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 :)

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*

Dress: Metamorphose

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 ;)

My favourite prints

I was a bit bored earlier, so I made this list of my favourite prints (in no particular order):

Forest Harvest from IW

This is so cute with the small animals *__* I loved this print in all three colours it was released in..

Sleeping Beauty from AatP

I love fairy tales, especially Sleeping Beauty, so this was an instant love.

Vampire Requiem from AatP

I'm a huge vampire lover too, haha :D

St. Mephisto's Cathedral from AatP

This is my ultimate Dream Dress! It is everything I want my style of Lolita to be. The combination of classic and sweet is totally my thing and the purple colour is to die for <333
Cat print from Meta

Big cat lover XD This was actually one of the first prints I really liked. It's that darn black cat that charms me, hehe, it's so cute :3


Swanlake from Meta

Meta really outdid themself with this print *_*

Cinderella print from IW

I actually like the brown version of this print the best, but I couldn't find a good picture of that. This is a dress where everything just works.. for me anyway ;)
