October Favorites: Music Edition

Hey guys, I actually have something music-related to write about!
I thought it'd be cool to do an October favorites, but instead of reviewing things I've bought I'm going to talk about bands I've been listening to this past October and then link you to my top 10 favorite songs, so let's get started!

Firstly I'd like to say that my taste in music is really broad. I listen to anything from pop to video game music to death metal. I always try to stay open minded about music and give every genre/band a fair opinion.
So the first band I want to talk about is Soundgarden.
Soundgarden is an American rock band from Seattle. You've probably heard of their vocalist, Chris Cornell, who was also in Audioslave and Temple of the Dog. Soundgarden is an old favorite of mine, I've been listening to them for years. My favorite album from them is Down on the Upside.

The next band I want to cover is Megadeth. They're a metal band from Los Angeles, California. They were formed by their lead guitarist and vocalist, Dave Mustaine. Like Soundgarden, I've been listening to them for quite a while. I think the first song I heard from them was Sweating Bullets. Megadeth is a great band to listen to in October, since they have lots of creepy, dark songs. My favorite record is Countdown to Extinction.

 

This next band is actually a new favorite of mine, and they are Panic! At the Disco. These guys formed in Las Vegas. They're mainly a rock band, but have some beautiful mellow stuff too. I also really love their costumes in their music videos. From what I've heard of them, so far my favorite album is Pretty. Odd.

 

So now I'm going to give you the list of my top 10 listens throughout October. Clicking on them will link you to a YouTube video where you can listen to them!

10. Knights of Cydonia - Muse
9. Octavarium - Dream Theater
8. Ghost of You - My Chemical Romance
7. Chasm - Flyleaf
6. Trust - Megadeth
5. Blow Up the Outside World - Soundgarden
4. Symphony of Destruction - Megadeth
3. Misery Business - Paramore
2. Climbing Up the Walls - Radiohead
1. Girls/Girls/Boys - Panic! At the Disco

That's all for today!

Purple Hair 0_o

Sup?
So I might've done something spontaneous...

 

Oh God Libby what did you do to your hair.
Yeah I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I miss being a ginger, but luckily it's only semi-permanent dye so it will (hopefully) wash out in a week or two.
All the same, I'm never using that dye again. I used RAW Color in Deep Purple, and it came out pretty much blue. Yeah, I wasn't happy when I saw it. I used this color a few years ago and all I remembered about it was that it looked really nice when it was on my hair. Well I don't know what changed since then but this dye is crap. Nevertheless I took some photos and I thought I'd share. Enjoy?

Soda tab bracelet was a gift from my good friend Maggie, I'll leave a link to her blog right here.

Pika shirt is from Kohl's, shorts are from Target and Candie's combat boots are also from Kohl's
(man I get a lot of stuff from Kohl's...)

 

So yeah, that's...that. I'm sorry this is not an exciting post, I should really put some time into something more interesting. But until then, seeya later!

 

Squirt is so pretty c:

Rock on,

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!

 

White Rabbit - Jefferson Airplane

Where is My Mind? - The Pixies

Madness - Muse

Brain Damage - Pink Floyd

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!
