Fall Outfits: Gothy Fun!

Fall Outfits: Gothy Fun! by elbonner featuring knuckle rings

I have absolutely no problem admitting that I'm a huge Katy Perry fangirl. She's just 100% pure fun and her music is great to rock out to in the car by yourself. Her new album, Prism, is awesome by the way. She also has great style, which brings me to the photo above.She's going through the 90's gothy, grunge phase, which is very in at the moment and I really do like it. Lots of combat boots and Merlot lipstick; it's like living in The Craft without all the curses and shark beachings! This outfit is a personal favorite of mine. I never thought I'd be excited about crushed velvet, but Prince would be so proud of me. Pair with messy hair, a black leather jacket, and a cool place to go and you're practically the baddest bitch on the planet. These velvet dresses are all over ASOS, Nasty Gal, and Forever 21 so you have no excuse not to get one! So break out your NIN records and get dark!

Give it to Me Baby: H&M Fall Collection

H&M Fall Collection by elbonner featuring short sleeve shirts

Just when I thought I really hated fall, H&M comes out with a fall collection that makes me feel okay about never having any extra money ever again. Pending the upcoming Isabel Marant for h&m collaboration, the Swedish retailer has put forth the cooooooolest collection of Marant-ish pieces for those of us not blessed with a store big enough to get any of the collab pieces. My local stores never get any of the designer collections, so seeing this display in the front of the store made me okay with not having to beat another 20something to death for a pair of boots. Everything is just soo stinkin' cool; like wearing-fancy-sunglasses-sipping-espresso-reading-nietzche-at-an-outdoor-cafe cool. PS, I understand the overuse of the dash! What I'm trying to say is, go out, get yourself some of these pieces, and have some great fall/winter pieces that won't cost you an arm and a leg. Get to shopping fools!
