Lena Quist

If you haven't heard about Lena Quist, it's about time you do.

Lena sells all kinds of fabulous and outrageous clothing...which is right up my alley!
You can check out here Etsy shop and see all of her lovely creations, like these

Lace Up, Stay Ups

or these Lightning Leggings

and how about these studded and chain fringed shoulder pads
A lot of her stuff has glam rock style to it, and is definitely for those who aren't afraid to be a little grandiose.
For those of you who are fans of Kat Von D, she was recently spotted in a pair of Lena Quist silver cross leggings (which are available here).
Having the typical college-student budget, these are a little out of my price range, but if you're like me you can always save up, add them to your Etsy favorites for later, or just covet from afar. Either way, Lena is sure to be one of the next big brands in alternative fashion.
...and if you don't know, now you know.

Galleria-T

LAUNCHING JANUARY 9TH 2011
www.galleria-t.com
Created by London born, Milan based
Eric Christopher Hall.

With over a decade of experience working for some of the worlds biggest fashion houses, Eric has achieved a lifelong ambition of going it alone and channeling all of his creativity and vision into the development of the Galleria-T brand.

The whole concept of Galleria-T is about creating and exhibiting beautiful pieces of unique wearable art, ‘where the clothing is the canvas.’

All of the Galleria-T artwork has been meticulously selected and commissioned in collaboration with a handpicked selection of International Illustrators, Graphic Designers, Photographers, Fashion Stylists, Musicians, and others working within the Fashion and Creative Media industries.

Each Galleria-T garment has been ethically produced and printed in the USA, and is certified ‘Sweatshop Free’

Each item features a print which is incredibly light, the colours are luminously vibrant, and the texture of the ink soft to touch.

The production of our apparel incorporates a special hybrid style of printing in which a discharge underbase is used with an especially soft ink which is then applied over the top.

This creates a strong print with bright colours while keeping the printing really soft (even on the darker coloured garments).

Galleria-T will be releasing small capsule collections on a regular basis, not following the usual trend of releasing pieces according to the season, therefore there will always be an almost constant flow of new products available in our online store, and also eventually in selected independent boutiques Worldwide.

MT Coffinz - tutus, dreads, and more!

I know it's been a while since I've posted on my blog, I've been pretty busy these last few months! But I just made a post-worthy discovery! I found MTCoffinz , an awesome Etsy shop that specializes in all things alternative! Hair falls, tutus, belt skirts, even winter accessories!

Check out these great rainbow striped armwarmers:

Or these Bubblegum Pink and Black hairfalls...

...and don't forget the tutus!



Definitely some great gifts in this shop, the holidays are right around the corner! I know I would love to see some of these things under my tree on Xmas! Head on over to MTCoffinz to see all of the great stuff they've got!

These are a few of my favorite things...

I'm fairly new to this whole blogging thing and I'm trying to keep up with it fairly regularly. So, I decided what better idea for a post than my favorite handmade items that I got this past year!

Indian Blue Feather Headband, from Stix And Jones-


I wasn't sure how well I would pull this headband off, but I thought it looked gorgeous, reminded me of something a flapper might wear in the 1920's. Although it's a very bold accessory, it's classy- not flashy. It is a very beautiful hair piece, and I have gotten many compliments on it.


Divine Cha-Cha Heels Magnet, from Picard Creative-


The day I found Picard Creative on Etsy, I fell in love immediately. Seriously! Her shop is honestly one of my absolute favorites, I just adore everything she makes. I love the mixed-media style of her work - the glamorous pinups, old Hollywood stars, and humorous photos, paired with witty phrases. And, her magnet are made of recycled tin can lids! How cool is that?! Magnets isn't the only thing she makes. She also has bookmarks, checkbook covers, and lots of other items in her shop. Oh, and she does custom items!



End Mass Production Womens T-Shirt, from DeadWorry-

My boyfriend got this one for me for Christmas. I found it on Etsy one day and ended up wanting to get it for months. I have always loved creating things and been very much a Do-It-Yourself kinda gal, and then I started selling on Etsy in November. So finding (and owning) this shirt just made perfect sense!


"She Couldn't Be Good" Glass Pendant Necklace, from Laughing Vixen Lounge-

I love pinups, so I thought this pendant was fabulous the second I saw it. Laughing Vixen sells glass pendants, charm bracelets, bubble bracelets, and charmed pendants. She has quite a bit of retro style pinup and pulp stuff. But that's not all she sells - check her out!



Coco Lavender 4 oz. Massage Candle, from YumYumCandles-


I am usually weary of scented items over the internet because you can never know exactly how the product smells. Also, I had never tried massage candles before. In theory, it sounded great- I like lavender, candles, and massages...And when I got it and tried it out, it was totally great! Their Coco Lavender scent is so good. It isn't super potent, it's a really comforting smell. They describe it on their site as "A mix of lavender & vanilla with hints of coconut & musk." Let me just say that the term "musk" usually scares me off, because any time I have ever smelled anything with a musk tone it usually has a VERY strong smell. The notes in this scent are very subtle, and it all comes together wonderfully to form a very nice, cozy scent. Also, if you like the smell of drier sheets or warm laundry, I suggest you try their Clean Massage Candle.
