Demon Huntress pt 2- The rest of the ensemble

Demon Huntress pt 2- The rest of the ensemble
I promised you there would be another part of the blog for my Demon Huntress shoot, and here it is, the second instalment. All photos were taken by Villy V.



I have already mentioned that this was a project I wanted to bring to life for a while now, and that I wanted to do something different than my usual shootings. I wanted.., well, I wanted pure badassery.  
This was, I admit, the main reason for my other choices from The Gothic Shop (and once again, I’d like to thank them for their support). These included the Embrace ofdarkness asymmetric top by Punk Rave, who are by now famous for their unique designs and attention to details (and are really not as much of a problem when ironing as I had feared), and their Witchery jacket, which is, let’s be real here, as close as you can get to wearing a wizard’s cloak and not get too many strange looks on the street. I also added a pair of Banned corset style skinnyfit jeans and a Restyle belt. The belt proved just what I needed to hold the leg armour from Brocade Budoir in place.

Atomic Lace

The recipe is as follows: Take original designs, a dash of cute, a dash of creepy, a whole bucket full of glitter, and seal it all in resin.

What you get is Atomic Lace, whose owner, Laura Michele, cooks up something new and wonderful on an almost daily basis. I’ve been eyeing her designs for a while, and so I wrote to her and asked her if she’d be interested in a review, and she said yes!

Of bats and pendants

A while ago I contacted The Black Cat Jewellery Store and asked them if they would be interested in a collab, and they were!



After that I had the sweet suffering of picking out exactly what I want to parade in front of a camera, and the choice came down to a bat shaped bracelet, a bat shaped necklace and a teardrop pendant. Quite a batty selection, but then again, I am rather fond of them.

Demon Huntress pt 1- Dragonfly Hoodie


Those of you who follow me on Facebook (Venusmantrap) have seen a few shots of this hoodie from The Gothic Shop, and those of you who follow me on Instagram (@pupastis)  have seen a whole lot more, since I never seem to be taking it off.  It is all warm and fleecy inside, all GaF on the outside, and is really super comfortable.

The Seamstress of Bloomsbury- Gloria Jumpsuit



This is part three of my shoot and review for The Seamstressof Bloomsbury. I admit to having saved the best for last!
We shot this at the Nikola Tesla museum in Zagreb, and they were kind enough to give us a free run of the place on a Monday when the museum is closed to the public. Ivy and Taja were kind enough to be set mistresses, and Villy V took the photos.

All of you who read my blog regularly (hi!!!!) know that certain things make me happy: shirtwaist dresses, contrast trims and pretty fabrics. This dress has all of that and then some!
