What is PASTEL GOTH you say?

SO you say...WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? And why has your blog turned into a Japanese teenage girls wet dream? Okay I'm sorry that I'm to old to hang out with teenagers but that 

doesn't mean i don't love teen style! I've picked out some images that I think sum up what Pastel Goth is about, from what I can see it's a softened interpretation of goth (which is a trend I personally never move on from) scene,(dare I say it a little bit emo) and a whole lotta KAWAII. And I'm not ashamed to say I think it's just adorable! Teen bloggers and TUMBLR addicts are all over this trend. You heard it here first!

I love the chalky washed out hair colours, Skeletons, strong lip colour & gothic make up, DIY, studded everything, A BIT PUNKY AND A BIT GRUNGY, sheers, PASTELS OBVIOUSLY, flower crowns and plastic princess tiara's (made famous by THE most famous teen blogger Tavi, aka..ROOKIE. If you haven't heard of her....like.where have you been?!)

Picture below, Machine A (check out that rockabilly hair do!), Audrey Kitching in middle (one of the most famous 'Scene Queens' is the perfect model with her ever changing candy floss hair!)And Clash magazine:

Japanese street fashion has a lot to do with the Harajuku/ Lolita/ CUTE/ princess aesthetic, and my new favourite brand NIKKILIPSTICK really packs a punky pastel coloured punch.

 

POLYVORE is the perfect place to see how the teens are playing with this trend,and great if you are not sure which items you'd like to invest in. 

Uk blogger (http://kaylahadlington.blogspot.co.uk/) bopped this trend on the nose A while back with this perfectly co ordinated hair and shirt combo and lush black lips. 

Last summer Pastel dip dyed cut offs started to emerge and now this kind of studded customised badboys are set to stay a little longer! And I'm very happy about that, as I'm still to find my perfect bleachy, purple tinted cross encrusted pair! We will only know to stop lusting after them once TOPSHOP out out a meek watered down version. If it ends up in TOPSHOP the trend is well and truly over. Well that's my opinion and I'm not gonna change it for nobody.

Floral Doc Martens + Ducky Kisses

Hello Chums.

I finally finished these boots after having started them LAST YEAR! Oh my god Ben teased me about not finishing them one too many times, so got it done! Phew. Normally things don't take me THAT long to finish!

What do you think? I'm quite happy with them, considering they were patent baby pink before and I coloured them in with Sharpies!  I was bored of them, and don't really wear pink very often, so I think I've saved myself about £175 which is about how much the sought after Sienna Miller (Generic) Floral Doc Martens have been going for. All I want to say about that is- Come on guys! Get some Originality! Make your own trends! Don't BUY in to the Bullshit! Yes they are pretty and yes its easy to get drawn into a bidding war on ebay, but really?! I'd much rather use that £175 more productively- Buy a pale pair of second hand doc's for a tenth of the price and a packet of Sharpies! Get Creative! Its what the is bloody 90's revival grunge trend is all about. Money doesn't buy you style, it buys you expensive bullshit, which makes you look like everybody else!

I'm a Sexy Statue!

Shaggy Silhouette

Ps. Thanks not abandoning me (I've felt like screaming and smashing my laptop)with the all bloody problems I've been having with fooking URL's and all the computer shite they don't teach you! I've learnt a lot by fucking up, Lets hope its smooth sailing from here on SISTAS!!!!

Psyche! xxxxxx (oh and some Ducky Kisses)
