Rapping on Heaven's Door








Holy Rap Shirt/Dress- Thrifted
Leopard Collar Dress - Thrifted
Shoes - Club Kid Spike Wedge
Tights - ASOS
Skull Bracelet - Markets

So I did say I'd do something a tad darker this week... and here it is!
I've been in love with this 'shirt-dress' my sister bought from a skate store in Auckland for quite a while now and when the opportunity arose I just couldn't turn down styling it. It's got that awesome religious feel, with the stained glass windows but instead of having religious icons, it features the 'GREAT RAPPERS' of all time! (From left to right: Snoop Dog, Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls and 50cent).
To be very honest, I'm not that into rap but I really admire & love the imagination of whoever came up with this dress!
My other favourite part of this outfit is the Club Kid Platform Shoes! Lots of people have mixed opinions about platforms (especially when they are covered in spikes). . . For the most part, so many of my friends and family thought I was ridiculous when I ordered them. But I am absolutely in LUUURRRRRVEEEE!~ Admittedly they are the hardest shoes I've ever had to walk in as the soles are very slim and narrow. Also, when I first ordered them they were a super tight fit as the leather hadn't stretched. But all in all they are fast becoming my favourite pair of shoes to date! Anyway, that's all for this week!
I'm not sure if I'll find the time to do an age-old 'Valentine's Day' look... but I'll see how much I can squeeze in over the next 3 days.

Of Stars & Moons, Bears & Balloons







White Cami - Somedays Lovin
Pink Shorts - Thrifted
Brown Belt - Thrifted
Crochet Cardigan - Somedays Lovin
White Socks - Thrifted
Rose Wreath - Homemade
Skull Necklace - Ladama Hardware
Shell Pendant - Subiaco Markets
Fox Head Bag - Antique Markets
Shoes - Jeffry Campbell Foxy Wood Wedge (Pink)

I simply love sitting by the river and watching the wold go by~ Which is probably why it's become one of my very favourite places to take photos! Although next time I probably won't be taking them in the middle of the day. It was so HOT that by the time we finished I looked as though I'd taken a dip in the river made entirely of sweat. Ew~ haha!
I am a big fan of wearing lovely light colours in the summer, so gorgeous pastel pinks have been on constant wardrobe rotation as well as lovely loose fitting items - cause seriously, who wan't to wear body-con in summer?
My favourite part about this outfit is the Wreath in my hair. My sister made it for me out of the 50 long stemmed roses my mum received when she turned 50 last year, so it just has a lot of sentimental value.
Anyway, if you would like to see more photos of my outfits you can always go to PINEAPPLE NIPPLES as my lovely photographer uploads them, along with some of her own stuff, like wildfire!

Look forward to next weeks post, I'm planning on something a tad darker than usual!
