fragmented, detached, disjointed




So I've been occasionally browsing through Ebay seller runnickyrun whenever I remember them, and I've collected a few items that I think are pretty nifty that I wanted to share. They're Taiwan based and seem to sell mostly EGL, Lolita, and somewhat cosplay-oriented clothing and accessories. They have a consistently high rating on Ebay so I think it's safe to say their stuff probably isn't total crap qualitywise.


Shredded sweater (its around $44 I believe. all their items are fairly inexpensive)

Destroyed double-layer leggings (my boyfriend peeked at these photos when I was uploading them and said "those are sexy." I may really have to get them now :])

Green leopard tights
Lately I've been getting back into crazy hair colors (I've been doing SFX Blood Red over my brown for a while, but just last week bleached my hair and did SFX Burgundy Wine since I was getting tired of the same 'ol thing.) especially dark greens like Manic Panic's Enchanted Forest, which these tights remind me of:

I'm not the biggest fan of MP's formula but I do dig the color.

Crazy dangly ear chain thingy. I like it.

I also like these crazy giant cross earrings.

The perfect knockoff Vivienne Westwood armor ring. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent searching the internets for an armor ring only to find those cheesy "claw" gothic style ones like this:

Picks for today:
Etsy, Ebay, and 80's Purple
Apologies for the slowdown in posting, school started up again for me so that+working extra+discovering the awesomeness that is Tumblr has distracted me from this. I have managed to dig up a few goodies worth sharing though.

Aubrey Beardsley men's t-shirt (this would look rad bought in a large size and diy shredded. also a well-dressed fella would look pretty hot in one of these. i don't understand why more people don't use Beardsley's art on clothing...)
@ vortextradingcompany


Sweet leather+feather cuff (the pictures aren't the best, but you get the point. the inlays are some kind of silver metallic snakeskin, and the center inlay is a greenish-black shagreen.)

Garnet ring
both @ jungletribe

Virgin Mary pitcher (i think this is totally neat..)
@ brezaun

Ray leather sleeve blazer

Monrow dye stripe tank

Obey meltdown ring

all @ 80's Purple

Winklepickers AKA Pickers AKA Pikes AKA the newest subject of my shoe lust:











Vegan pickers by Ethical Wares, a Wales based cruelty-free accessory and footwear shop.


Badass men's 60's style winklepickers. @ Atom Retro

"Dawn" pickers from Pennangalan

The bummer about it though is that it's near impossible to find winklepickers outside of the U.K. The style is still quite underground in comparison to creepers, which have gained a lot of mainstream popularity in the last couple of years (oh the mysteries of fashion trends..they never cease to surprise). It seems that most of the pairs I looked at sell for under $100, but that calculation is without shipping charges.

mighty in sorrow



Today's picks from the land of Etsy:



Ok, these boots are insanely cool. They're kind of making me want to chop the back of my heel off to squeeze into them, like the one sister does in the original Cinderella tale. Just look at that studding! Perfectly sized (I'm not a fan of giant rounded studs, I think they look dumb), and perfectly burnished. The heel has this cool angled shape to it as well. Get 'em @ ssudionyc

Cute re-worked Steve Madden boots
@ meredithwaterstraat

80's avant garde booties (these look a LOT like a pair of Irregular Choice booties from a couple years ago)
@ jamesrowlandshop


Black leather studded boots w/cutout detail (especially digging those pointy tips)
@ 20twentyvintage

The perfect little pair of distressed harness boots. So good.
@ 20twentyvintage

Riya garment weight spats (from badass Etsy designer Antiseptic Fashion. They do some rad corset and harness work. Definitely check 'em out.)
@ antisepticfashion


Mutated commander bag
&
Black druzy ring
From Etsy seller Jungle Tribe. I love this shop, its run by two twin brothers who make awesome apocalyptic/tribal leathergoods and jewelry.
@ jungletribe

Vintage silver ring with purple crystal
@ lanter

Portable shrine with scapular and religious medals (I think this thing is totally neat. If I had money to just toss around buying rad little vintage knicknacks all the time I would snatch this up right quick.)
