Hi guys!!
I'm back after a week of MIA-ing. This week's been so hectic I haven't did my makeup tutorial, but I'll have it up by Monday latest. Aiming for Sunday evening!
I hope you guys enjoyed OOTD #1 and Makeup Tutorial #1. I apologize that the first makeup tutorial wasn't done on both eyes, my left eye was giving me problems so I didn't want to touch it...thank goodness that the next few tutorials won't require it :)
So here's OOTD #2, a look that I used for punk rock styling for a photoshoot at Pearl Centre. :) Not sure if you heard the news about the murder, I'm kind of sad because it's really a great place for photoshoots but I'm so scared to go there now. Haha!
So here's OOTD #2! Interested to know how I match my clothes and where I get them? Read on!

Union Shirring Long Tee: SUPER LOVERS
Ripped Shorts: SUPER LOVERS
Choker & Necklace: glavil by tutuHA
Hair Accessories: glavil by tutuHA / creepsville666
Rings: SUPER LOVERS / LM.C / Chrome Hearts / Unbranded

To be very honest I didn't decide on my outfit till the day of the photoshoot itself HAHA. This photoshoot was a few weeks after I came back from my Japan trip in March 2014, so I really wanted to use the clothes that I had gotten during the trip for this photoshoot.
If you guys know me well you'll probably realize that although I sport a lot of different styles my closet consists of mainly: black, black, more black. I've been trying to change this but I end up getting white instead LOL /neverchange

SUPER LOVERS is one of my favourite brands (along with LISTEN FLAVOR and glavil by tutuHA) plus I have a friend who was working at the Laforet Harajuku branch (she quit in July), so even if I didn't buy anything I wanted to visit her once in March.
But let's be honest why would I not buy anything? xD Although the weather is super hot in Singapore I'm more sensitive to cold than others (not to mention the power ranger aircons in my school) so the Long Tee was really tempting for me, plus it was on sale.
What I really like about the Long Tee is that even though it has a girly cut the overall feel that you get after wearing that is still slightly tomboy-ish. Plus I have a thing for nice designed clothes with thumbholes! It makes it easier for me especially since my arms can be kinda short in some clothings, including this.
Unfortunately I'm not able to give you guys a cheaper alternative for this item :( However if you're interested in purchasing this you can always grab yours at CDJapan while stocks last! :)

I bought the ripped shorts along with it as well, although the cutting was a tad too big for me. (It doesn't slip off or anything though)
(no thanks to extremely mabushii lights for destroying photo quality)
I have the ripped jeans version of this, and I just love how Super Lovers adds studs to the sides of the ripped jeans, plus the metal hook under the belt area for easy wearing of chains or other accessories.
Unfortunately this is already out of stock :( However you can easily DIY an inspired version with a pair of black ripped shorts and studs from Taobao (or you could buy them locally at Chinatown or *scape!).

When choosing accessories for punk rock styling literally almost anything metallic goes. Chains, studs, spikes and crosses are your best friends in punk rock fashion. Go for silver accented accessories instead of gold, gold tends to have a more sophisticated feel, while silver being more grunge.
This choker and cross necklace from glavil by tutuHA are literally my babies I don't understand why I didn't buy them last year. HAHA. I wear them so often I can't even remember the number of times I've worn them!
What I really love about these 2 accessories, especially the cross necklace is the thickness of the chains. Usually for necklaces you wouldn't get these kind of chains with it but this, plus the size of the cross itself makes it an awesome statement piece. The length of the chains for the choker also automatically makes it look larger overall, and it's all about being loud with metals in punk rock.
Like with the SUPER LOVERS items I don't have a cheaper alternative for everyone :( However if you would like to purchase it you can go through this page on Facebook called Gorgeous Barbie. :) The handcuff choker has 2 different colours while the cross necklace comes in a variety of designs. Do check out! (Warning: Expensive as heck ;w;)

Besides the choker and necklace my devil horn headband is also a piece of tutuHA! Though I think this is also already out of stock. I don't usually sport headbands because I hate my hair getting flattened but it felt fitting for the occasion. The thing that makes it different from other devil horn headbands is that the horns itself are actually cushioned, so it gives a more full effect compared to the wired 2D ones (plus it's squishy)!
The skeleton hands are from creepsville666. I won't talk more about it, you can easily get this on Taobao at almost any Harajuku style accessories shop!

I don't have a proper photo of my accessories. As you can see from the photo though, my studs bracelet is spiked as well but that's broken now so...replacement.
I collect my accessories for punk rock style from everywhere and anywhere. The metallic ring that you see in the photos is actually a Super Junior Yesung fan ring from Comics Connection LOL
As mentioned earlier, go for accessories with more silver accents. I wanted to add a bit more colour to my coordinate, so I threw in a spiked rose bracelet as well. That thing can kill, by the way.
I get my accessories from *scape, Taobao, Closet Child (a secondhand shop in Japan), SUPER LOVERS and at any accessory store in Singapore. Give them a try, you'll never know what you'll find!
Maybe one of the more unique items out of these accessories is the midi ring (it's together with the Chrome Hearts ring). It's actually band merchandise from the Visual Kei band LM.C. They have super cool merchandise (I'll probably do a post about band merchandise I own one of these days) and this midi ring, along with another gold accented one was 600yen in total. (That's less than $10, about $8) so I was really excited when I saw them selling this at the live. HAHAHA
I've actually linked 2 of my favourite accessories stores on Taobao in my previous OOTD post, but in case you missed out here's the links again! The spiked rose bracelet is from the first link.

I've probably never talked about this before, but I have an obsession with spikes and garters. Although I don't wear them often (/shoots self) I love them so much!
These 2 are actually the first that I bought, I have tons more now. Because I had a stockings fever once (I still do, but I'm so scared of ripping them I don't wear them much anymore. Bummer.) I didn't really go for those with clips, plus the knee garter was really interesting to me.
Because for the photoshoot I decided on the vertically lined black stockings it was a miracle that the spikes on the garter alined exactly with the stockings. I really liked the overall feel of them together, made me feel more dangerous. Don't go around knee-ing people with these on!
Here's some shops that I frequent to buy these lovelies.

Shoes, stockings, bag? Explore your closet! Jeffrey Campbells are really expensive so unless you have the money to afford one. These are the coltranes, you can probably find cheaper alternatives on Carousell if you search jeffrey campbell coltrane. Harajuku model Seto Ayumi's favourites. I don't really have a bag to recommend for this look so....(ahahahaha)
It's 4AM now so I shall head to bed. And wake up 2 hours later..../cries
Hope you enjoyed reading this, good night and have a good night to everyone! (when this post is uploaded) Second makeup tutorial in relation to this look will be up on latest Monday evening.
Seeya~!
♥~Yumi.
