminds me much of my own closet by combining various Japanese street fashion genres including visual kei, fairy kei, and variations of Lolita.

The first pieces I'm reviewing are a grey and black asymmetrical tunic and armband (they come together as a set). I’m only 5’2, so the tunic covers me like a dress. However, on someone taller, it would probably fit like an actual top/tunic. The top underneath is just a random tank top from my closet. 

I absolutely love the armband; it's adjustable, which is a plus! The arm piece has several layers to it, which gives it a bit of a creepy mummy look to it (that's a good thing to me, by the way). Both the tunic and the armband are made of a gauze/mesh material and are hand burned, so no two Dark Sea Designs item are exactly the same. 

The second piece of Dark Sea Designs I’ll be reviewing are these detailed pastel shorts. The first day I wore them, I paired them with a fashion top from Too Fast Apparel, knee high socks, and my creepers.

Once again, I love that no two of this item will be the same. Each pair is hand dyed and painted, also there are spikes along the side of the one leg. I actually really love that these shorts aren’t low rise. The only downfall to the higher waste band is that I have a tiny waist, so I’ll have to find a cute belt to wear with these lovely shorts ^-^

The third and final item that I’ll be reviewing will be their white and neon colored cut-sew tank top. I love anything cut-sew, it always catches my eye. I think the cat face and sea horse are really cute, and I feel like I don’t see many sea horses on clothing. The straps dangling around the top are made of the same cloth that the shirt is. There’s also a chain/safety pin brooch-looking detail on the chest. I’m a fan of chains and safety pins. I blame my punk years =P

I could (and most likely will) pair the cut-sew tank top with the pastel shorts in the future. They seem like such a cute combo!

As of right now, Dark Sea Designs only has a Facebook, however, once their store is up, I’ll edit this review and post the link. I definitely foresee Dark Sea Designs being an up and coming designer with big things in their future. 

I wish them the best of luck with their upcoming work and hope to model and review more of their designs in the future ^-^
