LONG, PUFFED SLEEVE OPERA GLOVES FROM INDIE DESIGNER GLOVED UP. UNIQUE FINGERLESS EVENING GLOVES, GOTH ARISTOCRAT.

Long opera gloves, fingerless gloves, and puffed sleeves… rolled together into one flamboyant accessory? Yes, yes, yes!

UK designer Glovedup Gloves generously sent me Estelle Blanche Classic evening gloves to test out. I’m in love – and so are Anna Piaggi, Amanda Lepore, Dita Von Teese, and Lady GaGa. Glovedup’s creations have unique design elements such as pierrot lace, metallic fabrics, and fringe. The Estelle Blanche Classic is made in a environmentally-fabric breathable stretch (£75). What better way to add a runway twist to a little black dress?

My makeup is a combination of Aromaleigh and Cuberry samples. To make my eyes pop, I swept bright yellow on my inner crease and outer lower lash line. My lips are dotted with metallic purple.

Shoes: London Underground Bread ‘n Honey Mary Jane Pump (love them!)
Over-the-knee heart socks: from an Ikebukuro, Tokyo accessories store. I think I paid under $3 for them.
Dress: Vanessa Barrantes for Shumaq Millma (from the NYC Billion Dollar Babes designer sample sale)

Here’s a better view of my Putumayo White Rabbit wristwatch, along with a skull hair elastic from HellCatPunks and a handmade black lace/bead bracelet. In the back: the musical note print on my Metamorphose temps de fille dress. My nails are falling apart; I painted them silver and added nail art stickers from a Tokyo dollar store.
