Tie Me Up ~ bondage trend.

It's been looming for a couple of seasons now but I think the fetish trend is now in full swing, much to my delight. I'm talking BDSM inspired clothing, with straps and mesh and spikes with an excess of leather, PVC, metal and a hint of latex. It's restraint made sexy, with things intended for the bedroom now intended for the high street. Beforehand the lingerie as outwear was all soft and floaty, but this gives it a harder twist. People like Creepyyeha have been doing it for years but now the high street is catching up, with places like Missguided dipping into the trend as well. I really bloody love this trend so I thought I'd share with you some finds from mainstream and indie stores a like!

Creepyyeha matching colour flower and spike choker ~ £30.79 (I love the teal one or there's a listing with silver spikes)

Lockhart transparent O-ring choker ~ £17.77

Von Bondage padlock choker ~ £14.75

Hopeless Suzy bamboo babydoll dress ~ £96.39

Missguided Karela harness detail top ~ £14.99

(or alternatively this pentagram dress by Missguided)

Miss Malwia Locust harness ~ £42.99 (or a cheaper variation, and a Missguided dress with the same style harness)

Agashi cage skirt garter ~ £110.98

ASOS bralet with cupped corset details ~ £25 (or a less clunky version)

Creepyyeha double strap heart garter ~ £26.71 (or a cheaper alternative)

Hopeless Carrie black mesh cross over knickers ~ £33.73 (or a variation on a theme)

As always I spent far too much time and had far too much time on this list. I tried to stick to things you could justifiably wear casually (or underneath your casuals). Without that criteria there would have been a few more pages, including a lot more latex, because let me tell, some of the pieces on Etsy are legitimately stunning. So with that done, is there any aspect of this trend you like? Or maybe something you don't like? I know I have a friend who doesn't like the fact BDSM is finding a mainstream audience, what do you think?

First things first; I am so sorry that I haven't posted in the past two months, I even missed my two year blog anniversary which was on the 4th of October. I have been at a level of busy that I have never had to deal with before, including a 20 hour a week (minimum) job, lectures and my research project. All I do at the moment is drive and work. I have been wanting to blog for ages, I have about a million outfits I want to photograph but not only do I not have the time, I have less hours of light in which to take photos. Genuinely I have missed it so I am going to try real hard to keep some kind of level active now...it may not be weekly but hopefully there'll be some stuff up here fairly regularly (famous last words!).

This post is kind of a cop out in that these photos were taken during my Halloween party, which I held last weekend, but I liked my costume, and actually everyone else looked amazing as well. I was genuinely pleased with the level of commitment from all, we had a ghost/dead lady/Miss Havisham (me), a tonne of zombies including a zombie ring leader, a Dracula and another vampire, a crazy scientist, a skeleton and a steampunk gent. Plus one of my babe friends decorated my house whilst I was at work so I came home to the most gloriously Halloweeny house!

Other than being stupidly busy and Halloween I did MCM again, which was awesome fun - even if my cosplay wasn't finished and some of the stuff didn't arrive on time...I went as a fem Kyubey from Madoka Magica and my darling cosplay buddy went as the male version. I need to find photos of that...

What did you dress up as Halloween? I swear this year everyone put a legit effort it, it was so awesome seeing all the different costumes.

Style Inspiration ~ Bloggers, part 3.

Okay, last part of my series focusing on fashion bloggers that inspire me with their unique style! I'll be doing one more bonus post focusing on a few beauty bloggers who wield make up brushes like no other as well. You can find Part One here, and Part Two here of the Blogger Style Inspiration series. I also wanted to feature Karin from Wunderlust (of the Rouge Pony accessories fame) but her blog seems to have disappeared? Anyhow, let me know which bloggers inspire you! I'd love to find more and you can never follow enough blogs.

London Rose

Let's start with the fact that Hannah looks like a complete model. But let's continue with the fact that she rocks simple, almost minimalistic grunge so well. And I wish I could pull off a bindi as well as she can.

The Pineneedle Collective

Ah jeez, Annika is so freaking adorable! Plus she's also studying neuroscience and blogs about science in a really accessible way which makes me feel so bad for under-representing my field of study. And she's a wearer of wigs! I love her quirky style, especially her lolita, vintage and pastel looks, including that super cute boater hat! Also check out her 30 day outfit challenge where she generates 30 outfits from 12 items, all of them are golden!

Velvet Daisy

Jessie's got acid grunge dooowwnn. I love how colorful and bright her style is whilst still being edgy and interesting. Always jealous of her shoes and how well she can accessories!
