Black Craft Clothing

A month or so ago I was killing time online and came across a fairly new clothing company, Black Craft.

Click the image above to go to the site.

I started looking through their site and found several things I was interested in.  The one that I wanted the most (the 'Within a Dream' shirt) was not in stock in my size at the time, so I went for my second favorite, Spell Caster!

I don't have a photo of myself wearing the shirt, so here is the image from their site.

The shirt arrived quickly and I couldn't be more pleased with it!  The material of the shirt is absolutely wonderful.  It's so soft and comfortable.

A few weeks later, I was on the site again (yes, yes, I DO have an online shopping addiction) and discovered that the other shirt that I wanted had been restocked and they had my size!  I couldn't resist and had to make the Edgar Allan Poe 'Within a Dream' shirt mine!

Here is the shirt front and back!

This one was just as soft and well made as the other.  I'm seriously in love with this brand!

Angelo Parente leaves Motionless in White

Today the band announced that drummer and founding member, Angelo Parente, has left the band.  

Angelo posted this statement on his Tumblr:

"To my friends, family, and all the amazing Motionless In White fans, this is very hard to say, and I’m sure it will hit me harder soon, but I will no longer be in the band.This decision did not just all of sudden happen. After doing this since I was 17, the nonstop touring, and everything else that comes with the life of a musician, has finally caught up with me. It has affected me mentally and physically and it’s to a point where the best thing for the rest of the band and myself would be for me to call it quits.
Please know that the band and I are on good terms, best of friends and I love them all very much. No matter what, I would not give up what I have been through and experienced with the band. It has been the best years of my life. I got to travel the world with my best friends almost every day. I have met so many great people along the way and made many friends I will never forget. I will miss you all. Not seeing the guys in the band will be tough to get use to, but I wish them the best of luck.
Motionless In White has so much in store for you all, so please continue to support them to the fullest. I’m not sure what’s in store for my future, but right now I need to be home and breathe. Get myself together and figure it out. Please make sure to stay in touch. You know where to find me online and its a lot of fun sharing what I do with everyone throughout my life. Whether it’s my art, food, dog, clothing designs, etc., you guys give your opinion and I’m grateful to have that. I am truly sorry to all that I have let down. Thanks for the constant support you have given me over the years, I will never forget it."

As a fan of the band, I am sad to see him go.  However, I completely understand his reasons for leaving and wish him all the best with whatever he decides to do in the future.

A Terrible Loss

On Monday February 4, a 15 year old boy brought a gun to his Oklahoma High School, and took his own life in a bathroom stall.  His name of Triston Stephens.  Authorities say there is still no exact answer as to why he committed suicide, although they believe bullying may have been involved.

R.I.P Triston

If you are being bullied, don't be afraid to ask for help.  I know it's scary.  I know it's hard.  I've been there.   But there are people who care, who will listen, even though you may not feel like it.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

If you are thinking about suicide, please, please talk to someone, or call the suicide hotline for your area:

Don't give up on yourself.  You are beautiful, wonderful, and perfect the way you are.  You deserve to live.  This world would not be the same without you.

Stay Sick Clothing

If you are a fan of hardcore, metal music, or you've been reading this blog very long, you may know of the band Attila.  A while ago, their vocalist Chris Fronzak started his own clothing line Stay Sick.

I've always really liked the line and around new years eve, I finally ordered a crew neck shirt I had been ogling for quite some time. This past Friday, it arrived!

I love it!  It fits perfectly and is exactly what I was hoping it would be.  I was slightly disappointed with the extended amount of time that it took for it to be shipped (I ordered it on December 31st, and my order wasn't officially processed and ready to ship for 23 days) but it was definitely worth the wait.

If you would like to check out Stay Sick's other items you can do so here.

Outfit and Story Time!

I haven't done an outfit post in quite some time, and since I don't have any other ideas right now, I thought I do my first of 2013!

I wore this outfit somewhere around the first of November.  It was a pretty long while ago but I remember it because it's literally one of my favorite outfits.  It was also something I wore when I was coming out of a very stressful and difficult time.  I had been so physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted for such a long time, and I had finally decided to pull myself up by my boot straps and move forward.

I was finally feeling confident and happy again, (not because of this outfit, but because of the state of mind I was in when I wore it) and I have been ever since :)

Christmas Photos

This post is a little bit late, but oh well!

I spent the first half of Christmas Eve with relatives eating and having a grand ole' time.  We we got home that evening, I hung out with my mom and nana and took some photos.

After we took our "aren't we fancy" photos, I quickly changed into a band shirt and put my hair in pigtails!

We then took more photos and started opening presents!

Boogie looking hansom in his santa hat.

My new favorite shirt!

And the back of it!

We still do "santa" presents on Christmas morning as well!

Best key ring ever!  It flashes and makes a shutter sound!

I got some awesome gifts and spent my holiday with my favorite people in the world.  I had an amazing Christmas and hope everyone else did too!!

Peace, Love, Music<3

Happy New Year!

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Years Eve and I wish everyone a very happy new year!

Cause The Lights They Shine So Bright

Anyone else enjoy that Guns N' Roses reference? Good.

Over Thanksgiving break I started a project in my room that was originally meant to just be for the holiday season.  I bought four or five strands of white Christmas lights from Walmart and covered by entire room in them.  Now that I have them done, I think I will be leaving them up year round :)

This is how it turned out:

Hope everyone enjoyed this little photo spam of my room!
