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!

Seamstress of Bloomsbury – Greta Blouse

Hello guys and gals! I am so excited to finally be able to show you my latest collab! 

It was with The Seamstress of Bloomsbury, a shop I have been a fan of for ages now. They specialize in authentic vintage reproductions, from the cut and the patterns right down to the fabric.

The three garments I chose were a blouse, a dress and a beautiful siren suit, and since I really want to take the time to do a proper review, each will get their own blog post.

The Cultist

Both the dress and the jewellery came from The Gothic Shop, to whom I am eternally grateful for their sponsorship and support of my photo shoot ideas, regardless of how unusual they sometimes may be. This time the idea started off vague: a witch-like figure and strange rituals, and through a bit of brainstorming The Cultist was born. 

Within an eldritch circle she summons Lovcraftian horrors and they, in turn, possess her and take their first steps into our unsuspecting world.  

The Sorceress

When TheBlack Cat Jewellery Store sent me their colourful skull charm bracelet, I knew that it deserved something special.  I love charm bracelets, but too often the dangling charms are too far apart and the overall look tends to be a bit sparse. Not this one, however, the little skulls almost overlap and the silvery chain-link is rich and beautifully crafted.
