Grunge Children

I've been a very lucky gal this past week as I've had the opportunity to explore New Zealand whilst working on a project. Tauranga is a beautifully lonely suburb, full of diversely rich architecture that astounds me for a town of its size. Everyday I walk down the street, smile at a new face and daydream like I'm in one of my beloved films Columbia whilst looking like a "get smart" character... Banana courtesy of the cute AF Opshop I was in The banana phone is still iconic FYI The local 'Fush and Chups' pics below ;) Tauranga. You've treated me well. One more day (and another fab outfit of course) before I'm back in plain old Sydney.  Laneikka x Instagram: @grunge_children Tumblr: undergroundgrunge.tumblr.com Contact: undergroundgrunge@hotmail.com Wanna wear ma clothes?  Buy them at: @grungechildrenstore  www.depop.com/laneikka

Yesterday I became not only a dancing queen but one that was seventeen. (I've waited seventeen years to make that ABBA reference...) The teenage years are the strangest ones and each year I feel like I completely alter the way I see, think and feel about the world and I can't wait to continue to grow, learn and continue to be the 'dancing queen'...  I had such a beautiful day yesterday wondering the streets of Sydney with those I love the most, great food, seeing theatre all conquered whilst wearing one of the prettiest dresses I've ever seen let only owned. P.S I got this fur coat for $25 at my local op shop just a few days ago.... It may of been the best 'thrift' I've ever found.  All Vintage x  Dress-The Very Bazaar  Laneikka x Instagram: @grunge_children Tumblr: undergroundgrunge.tumblr.com Contact: undergroundgrunge@hotmail.com Wanna wear ma clothes?  Buy them at: @grungechildr...

Hey Grunge Kids, Here’s a short fashion story of yours truly created by one of the most gifted artists (and someone who I adore as a great friend of mine) Gigi Garland.  She’s a painter, drawer and all round creative with such a talent for seeing potential and creating beautiful works, with the prettiest pearly white framing her lively smile. You can find her on instagram: @sorryimgigi A fair in a forest is the journey of one girl (me!), through the suburban backdrop of Emu Plains and the wonderment to be found in a place people don't venture to find wonder in...

Hey Grunge Kids, This year I was quite “Kawaii” (“cute”) with variations of pastel colour schemes and eccentric adornations including neon berets and glitter loafers. This style is worlds apart from my usual two looks; trashy 90’s (duh. My blog literally has “grunge” in the title) and a mixture of “gogo-groovy” (1960/70s aesthetic) but I love playing dress up, exploring new ways to express new moods, thoughts or ideas through fashion. I guess I’m a little bit of a harajuku girl at heart.  Day 2’s Outfit Photos courtesy of: @jaylim1 and @onehungryphotographer What am I wearing?  Dress: Nasty Gal Blouse: Vintage Shoes: UNIF Day 3:  Photos courtesy: @workingbasement_ All vintage and from Japan x  Day 4:  Photos courtesy: @jaysayaphoto What am I wearing now?

Hey Grunge Kids,  Went to the markets today, planning on getting a stall for Grunge Children Store very soon. Sydney kids keep a look out on my Instagram for when the stall will be at the markets! I also got this amazing hat. It makes me look like a golfer. So I wear it...
