Music Styles for a Scene Kids

Music Styles for a Scene Kids

There are a number of genres of music that Scene kids normally listen to and these are normally one of the following:

• Emo
• Indie
• Techno, Happy Hardcore, Trance or Dance
• Electronic Punk Rock, Punk, Skate Punk, Pop Punk
• Classic Rock, Hard Rock or Rock • Deathcore or Hardcore Metal

Even though these are the types of music that Scene kids normally listen to, it is acceptable to listen to other types as the whole Scene thing is about being unique and individual and it is very “hip” to favour a new style of music every once in a while and having others following it after you.

One of the best ways to find music and to be more specific, generalised bands and songs that the Scene kids listen to then it is a good idea to check out the music section of the Scene kids MySpace or FaceBook. This is an especially good tip for a beginner in the Scene world. By looking up the music that other people listen to you can find where to start with regards to being a real Scene kid.
Trying out new things is a very cool thing to do when you are a Scene kid so by looking at different bands or genres of music than what you would normally listen to is a good thing to do. You could even try mixing different styles of music yourself to be considered really into the whole Scene thing.

Feeling Tickled Pink

I'm feeling like wearing a lot of soft pink colours! After looking at this site.

Some fancy things I would like to wear right now.

Oh, I just want to wear chiffon and go around in bare feet (even if I did just purchase huge crazy boots). Yes, I want spring. I'm all ready for it.

Scene Eye Make-Up Tips

Scene Eye Make-Up

The scene fashion statement is somewhat similar to that of the emo in the sense that both cater to the freedom of expression and individuality. However, while the emo look is inclined to black or darker shades; the scene fashion is more partial to brighter and prominent colors.

The scene make-up is an essential aspect of the scene look. In effecting a scene make-up, you need to remember that your aim is to create drama with your eyes in a very distinctly unique way that will catch anyone’s attention. But you should be careful to keep it subtle like it’s but natural to put that eye make-up as it is so easy to overdo it (which can usually be extremely disastrous or hilarious).

The staple components of the scene eye make-up are the eyeliners, eyeshadows, and mascaras. Fake lashes are also usually part of a typical scene eye make-up.
While the emo look caters mostly to black eyeliners, the scene make-up goes for striking colors like silver and gold; or may still use black liners to a minimum with glittery gold or silver undertones. Shadows are used heavily over the upper and ever the lower lids. Colors like purple, blue, orange, and gold are very trendy. These can be used in combination too. Just be sure that the shades blend well and that they look good with your overall coloring.


Long and thick mascaras are great in enhancing your scene eye make-up. And fake lashes provide extra dramatic effect if you’re up to it as well.

Chin up, walk tall

They're here!

They are mighty tall, and I walked around them for a while thinking that I should probably return them because they're so tall.

Except they're so awesome so I'm not going to return them.




Who doesn't like some Jak & Jil for their weekend?

Go Crazy

Ohhhh I did something totally insane and spent money on a pair of boots that look like this:

Yes. They will be here tomorrow. Wonderful Guess "Maeve" boots. Kind of gothic but I can't wait to wear it with my chiffon dress with tights and leg warmers, a black blazer, and some crazy coloured scarf.

So now for some outfits that I would gladly wear. Because we all have Lacroix, Moschino and Schouler lying around in our closets.

SO EXCITED. SO IN LOVE.

But not nearly as excited or as in love with the fact that Barack Obama is now our President!!

Pretty Passport Holder

When I was walking pass the travel accessories section at Saks last month, I scoffed at the idea. Why would I need a pretty passport holder when I only use it once every few months, and when I do, only very briefly when I go through customs. Most of the time, it is kept inside my bag anyway.

