and i'm hellbound

These are the UNIF Hellbounds, and they're FRICKIN CRAZY. I suppose you could say that's why I love them so much.

It's got a 6" heel and a 3" platform and ohmygoodnesssss. I don't own a pair, but luckily I've a friend with my sized feet and apparently $245 to blow on these shoes, not to say they weren't worth every penny.

These shoes make me feel like a giant, and it's awesome. And they were SO MUCH easier to walk in than I had expected.

They're sold out on Solestruck at the moment, but you can click the link and press the 'notify me' button and they'll tell you when it's back in stock if you want to purchase them.

Bunny (Grav3yardgirl) on Youtube did an unboxing/review on these a while back, too. If you'd like a more in--depth description on these shoes, just click that link! She talks about the Dolls Kill website too, which I really like. :] Also, side note, she says they're less expensive on Dolls Kill than any other site, I just checked and they're $269, so they're cheaper on Solestruck. Just so you know! :]

Page Ruth

Oh my gosh, this girl. I first saw her while looking through Dolls Kill. She's frickin' gorgeous and has amazing style. You could ask how I know, because she's a model and she wears whatever they tell her to, but on the site there's this section called "Page's Picks", and from the looks of it, (and though this photo doesn't necessarily portray it) she's into the more kawaii/pastel goth type of look that I absolutely lovelovelove. I recently started following her on Tumblr and I'm so glad I did.

Also, in this photo she's wearing the MYVL I C RT THRU U Night Tank. I didn't see the glasses on the site, but honestly, I did a quick Google search and found a bunch of them.

Death Crop

I've had my eyes on this crop top for a veeeeeery long time. It's a top by Nikki Lipstick, and it's oh-so-creatively titled the Death Crop. /sarcasm

In all seriousness, I would literally die for this top. It's utterly amazing. Call me a hipster, but I absolutely LOVE how utterly ironic it is. Death is typically considered an ugly, dark, morbid thing; yet here the word is, pictured with cute pastel flowers. It brings me joy, what else can I say? Also, a cross as the 'T' was a wonderful detail, but you know I'd like it better if it were inverted. Either way, this top is very aesthetically pleasing and I would like it on my body at this moment. :]

Inverted Kitties :3

This is the UNIF Inverted Kitties tee. It's adorable. 100% adorable. Here's part of the description:

"UNIF Inverted Kitties Tee has converted us to the religion of kitty. Freakin' adorable cat heads in the shape of an inverted crucifix on the front. These kitty faces are looking angelic. Oh, lordy. All hail the feline."

I can't stress how cute this thing is. I need it in my life. It's $78, but as it's still pretty new on Dolls Kill, I don't see it going on sale very soon. I didn't see it at all on the UNIF website either, which is interesting, but from the looks of it, there's really only a tiny portion of their products on the site.

Skull & Roses

This new Skull and Roses sweater by Wildfox Couture is absolutely perf. It's delicate but makes a huge statement at the same time. I LOOOVE IT.

Shadow Stud

Wow, I'm on a complete shoe kick on this blog right now. Anyway, these are another pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes! The Shadow Stud, to be exact. They're super rad. I absolutely love the effect the missing heel gives on the shoe! I watched an unboxing/review on these shoes a while back on YouTube by the wonderful Bunny Meyer (Grav3yardgirl). She makes a useful comparison to the Jeffrey Campbell Nightwalks and notes that the Shadow Stud is definitely easier to walk in. Anyway, I love the shape of the spikes on this shoe! Alsooo, I love that it's got that bootie cut. I really dig it. :3

Skulltini

I saw these a few days ago on Solestruck too, and might I say, they are absolutely adorable. They come in black/pewter (pictured), white/white, black/gold, red/gold, white/black and black/black.

I'm in high school, and I would undoubtedly wear the sh*t out of these at school. As far as the Hellseekers go, I'd wear them everywhere else. Actually, I'd probably wear those to school too, just not as often.
Call me crazy, but these Jeffrey Campbell Skulltini flats are pretty laid back for my style, but that's why I like them. I could slip them on with jeans and a t-shirt on my mega lazy days and they wouldn't look out of place in the slightest. And I like the fact that the skulls are so small. It's like forcing people to pay attention to your shoes, because they have to actually pay attention to them to see what they are. It's fantastic! :D

HELLSEEKERS!

Okay, so these babies were just released on Solestruck. I follow UNIF on Instagram and they posted these, and I just KNEW I had to write about them. omg fdkgfkdgjkfmfd

Anyway, if you couldn't already tell, these are the UNIF Hellseekers. It's a platform bootie, which I think is super rad, and as we all probably know, I'm utterly in love with anything spiky. As of this moment, it's only available in black/silver spikes, and honestly, even if they had a million other badass styles, these'd probably still be my go-to. I'm so in love with these.
