Store Spotlight - Dellamorte & Co.

Well, if there's a shop I've been pining over for literally years, it's this one. Dellamorte & Co. makes some of the most awesome shit for the home I've ever seen. A number of their items have been on my wish-list for a long time, the only thing that holds me back is the cost of shipping weighty items internationally, but I reckon they're worth saving for.

Amor Aeternus Wall Plaque

Dellamorte & Co. makes statues, vases, magnets, barware, wall plaques, lights, and more; everything the macabre household could do with to improve upon its macabreness. Each piece of quality dark art for the home is handmade to order. Much of the inspiration comes from the wish to create functional art, and it is precisely that; many of the things you can find there are not just for display, but to use.

You can find anatomically correct heart-shaped vases, realistic skull planters, tombstone magnets, tentacle winestoppers, and much more. Also can be found exquisitely morbid items purely for decoration, such as wall plaques that look like they've been taken from centuries old sepulchres. At Christmas time, you can decorate with cheerful Krampus decor, or hang the Headless Horseman from your tree.

Anatomical Heart Vase in black

The only piece I own is a conjoined twin fetal skull, which was gifted to me a few years ago. It takes pride of place in the centre of my living room's display cabinet. It's always been one of my favourite decorations, and I have, like I said, pined to own more ever since. Dellamorte & Co. has managed to find the balance between spooky and classy. A lot of home decorations can look cheap and Halloweeny, whereas these pieces are pleasingly morbid as well as elegant and smart.

Fruit Bat Wine Accessory Set

If you are someone who decorates for Halloween all year round, and likes to do it with style, then you should definitely visit Dellamorte & Co's online store. Their pieces also make excellent gifts for fans of the dark and macabre, as I said, my piece was a gift, and one of the coolest I ever remember receiving. Thank you for visiting, hope I've given you something new to admire!
Until next week x

Where to Shop - DevilNight

It's always satisfying and exciting to discover a new place to find the things you love and covet most, and I'm constantly being asked where I get clothes, shoes, jewellery, etc. from. So how about a little series of blogposts that put the spotlight on the best webstores? Does that sound like a good idea to you? Anyway, let us begin...

Dress by Punk Rave

If you watch my videos regularly (and you should because: cool) then you've probably heard me mention DevilNight.co.uk a few times. I choked a bit when I first stumbled upon their website, because they stock several of my top favourite fashion brands; Punk Rave, RQ-BL, Pentagramme, Devil Fashion, and Dark in Love.

They also stock an impressive and promising range of Medieval and Victorian gowns. It's one of those places I could go mental at if I had the funds to do so. Since first discovering DevilNight, I've been lucky enough to receive three garments from them.

High-Waisted Skirt by Punk Rave

In my experience, some lesser-known webstores recreate and sell knockoffs of some of my most beloved brands, and I had feared that this might be one of them, but to my delight, the garments I received were 100% genuine and beautiful.

My first acquisition was a high-waisted, terribly elegant skirt by Punk Rave. I wore it in an OOTD video entitled Aquatic Shimmer. My second was a really cool dress with a high neck, also by Punk Rave, made of soft, suede-like fabric as well as raggedly fishnet. Perfect for me really, and perfect for the current chilly season. Thirdly, I got a hooded dress by Dark in Love that is pleasingly swooshy as has a distinctly witchy vibe. I showed it off in a video wherein I showcased the newest releases from Dark in Love.

DevilNight provides a variety of different 'theatrical' styles of dress, including 50s pin-up, Steampunk, and Lolita, and fortunately supply plenty of mens' things as well as womens'.



DevilNight is active on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. On their Instagram it's really nice to see people showing off their wedding outfits that they've bought there. A lot of people seem to find their perfect alternative wedding outfit at DevilNight. Let me know if you like the idea of highlighting and/or reviewing alternative webstores, I think there are so many out there, especially small businesses, that could really do with a bit more love and attention!

Until next time, stay spoOky ^^;  ;^^

9 Struggles of Wearing All Black - Buzzfeed

If anyone is allowed an informed opinion on Buzzfeed's latest video, 9 Struggles of Wearing All Black, it's me. By popular demand here is my reaction! Beneath the video you can find everything I'm wearing in this video, enjoy!

I have on a velvet keyhole dress from Jawbreaker, Ankh of The Dead necklace by Alchemy Gothic, and a chunky collar I found on eBay.  Nose chain is self-made. x

Spiked Collar & Cuff Collection

Hi! Watch me first:



Spiked collars and cuffs are, I feel, a timeless and effective accessory. They're so much easier to get these days than in the past. In the days of yore, the only place I could get them was a local leather shop when and if they had them.

The ones I got the most recently, were all bought from the same seller on eBay, a store called Noxandra. There are other styles of stuff there too, but if you trawl through the necklace and bracelet section, they have heaps of fairly cheap pointy shinies that are of decent quality.

Everything else I showed in the video is old, or was bought from a store rather than online.

I have coveted many items from Dysfunctional Doll. They also have an eBay store. As a creature of habit, I always go back to the same places to shop if I've had a good experience, and Dysfunctional Doll is a favourite seller I've bought from several times.

I've never bought anything from RivitHead.com, but they do have a pretty decent selection. Another website I had bookmarked is Another Way of Life, they have a few awesome looking chokers that are a bit different.

If you've got any links to good places that sell studded cuffs or chokers, please leave a comment below, always good to find new places to shop/things to covet. Also, feel free to buy some for me, I'm always wanting needing more ;)

Where I Buy my Clothes, Jewellery, & Boots

I'm so often asked where I get my stuff from, which is definitely flattering, so I made two separate videos and tried to list, as best I could, where I buy most of my cool and pretty things from. Hopefully you'll find them helpful!

I know there are loads of other good places to shop from online for Gothic and Alternative clothing, accessories, jewellery and so on, and I'm hoping to make a list of as many of these places as possible for this website.  I've always thought such a thing would be useful, so I'm going to make one for everyone else. Ok! Here you go, hope you enjoy these and find them useful :)
