Moving Sale

Black Milk had a sale. And the sale items will disappear for good once sold out. Oh god why.

I had expected everything to sell out before I got to it, but I ninja-ed too well and got everything I had aimed for (it was all in my basket before the site went down, so it was a straight checkout).

I decided to try on the US site first as I wasn't sure all the items would be in stock on the other site.


I'd been eyeing the Galaxy Purple Catsuit 2.0 since forever and I felt like the only Sharkie without it, so it had to be done. I chanced the Bootlet Net Leggings as I figured they'd look cool under just about everything. I wish I had the confidence to wear them as leggings, though! And since I love tartan, a Tartan Yellow Nana Suit Top. Yellow isn't great on me, but I want ALL the tartans!

And then to worldwide...



Next on my hitlist was the Chiffon Kimono 2.0 and Burned Velvet Skater Skirt, which are both pieces I'd been eyeing since I discovered the brand. Since I loved this fabric and cut separately before, I panicked and grabbed the Burned Diamond High Neck Crop. Despite never wearing my chainmail pieces that I owned, the Chainmail Shorties were so cheap and I'm more likely to wear that cut.


The skirt took a bit of stretching, I must say. It was literally the size of my thigh to begin with! Had a good giggle.


Absolutely loving these two items. The velvet feels weird around my neck though! Hoping it doesn't stretch out as it's already a tad loose at the bottom.


The next day I went back for the Matte Jade Cheerleader Skirt as, despite my doubts about the cut, I had wanted it since release and love the colour. Wish I'd gotten the matching bummers and crop, but it's too late now! I also got a non-sale basic as I need more comfy shirts to wear with leggings, and I figured that the Twist Back Top 2.0 would be perfect.


They don't go together, but whatever. The skirt is too damn big which is bloody annoying! The weight will pull it down, so I'll have to tuck shirts into it to hopefully keep it up.


A couple days later I went back to the US site for a Tartan Red Touchdown as I'd been wanting to try one of these for a while and figured I'd be more likely to wear this than the pastel one (after much deliberation...the decision was quite difficult!).


I wasn't sure about it when I tried it on, but I wore it again today and I love it now! Wish I'd bought more of them in the sale as they're just too expensive full price. Definitely need to hunt down a mesh one second hand...


Here's a mishmash of a few more things worn. I'm not sure when I'll ever get to wear the kimono, I only wanted it for the gala but it didn't arrive in time! The bv skirt isn't the most flattering as there's quite a lot of lumpy fabric, but it's still super fabulous.

Just gutted I can't try on the leggings or catty until my tattoo heals! And also gutted that they took so long to arrive and I got hit with customs on every damn thing.

BM, Aliexpress, & Ebay Mini-Hauls

My Black Milk addiction continues!


I finally caught a couple restocks! I got the Wet Look Long Sleeve Crop, the Evil Cheerleader Lace Dress 2.0 that I'd been considering for ages (decided it's worth the price as I can wear it over anything!), and decided on the Tartan Red Toasties over the regular leggings (for now). I'm actually really impressed with the toasties and will definitely be buying more when ammo happens!


I ordered these two skirts on aliexpress from the seller zhou jack on July 12th as they were only £5.87 each. I kinda wanted the lavender one too, but figured I'd try these first as I can wear them with more. They're REALLY short (even my butt shows a little), but fit pretty comfortably and the straps are surprisingly soft!


From Ebay, I finally found an adorable sheer dress from Motel for £19. However, despite supposedly being a size 10, it's MILES too small. I could barely get it on without wearing a bra =/ and I'm a small 10. I can't even send it back as it made susupicious ripping noises when I tried to escape from it! It really sucks as it looks adorable. If only it were like 2 sizes bigger, grr.


But! I finally got my hands on some JC Litas! They're quite grubby and missing a few spikes, but I'm just happy to finally own some. These were only £35 too! They're a teeny bit big though. I don't even know what size they are as they're marked 7M, but they seem to be around a UK4.5.

So obviously I am continuing to fail at not shopping, but I am actually going to take back some things I bought recently. Hopefully I'll get some time to sort my things out at home soon too, but I doubt I'll get to as I seem to be either busy or exhauasted all the time!

More Black Milk Skaters!

I made another direct order! It was so hard whittling down my wishlist to an affordable level. I'm probably going to make another order as soon as my next paycheck gets in. It's an addiction, I fear.

I placed the order on the 14th March UK time, and it was shipped on the 17th. Customs hit me, but it was just over £30 which I didn't think was too bad. At least I was expecting it this time! It got to me on the 31st, after a 'sorry we missed you' lie from Royal Mail.


The stuff!


Tartan Red Skater Skirt - $50 (£27.31)


This was my main reason for ordering. I love tartan a lot, and I love skater skirts, so when this was released I was filled with want.


Velvet Black Skater Skirt - $60 (£32.77)


I was torn between this velvet piece and the burned velvet version, but since I already own this one in wine and know how lovely it is, I decided to get this one (first). Can you believe I didn't own a plain black skirt until now? I will surely wear this a lot.


Adventure Time Bro Ball Reversible Skater Dress - $95 (£51.88)


I also finally caved and bought this dress that I'd been eyeing since the Adventure Time collection was released. I really wish I'd bought the Princess Bubblegum one when I had the chance so I could have the full Adventure Time skater set. Hopefully one day!

I also made an order for some of the Game Of Thrones collection, so I'm looking forward to its arrival! I started watching the show again in the hopes that I will finally bring myself to finish reading A Clash Of Kings haha.
