Taking a break in the midst of my trip to bring you some pics of things I've found here. We went into Stockholm and ohhh boy could I spend a long time shopping here. I love being in cities so much because there's more of a chance to see other spookily-inclined people. The girl with the electric blue dreads nearly got herself a compliment from me, but I'm too self-conscious about my American accented Swedish. I saw a few metal heads, a possible punk, and a girl who's style was a mix of visual kei and cybergoth.
The first place we went shopping was literally the coolest shoe store I have ever been to. (I live an alternative fashion deprived life.)

There were so many stompy boots... |
|
My dad nearly bought this hat. I'm working on convincing him. |
|
I need a pair of Dr. Martens so badly. |
|
That's a little much even for me XD |
The place was a Goth's shoe wonderland. *sigh* If only I had more money.
Here's the link to the shop. Unfortunately they don't have nearly as many on the website as in the actual store.
Next, we went to a place called Shock. It had your typical brand name alternative clothing lining the walls. (Except jeans were $100 instead of $30. Eek...) It never ceases to amaze me how much more expensive clothes are in Sweden. Or how much more expensive everything is. It's a bit of a culture shock. (Just like the fact you have to pay for public toilets)
However I do enough thrifting that I have no qualms about buying brand name stuff. I ended up getting a few things I had never seen before. The first one is a little vest from Too Fast.

Enhanced so you can actually see the pattern. Which is why the floor is yellow ^^ |
|
About $30 |
I've been looking for some sort of bag. it's really annoying to never have any place to put your phone or money when you go out. So when I saw this little cutie from Poizon Industries I snatched it up. It's small enough not to bother me and just plain adorable.
|
$20 I think? |
On the way out I spotted a display with a few "Luv Bunnies" by Dead Cute Plush Co. I freaked out and refused to let go of the red one. And so, I bought a dead bunny.
|
I couldn't leave it behind! It was $30 or so. |
The hair bows, necklace, and bracelet on it's shoulder all come off if I want to wear them ^^
We were due to have dinner at my uncle's apartment so we had to leave, but on the way we spotted this.
I couldn't resist. I've
never seen a vintage clothes store that big. I could have spent a day in there. We were pressed for time so I only got five minutes, but it was worth it and we'll definitely be going back.
Here's a bonus pic of me in a top hat.
|
If I only could have fit this in a suitcase...it was $35! |
Well, that's it for now. Until next time~
I love what you bought, especially that vest. Do you have family in Sweden?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I tagged you for the fear tag.
All of my family are up in Sweden (Both of my parents are Swedish) so we visit whenever we can. And thank you! :D
Deletethose shoes are beautiful *drools* - looks like you had a great time and bought some really cute stuff, especially the dead bunny ! (hey, at least you won't have to feed it lol) xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame they were so expensive! It's been really fun :)
DeleteThe only problem is I barely get to a computer and when I do get to one I'm bombarded by Blogger, Tumblr, and Facebook messages and notifications! XD On the other hand, how important is falling a little behind on the internet compared to real life experiences?
And the bunny is my absolute favorite thing! I had to buy it! (It came in a cute little coffin ^^)
