Another Bloodstock Festival outfit, Sunday was slightly cooler weather and these shorts were even shorter so leggings underneath were essential! This was the day I got to take photos of Alice Cooper, totally amazing experience - the man is a legend. Anyone who ritually gets their head sliced off by a guillotine, brings a live snake and wears a mirror-encrusted top hat and tails at their shows, is ok by me.
Wacken 2011 T-shirt, purchased last year in Germany at Wacken Open Air festival which is an enormous metal-fest. We road-tripped it the whole way from Leicester and back, visiting places on the way (Munster, Hamburg, Koln/Cologne and Brussels) it was awesome.
Short shorts are faded black denim cut offs from ASOS
Black and white stripe leggings from an ebay seller that specialises in rave-wear
Shoes are platform soled Gordon Jack boots which were around £10 on ebay a few years ago. I don't think the company exists any more but you can find similar stuff at New Rock and Buffalo. This pair is a combination of bright red and stonewash denim, and they make you a bit taller for the photopit which is a bonus!
Accessories:
Red bandana
Plastic cherries necklace
Belt (black with blue studs from Lowlife)
Studded bracelet from Lowlife
Skull and rose ring from Alchemy Gothic
Camera and photopass for work!
Bloodstock Open Air - the UK's premier metalfest, is held at Catton Hall in Derby, and I go every year. It's an amazing festival, great people, great music, great vibe. The fashion is mostly centred around the 'black tshirt' theme as you can imagine, but the piercings, tattoos and accessories are where it's at. I love the creativity.
Friday was scorching hot (can you believe it?!) so I wore short shorts without leggings for a change. Normally wouldn't do this outside of the gym but it really was hot. The shorts are pink paisley bandana print knicker-shorts from ASOS.
I'm wearing a Skindred Newport Helicopter tshirt, if you've never heard of this band you are sincerely missing out. If you've only heard their old stuff you're sincerely missing out. Union Black is one of my favourite albums of all time, go get it.
Boots - Dr. Martens soft leather tall lace ups with check pattern inside. They're the first pair of docs I've owned that haven't ripped my feet to shreds on first wear, love 'em. I tie them around mid height so that you can fold over the flaps to reveal the pattern inside/let your feet breathe if it's hot.
Accessories:
Pink bandana from ebay (tied through my belt for later)
Metal stud wristband and belt (from Lowlife)
Purple sunnies from Breo
Camera necklaces x 2 (one is a mini Diana F+ !)
My camera
Photopass and media wristband (essentials!)
I know I haven't posted in ages but it's been a crazy few weeks in my world! I've been taking photos of outfits though, so here's an update...
Heading off to the Vintage Fair in Whitby at the Pavillion with Al and my mum for a morning of drooling over EVERYTHING. Seriously, I wanted it all. Bought some wedding related artifacts (but that's on info lockdown, sorry!) and a couple of presents for people, and here is what I decided to wear;
Lace top, Navy with white collar - it's completely see through as you can tell, so I wear it with a grey floral vest underneath.
Stripe short shorts. They remind me of peppermints. Tied up with a nude skinny belt underneath the tshirt.
Jack Wills leggings, Camo laceless Converse trainers
Accessories:
Diana F+ Camera (Amazing Birthday present from Al!)
Diving Helmet necklace (ASOS)
Pipe Necklace (Anna Lou of London)
Navy Bandana with rocket clips
Plastic pearly bracelets, leather wrap bracelet
Cream Sunglasess (in my pocket)
