90's Kid

I've always loved Nirvana, so when I saw this tee in Cotton On I had to buy it :)
To keep with the 90's grunge theme, I wore it with my Black Milk blue tartan leggings.
These are my first pair of Black Milk tartans. I was going to buy the red ones; which are still on my wishlist, but these blue one's are my favourite, they popped up on eBay recently and I got them for around retail price which was really good. 
All my favourite shoes are huge platforms! The chunkiness of the Neo boots are very 90's too.
I bought the whole outfit together with black & blue accessories. I really like this look :)

Illuminati

Here is the other side of my special custom Black Milk Inside Out Dress' Illuminati!
I love the leggings in this print, but have not yet been able to track a pair down in my size. *edit: I now own the Illuminati Leggings too!!*
I thought the print would look awesome in a dress; so I chose it for the reverse side of my 200th piece!
I think this pattern will be a good one to dress up or down, I can match it with a lot of different colours and have it work together.
I paired it here with my Lita Spikes, one of my earlier pairs of Jeffrey Campbell's, I find I don't wear them often anymore, but the black/silver matches the tones of the dress pretty well :)

Barbie Bath

As if Black Milk wasn't awesome enough; they also offer special milestone rewards.
Once you buy 50 pieces from the store you get a $130 gift voucher; I used mine to buy my Nairobi Long Sleeve Dress.
At 100 pieces you can chose the Pop Art print in any style; I chose the Bodycon Dress, I also have the Leggings.
At 200 you get to create your own special custom piece!!
On my second BM anniversary I received my 200+ Club email. 
I had been thinking about what I would chose for a while; I decided on an inside out dress!
You can get anything printed as long as it isn't copyright. So many options! But I really wanted something that was still unique to Black Milk, seeing as other companies now do custom prints also.
Here is my styling of the first side; Barbiebath! My own creation based on the Black Milk Bath series I really love those leggings, and now own 3 out of four; Plumbath (purple), Bloodbath (red) Slimebath (green)! Still looking for the Snowbath (white). *edit: I found Snowbaths! Bath collection complete :) *
I asked for a pink version; I love pink! Obviously seeing as my blog is named Pink Glitter! If there was more of the Glitter Pink fabric and the custom piece could be designer material I probably would have gone with that!
I'm so happy with my special dress!! I came home to it in my mailbox, it was a big surprise! I wasn't expecting it so soon- I only got my email 3 weeks ago :)
Thankyou to everyone at Black Milk for making this happen! Special thanks to Cam for all your help xx

Pegasus

A blue and neutral outfit for today's post. Wearing my Black Milk Pegasus Swim for the first time since I bought it a few months back. 
Another piece I never gave much thought to when it was in-store, but I've been collecting all the Animal Swim's lately. I really like the background image behind the Pegasus; it reminds me of Alphonse Mucha pieces.
I paired the swim with another Black Milk piece; one of my many velvet bodycon skirts- this time in a light blue to match the background of the swim.
I really like how these pieces look paired with one of my favourite pairs of Jeffrey Campbell's; the Stunning. These neutral toned shoes match so much! The T-strap design is always a winner for me :)

Dead Cat

Double Black Milk outfit featuring the Lace Shrug and an unexpected love; Dead Cat Leggings.
I bought these leggings in the last museum release; when they were in store I didn't give them much thought, there was so much else I wanted at the time. 
Looking through the Museum items they caught my eye, reminding me a little of the Abstraction print which I am still looking for. 
I decided to buy the Dead Cat's- named because the pattern features Cat Skeletons all over- and I'm glad I did! I really love them, they look just like patterned leggings until you get up close to see the detail.
I paired them with all black, including another BM purchase; the Lace Shrug, which I decided against keeping, they were just so huge!

Go Go

I love the Burned Velvet fabric; when I saw this dress sneaked in a podcast over a year ago now it was an instant want!
Finally it was released as part of Black Milk's Game Of Thrones Collection.
As soon as it was released I snapped it up. I probably could have sized down for this one I think, but it still fits quite well. 
I paired it with my Opening Ceremony heels and some giant statement earrings.

Sick Of Skaters? Never

A couple of posts ago I shared my styling of the Sapphire side of my latest Inside Out Dress, now here is the reverse side; Sick Of Men.
I always loved the Sick Of Men print, so I had to have this! I really like how the print is smaller on this dress too, not as in-your-face as my bodycon and skirt were.
I paired the dress with my SOM Lita boots- how could I not?

