Me & some of my outfits were featured on the Gem app blog. You can read about my styling process and inspirations in the article

The Alternative & Androgynous Side of The 80s

Mallory Heart loves early-to-mid 80s fashion, mixing authentic workwear with alternative goth and new wave styles. Her style represents the

Hopefully tumblr doesn’t flag this one as age restricted like it did last time

Glovelet I freehand knit a while ago and never shared

Rags in hair. A trend in certain subculture circles in the 80s. Notably seen on a few celebrities like Adam Ant and Pete Burns

There’s about three people I cycle through in terms of ripping off makeup inspiration and obviously Siouxsie is one of them

How I store a large jewelry collection so I can see everything

Some people asked on my TikTok & Instagram how I store my jewelry because I have quite a lot I’ve managed to collect. I’m also someone who needs to keep things where I can see them or else I forget I have them. I posted this on my TikTok but this is the answer:

1. Old air plant frame for clip on earrings

2. Multiple of these 80s “earring books” for regular earrings (and rings)

3. A display I made by nailing fabric to a picture frame for larger brooches (you could also do this with chicken wire instead of fabric)

4. A hair clip organizer I’ve had since I was a little girl for smaller, lighter pins and brooches

5. Thrifted tie organizer for necklaces (tie organizers are very easy to thrift). You can also see that I keep most of my hats and gloves on my wall in this photo

6. Large statement necklaces that take up a lot of space get hung directly on the wall

7. A thimble display shelf for cufflinks, collar tips, and oddly shaped earrings & rings that would be difficult to store otherwise. Someday I’ll hang this on the wall but for now it’s just sitting on a shelf

8. An old purse strap for bangles

I was everyone’s favorite mad scientist again this year for Halloween because I made almost every single component of my costume so it was too much effort to not reuse it and it’s also the 50th anniversary of RHPS. Even the shoes were a pair of shoes I got secondhand and very heavily modified

It’s my favorite time of year: cold enough I can dress like a black blob and not overheat.

Hi. I’m slowly uploading photos from this “Replicas” inspired shoot to my Pinterest.

[mallorylovesyou]

I went back and got some photos of this look in front of a yellow background since this was meant as a tribute to “Replicas”

[mallorylovesyou]

Outfit & makeup based off the cover art of the 1979 album Replicas by Tubeway Army for my third time seeing Gary Numan last night. Replicas is one of my favorite albums, ever, and my username of “malloryheart” on most platforms is a direct reference to Numan’s song, “Metal” as he is probably the artist who has had the biggest influence on me

Why a pink room? I’d blend into a black one!

This heat is cramping my style

Last time I tried to upload a video, it just disappeared. This time, I try to make this bright magenta sweater goth

I don’t think I ever shared this here. My 1985 Metropolitan Musuem of Art cat brooches, likely based off precolumbian Peruvian depictions of felines like those below. Both a left facing and right facing version were produced, and I managed to track down one of each.

Hi! I’m back with another video. This time I make a goth look with a white shirt I thrifted

[mallorylovesyou]

I’ve been bad about uploading to tumblr, mostly because I don’t have my studio space set up right now.

Anyways, if you want it bad enough, you can make anything goth. Even an ugly t shirt dress you thrifted for $3 because you had a vision at the thrift store
