Style Division: Hello Wolfgirl
By Destroyx | January 12, 2010
I’ve always been fascinated by wolves and the tale of little red riding hood. So when I saw these Iron Fist Werewolf heels at Trash and Vaudeville a few weeks back, they called to me. However, they sat sad and unworn for a month or so as I couldn’t figure out what to wear with them.
The other day I found this barbaric fur scarf in the bargain bin at H&M for $3 and I knew I had found the perfect match for my wolf heels, as it seemed only appropriate to wear something a little feral to keep in with the spirit of the shoes.
Finally, the red touch of the sock garters, with the red chain bracelet and very red lips makes me think that a little bit of red riding hood finally got mixed in with the wolf.
Funny story: I was nearly finished doing my makeup when a ferocious drip of blood fell from my left nostril. The first thing I thought was, ‘wow, that crimson is such a great colour, it really matches my makeup’. Half an hour later after my nosebleed had subsided, I instantly regretted not taking the photos with the nosebleed, as I think it could have added a sinister overtone to the images. I’ll keep the concept in mind for future shoots though!

So you’Re a nosebleed lover too? :D
And … when did you say will you finally publish your hair tutorial? :P
Awesome. And H&M! Yay … bought a fluffy scarf for 3€ and skull print gloves for 1€ there :D
Ah yes. You’Re great :) Thank you for being that inspirational.

awesome shoes.. don’t you have similar boots..?
January 12th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
I saw those shoes the other day on the internet and they’re sold out everywhere, so lucky you!

Very nice shoes. Love this outfit. Are you going to have a makeup tutorial for this?

I faced my fear of e-shopping to buy some of your amazing jewellery, including the crest necklace. It looks stunning on you, and I really enjoy the wolf-themed Style Division this week. Wolves are my favorite animals, so I’m happy to see someone else spreading the love.
I only wish that they made those Iron Fist Werewolf shoes in my size. A girl can dream, right? ;)
I’m off to draw pretty pictures now, inspired by this post. Rock on, girl.

I hope that it’s not real fur!

I love Iron Fist shoes! Those werewolf heels are awesome.
January 13th, 2010 at 1:18 am
you totally feed my love for sock garters at the moment. love this coordinate.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:51 am
Beautiful style, as always. As a fellow red riding hood fan, I love the wolfish influence! And I am totally jealous of those shoes.
Loving the jewellery too - can’t wait for my bracelet to arrive! :)
January 13th, 2010 at 3:14 am
When I saw the shoes-I almost fainted!! Omg you look gorgeous as always :) Haha you should have took pictures of you with your nose bleed :P
January 13th, 2010 at 3:47 am
Great… now everytime I listen to “Wolf” or “Paint Hell Red” I’m now gonna imagine you with a nosebleed growling at the camera. LOL. Alas, there are no ref. to the story in the new album, but I’m sure I can find them.
You must really love your fairy tales. It’s been 19 years and I still love them to death, especially now that they are not as light and pure as originally told to me. (To me, a fairy tale based style division would be all kinds of awesome.)
But, still… Your jewelry line calls to me… I signed up for a job and hopefully within two weeks, I’ll get it, work my ass off, and spend the first paycheck on one of those pieces.
I’m sorry that this comment is long winded. I just have a lot to say about that stunning outfit.
January 13th, 2010 at 5:22 am
wow, what a great look!
January 13th, 2010 at 7:55 am
Hello Wolfgirl! Awesome photos! ^^
I’m still waiting for my Angelspit order… It passed one month since the delivery… Maybe cause I’m so far away from USA? :( Hopefully I’ll get it in near future.

You have great style young Lady!! The shoes are pretty kick ass!! You look amazing head to toe!!
January 13th, 2010 at 10:03 am
I have the very same scarf! Although it cost me £8, it was a steal!
And I love the shoes. They’re way better than the Zombie Stomper heel Iron Fist brought out a few months back. Fierce!

