Style Theme: Witchy Ways.

 Play this song from 1:00 and scroll down...










































































It's the year of the witch.  There has been a wealth of black magic conjuring in the fashion air lately and I can't be more inhaled.  I have been curating these majestic pictures over the years and felt it was time to release them in an overloaded inspirational post.  Sheers, leather, velvet, long drapestry and hooded cloaks..Not to mention my favourite colours, black, dark blues, purples and reds. Wiccan like accessories and symbols have been surfacing as well, crescent moons, pentacles, Cross of Lorraine, Egyptian Pagan symbols like the Eye of Ra and the ankh, wirey and woven jewelry etc.. all stirred up together to create my very own love potion. 

Below are my 3 favourite lines that emanate a witchy aura:

Ovate

Sisters Of The Black Moon

Bona Drag Boutique


Get lost in the magic...


Warning: Do your research when it comes to symbolism.  Don't wear something unless you understand its meaning and it is something that truly represents something for you.  I don't recommend anyone to get into any sort of practice or theory without the proper knowledge.

Silver Lining:









Dark and dreary are the days with gasps of eerie fog between the downpours. This look is reflective of the grey days in the Vancity atmosphere we are currently enduring and will be for months to come. The silver lining to this lowly weather is that I'm still wearing my leather jacket as my everyday outerwear, innerwear and everywhere.  This outfit has hints of the 90's - minimalist, sleek, a little goth with a touch of space odyssey.  I started with the silver pants and worked everything around them, sheen and aqueous looking almost like liquidated metal or droplets of rain.  Nails and makeup can be their own accessory; for me this outfit felt bare when it came to the accessories so I decided to compliment it with a dark plum lip colour and a mirror-like metallic silver polish, rounding out the 90's influence.  Even though most get down about the weather I feel that it can be inspiring if you let it be.

Find the beauty in the darkness so that you can learn to dance in the rain.
