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.

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.

Today's Christmas Eve!

Hello there.

Today's Christmas Eve! Eek! (´・ω・)ﾉ★*ﾟ

Sorry I didn't really feel like blogging the last few weeks.

My life's quite busy with school, work and friends.

However I'm currently working on my historical roccoco costume in school. It's going quite well. Of course it's a shitload of work but I knew that before I even started.

The design changed a bit though. I went for a softer look focusing on creamy white and apricot. It's still gonna be clustered with pearls and lace though.

(o´∀｀o)

By the way I must have had my first blog anniversary without even noticing it. Haha :D Wish I'd be as active and inspired as I was when I began blogging.

☆彡

I'm planning to go to NL again in the semester holidays! It was a kind of spontaneous idea. I'm working on a coat for my mom's friend and a vest for another friend of hers. So that's gonna at least cover the flight. Pretty excited actually. I didn't book yet but I'm planning the trip atm. Still need to decide where to stay for the most practical reasons.

☆彡

My friend Mali worked on a BJD face up for me for some time. I told her I want something gyaru-inspired. I'm really happy with the result so I decided to share it here!

☆彡

And last but not least a recent pic of myself. My hairstyle is so versatile! It's short everywhere but on the top. So I can style it, leave it unstyled, curl it, slick it back or whatever!

I love my fake fox fur scarf! H&M ♥

Enjoy your holidays!

aka. Merry Christmas.

Lolita meet-up and artsy stuff

Hi theree!~~

How are you?

☆ﾐ☆ﾐ☆ﾐ

Last Saturday there's been a local Lolita meet-up that I attended. We met up in front of the Volkstheater and took some pictures.

We had to wait ages for everyone to arrive. Of course I was there 10 minutes too early just to be sure. Haha~ However when everyone was there we took some more pictures and asked a passenger to take a group pic of us. After that we had dinner at an Austrian restaurant.

Later there would've been a concert of the band Lolita Komplex but I wasn't able to attend that sadly. But I heard there's gonna be another one in December so it's not that bad.

Since I didn't know what to wear I've sewn a frilly shirt the night before.

Excuse my derpy face. Here's what I wore:

Tophat: customized by me

Black frilly shirt: made by me

Vampire Requiem vest: made by me; fabric from Oo Jia

Shorts: customized by me

I enjoy sewing rori-able stuff for myself! ♪(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ

☆ﾐ☆ﾐ☆ﾐ

On Friday I went to a fabric store and bought lots of unnecessary stuff. As always.. ε-(´・｀) ﾌ

A lovely hot pink rep, a tiny white/peachy stripe and an old wooden spool of bordeaux yarn.

A soft, orange-y polka dot cotton, peachy lace trims and pearl buttons.

A light black white stripe, cotton lace trim and polyester lace.

As you can tell I'm slightly obsessed with lace.. (o*･ω･)ﾉ

☆ﾐ☆ﾐ☆ﾐ

I also promised to post more of the stuff I'm working on in school. For now all you get is the finished design. (ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ

Gonna work with apricot-coloured brocade fabric, light rose-patterned organza and soft creamy grosgrain. And of course lots of lace, frills, bows and pearls! (ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ

Next time I'll show you the almost-finished pannier underskirt!

Hope you liked this post!

Love,

Pato ☆ﾐ
