Random Finds: Etsy Finds#3

Hey and a ding-bang-boo!

Just recently I found this awesome store on Etsy that was just too rock-ing-li-cious. I have to share. (excuse my girly-ness).

I always loved the idea of putting buttons of things you liked (i.e bands, funny sayings, icons) on bags, clothing, bookbags, maybe even shoes. Thus, my constant search of finding and buying buttons (along with patches) on Etsy, Amazon, and other online stores.

And thus, the awesome find on an Etsy store called Necromance Theatre. Owned by a college student who goes by the Etsy username of "Princess", Necromance Theatre holds listings of pins, brooches, and necklaces with images of alternative bands and artists edited in photoshop.

The pins are a bit overpriced, what with one being $3 (plus the shipping). However, when purchasing more than one item, shipping is free.

As for the necklaces, they are pretty darn awesome since the pendants are shaped like guitar picks annnnnd they can be used by men and women. I definitelye, absolutely, and outrageously (MAHA!) recommend checking out her store if you are looking to get a $10 or less accessory for the bands you love. After all, there is nothing wrong with expressing your fandom.

Random Video Finds: Kat Von D Shares Her Wares


Hey folks, 
Hope all is well! 
I wanted to share with you this video I found of Kat Von D. 

Recently, I have been looking at some of the articles posted in Etsy's blog and found an article posted about Kate Von D. You know me: I had to check it out! So I read on, and apparently Kate Von D shops a lot in Etsy. And not only that! About three months ago, she has been posting videos all about her closet in her youtube channel.

I found myself a bit shocked because most celebrities now usually shop at some high priced shop or even get their stuff custom made. And here was Kate Von D talking about buying stuff from Etsy sellers. It goes to show that you don't need to buy expensive clothing to rock out your style. If it helps you when you're suddenly on a budget for an indeterminate time: shop on clearance. Look for a sale on Etsy even. Not all items have expensive shipping and handling.

On another note: I am still thinking: why have I not known about Kat Von D's video series sooner! Gosh! *head swivels to the other way* But point: I found it and here I am sharing it with you (along with some helpful advice).

Forever 21 is back!

Can't believe summer is almost over and already I see leaves on the ground at certain NYC areas. Kid you not. I actually look forward to the fall because of all the awesome crazy outfits people put together. I know this sounds ultra fashionista: but yes I definitely dig layer coordination.

Just recently I have been preparing myself for the fall by shopping new clothes. Working and going to school needs some gear (*gets all serious*)........

OK, OK I really like getting new clothes for school and such. Any whoo, I found myself both at Rainbows and Forever 21 and I found myself more dazzled by the Forever 21 at Union Square (Manhattan, NY for those who are not in the NYC area).

It was a throwback circa 2011 with the random lace I found here and there. And I am not going to lie to you I did buy a few things from there. I got a plain black comfortable skirt for $9.80 and a bunch of other stuff that will be posted on Rockinglicious tumblr. The skirt you see here above was actually one of the items I really wanted to buy along with the shirt you see on your left. I like to have the best of both worlds even if it means going in the guys' section. But both were not on my budget so I had to choose. There are some awesome finds there for 10 bucks or less for the gals. So don't hesitate to check it out, you might just find something along your budget and within your style. As for the guys, the items were a bit too expensive. Next season they should widen the section more.
