Bram Stoker's Dracula screening

This is one of my all time favorite films to watch. I love both Gary Oldman and Winona Ryder. Friends and I got together for a Bram Stoker's Dracula screening. You can't beat the 90's film. We plan to screen old school Nosferatu and some other vampire movies in the future. I decorated with a vintage Dracula comic poster I bought from a friend, bat plush dolls, my Dracula book, themed purse, scented candle, gargoyle and purple bat string lights my friend Tom gave me.

Dance all night

Love the Death Guild at DNA Lounge. When in SF it is many of us goth's second home. If you visit San Francisco go check it out. You can't beat great industrial music, dancing and rad friends. The staff is very friendly and they have delicious coffee ;)

Feeling Victorian

Took photos before I got hair done the other day. There was quite a bit of light but I kind of liked the effect it had.... a bit angelic and ethereal so I kept it. I am use to taking photos in the shadows but even this little vampire needs a little light once in a while. I am all done with it now as I shun the sun but at least I got 10 minutes of it haha. I can't wait to head to the beach in the evenings this summer for bonfires and watching the beautiful dark waves. I hope you all have a lovely summer season.

Outfit inspiration: Nymphadora Tonks in Harry Potter

I love Tonk's style in Harry Potter. She is married to Remis Lupin who is a werewolf and defense against the dark arts teacher. I love her wardrobe in the film. She is very gothic with a bit of punk added in. She wears a really cool bell necklace, which I recreated myself with velvet choker and bells I sewed on. I got them at Joanne Fabrics. Nymphadora's wand is actually a Harry Potter replica wand I purchased in England and for her broom I used a fighting stick with collected twigs tied/taped on the back. For her makeup I blended a gothic berry lip with some chap stick and did a thicker eyeliner with smudged purple shadow on top. It was a very affordable alternative to buying actual broom and I love to DIY a lot of my items when I'm dressing up. Enjoy!

My DIY necklace I made for my cosplay is now up for sale :>
Email me for details if you are interested before it is gone. I will post update if it sells.

Outfit inspiration: Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim vs the World

Ramona flowers is more steampunk than gothic but some of her outfits have a few elements to it. If you want to do casual steampunk type this would work. I put together a few fun outfits. They have a bit of color but I paired it with black faux leather jacket to give it more of a gothic punk rock feel like she had in the film. For her makeup I did a dark gothic berry lip and a bit of shadow on the eyes. For her signature star purse I colored a star on blue paper and just taped it over a circle bag I had. Goggles I got at Steampunk Couture online. For those of you that don't know she is the little hipster/indie rocker steampunk chick in Scott Pilgrim vs the World film who has a penchant for steampunk goggles, tea drinking and being generally awesome. Scott Pilgrim is based on one of my fav comic series and video game. You goth and indie nerds will get this ;)

Maleficent

Saturday we went to see Maleficent. I personally thought it was an amazing film. I loved the storyline, I didn't mind the changes..in fact I felt it sent a better message through out the film. Angelina Jolie was terrific. I definitely recommend this film to other people. It had gothic and fantasy elements through out the entire movie including dark and light fae and everything in between.. The costumes and settings were gorgeous. I put together an outfit that was inspired by the film. I hope you enjoy it.
