Shopping: Dead men tell no tales, but they make a statement

Have you heard of Doom Stew? Well check them out! They also have some merchandise.

Which leads me to my next topic--You may have noticed that a skull fashion trend has been sweeping the nation. Is sporting human remains on your shirt too morbid? Not really. I once bought a pair of cute little skull wristbands at Disneyland.

I personally love this motif, because you can wear it in many different ways. There's the traditional goth-inspired skull imagery for spike-wearing rebels. But there are also more dainty and feminine options, like these adorable rhinestone skull earrings from fredflare.com.

The pirate angle never gets old either; this skull belt-buckle has a great vintage feel. Delias has a striped skull sweater that my partner in crime has been eyeing for quite awhile... LOVE IT!

The key to pulling off this trend is by keeping things subtle. Wear one skull piece at a time, and if you're a girly girl and it feels too harsh, try contrasting it with something more feminine like a hint of lace.
