Halloween Costume!

Happy Halloween!
So even though I didn't go trick-or-treating, I'm still dressing up because the Dance Rock rehearsal is tonight so we all agreed we were going to go in our costumes! (I know right, best rehearsal ever.)
Thought I would post some pictures of my costume, enjoy!

The edits were all done using the app "PhotoStudio"


 




So yeah I hope you have a perfectly mad Hollow's Eve, here's my Halloween playlist!

Thom Yorke Inspired Outfit!

YesIknowanotherfashionpostdon'tkillmeplease


So today's outfit is inspired by Thom Yorke in the Lotus Flower music video by Radiohead. My "artistic" poses are based off of Thom's dance moves in the video. So yep, enjoi.

Button-down shirt is from Kohl's I think(?) and jeans and bowler hat are from Target
 

Taking these shots was kinda tricky, I had to jump up on the wall before the timer went off


Posing for these was really fun XD
Like I did with some of the grunge shoot photos, I added a black & white filter in Photoshop Elements.


Nope, still not model material
 
Rock on,

OOTD

Hello!
Another fashion post today, this time I'm doing an outfit of the day.
So tonight I'm going to a School of Rock rehearsal for the upcoming Dance Rock show. I'm not really wearing anything special, but I thought I'd share anyway! Hope you like!


Military jacket was thrifted, Minecraft tee is from Kohl's
 
Skinny jeans from Hot Topic


I just threw my hair up in a high ponytail today and added
a black headband to accessorize
 
So yeah, that's my outfit for today! I think this outfit sums up my style pretty well: relaxed, simple, and slightly edgy. People I know have described my look as "badass rocker girl", "grunge magazine model", and on some occasions emo or scene. (I think the magazine model and emo were meant jokingly)
 
Yeahh I'm definitely not model material XD
If you have a fashion blog or just like posting your outfits like I do, link me to your blog, I'd love to check it out!
 
Rock on,

Grunge Photo Shoot!


Hey!
So for a while now I've been wanting to do a photo shoot. Selfies are great for Instagram and quick outfit-of-the-days, but I'd never really taken any proper, quality photos. So I dug out a tripod and our Nikon D3000 and got to work. It actually wasn't as complicated as I thought I actually had a lot of fun! Here's the result of my grungy photo shoot, enjoy!
 
I added the B&W filter in with Photoshop Elements
 
FYI gray tee is from Kohl's and jeans are from Wet Seal
 
It was actually raining when I took these last few photos. So grunge!


When making this one my Facebook profile picture I thought it was a bit colorful for a grunge photo, so I lowered the contrast using Photoshop (this is the original)
You may or may not have noticed that in all of these pictures I'm modeling flannel shirts. I was originally going to make this post about "How to Wear Flannel" but then I realized that I don't really wear flannel shirts that many different ways. I get all of my flannels from Goodwill and Salvation Army, by the way.

Delaware helped with the shoot too, thanks buddy!
 
So that's all for today, hope you liked the pics! I took a bunch more but I decided just to put the best six in this post, didn't want to bore ya. ;)
Later grungers!

Maltose

Hello my lovelies,
So I have an exciting thing to share!
My band Maltose released our first single, Barnyard Requirements!! (I wrote the lead line and the keys solo!!) And since we're awesome we put it up on YouTube so you can listen to it for free! ;)

 
Hope you like our song, and if you do please spread the word and share it with your homies!
So yeah while you're listening to our rad tune here's a little insight on our band:
Our lead guitarist and vocalist is Zach Schwartz (my brother). He handles the technical end of things as well, setting up our recording equipment and mixing our tracks.
Phoenix Spinozzi is our drummer, he designed the album cover for our EP-in-progress, The Banana Massacre, and he also runs our YouTube channel and Soundcloud.
And then there's me. I play bass and keys and manage our Facebook page.
So that's all for now, if you have any questions about our equipment, music style, or want to hear more of us, you can leave a comment below. Thanks!
 
Rock on,
~Libby~

Cards Against Humanity

Ohhhhh Lord...
Today I'm going to talk about some interesting online adventures I had last night, starting with
Cards Against Humanity.

What is Cards Against Humanity? It's basically Apples to Apples for adults, and it may or may not make you feel like a horrible person after you've played it.
Some examples of cards in the game o_O

This all started when I was messaging my best friend Justice. He wanted me to play it with him and Evan, another good friend of mine (we set up a Skype call too so we could laugh at each other's cards). I had no idea what I was getting into, so I said I would. Hoho, if only I knew.
We played about 6 or 7 rounds of this terrible, scarring game. It's a really fun game, but definitely not for people who can't handle dirty jokes and disgusting humor. It was about 2am by now, so we all talked about Pokémon and music for roughly another hour until Justice said he was going to bed and ended the call. Well, Evan and I had decided already that at this point, neither of us were getting sleep (because as he said, sleeping is for the weak), so he called me back and we talked about cats, bands and School of Rock experiences until around 4:30, when we switched to Facebook chat for fear of waking up our parents and continued chatting until 5:15 when he had to get ready to leave for college. As you can see it was a brilliant idea--pulling an all-nighter on a Sunday night. I think I'm gonna check on Evan when he gets home XD So yeah, I hope you learned from our stupidity!
Guys, don't play Cards Against Humanity.

Rock on,
