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.

we come in peace.

As an avid Sci-Fi fan I'm personally digging all the other worldly goings on in fashion at the moment. From metallics, body armour, shimmery fabrics, unreal hair colours to full faced colour make up and sculptural hair do's, fashion has finally shook off it's steely austere and started having fun again. Here are a few of my favourite details and items that I think show the future of this trend is as exciting and thrilling as space travel itself! 

The always edgy and forward thinking, Alexander MQueen's much discussed alien shoes, wild silhouettes and sculptural hairdos. 

Hussein Chalayan & Swarovski created this very 'Blade Runner' dress which could easily be a costume in a sci Fi future movie! It has two layers LED lights with a layer of translucent fabric covering it. AWESOME! 

The awe inspiring Meadham & Kirchhoff's catwalk hair & make up, is colourful and playful, with interesting fabrics giving a otherworldly space age feel. The hair chocked is particularly interesting and forward thinking! Playful colours make me think of futuristic utopian costumes from Sci Fi shows. 

Jeremy Scott amazingly fun wigs, spacey bindis and shiny fabrics, make me feel all happy and bubbly inside. Playfuly wild and refreshing! 

 

Tequila Star has two separate lines in original designs under the name To Kill A Star....

And a fab jewellery line...(Pictures to follow..)

There is such a wealth of exciting fun designs out there and with the Tumblr generation of teens pushing fashion trends in very uncharted (heehe..get it?) direction I can't wait to see what designers come up with next! The future belongs to our kids! 

NIKKILIPSTICK is the sex

NUFF SAID I THINK. ITS THE DOGS. THE SEX. GET IN MY BAG! BAGSIED.

GET ME SUMMA THAT!  

Oh and another obsession to follow...other than compulsive 

INSTAGRAMMING and TUMBLR scrolling! 

What are you obsessing over? I'm currently in love with Audrey Kitching's pink hair.

Blog 1yr Anniversary and NEW STOCK!!!

Wow, totally didn't realise that yesterday was a year since my first blog post! I can't believe its been a year (bet every body says that eh) but really it feel like I've come a long way. In terms of content, I like to think I'm not just a reblogger, and the girls who just reblog other peoples images (think TUMBLR) I don't think they can honestly call themselves a 'Blogger'. I think you at least need 'Original Content', or some sort of opinion about what is out there. There is nothing wrong with inspiration posts, I love them! The blogs I love the most are the ones that are almost all original images/creations by the blogger. True inspiration. Not rehashed or copied. You know what I'm talking about ladies! Stay Original! Don't be scared to show the best of you not a second rate copy or someone else! Now for some BADASS STOCK!!!!