A day or so later, I learnt the error of my ways. 12 hours before my international flight, I realized that my passport was not where it should be. I was completely frazzled and lost. I immediately started ransacking my apartment looking for it and even called HG internationally for moral support in my panicked state (it was the middle of the night for her too!). I kept looking while she went online and checked out what one does in a situation like this (it was a saturday night so govt departments are not even opened the next day). Half an hour later, I finally found it neatly tucked away in a inconspicuous looking white envelope. I'd used my passport 6 months ago for something else and had forgotten to put it back in the pencil case looking travel bag where I put all my travel stuff in. Phew! Crisis avoided.
The next day on my ride to the airport, I retold my story to my friend and she said that this was why I should get a pretty passport holder, then I'd never have to put my passport in a white envelope. Plus, I should get an eye catching one, so I'll see it immediately. She had a point. Now i'm a convert to pretty passport holder. The question of course, is which one. I'm considering this bright red one from Saks. It is simple, elegant and vibrant. Plus, the size is just right, with little compartments for travel award cards etc (actually it might even be a great present for mom!).

How does everyone else keep their passport?

Scene Hair Extensions

Scene Hair Extensions

With their unique cuts and distinctive highlights, scene hairstyles are attention-catching and scene-stealing. These hairstyles also usually feature hair extensions and coontails which often come in various colors. Scene hair extensions are commonly used to accentuate scene hairstyles. These extensions are not used simply to lengthen hair, but to give it extra character, dimension, and color.
There are many colors and types of scene hair extensions. They even come in two-toned shades, and even stripes. If you have short blonde hairstyle, you may choose to add dark-colored hair extensions for added length and detail.

If you prefer a more off-beat and personalized scene hairstyle, you may also wish to go for a funkier type of hair extensions. These are usually composed of hair strands in strikingly attractive colors such as purple, pink, blue, or orange; or can be in blonde with stripes of pink, blue, violet, or green.
Scene hair extensions can also look casually formal and elegant depending on your choice of colors and lengths. Your hairstyle may also influence the general effect of your scene hair extensions. Even though you do not sport a scene haircut, you may still wear a scene hairstyle by adding scene hair extensions. Just remember that a scene hairstyle is all about expressing your individual style in an eye-catching way.

The DVF Keva Dress

I always knew that Ms. von Furstenburg was a genius with the wrap dress, but I thought that my one printed blue DvF classic wrap dress would be enough to quench my thirst for DvF. Unfortunately, she has proven me wrong with the Keva dress.
I first caught a glimpse of it online window shopping on Shopbop. It had only just gone on sale and I thought, aww what a pretty dress. Then the other day, I saw it at a department store and I must say, it looks even better in person! Naturally I simply HAD to try it on, even though the only one on the rack was about 2 sizes too big. And it felt absolutely beautiful. It is made out of this wonderfully flowy chiffon material that moves with you as you swirl. Most of the time with these kind of dresses, the chest area would be too big for me. But from the looks of it, with the right size, it promises to fit well on me (or so I imagine). And best thing of all? With this print, this is the perfect dress for Spring. The color is dark enough that you can pair it with tights for colder weathers. But the material and design is just light enough that it will still be great for summer! The print is also not so recognizable that it will be over next season. How awesome is this dress?

Unfortunately for me, I analyze too long and now they are sold out on Shopbop (it was half price!). I've already checked the DvF website, Saks and Neiman Marcus. But alas, it looks like this dress is lost to me. I definitely need to keep my eye out for something similar in the next collection!

Oh and Happy 2009 everyone!

Dress Me

What inspires your sense of style? For me, right now it's things that drape well, a summery sort of flow, romantic things and I get inspired by photos that appear drenched in sunlight. I love photo spreads, I could spend hours upon hours staring at them and soaking in their beautiful glossy feel. This is just a hint of what has been inspiring me lately, what about you?










Kind of makes you want summer...

There's something about the girl

There's something about the girls at Garance Dore. Maybe it's their fresh faces, their glowing skin, their always inspiring looks, or their gazing eyes. I love street-style blogs, because we're not looking at people who dress to the nines everyday in clothes that cost more than they should. We're simply looking at people with their own taste, their own style, just living their lives, who happened to be caught on camera and shown to the world.
