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

HEY MICKEY YOU SO FINE.

Rick Owens sweater, tank top & x-ray Mickey printed silk skirt courtesy of Dimepiece, Jeffrey Campbell platform sandals, Skingraft leather talon bag, Käärme "Suspendo" pendant (available soon), amethyst ring courtesy of Drawn & Quartered, other sterling rings, cheap-o shades.





1) These sandals look cool as hell, but are IMPOSSIBLE to walk in. Trust: I've tried. Oh well.

2) Keeping with the Mickey Mouse silhouette theme that seems to be infiltrating my wardrobe like most other hipster ho-bags not totally unlike myself, I picked this amazing silk miniskirt (generously sent to me by the amazing Dimepiece Designs to pair with the impractical JC sandals. The skirt will get a lot of wear (like the Rick Owens sweater, which was one of the best $100 I've ever spent); the JCs not so much. Expect a lot of other fun Dimepieces making their appearances on here in the remote future. I wore their patchwork denim vest to the zoo a few days ago. The gorillas enthusiastically approved.

3) My hair: ridiculous. Still not cutting it.

That's all for now, folks!

Suspendo (aka the hanged man)

I've been absolutely swamped in every way recently, but I promise I will give myself a kick in the ass and start being a proper blogger. Tomorrow I'll be doing a feature post on the incredible new Adelina Mictlan collection. My husband has been rocking the rose gold ram skull pendant nonstop, and I am waiting on a really fucking cool slave bracelet that, true to its name, will probably never leave my hand. Gentlemen, I know you're scrambling to buy your lady the perfect xmas gift ... rest assured, she will not snub her nose at these:

me wearing my 2-finger rose gold DOOM ring. So many people compliment me on this ring; it's gotten to the point that when I wear it out, I put a bunch of Ms. Mictlan's business cards in my bag before I leave the house. They're usually all gone by the time I get home, haha.

Not only are these pieces (and a boatload of others on the A. Mictlan web shop) ready to ship (most Adelina Mictlan pieces have a 3+ week wait, as they are made to order), but they're really affordable as well, especially for the quality of Ms. Mictlan's work. And just look at them. Who wouldn't want to wear this stuff on the regs?

Hope the holidays aren't kicking your asses too hard ,,, don't forget to kick back, drink a pumpkin latte (I recommend 7-11's rendition of the beverage) and just relax. I hate seeing people miserable around the holidays because they are under a titanic amount of stress. It's not worth it! &hearts

WHITE KNUCKLE FEVER.

I know it's been a hot minute. All work and no play is making Jack a dull boy. However, I have been receiving a bunch of killer winter apparel lately (and designing a bunch of it), so expect a kick in the ass in posting frequency. This was my Thanksgiving get-up. The JC boots just arrived several days ago. I owned the real-deal Chloe version a couple years ago in red with the higher shaft, but I always wanted the shorter version in a different color (that elusive dark green was my number one choice, but those are hard as shit to come by). I sold my Chloes about a year ago (whoever you are, I hope you're enjoying them), and then I saw JC had designed a very decent-looking knockoff in a cornucopia of different colors. I was in the market for a pair of white Doc Martens with black soles, but for some reason the majority of flats -- with a few exceptions -- have been killing my feet lately. I think I'm so used to wearing heels with massive platforms that most flats now feel awkward. So, when I saw the Tardys in white on Solestruck, I decided to invite a pair to join my humble little shoe family. Honestly, there are very few differences between these and the Chloe version ... one that comes to mind is that the soles on the Campbells are made of a harder rubber than the Chloes. Other than that, they're equally as comfortable and the leather is nice and supple. After much hard wearing on a long U.S. tour with my husband's band, the right sole on my red Chloes started to come unglued from the bottom of the shoe -- I'll have to workhorse the JCs, and then I can assess which have better craftsmanship. But honestly, unless you're hung up on labels, the Tardy is a totally suitable knockoff. I feel like JC knockoffs are black or white: really bad, or really good. These fall into the latter category. If you're thinking about grabbing a pair, they're true to size ... I can't find them on Solestruck right now, but I can't imagine they're sold out. If you're between sizes, they can use a gel insole anyway, so round it off by sizing 1/2 up.





This coat is about ten years old and I still love it. I wore it all throughout high school and everyone thought it was hot shit, because it is. I just found out through Bleach Black that Gareth Pugh made the scythe ring again this year, but the new version has a very pretty gold-ish finish as opposed to the gunmetal on mine. However, it is the same exact ring, down to the little leather handle detail and everything. If they're not gone already, I recommend picking one up as a badass stocking stuffer ... it's a great piece through and through. Mine always finds itself paired with my gorgeous Blood Milk claw pendant and/or one of my many oxidized L.S.D. necklaces; both designers offer a medley of amazing potential x-mas gifts for a chick with slightly unorthodox taste in accessories (hint-hint, gentlemen).




My Givenchy Pandora bag is nearly a year old and gets better with age. This blog is nearly two years old and probably gets crappier with age, but I still enjoy doing my thing. My marriage reached its two-year milestone yesterday, on the 25th. Our son has a cold (his first), so Bobby & I just stayed home, talked, watched movies, and ate leftovers in bed. That is also what we did the day we got married (sans the Thanksgiving leftovers). I will be sappy here and let you readers know that I fall in love again every day. I fall in love every hour, every waking moment. Every time I draw a breath, I love Bobby more when I exhale. One of the only things I know is true in this life is that I will feel that way when I exhale for the last time. Wherever my soul goes, my love for Bobby will be there with it, transcending space and time. I hope all of you who are married feel the same, because there is only one person for whom your heart beats. At least, mine does.

PENTANGLED.

This crazy incredible hunk of solid sterling evil bling is now available to purchase through Käärme for $340. And I should note that there are only 2 remaining, not including my own. Which you would have to pry from my cold, lifeless fingers. Note my my sick BÖC t-shirt I got at Muskelrock.

Also, we now have a blog. Peace! &hearts

I recently dyed my hair platinum porn star blonde. You like? The shirt I'm wearing is one of my own, and it will be available for sale on our webshop along with the rest of our first collection tomorrow. I love this hooded jacket by Sweden-based CTRL. The hood can zip inside the collar, but I prefer to keep it out. I have a lot of other CTRL stuff I haven't worn here yet ... they have great shit on their site, so I would suggest checking them out.
