Deviously Divine (Accessories) to Soothe the Sinners Soul: Se7en Deadly Clothing

My first blog featuring Se7en Deadly Clothing had me comfy and casual with their awesome hangover lounge pants, yet their accessories have us feeling fancy! Oh yes, their awesome designs don't stop at apparel, they have some amazing hair bow offerings under the "oddities" section.

One way I like to get maximum use out of hair bows is by attaching them to a sweater, dress strap, scarf, etc., I feel like it's just another fun way to accessorize! I am loving the Broken Cherub Bow clipped onto my shrug sweater paired with the Repent Creepy Doll Bow in my hair. Since the bows are mounted to alligator clips, they really stay put! I tend to wear hair accessories close to my shaved side, so a secured clip helps me to..well, feel secure! Nothing like being totally bummed after realizing you've lost one of your favorite hair accessories. Sigh...

"Oddities"

When Derek saw the Date Night Necktie, he said "Ohhhhh!", as he also enjoys wearing black and white ensembles. The silky white tie has a retro image of guy and a gal playing around with the Ouija board. Does that sound like a fun date night to you? Hehehe! There is nothing boring about Se7en Deadly's necktie selection, as Derek is overjoyed to find men's accessories that fit his macabre sense of style. 

Date Night Necklace 2.5" Skinny Necktie

Look into his eyes...maybe not too close. LOL!

Ummm, so Derek looks a little crazed, but I think it's because he is excited to share with my readers a discount code from Se7en Deadly! Enter COFFINKITSCH into the discount code section at checkout to receive 20% off your entire order. Say what?! Awesome.

Thank you for reading, until next time!

Dapper and Swag

I'm a huge fan of wearing necklaces under my collared shirts, so I got to thinking and went on a search for collar clips. I came across Dapper and Swag on etsy and was elated. So many amazing pieces to choose from, but I narrowed it down to the Silver Skull and Crossbones Collar Chain. I also have a few other goodies on my radar which I think would add some depth to the pieces in my closet.

Since I've been going through my closet in project 'wear everything', I realized that I needed to add some fun pieces into the mix and my most favorite way to do so is with accessories. 

I also wanted to say "Happy Valentine's Day!" I will be hanging out with Derek and Danielle sharing a pizza, watching TV and hiding inside from the sub-zero temperatures.

Cheers!

Kitsch Picks : Meteor Jewelry Co.

+The Vamp Necklace +The Vamp Bracelet

I can now resume looking at wonderful things to share (that aren't always home decor related), since our house tasks have settled down a little bit. The Meteor Jewelry Co. has beautiful retro 50s/60s inspired pieces and they haven't forgotten about us Vamps. *Wink* I love silver jewelry and then you throw spider webs into the mix and I'm sold! I have a few friend's weddings coming up this year and this set would be amazing to wear!

They also say they have new designs coming soon!!!

Hardware

I love pieces that have a lot of silver hardware combined with leather. Whether it's a belt, boots or accessories, it stands out against black so nicely. 

I'm wearing this large knit sweater over a dark purple velvet maxi dress, both were thrift store finds. Surprisingly the hole-y knit is warm!

They say that if you wore it before, you shouldn't wear it again (as in fashion and trends) and I pffffffft to that. I wore stretch velvet in the 90s/early 00's and I welcome it back into my life now that I can find it! Yeah, I bought some wide leg velvet pants and did a little happy dance. 

PS-I got a shout out from Jen over at Betties N Brimstone, thank you and yes, goths can smile! Haha!

Kitsch Picks : So Perfectly Twisted

+Lament Configuration Necklace

+Lament Configuration Bracelet

I am by no means a horror movie buff, but I do love Hellraiser and own a replicated Lament Configuration box. So, I think these pieces by So Perfectly Twisted are quite clever...."You solved the box, we came. Now you must come with us, taste our pleasures."

Muahahahaha! *cough cough* Ahem, I mean thank you for reading!

PS-The pink flamingo pin backed on astroturf=brilliant!!!!

Those 80s Earrings

I'm a big fan of wearing large earrings with short hair, so I've been on the hunt for bold 80s style earrings on my vintage shopping travels. Something about the geometric design of these $3 beauties made my heart skip a beat! Finding these earrings instantly made me regret passing up some brooches (of a similar style) on our last trip to Cleveland, Oh. Oh well, it's not the first time I've had to live with shopping regret.

I'm hoping I'll find some more crazy geometric earrings to add to the small collection. Ohh, I would love some gaudy leopard ones or zebra or glitter! Hahaha! 

Thank you for reading!

Kitsch Picks : Freak Show Follies

+Evil Eye bracelet +Evil Eye earrings+Evil Eye necklace

Giving someone the 'evil eye' is a malevolent look that many cultures believe is able to cause injury or harm. Talismans used to protect against the evil eye are also called the 'evil eye', much like the pieces by Freak Show Follies. I enjoy beautiful jewelry that also may serve as a symbol for protection, luck, health, etc.

Skulls and a Bat, Oh My!

Lots of exciting things have happened over the past week or so, my birthday; holiday gatherings, dinner and falling into the shower-ripping down the shower curtain and hurting my knee. D'oh! No trip to the hospital, but I'm sore and thus not feeling inspired in the outfit department, but I wanted to share my Kreepsville 666 white skull necklace with the matching earrings. I feel like this little set is a twist on the classic on a white pearl necklace set, but with more edge!

I can't wait to wear the set with this awesome vintage dress!

I also have a little friend with me, who I became acquainted with while at the MAGIC tradeshow in Las Vegas, and I received him as a birthday gift from our friends Mike and Judy.Thanks guys! They are such great mind readers! The little bat is a mini purse and reminds me so much of Ice Bat, hehe!

I hope everyone is enjoying their week, now I'm off to battle through the snow to get to work.

Thank you for reading!

My Style featuring Alchemy Gothic from Body Jewellery Shop

David from Body Jewellery Shop contacted me to inquire about featuring some pieces of my choice from www.bodyjewelleryshop.com on Coffin Kitsch. I was very excited and opted to pick out some Alchemy Gothic pieces since I do not have any piercings other than my nose ring, yet the Body Jewellery Shop has a plethora of body jewelry for amazing prices. 

The Alchemy Gothic jewelry selection is located under the 'Fashion' tab then scroll down to the 'Fashion Jewelry' sub-tab and click on 'Alchemy Gothic'. The items I choose are; Cult of Isis Pendant, Alchemist Stud Earrings and the Nevermore Cross Stud Earring. I am really happy with the quality of all the pieces which will join the rest of my small (but growing) Alchemy Gothic collection. I was especially excited about the Cult of Isis Pendant necklace as I've been reading an interesting book about Egyptian magic.

The Body Jewellery Shop is based in the U.K, so I was quite impressed with the low U.S pricing and how quick the items were shipped to me AND they have free standard shipping on orders over $15. I am definitely putting Body Jewellery Shop in my favorites folder!
