Into The Void
Many apologies to everyone for my recent disappearance from Obscure Alternatives. It's been an interesting couple of months and my mind has been everywhere else (mainly music) but thinking about fashion. I don't know how long it'll be until I'm back but I will be. I just need to live a little.

Bevel by Jonathan Goldstein Season 3
Hardware and Software are terms commonly reserved to describe a computer and programs. Hardware is the shell, or machine. Software is the programs, the non-physical substances that serve a function and allow a computer to operate. On one hand we have the physical, hardware, while on the other hand we have the metaphysical, software. Have you ever heard the human body compared to a machine? Organic and inorganic matter is not dissimilar on the most basic level. Everything is a product of energy and information. Science has come to realize that the atom, held, as the basic unit of matter, is not a solid entity, and the universe was declared to be made entirely of non-stuff. The advent of fax machines, computers, radio, television and the internet are based on this realization. This season, each piece of jewelry in the BEVEL Hard and softwear (HXS) collection comments on the state of our Hardware, the body and Software, the spirit, in an attempt to offer alternate perspectives on the way we view our selves and our environment. The jewelry of HXS Compares machine to biology, physical to metaphysical, ‘hard wear’, jewelry, ‘soft wear’, skin and ‘software’, spirit.
It's no secret how much I adore Jonathan Goldstein and his jewellery so you guys should go and buy some because they'll be pieces you'll have for the rest of your life (and afterlife...goths).

Recent Acquisitions And Old Favourites
It's been about two weeks since I got back from New York and I figured I might as well show you guys some of the things I got. The wonderful Alyssa Panda Eyes gave me the triangle ring, crystal earrings and hexagram necklace, all three which have been glued to me ever since.
I bought the bird skull ring at Topshop the other day to keep in the theme of dangerous jewellery.
Went to Opening Ceremony with Alyssa, Chelsey and Sean and walked out with Comme Des Garçons' Vettiveru Cologne which has quickly become my favourite thing in the world. I tend to either wear very airy and light perfumes (Flower by Kenzo, Infusion D'Iris) or very musky men's smells (Chanel's Cuire De Russie) so this was a perfect addition to my collection.
Lastly, no trip to New York is complete without bringing back tones of cheap St. Mark's sunglasses.
