TV PARTY.







Satanic TV tee c/o Killer Condo, Rick Owens boots, DIY faux leather shorts, Käärme "Hellhammer" studded bag, denim vest c/o Dimepiece, Charles Anastase x Karen Walker shades, Chris Habana cage ring, Gareth Pugh scythe ring, hoop earrings c/o Union Studio Metala.





Much thanks to Killer Condo for sending me a bunch of awesome tees -- you can expect KC designs to be making frequent appearances on this blog. I love their twisted takes on 90s pop culture imagery, the quality of the prints on buttery soft combed cotton, and best of all: their vverrry reasonable prices. Don't say I didn't warn you before visiting their webshop, because you'll probably fall in love with everything.




One of the lovely ladies over at Dimepiece sent me a goodie parcel, and this patched-up, destroyed denim vest was one of many incredible pieces in that package (I added the Kaarme "Discharge logo" patch). I thought it suited the KC tee quite nicely. Much, much thanks again to my girl Ashley!



We over at Käärme have been working hard to bring you our third collection, plus a collaborative effort with M.A.V and capsule collections with a couple of designers whose names I will keep secret for now. However, we are now taking pre-orders for 15 Hellhammer bags we've decided to produce before the Hellhammer is gone for good and replaced with another bag. You can place your Hellhammer pre-orders at our webshop (limit 2 per customer).

More in the *~remote future~* &hearts

PUNX IS STILL HIPPIES.







Death/Traitors tank top, Levi's cutoffs, Demonia suede creepers, 2-tone bag c/o VOW, vintage leopard print blouse c/o Factory Handbook. Turquoise necklace, turquoise bracelet, & triple stack ring c/o Vanessa Mooney. Jaw bone necklace c/o Iconoclast; vintage sterling rings, L.S.D. tooth ring, & Bless leather bracelet (right hand), talon earring c/o Blood Milk.




Just discovered Death/Traitors -- awesome shit. It reminds me of listening to Gauze in my bedroom 10 years ago, in the summer, with no a/c. And wearing some white creepers that I splattered with red paint to look like blood. I stupidly sold those creepers a long time ago. These suede Demonias have been my staple kicks for the duration of the summer. I thought my new duo-tone VOW tote bag was sufficiently matchy-matchy. VOW haven't made this red/black shopper available online yet, but I'm told they'll be on there soon alongside the sleek all black and all red versions. Expect to see both labels' sick streetwear styled on here with great freak-uency.




I've received a lot of jewelry from a lot of incredible designers in the past several months, but raising a little boy who is just entering his terrible (still adorable, but emphasis on terrible) twos leaves nil room for ultra cool, yet cumbersome statement pieces. Imagine my relief when I opened a package c/o Vanessa Mooney last week, which was stuffed with the designers' practical, yet stand-out creations. Mooney manages to offer pieces that are both on-trend, timeless, and no-matter-what wearable -- something that is almost impossible to find in the contemporary accessories market. Beyond the lovely craftsmanship made evident by pain-staking detail, down to etching on the band of a sterling ring or beadwork on a striking turqoiuse and brass cuff, you'll find that every piece in VM's newest collection is within a totally reasonable price bracket. The bracelet I'm wearing in these photos is now on my husband's wrist, and he normally snubs anything that is not solid sterling (he loves it so much that if I ever want it back, I'll have to take it when he's sound asleep). Bravo, Ms. Mooney.



More soon! x

PLAIN DIRTY.







THOR t-shirt (?), UNIF skirt & boots, Givenchy bag, Ann Sofie-Back shades, BDG cashmere beanie. Junk: drippy "Chanel" pendant, snake pendant (forget the designer - it's from Nordstrom), mom Liebling's vintage turquoise/sterling ring & cuff, custom sterling cuff, bone ring c/o Osteal (formerly Our Decay).





I'm on a mad roll with posting, yeah? Actually, these were taken a couple months ago, but still .. A for effort! I love this skirt and can't get enough of my Hellbound boots (dying for the pink ones). UNIF never fails. I'm even wearing a hoop in my nose to further authenticate the whole 1992 vibe (again, A for effort ... or A for asshole, whichever one works for you). The drippy CC pendant is so goofy and I wear it all the time. Faux Chanel shit is my jam, just like everyone else right now.




Enjoy your Saturday nights! Until next time ... &hearts

SNAKE IN THE GRASS.






Käärme Acid Bath vest & FDNG/D-Beat tee, Actual Pain leggings, Rick Owens boots, Supreme tote bag, vintage Chanel headscarf, I.D. nameplate necklace c/o Drawn & Quartered, grenade pendant (?), cabochon lightening bolt ring c/o L.S.D. skull ring c/o Alberto Juan, all other rings vintage or custom sterling.





The purple version of the Acid Bath vest has been sold out for a while now, but we still have a couple in the "gold" colorway I am wearing here. They'll be up on the Käärme webstore this weekend, but if you would like to order yours before they disappear, shoot us an email.





I was so excited when I saw these snakeskin print nylon totes hit the Supreme webshop, so I had to grab one in this killer green color before they vanished. If they're not sold out already I totally recommend this bag. If you don't care for green, it's also available in blue or gray, and comes with a neat little clip-on change bag thing. It is unlined nylon but surprisingly sturdy nonetheless -- it performed well as both my purse AND diaper bag yesterday when we took a trip to Maryland to visit my in-laws.



We at Käärme are super excited to announce our upcoming collaboration with L.A.-based M.A.V. M.A.V.'s demented 80s Nardcore vibe (think: RKL, JFA, Ill Repute) will be colliding in a violently awesome way with Käärme Concepts to bring you a special breed of totally offensive, corrupt streetwear in the very near future. Keep checking back here for updates on M.A.V. x Käärme. Check out Weezy in his own M.A.V. tee:



I spot an Aus-Rotten patch on that vest, which fucking rules!

I've taken a slew of outfit photos in the past few days, so I am going to go out on a limb and promise more frequent posting ... one thing I can promise for sure is a sweet giveaway coming up this weekend. Stay tuned! xo