I’m loving this look! You look as though you could be the heroin (or villian ;]) in a Little Red Riding Hood tale of your own!
But above all else you look absolutely stunning. I’ve definitely noticed your style influencing my own outfits recently. (:

Tao- Hair tutorial is shortly on hold, but I’ll get around to it eventually…! I wish I had all of my stuff with me, but because I’m travelling it makes things harder.
nikk F- Nope, I don’t have these in boot form.. though I wish they came in boot form.
Maggie- Woo! Mine were the last pair in the store so I’m really glad I nabbed them. I just have to wear them out more!
Tae Dark- Nope, I won’t be doing a tutorial because it’s a fairly rudimentary look that’s similar to the eyes on the prize look.
Ja- Hey thanks so much for your order! I totally appreciate it! Also, yay for drawing… I’m sure what you’ll come up with will be awesome. I’m glad I could have inspired you.
Cy- Nope, it definitely is fake, I mean it cost $3 from H&M! =)
Disposable Darling- They are one of my favourite brands, I LOVE their graphic design work.
yume ninja- I have a sock garter fetish… I loveeeee them…
Terradoll- WOO! Thanks for ordering, I hope you like the bracelet!
Bianca- I know.. it would have been awesome… next time!
P-chan- Well.. having a job is good fun and you can buy all sorts of fun stuff with the cash, you will not regret having a job.
Avarine- Thanks sweet heart.
Natan- One month is kind of a long time for an order to arrive… which website did you order it from? Surgeon-x.com or Blackpillredpill.com? I will check it for you.
chris/devntone- Thanks pretty!
Heartcorecuteness- Yay for us having the same scarf! Great minds think alike.
Thomas- I prefer villain… hehe….
January 13th, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Oh My Gosh! You look beautiful, and those shoes are fabulous!
You have wonderful taste, and I only wish I could find stuff as amazing as that over here!!
xx

INCREDIBLE photos, and nice hair! Lots of ♥♥♥!
January 13th, 2010 at 7:17 pm
hoping to see the lips necklace in a store in aus soon. desperately want but i seriously cannot afford shipping
January 13th, 2010 at 7:25 pm
Blitz- most of the stuff I find is at chain stores like H&M and forever 21 because I can’t afford really expensive stuff!
prettycannibalgirl- Yeah the shipping to Australia is quite expensive unfortunately… We will be selling this through Redstripe soon in Perth but that’ll be in their retail shop and I’m not sure if they’ll sell it online.
January 14th, 2010 at 5:59 am
It was blackpillredpill.com.
January 14th, 2010 at 6:09 am
To start off on a creepy note, I’ve been blog-stalking you for awhile, and your Style Division posts always make my day. You look amazing, and I would die for a pair of those shoes.
January 14th, 2010 at 11:56 am
wow, i love your outfit! as usual :p you just have an amazing style.
& that fur thingie & the shoes really do look perfect together.
January 14th, 2010 at 9:18 pm
“Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked” by Catherine Orenstein is also a good one (I’m obsessed with Little Red myself!).
What can I say that I haven’t before? Another knockout outfit. I’m not worthy!!
January 15th, 2010 at 1:37 am
Natan- Ok I’ll check to see when it was sent out. The orders don’t normally take longer than 2 weeks to arrive overseas.
Miss Peregrin- YAY for blog stalking! The shoes were actually very affordable which is awesome.
maraluce- Thanks sweet heart.
Diana- Ohh.. I should check that book out, thanks for the heads up!
January 15th, 2010 at 9:34 am
Great outfit post - you look incredible. PS - I have the same fur scarf from H&M….I got every colour they had! (Purple, black and a kind of brown mottled one that my husband affectionately refers to as “the tabby”…). They were so cheap but utterly fab and I wear them with everything…x
January 15th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Poppy- Great minds think alike, you must have good taste =) Yeah I got the purple one too! But I didn’t see the brown one available, or I definitely would have got it too. I am doing another style division next week with the purple one.
January 15th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
yay you went to trash..isnt it awesome..love those shoes…they are rockin…sorry about the nosebleed..youd still look beautiful with it though…
January 25th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
Oh my gosh! Beautiful!!!!!
You so need to make a make-up totourial as well :)
January 27th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
That would be why - we don’t have stores like that over here
We recently got a New Look, and have a tiny topshop, but thats all we have decent-clothes wise!
(and Topshop can be pretty expensive on the nice things too, sadly :()
