Evolve a personal style within alternative fashion

Ever since I began to experiment with different types of styles it has become painfully clear that I'm not a put together, mature well-dressed person. There's too much punk and who-gives-a-shit-? in me to feel comfortable in classy, sassy or sweet. It's weird when my clothes lack rips, holes, or a hood and when there's …

Summer hatred

Anyone else dying from the extreme weather that hit Europe this summer? I know I shouldn't complain that loudly but with a well-insulated house and no AC, we've had at least 27°C indoors at all times for more than a week and everything is damp. Feeling sticky is one of my biggest pet peeves, whether …

Unreal Luck

I'm back at work after a few weeks of vacation and it feels kind of nice. I mean, yes I would rather just stay home and watch movies for the rest of my life but it's good to feel like things... ordinary and fairly comfortable? I guess I like my usual routine. It's another month …

I bought a broken necklace (on purpose)

I saw a picture online a while ago of an awesome tentacle necklace. A statement piece in black metal with a black stone in the middle. It turned out to be a Killstar necklace called "Ursula" and the price plus shipping would be around 500 SEK/ 53 USD/ 49 EUR. That felt steep for something …

The Vinyl Record that has it ALL

I had to go back to earlier in the summer of 2021 to see when exactly I pre-ordered this beauty and on July 2nd, the purchase button on Bandcamp was pressed. It's the album Undir Köldum Norðurljósum (Exquisite Deluxe Edition LP) by Kælan Mikla. It was expected to ship out in December 2021 but then …

But Make It Horror Punk! DIY part 3. Make Patches

If you're following along, you know I had to order some new paint and a brush before I could go on and make some patches of my own for the jacket. It's possible to make patches with any kind of paint or markers, just be aware of that if they're not water resistant, they might …

Friday Throwback – The Birthday Massacre

It was almost 20 years ago and the alternative scene was overflowing with what nowadays should be deemed "creepy cute". I still have a Skelanimal backpack that I can't quite part with because of Toy Story syndrome and thanks to an internet connection and shitty torrent sites, the music world got more attainable than before. …

Dramatic Frame DIY

This DIY is something I really like because it's super easy, makes such a big difference and it's in the spirit of repurposing things you otherwise might throw away. Technically it's two different types of DIY projects but since I'm usually doing this as one piece, it felt weird to divide the post into two. …

But Make It Horror Punk! DIY part 2. Color scheme

Yes, for the observant reader, I changed the title of this project. I thought this project would take me down a path where I'd paint a fun back patch with a deathrock band logo or song in mind. What can I say? I changed my mind a little about the overall theme when I went …

But Make It Horror Punk! DIY part 1. Inspiration/Ideas

I've thrifted a super cheap velvet blazer online and if the fit is not completely awful, it's going to get an extreme punk/horror/deathrock transformation. I've been wanting to really go ham on a jacket for some time but haven't had the guts to do it because if it turned out badly, I wouldn't have anything …
