Alternate history as a style


I see brass, victorian clothing and lots of steam...
what could I be talking about??? Well of course I'm talking about steampunk!
For those who are not yet familiar to steampunk, buckle up cause here comes the crash course!
Greatly inspired by authors like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Mark Twain, Mary Shelley and more, steampunk mainly seeks out an alternative history path, where everything revolves around gadgets and gimicks made out of brass, working on steam engines and greatly influenced by the industrial revolution... if you really wanna read more into it google it up or go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SteampunkNow let'S get to what matters.... how it looks and what it can do for you! First of all I think that steampunk really has the power to give a soul to the most souless objects.... like for example your PC
It can really style up your guitar solosor it could just give your home the final awesome touch you've been looking for Now you're probably saying to youself "Yeah, well dopamine, that all sounds nice if I wanna dress up for halloween...but I'm not gonna dress up like that in the middle of the year!!".... and that's not what I'm asking you to do, although I would find that awesome I can understand that point of view, so let's see how you can apply steampunk in your daily wardrope....
It's pretty much all about the acessories!!! Let's take a look at this fantastic key neclace in a steampunk style this one is perfect for any girl who wants to have a neclace that she can use to any ocasion, you can combine it to your everyday cloth or wear it to your favorite evening dress...

If you want something for a especial ocasion, no prob!!! How about this wonderfull choker!? Wouldn't that look great with a black dress? You know it would!!!!

Here come's one of my personal favs, a steampunk inspired pocket watch! Now I'm already a great fan of classical pocket watches, but with the steampunk touch it's just a whole new level of awesome added to your wardrope!!!

Now there are a kazillion of other thing that could be modified like a custom ipod


your headphones

or pretty much anything else, and the great thing is that if you have a bit of crafting knowledge and some will of doing it you could make this into a DIY project of your own!!!!
