All About the Goth Subculture

The goth culture began in England during the early 1980's in the gothic rock scene. The goth subculture has associated tastes in music, aesthetics, and fashion. They listen to gothic rock, deathrock, punk, and victorian styles. The term "gothic rock" was coined in 1967 by John Stickney. Gothic literature combines dark elements of both horror and romance. Gothic fashion is stereotyped as dark, mysterious, complex, and exotic. Typical gothic fashion includes dyed black hair, dark eyeliner, black nails and black period-styled clothing; they may or may not have piercings. Goths all have something in common, finding beauty in what others consider dark. For example, finding dead trees beautiful, and instead of having crushes on the good guys in films, they might lean owards the dark characters that seemed powerful . Goth isn't a phase, it's something you either are or aren't.

Steam-punk- steam punk is a sub-genre of goth. it's a mix of Victorian and Edwardian aesthetics combined with modern technology. It's a re-invented future or past that never happened.

My thoughts and opinions- I personally think that goth and steam-punk are really interesting and fun styles. Although, I, myself, wouldn't take up that style.

My favorite fuzzy outfits !

1. Pink fuzzy shirt, skirt, and jacket- The reason why I love this outfit is because 1) I love fuzzy things, & 2) it's cute as heck! I also like the fact that there's not too much to it, it's simple. Simple is always good.

2. Blue fuzzy crop top with pink polka dots- First, I would like to put out there just how much I love the person wearing this outfit. She is a wonderful singer, Melanie Martinez, and she was on The Voice. Her song Carousel was the theme song for season 4 American Horror Story, Freak Show. I love her style because it's just so great, so obviously I love this outfit, shirt and all.
3. White fuzzy shorts and shirt with pink garder- I love this outfit because of the cute hand made pink garder, and because of the simplicity of it. It's super cute, but the Shorts are a bit too short for me.
4. Blue striped off the shoulder top and skirt- I love this outfit because of the colors and stripes that you can kind of see. I also love the shoes because they're fuzzy and have a high heal. I just love this picture in general.
5. Green alien shirt and a pink pencil skirt with purple fuzzy trim- I absolutely adore this outfit because aliens are cool. I'm really into alien backpacks, shirts, etc. I also LOVE this skirt and her little fluff ball earrings !

5 top favorite things of the week


1. A clear rose chocker- this chocker is one of my favorite things because it is so beautiful . I also like it because it was hand made, and you can tell the person put a lot of effort into it. There's multiple shops on etsy.com , so if you are interested, check them out. 

2. A clear, plastic, mermaid green t-shirt- This shirt is so amazing and I would love to know where to find one!!! I call the color mermaid green, but others might call it forest green. If you look closely, you'll notice the shiny green tint of the clear, plastic part on the shirt. I believe I could wear this well ! 

3. Shear skirt- next for my top 5 favorite things this week is this gorgeous shear skirt. I love the way it flows as she walks, I love the blue and silver beaded pattern on it, an I even love the shoes that go with it. Everything about this is flawless.

4. Cute, fuzzy outfit- this outfit, to me, is just so playful and cute! I love the oversized ring on the chocker, the pink fuzzy dress with blue hearts and black trim, and I love the clear pumps with the fuzzy detail on the top. I would love to have this outfit, and if I did, I would wear it very often. Plus, I mean, who can resist a fuzzy outfit like this? I would imagine it's great to cuddle in!

5. High waisted shorts with ruffle trim and cats- finally, my last favorite thing for this week are these adorable shorts! First of all, I would like to point out the cats. If you don't know this already, I'm a huge fan of cats, so that's my favorite thing about the shorts. I also love the fact that their high-waisted, vintage looking, and have the ruffle trim in the bottom. 

Thank you for viewing my blog, and I hope you love these different pieces of clothing as much as I do! If you know where to find anything similar to these items, or know where to find the exact item, please comment !! I would gladly appreciate it :)

Halloween costume

This week, i'm doing my blog on what i'm going to be for Halloween, and that is a unicorn! Now, I don't mean a childish one, so don't think that.

My unicorn costume is going to be expensive, but definitely worth it. I already ordered the corset and tutu, and i already have the shoes, so all i need to order are my leg wraps, purple and white fluffies, body glitter, and the horn itself. I plan on my unicorn being lavender and white. For the horn, i'm not sure if i should go with the silver or the light glittery pink horn. I am to purchase the horn at etsy.com from the store FireflyPath. https://www.etsy.com/shop/FireflyPath?ref=l2-shopheader-name They make really cool horns all priced at $45, so if you're interested, I would suggest clicking on the link and checking them out!
