Happy Roriday!

Hello my friends.

Yesterday was International Macaron Day,

so we had a small Lolita meet-up in Vienna.

We went to Café Süssi, which is really well known for it's desserts!

Sadly, they didn't have any macarons because macarons apparently are a seasonal dessert.

Never heard of that before, but yeah.

Now to the pictures!

My outfit was basically all offbrand, vintage or handmade.

 Thank you for reading!

Love,

Doll Museum

Hello honeys!

A few days ago I was at my parent's place and I visited a Barbie-specific museum.

I really felt nostalgic, because I used to collect Barbies as well. I even saw a few I used to have.

Here's the link. *clicky* It's in German however. 

I do have an obsession with dolls!

Now to the pictures.

Me!

Kimono Barbies! Love the hairstyles. haha

 Indian Barbies. Their eyes are really pretty!

I love how this Skipper had rooted eyelashes.

Vivienne Westwood for Life Ball

Jackie Kennedy

Psychedelic 70's! I LOVE the colours!!

Trashy 90s Christmas Barbie

That's it!

Wait, what?

HELLO!

I'm not gonna apologize again for not posting since it's annoying.

I'll just post stuff whenever I feel like.

Lots of stuff going on in my life. University is so much fun, so inspiring. 

I met so many great people there already. And the teachers are amazing as well.

Anyways. I don't think I've ever mentioned that I'm doing drag now.
Since October or so.

I decided to resort my blog a little - the stuff I'm posting about, layout and such.

I still need some time to sort things out and work out a concept.

However I'm gonna post more regularly.
Probably more about make up, partying, outfits, fashion and stuff I'm working on.

Be prepared!

Blog Update - Fashion show and career

Hello again  ♪

Remember when I posted the WIP pic of the Roccoco dress I was working on?

Probably not. However I finished it in February/March and we had our school's fashion show in April. 

I worked about 120 hours on the dress and spent about 300€ for the materials. 

I used up about 20 meters of fabric! And I don't even wanna know how much lace. I'm really satisfied with the result though! ♪(ﾉ ´∀`*)ﾉ 

Do you like it?

♪ ♪ ♪

In the first semester of this school year we worked on historical garments such as the Roccoco dress.

In the second semester we were being prepared for the Master Tailor's exam.

Summary: 2nd semester sucked and drained all my energy.

A whole semester of sewing the same stupid jacket over and over again for the same person so I'd fit like a glove when it gets serious. Didn't work out thaaaat well though. However I passed the practical and the oral Master Tailor's exam.

So now I am officially a MASTER TAILOR!! OMAGAAAWD! (￣▽￣)ノ

My mom bought me that cute signboard. It says certified master tailor!

♪ ♪ ♪

And no - my story's not over yet.

I applied at an art university for the subject Textile Arts and got invited to the entrance exam which lasted 3 days. I got accepted!! So that means I'll study Textile Arts and English as lectureship - studying to be a teacher so to speak. 

Japanese wasn't available. D'oh. ( ; w;)ノ 

Last but not least I set up a small online portfolio on deviantart.

 *CLICKY* 

Let me know if you like it!

Cheers,

Blog Update - Trip to Venice Carnival

Hello everyone ♪

It's been quite some time since I posted on here. I'm really sorry for not blogging but idk I just didn't feel like and I've been so busy. However I'm REALLY planning to post more on here again.

A lot of stuff happened since February. There will be a few update posts. Let's start with Venice. After my holidays in the Netherlands I went to the Carnival of Venice for 2 days with my classmates. We went there by train which was horrible. The trip was nice though.

Anyways. Pictures here!

In the hotel

Cute jewellery shoppe!

Kawaii Jelly Bags!

Cute lace collars!

Neat costumes!

Yeah so that was my trip to Venice in pictures!

Love,

NL Trip Feb '12

Hello there!

It's been a week since I got back from NL and I didn't have time to blog about it yet.

But here we go!~

☆彡☆彡☆彡

I've been to the Netherlands from 3rd Feb to 12th. I stayed at my friend Mika's place and got to meet the people he lives with! It was fun! We also cooked nearly every day so I got to know some new Japanese recipes and such!

♪(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ

I travelled to Amsterdam, Leiden, Den Haag and Utrecht so I've been to quite some places during my stay. I also got to meet my friends Irene, Mali and Gerben.

☆彡☆彡☆彡

Anyways here are the pics I wanted to share!

Kawaii kitten handluggage trolley! I should've bought it.

Cute beads shop!

Bunny in petshop

All-you-can-eat the Japanese way!

Frozen canals in Leiden! It's been really cold outside.

Awesome vintage shoppe in Amsterdam!

Lovely lilac chandelier from Xenos. Waaant!

Cute pink kitschy store! Loved it!

Mali, Irene and my drinks!

Lace and trims everywhere! Went crazy there. XD

Irene, me and Mali!

Awesome pancake-ish thingies in Amsterdam!

☆彡☆彡☆彡

Well that's my trip in pictures!

I still have to take pics of all the stuff I bought there.

I had a lot of fun there watching nice movies, going out (once!), shopping and generally spending time with amazing people. I hope I can go back there someday again! /miss

Up to date

Herro there!

How is everyone?

☆ﾐ☆ﾐ☆ﾐ

I am doing fine at the moment. The first term is pretty much over and I'm really happy with my results. I am still working on my Roccoco dress and I should get it done by next Friday.

Last time I wrote that I might fly to NL again and I decided to go for it. I booked the flight and will be staying at my friend Mika's place from 3rd to 12th February. Yay!

I am really looking forward to it and I'm trying to make some money to go on a shopaholic shopping spree there. I hope I can as well some other people I met last time again.

☆ﾐ☆ﾐ☆ﾐ

I also wanted to share some detail shots of the corset I made in school.

☆ﾐ☆ﾐ☆ﾐ

Anyways - speaking of my Roccoco dress I thought I might share the current version which is still yet to be finished. I am currently working on the skirt and gonna cluster it with beads, bows, lace and shizzle after that~

I decided to dye my hair today. I was aiming for a light, reddish brunette. However the person at the hairstylist supply store told me I had to bleach my hair before so I can get the desired colour. Did not really work that way. I'm pretty much blonde now. I still don't know how to feel about it. The good thing is that I like the actual colour - it looks vanilla-ish with a hint of honey. Let me know how you feel about it, will ya?

That's it again! Nothing more to contribute at the moment. My life's been busy with school, work and sleep. I also recently started to seriously learn Japanese. Well, so.. I will have a lot to post when I'm back from NL again I think.

♪(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉLove,
