Photoshoots & new skirts

First off I want to share the photos I did for Starlight Magazine. On my photography blog, you can view both the Red Riding Hood shoot I did with Emilie, Stine and Tenna - and also a couple of Sleeping Beauty selfportraits.

Last Sunday, Tenna and I had wonderful day of sewing and watching Supernatural. Here's her entry on about that day. 

Here's what I wore:

I recently bought this skirt off mbok.jp. It's probably my favourite print that Meta has ever done.

While Tenna was busy sewing her dress and turning a cardigan into an awesome bolero, I was working on this chiffon skirt. Initially, I wanted a soft cream coloured chiffon fabric, but I found the colour in the fabric store to be too bright, then I saw this beautiful powder coloured chiffon with dot embroidery on a mannequin and fell in love.

I'm travelling to Wales in May and one of the photoshoots I'm go to do there is going to be inspired by nymphs. So I wanted some soft and flowy, but also, I really wanted to make something that I would be able to wear afterwards - preferably with lolita.

So I based my design on this skirt by Victorian Maiden:

I was probably only about half-way done with my skirt by the end of the day. The dotted chiffon was extremely tricky to work with and the serger seemed to really want to test my patience. I found the 'normal' chiffon that I used for the lining easier to work with. Anyway, but I finished the rest of the skirt this week and here is the result:

Tenna and I have another date with the sewing machine tomorrow, where I'm to going try my hand at making a dress. Should be interesting :)

Little Red Ridinghood

Hi there!

Last Saturday Tenna and I went to Stofsalg (which is a fabric store) to look for some material for accessories. This shop has a lot of different types of fabrics and colours than the chain-fabric stores in Denmark, which is great, but they're also a bit more expensive. There were a lot of interesting stuff - such as pink and purple feston lace and cute tulle lace in different colours, but we didn't buy anything.

We went back to my place and hung out, watching Beauty and the Beast while eating cake and attempting to make accessories. We were kind of tired, so we didn't do much, haha.

In the spirit of Halloween, I decided to wear an outfit inspired by Little Red Ridinghood.

I have received my IW dress, but I haven't had time to take some pics of it yet, so you'll have to wait seeing it, hehe :3

New layout: In reverie, Beauty & the Beast

I gave my blog a makeover today. I've been wanting to do a new layout for a while now, but everytime I've sat down determined to do something about it, I've had too many ideas and been unable to just pick one thing. But today I suddenly got this very specific idea and decided to go with that.

It's very different from and much darker than my previous layout, but truth be told, my old one was in kind of an unusual colourscheme for me - in terms of layouts anyway.

This one reminds me of the layouts I used to do when I was in upper secondary school 5-6 yeas ago, haha. I practically lived to make graphics back then when greatestjournal.com still existed. Since it crashed I think you can count the layouts I've done on one hand.

This one is far from perfect, but I like it - despite its egotripping, lol :3

Beauty and the Beast came out on DVD in Denmark last Tuesday FINALLY! I 've been waiting for it to come out for, well, years, I think! It's my favourite Disney movie.

I watched it on Thursday when I had the day off. It was awesome, both the movie and having the day off ;)

I also made this new all-black headbow.

(yeah, my hair is two toned and I kind of hate it)

It only took me about half the time than it took to make the ivory one which thrilled me a bit, haha.

I haven't decided yet if I'm going to decorate this one. I really want to make one with gold lace+decorations to match the outfit from my previous post, but I can't find any gold lace. I'm also going to make one with silver lace like Tenna did, because that looked awesome =]

A weekend well spent :]

This weekend has been the best I've had in a really long time, and after working eight long days in a row, it was welcomed with open arms. I spent it with Tenna of Girl ever after and it was filled with loli goodness. Tenna and I have been working together for about 4? 5? months and it is so wonderful to finally have someone to talk to about Lolita. :3

Yesterday we met up to go buy supplies for making hair accessories. Unfortunately, the shop we really wanted to go to was closed, but we went to a couple of other craft stores and found what we needed.

We also went to a café named La Glace and it was the most wonderful place. It had such a lovely old fashioned interior and is also the oldest cafés/confectioneries in Copenhagen. This is how one of their display windows looked:



Macarons! I'd never tried those before, but we bought a few (they were ridiculously expensive) and they were quite good.



I had one with lemon and one with blueberries. OMNOMNOM :D

Then we went back to my place and started crafting. Tenna taught me how to make a headbow - YAY :D It was a lot of work - blood, sweat and tears! A bit too literally, about the blood anyway, haha, stupid needles ;)

Though, I'm really happy with the result and I really want to make more.



The charms are a small heart lock and heart key.

Then we had pizza and watched Penelope while ordering from Bodyline. It was an awesome day =D

My outfit:

Lol, apparently I can't turn my bag the right way. There's a big bow on the other side *rolls eyes*

Today we went to a flea market, but I'll talk about that in another post, because I need to take pics of what I bought first ;)
