Once in a while I stumble across something that despite my better judgement I find myself needing. This unicorn clutch is one of those things. It’s childish & verging on tacky, it barely fits my phone inside, is super impractical & it’s not even real leather – but I love her, in all her cheap pleather glory, my little gothicorn.

I’m always finding myself drawn to things that evoke a sense of nostalgia and I was obsessed with My Little Ponies when I was young, so it’s no surprise this turned me into a squealy 5 year old again (complete with making it gallop across the floor & neigh at my friends…) when it arrived! Being all black it blends in with my outfits nicely, without looking out of place & I love how it adds a cute, playful edge to what would otherwise be quite a moody outfit. I really do wish it had of been made from a nice textured leather instead though.

Another thing leaving me feeling nostalgic is this ‘name’ necklace. I could never find my name on any when I was younger, and maybe I’m still a bit annoyed about that, as I’m not the biggest fan of them now. I do love to adorn my body with writing though, all 3 of my next planned tattoos are written quotes, so when ONecklace asked if I’d like to try one of their necklaces I knew exactly what I wanted. I think ‘breathe’ is such a beautiful word and as someone who suffers with a little anxiety I find it’s a great word to keep constantly in mind. I love how delicate the script on this one is, and how it falls at that perfect length too. It’s quite subtle, and I can see it getting a lot of everyday use.

    Aha! it IS a little gothicorn! Cute, dark. I have similar feelings towards Hello Kitty Chococat. I didn’t exactly grow up with Hello Kitty, though, so I really have no excuse except there’s that inner child thing.. ;)

      Yes! I love Hello Kitty too, I used to have a little Chococat plush! I have such a soft spot for cute, childish things like that… I think I will always just be a big kid inside ;)

    I love your gothicorn! And I totally relate to falling for cute/geeky things and then just wearing them with full goth regalia, because really, why not?

    Good idea with the necklace too – I don’t love the idea of advertising my name around my neck, but a meaningful word is a totally different story.

      Exactly! The older I’ve got the more I’ve embraced my geekyness, so it seems fitting to incorporate it into my outfits a little too! ;)
      And yes, I hate the thought of complete strangers reading something like that & knowing my name, it kind of creeps me out!

    this is super cute steph – i have a thing for horses (and unicorns!) and this is such a unique clutch. sucks about the pleather but you can probably make a leather version later on? loving the ‘breathe’ name plate too. definitely a much better (and shorter) word than stephanie. still really love that cropped todd lynn piece on you! x

      Glad it’s not just me that’s a leather snob! ;) Yeah, I think when I get my hands on some thicker leather I may trace this one off & make a leather version, maybe give it a real hair mane & tail too with some hair extensions! Ha! :D

    I was also obsessed with MLP’s, I had the castle which I adored haha. I was never in barbies, it was all about the ponies for me. It really is impractical but I also love mine, it reminds me of the good ole days. ;) The necklace is also really sweet, I love wearing jewellery that has a special meaning/memory attached to it. <3

    Steph, I think the unicorn bag is a great pick: it gives a playful touch to the look, but the black leather is perfectly in tune with your style! When it comes to small bags/pouches, I’m also drawn to unusual design and I can proudly say that I have a rabbit-shaped and a duck-shaped mini-bags…you are not alone! Take care, Caterina
