Ruby’s Wishlist – I Love Leggings

BROKEN* from Supre (only $20!!!) || Starry Night from Black Milk (I love Van Gogh) || Rainbow Animal Print from anywhere, really || Pink Lightning from Lorna Jane (shame they’re so overpriced) ||  ASOS Sequin Panel from ASOS (Ahhh how hot are sequined leggings???)I loved leggings WAY before Black Milk made them cool. I’ve campaigned for leggings-as-pants acceptance and wear them ALL the time (though not yet as pants – that’s something I’m still working on confidence-wise). Here are the ones I’m desperate for at the moment. I found SO many amazing styles, so this is a very refined list!

Ruby’s Wishlist – Part 5

1. Pink “Lenora” Cake Hat – Agent Lover Bakery – US$60. Made by my favourite Filipina blogger. I’ve been meaning to get one of these for ages. Tiny top hat + cake = LOVE!
2. Galaxy Purple Leggings – Black Milk Clothing – $75. I’m conflicted about Black Milk and don’t usually like full length leggings but they’re so original an in right now. These are my absolute faves.
3. Wink Marker Pen – Barry M - £4.59. I’ve heard Barry M products are really good and I love the idea of a texta for your eyes!
4. Night Ware shoe – Jeffrey Campbell – US$199.95. My sister just bought a pair of Night Walk’s and if I can walk in them, I’m so getting these :O
5. Shinjuku dress – Dangerfield – $59 (on sale). What can I say, I love Dangerfield. Love this dress and the name only makes it better. Plus, it’s on sale! Watch out, next pay cheque!
6. Walking Into Spiderwebs nails – Kawaii Nails – US$39.99. While I wouldn’t ever buy/wear fake nails, I am so inspired by the nails these guys create and must replicate ASAP!
7. Jolie Bow Picnic dress – Wheels & Dollbaby – $425. For that price? Not a chance. But I am so in love with this dress. OMG the fabric!!! I also adore this one.
8. Camaro creepers – Underground - £79.75. I am so stoked that creepers are in fashion again! There’s nothing better than pink and leopard print together in one shoe!

Ruby’s Wishlist – Part 4

1. Zombietini Dress by Iron Fist. Cute and casual with zombie faces doing my favourite expression D:
2. Boyfriend Skull Watch by Asos. I used to only ever wear novelty/kids watches but then I got a cute Guess watch and now appreciate simple styles. But I still love skulls and this watch is just too cute to comprehend while still looking normal and “adult”.
3. Bat Attack pink dress by Sourpuss. Pink, flattering style and covered in bats? Umm, ok. You’ve twisted my arm!
4. Zombie brains headband on etsy. Guess who just found the perfect accessory for my Brisbane Zombie Walk outfit?!
5. Fruit slice ceramic nail art. I stumbled upon these so randomly and already have so many plans for them!
6. Gold Digger Zombie Stomper platform by Iron Fist. I always wanted the green version but knew I’d have trouble with the height of the heel. Now it’s available in pink, who care if I can walk in them or not?!

Ruby’s Wishlist – Part 3

It sure has been a while since I did up a wishlist. Obviously there is a bit of a theme here so bear with me on this ;)

1. Hogwarts sterling silver ring – Found this on etsy thanks to Natatree. The only thing that would seal the deal was if it had some bling.
2. Black Blindfold tank – By A is for Arsenic. I love sexy bondage imagery, what more can I say?
3. Pink Petal Zombie Unicorn dress – By hell Bunny. No shit guys, this is the dress of my dreams. I am buying it as soon as I get my tax refund and will probably wear it to death. DAMN!
4. Mysterious Mauve lipstick – By Dior. Maybe this makes me tacky, but I love purple lipstick but it’s always so plummy and dark. I saw this the other week and haven’t stopped thinking about it since (in other words, I’ll own it real soon).
5. Deathly Hallows necklace – Found on etsy. A very subtle way to show you’re a total HP geek.
6. Slytherin t-shirt – From Jay Jay’s. I am Gryffindor through and through but god I hate the colour red. I’m a bit wary of the idea of supporting Slytherins but at the same time I know they’re not all bad and in some cases can be  total heroes. All of the Jay Jay’s Harry Ptter shirts are adorable, and will all probably find themselves being bought when I get paid next!

