DON'T PRAY FOR ME

DON'T PRAY FOR ME

Happy Bank Holiday Monday!! I can't believe that it is a bank holiday and it is sunny!! I've been having a very chilled weekend before I go back to work tomorrow after my bed rest. 

KNOW THAT WE'LL WEAR OUR SCARS

KNOW THAT WE'LL WEAR OUR SCARS

Embracing my scars has always been something that I have struggled with throughout my life. They are a part of me, they are evidence of what I have endured throughout my life and they are here to stay.

I'LL STOP THE WHOLE WORLD

I'LL STOP THE WHOLE WORLD

I can't believe that it is Thursday already, where has this week gone? A lot has happened in the World of Moshingzombies in this past week and it has made me appreciate what I do have in my life. 

OH LOOK, IT STILL ISN'T A PHASE MOM

OH LOOK, IT STILL ISN'T A PHASE MOM

Fashion has always been a big part of my life, despite this - I have had MANY disastrous outfits over the years. But what I have learned from this is that I was just finding my style. In this post, I want to divulge the things that I have learned from running this lil' blog for the past 4 years.

I GIVE MY HEART TO YOU

I GIVE MY HEART TO YOU

Happy Friday everyone! I am back with my awkward but semi sassy posing to show off my rad outfit. After last weeks post where I was having a bit of a meltdown with my style, I delved into my wardrobe and put this little outfit together.

ALL I NEED IS YOU

ALL I NEED IS YOU

Welcome back! This outfit is just something I threw together after being in my "corporate" outfit all day after spending the day in interviews so I wanted something super casual. 

SPIT IT OUT

SPIT IT OUT

Welcome back! I'm currently sat in bed while surrounded by chocolate wrappers and lots of junk food and just generally feeling very gluttonous.  Let's talk about this outfit... after all, this is a "personal style diary" or whatever I'm calling it these days...

BREAK THE WALLS

BREAK THE WALLS

Hi everyone!! Welcome back to Moshingzombies. It has been a long time since I have posted to this blog, this is due to many reasons but I'm not going to bore you with my life story for the umpteenth time lmao...

LET IT SLEEP

LET IT SLEEP

Hello everyone! I'm back today with another fashion post, but this time I'm in my garden rather than on location because I couldn't find someone to do the photography ;:; I should properly mention that each of my posts are titled with song lyrics which I am loving at the time.. todays is "Asking Alexandria - Let it Sleep." Oh yeah, by the way... I have purple hair now!! 

Todays oufit is pretty chill and is something that I would wear on an everyday basis. So the raglan is from Wendigo Apparel who are an awesome Italian company, I ordered it in a medium which comes up pretty big on me however I just did this half tuck thing with my jeans which kinda makes me feel edgy >.< The beanie is also from Wendigo Apparel, we all know I love my beanies but I usually go for darker coloured beanies but this time I decided to shake it up a bit with pink?! I thought it might go with my hair.. I paired them with my old Topshop Joni jeans where I decided to be totally pop punk and rip them... Yep. Much pop. Such punk. Then obviously I decided to wear my old tatty vans because I don't really have any other shoes to wear and I really should get round to sorting that out.. 

I hope you liked this outfit! Let me know in the comments below what you think and see you in the next post!    

...AND I'LL SAVOUR EVERY MOMENT OF THIS

...AND I'LL SAVOUR EVERY MOMENT OF THIS

Photographer: Jhestrey Familara

OMG HAI. Do you remember me? Hopefully ya do ^.^ So much has been going on with me so I have kinda neglected my blog. However, I'M BACK! I've really missed blogging but as usual life has gotten in the way >.< 

I've had a few deadlines for uni which kept me very busy, then I had an amass of doctor appointments and pills for this illness-y, shitty thing which I've got (I have a hospital appointment in April with the Rheumatologist and I also have physio), then I went to meet one of my best blogging pals Jess in York where I discovered that we are pretty much twins and then I went to London last week and had an AMAZING time (although I'm still suffering now, 10/10 WOULD NOT recommend the 175 steps in Russell Square station)... 

That brings us to today, so onto my outfit! I bought this cute dress from a stall at Spitalfields Market in London, it was supposed to be £20 but since I only had £18 on me, the lovely guy gave it to me for that instead! I love how this dress satisfies both my alternative side and my love for Japanese style. My bag was given to me as a Christmas present, I did have a plan to write a "What I got for Christmas" kind of post however things with my health went tits up lol. Anyways, it is from KillStar which is one of my favourite brands but their stuff is so expensive ;:; I paired these with my netted tights (of course), cute knee high socks and my platform boots which I feel brings this outfit together. 

DRESS: Spitalfields Market - £18 (similar) BAG: Killstar - £29 SHOES: Select - £22.99 SOCKS: Primark - £3 (similar) I hope you enjoy reading my first blog post back! I am planning on posting here weekly with my personal style posts with a few other bits thrown in. See you next week :)

ON WEDNESDAYS WE WEAR BLACK

ON WEDNESDAYS WE WEAR BLACK

Jacket: Hollister - £35.40 (similar) Tee: In Love with Fashion - £12.99* Skirt: H&M - £24.99 (similar) Tattoo Choker: Amazon - £1.00 Pendant Necklace: Black Feather Jewellery - £6.00* ...To be honest, I wear black constantly. I love how easy it is to style while looking effortless. Black is definitely my go to colour.
I love this tee. It's actually a crop top but for this outfit I decided to tuck it into the skirt to give it more of a dress vibe. I also thought it was about time that my Hollister jacket made a feature on here. Now I'm going to be honest, this is probably the most expensive piece of clothing I own. Although I didn't buy it, I thought I would mention it since I usually try and stick to budget alternatives for this blog but I thought that this jacket would work well with this outfit. For the smaller details, I went with layering up some chokers with necklaces and stuck to my essential fish net tights. I was going to add a beanie but I thought you would all be sick of seeing it by now. Let me know in the comments below what you think of my outfit! 

