Katy Perry Rocking the Flag

 Katy Perry has always been very open about who she backs as US president, and it's fair to say she is proud to be an American.
On Saturday Katy Perry fulfilled her patriotic duty once again as she headlined the Kids' Inaugural Concert in Washington. Dressed in a star spangled banner themed 50's Pin-up style costume, the singer rocked the stage in front of the famous First Family in honour of the children of military families nationwide. - The Daily Mail Online.

It reminds us of our 'Olympic Theme' section of www.31bstore.com we had last year, which was full of British inspired prints and patterns as well as American flag sequin tops, American print shoes and other alternative and individual goodies. americanflag31bstore

  The American flag top. Katy would rock this.

Spring 'Rule' Breakers

Last week we talked about Disney Characters going bad, this week we prep you for Disney girls gone wild, with the introduction of the Spring Breakers scene and poster clips.
ImageImageImage
This new movie due to be released very soon (June UK) is going to change your opinion of many of the little disney scarlets in this 'Spring Break' based 'Girls gone bad movie. Sex, drugs and rock and roll all feature and headline the films topic.

As you can already tell it's a feisty film about boys, toys and guns. The costumes are mainly bikinis, swimwear and flip flops. Typical beach attire.

The films styling is fun and fabulous, bringing girly grunge to the forefront of teen and youth celeb lead trends and aspirational beach fashion, beach loose lips hair and skimpy low cut bikinis showing a lot of flesh and a serious need for factor 50.

It's something new :)

It's something new :)

WHOOO!
We're very excited to announce that Iron Fist will be launching their collection of Nail Wraps.

With their edgy approach to fashion it's no wonder that they've expanded their range to include these new must have nail accessories. Sporting some of our most beloved prints and collections, both past and present including the old classic "ZOMBIE STOMPER".

Something also worth a mention is the introduction of Iron Fist watches, again using favorite prints and patterns.

Here is a preview of what Iron Fist are currently up to:



Styled with some tattoos and bright blue hair, thick eyebrows and eyeliner: it's clear to see that this season won't be a quiet one.

Style - Rock it up.


Style

Our style section was introduced to the site when we had our new site in October, and it's fair to say we were chuffed and were convinced that it would work better. We were wrong.

I'm now majorly questioning my choice of styles. I think it was a three o clock in the morning jobby 'Preppy' preppy was just never going to work, and is completely the opposite of what we are.

Different , alternative, unique, that is where we're at. With urban, street wear thrown in, get at us if you want an indie look or style.

It's fair to say preppy has been thrown out the window. *wipes brow*

After massive, mahuusive and verging ludicrous explanation in 2012 we're looking to expand our collection and really have our alternative cake and eat it.

So there really is something for everyone on our alternative site and when we say everyone we mean in the underground, alternative ,open minded, dark fashion world  CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL.

This is the collections and styles we're having.

Brocade
Rock Chic
Pin-Up (bloggers sit down we know you're excited!)
Rock / rockabilly / new rock
Goth
Alternative
Grunge
Steam punk / punk
Biker
Tattoo
A little bit of psychobilly for the die hards 
Streetwear (it's our roots people!)
Quirky / Kitsch
Urban (yeah blud *cringe*)
Underground - just a must.
And finally ....
Gaming









In all categories clothing, shoes, accessories.

So those are on the list for revamp style wise, we're working on it.
We're also going on a sourcing and buying trip later this month in order to pick out - yes new brands and products.