Ruby’s Wishlist – Part 2

I have decided I need to write more about fashion on this lil ol’ blog of mine. God knows I spend 90% of my life thinking about and buying new clothes, so why don’t talk about it more? I will try and change that :)

1. Malice Dress in Wild Roses by Lena Hoschek. My god I want just about everything from her latest season :O
2. Mary Jane heels by Dr Martens. I stare at these every time I pass Downes Shoes near my place. I imagine they’re super comfortable which is all I need in a heel.
3. Lorissa Studded & Crystal Peeptoes by Sam Edelman. I actually saw a version of these in a shop in the City and haven’t stopped thinking about them since. I don’t care if they’re comfy or if I can’t walk in them, I must have them!
4. Kissing Poodles Necklace by Lovisa. I just found this shop (have I mentioned how much I love working in the City again??!) and was thrilled by their Skulls & Crosses collection (no pics of the pieces I liked unfortunately). I love affordable jewelry!
5. Black Blouse by Ella Lai. Since I am about to start a super corporate job, I have been keeping an eye out of awesome, unusual tops that will cover my tattoos. For once those annoying daily etsy emails paid off!

StyleTread shoes

A friend of mine pointed me to StyleTread today, which was very convenient as it was only this morning that I looked upon all of my shoes strewn across my bedroom floor, I thought about how badly I need some new, interesting shoes to mix things up a little. I have so many shoes, we’re talking about 50 pairs, but I tend to be a bit samey with a lot of them. Black patent? Pink leather? Sequined flats? I have heaps of ‘em. I guess I tend to just go for what I’m used to, often without really thinking about it. But I need a change! As I browsed through their hundreds of goregeos shows I came across a few that are unlike what I currently own but are still very “Ruby Velour”.

First off is Leo by Diavolina in Black. I love the suede, the wood and the studs. Three sexy textures in one shoe! The heel is just thick enough so I know I would be able walk in these without too much stumbling and the thick sole means enough padding my feet won’t be ready to fall off at the end of the night. Oh and they have grip! Oh how I love the thought of heels with some grip! They are so simple, but definitely not boring. I have about a dozen LBD’s I could team up with these. They’re just $139.95 too.

OK so allow me to explain… I love the 1920s very passionately. I love the fashion, the art, the music and the decadence of the roaring 20s. I swear I was a flapper in a former life, visiting speak easy’s, getting drunk on bootleg liquor with my long pearls, short hair and low-backed dress. I absolutely adore in these shoes (Louisiana by I Love Billy in Black/grey) and would wear them with so much. Just because they look like they’re from the 20s, doesn’t mean you can only dress like you’re from the era when wearing them. Because of the colours you could wear them with just about anything. Personally I have a few black and white dresses that would look outstanding with these and at $89.95 I may well just have to get them.

And now for the totally ridiculous! Please welcome Faya by RMK in black! I was only talking to a fiend recently about the ghetto fabulous boots that used to be around in the early – mid Noughties. These are by far the most ghetto-fabulous yet completely wearable type I have ever seen. They’re hiking boots, with sexy heels. Aaaah it’s a match made in heaven for me. So impractical and fun, I think these would look amazing with black skinny jeans. I honestly don’t know what I own that would suit these, but I am sure I can work something out! The brown ones are also very special. These babies are $189.95.

Ruby’s Wishlist Part 1

Yay my first ever wishlist! I tend to lose track of all the cool stuff I find online that I want to buy, but not today! Here are the lovely things I am currently gushing over:

1. Unicorn Rainbow Necklace from Locketship $140US
2. Unicorn Gem Necklace from Locketship $80US
3. X-ray Mickey Tunic from Dimepiece Designs $52US
4. DC Comics Gotham City Ring from nOir Jewelry $225US
5. Birthday Girl shoes by Gala Darling $100US
6. Fuchsia Prom Dress from Unique Vintage $78US

I was going to explain why I like them all to you, but I think they all speak for themselves. I’m seriously considering getting that dress though. I don’t think it could be more “me” if it possibly tried. And the price is pretty good too!
