EVIL WE ARE

Sooner than you can say "summer is over" I am in my winter guise; that is, the gothy, grungy, witchy version of myself. My Evil Twin, if you like, or rather just how I looked from the ages of fourteen to nineteen. Because that's what was cool then. Watching bands and drinking pints, pretending to be able to play guitar at jam night but realistically struggling to move from D major to D minor.

That has all stuck with me, with added appreciation for layers and proportions, and my witchy winter self adores scouring the web for Evil Twin bits and pieces. That's why I was so glad to find Spoiled Brat; their selection of ET satisfies my rockiest A/W feelings, plus they stock my other bests Minkpink, Wildfox, Waiste and UNIF. A one-stop shop for all of your grungiest winter needs. Plus, I am a complete spoiled brat, stamping my cowboy-boot-clad foot whenever I need to get my way, so could this store be any more perfect for me?

Evil we are, and spoiled we will always be. I can't wait to wear this tank with woolen plaids when the temperature drops.. but for now I am resolutely sticking to bare legs 'til I can bear it no more.

CLOUDS OF SMOKE

"Is this really weird, or just a bit weird?" I ask my boyfriend of this outfit. "Well, it's certainly an interesting mix", he says with the tact that four years of these questions bring. This outfit actually came together through a desire to wear this shirt plus the autumn feelinz I've already been experiencing lately. I know we had eight gruelling months of winter but I already want to wear tartan and velvet! So I've made my craving work for summer with a mini length and bare legs, though I'm very much looking forward to these trousers being available so I can act out my tartan trip fully.

If you're into this necklace, by the way, get in here quick for some real bargains. Faye is selling off samples she's made that haven't quite made the Bohemian Collective cut; her standards must really be scrupulous as I adore every single piece. It took me a few days to choose which slice I wanted as every time I looked I was drawn to a different one, but I finally went for this because of its unusual shape and its freshly-made-iced-latte colouring. Perfect with the clouds of smoke of this Evil Twin shirt!