Golden Pin Up

Another of my sample Black Milk pieces; probably my favourite one, and also my newest.
I bought this Pin Up dress from another Sharkie (who I've also bought a few others from before).
It's the same cut as the original Pin Up Dress, but the layer under the lace is gold instead of the regular black. It's so pretty and shimmery in real life :)
I paired the dress with all black & gold accessories, including my forgotten Hermes cuff I found stashed at the back of my jewellery draw!

Crystal Blue

Second Inside Out Dress. Sapphire vs Sick Of Men. I love both sides of the dress!
Here's my styling of the Sapphire side; keeping it simple with blue accessories, the dress is a statement itself.
I really love these Jeffrey Campbell heels, they are so pretty and shiny up close. The ankle strap is removable; I think I prefer them without it.
My special 200th Custom piece is on the way; also an inside out dress! Can't wait to share it!!

Musk Mermaid

Black Milk sample pieces! So much unreleased awesomeness!
I have a few unique sample pieces that I really love; including this Mermaid Musk Skater.
I think this one is eventually going to be released; I hope so cause it's such a pretty dress.
It's much more pink in real life, but hard to photograph, it's one of those that changes colours under different lights.
I paired it with pink accessories of different shades; including my Senso lace up heels, I haven't worn these for quite a while, I forgot how good they are :)

Battlesuit

Here's my Purple Battlesuit outfit. I really wanted the Red one, but I missed out, so I bought this one as a replacement.
I do like it, but I'm hoping to eventually track one down in the red ;)
I paired it with all black- lace skirt to girly up the PVC look a bit, and my Hellbounds.
I would love this with pink panels! Maybe one day..

Wonder Gown

I recently scored this one-off Black Milk piece on eBay. Another version of the Villainess/Kapow dresses from the Batman Collection; maybe part of the second DC collection? Or perhaps one they decided against? Either way I'm really happy I won the auction as I loved all the other dresses from the collection!
It's a lighter shade of red than my Kapow and of course floor length, I have plans to wear this to an upcoming wedding :)

Snow Fox

I love the moment when I finally acquire a dream piece!
I recently found my Snow Fox Swim! And for once it was actually in my size :)
I love it even more than I thought I would, I was unsure if wearing it as a bodysuit would cut off to much of the Fox, but as long as the bottom isn't high waisted it works fine.
I paired it with some berry coloured accessories; including my newest handbag! A Hermes Constance I recently found in a local vintage store! Major score :)

Popsicle Power

Black Popsicle Swim! Finally :)
This was my original dream piece, back when I first started buying Black Milk 2 years ago! I fell in love as soon as I saw it, but back then it was super rare and impossible to find.
Then I saw a peak of both the black & white versions at a photo shoot! I was so excited I would finally be able to get it!!
I got the white one when it was first released, and have been waiting not-so-patiently for what must be months for the black version. Finally it was announced as part of the Chinese New Year release; everyone else seemed to be upset about the pieces not being 'culturally appropriate' but all I could think was YAY POPSICLES!!!
So here it is! I paired it with my Burnt Velvet Skirt and some bright blue accessories. I love all the cute little faces and expressions on each Popsicle.

Black Milk x Solestruck

Black Milk's latest shoe collection arrives Wednesday on Solestruck.
The collection features 3 styles- The Jovy-Anne, The Lana and The Bonnie. The shoes take their names from Black Milk Customer Service Mega Hotties. 
All 3 are ankle boot styles in signature Black Milk designs- Burnt Velvet, Mermaid, Wallpaper, Tartan and the Blackmilk print.
I'm really loving the Jovy-Anne in the Burnt Velvet. I also like the Tartan Lana; but I already have tartan Tardy Boots which I hardly wear.
Be sure to check for the Collab on Solestruck Wednesday!

2 Years On

Today marks 2 years since I made my first ever Black Milk purchase.
It was the Rainbow Galaxy Skirt; I've always loved rainbow prints, so when I first discovered Black Milk I fell in love!
I made my order, and waited (not so)patiently for what seemed like forever; 8 days later my shiny black package arrived and the obsession began there.
2 years on and my current collection stands at over 300 pieces. 
I've managed to find lots of my dream pieces, some harder to find than others. I've scored some bargains and paid a small fortune for others.
I'm currently planning my custom 200-store-piece! I can't wait to share it here :)
But back to the outfit; this is my Villainess Dress. I love it! Something different from typical Black Milk pieces, I'm loving the sophisticated edge of some of the newer pieces.