HOLE HEARTED

HOLE HEARTED

TEE: Hole Hearted Apparel - Scarab Mandala (£12.99)* SHIRT: H&M - Hooded Flannel Shirt (£19.99) JEANS: Topshop - Joni Jeans (£36.00) BEANIE: Poundland - Grey Beanie (£1.00) SHOES: Vans - Green Classic Authentic Vans (£50.00) Since being back at university, I've been after comfortable outfits which still make me look as if I have put some sort of effort into getting dressed on a morning (if only I could just wear my duvet eh??) 
I got this amazing tee from my good friends over at Hole Hearted Apparel and of course, I went with a oversized kind of vibe for this outfit so that it would be comfortable and warm. I paired the tee with my -not so black anymore- black joni jeans from Topshop. I really struggle with jeans which fit nicely with my weedy legs which is the only way I can justify spending so much on one pair of jeans as I feel that these fit nicely. As mentioned in my previous post, I did a little bit of shopping and picked up this hooded flannel shirt that I've had my eye on for a while as I wanted an in-between weather kind of jacket, so I wouldn't freeze but wouldn't overheat and this jacket is perfect for just that. I went for some comfortable flats i.e. my vans and my usual beanie (which I wear almost everyday - I really need to invest in more!) just to bring the rest of the outfit together... (and I kinda needed to wear shoes...) You may have noticed that I have changed my URL. Nope, you aren't imagining it. This comes complete with an different look for my blog - I really feel as if something as small as changing my blogs look/name has given me my blogging mojo back! So don't worry, you'll be seeing me again soon ;) 

RIPPED TIGHTS AND LEATHER

RIPPED TIGHTS AND LEATHER

I have managed to get round to doing another outfit post, which I might add, there will be a lot more of on here (along with my awkward af poses... sorry about that..)  I bought the top, shorts and necklace at the same time and was a bit unsure of what I would pair the top with and while I had laid out the clothes on my bed I realised that this outfit needed to happen. I think it is fun, easy to wear and practical. I wore this while doing the styling for a fashion shoot and it was so comfortable to wear (yes, even the leather shorts!) I think it is perfect for this awkward in between stage where it chilly but gets quite warm throughout the day.  Top: New Look - £7.99 | Shorts: H&M - £10 | Cardigan: Primark - £10 (Similar) Necklace: H&M - £6.99 (Similar) | Shoes: Hidden Fashion - £7* I also wanted to do a quick update about what is happening with me at the moment (some of which will explain my absence from here..) First off, I have started university where I am studying Fashion Enterprise (or sometimes it gets called Fashion Marketing.) I am absolutely loving it. It is amazing that this time last year I was barely at university because I hated it and being there made my depression/anxiety worse in comparison to this year where I am on a completely different course and I am loving it.     You may have also noticed a few changes about the way I look. I'll start with the most recent one, I finally got a haircut! My hair was pretty much damaged so I decided to have a bob(?) with a fringe cut back in. I'm not sure if I like it yet (but that might be due to the fact that I can never straighten my fringe properly.) Another change is that I have a few more additions to my tattoo collection, I have finally finished my half sleeve but I am already booked in to turn it into a full sleeve. Lastly, I got my septum pierced! I can't really remember if I have actually mentioned this on here yet but I've had it done for a few months now, I love it (especially with the endless out of adorable clickers you can buy.)  Finally an update for the blog: I want to make this blog into more of a fashion space as fashion is where my heart lies (over beauty) but I felt like I have fell into the trap of taking the easier route of writing about makeup, because lets be honest, you can't take outfit pictures in your pjs. I am also thinking of revamping (still undecided on whether or not I want to rename it - feeling like 'The Girl with the Winged Liner' doesn't scream fashion to me) my blog to make it more fashion orientated. Let me know what you think below!  So there you have it! If you have made it this far then here is a virtual cookie as you are awesome, thank you for reading my coherent ramblings, see you next time :) 

OUTER CROSS: BOTTLE BONE VIAL NECKLACE

OUTER CROSS: BOTTLE BONE VIAL NECKLACE

I am a huge lover of anything alternative, kooky and dam right weird so when this necklace fell through my door the other day, I was in awe. This cute yet macabre necklace is from the 'Boro born brand, Outer Cross. Described as alternative 'with a dark twist', Outer Cross was established in 2013 by creator and designer Paul Dobson when he felt that there was a gap in the market for alternative brands (which I'm never going to say no too.)

"Stand up and be counted. Be true to yourself and follow your dreams. Become who you dream to be, be different."

The necklace I received was the Bottle Bone Vial necklace*, which yes, is made up of the remains of rodents, shrews, voles and various small birds which have been put into a jar. Weirdly awesome, right? The bones were obtained through natural means, so no animals were hurt for the purpose of fashion.

The bottle itself measures in at 2.3cm x 1.3cm and the chain is 44cm. The chain feels sturdy and the clasp is of high quality too, I often find with some brands that the clasp breaks too easy or are too stiff. Another thing I like is that the clasp is quite big, as I have rubbish eyes I often need to strain my eyes to see the teeny weenie clasps that some brands use.

I feel that this necklace will go with many types of outfits, some of which will be coming to this very blog soon (think lots of black, leather, chunky shoes and ripped fishnet tights.) I have had so many compliments about this necklace already, even after telling people that "yes, those are real bones in my necklace."

Make sure to go and head over to Outer Cross' site and feel free to let me know what you think of their stuff! I personally think it's awesome ;D
