Cats, meetups, photos and horror movies

Last weekend I visited Tenna at her parents' house. They have a dog and six cats. Their newest member is this cute little kitten that Tenna's mom rescued recently. She was so cute :3 It was a lovely day spent mostly inside mostly watching Supernatural and Mighty Boosh, hehe :D

The latest issue of Starlight Magazine was also revealed this week.


Besides a couple of mini features, I did two "minor" shoots. The Harry Potter selfportraits and the Hunter Loli shoot. Have look:

  



More photos can be viewed at my photoblog.

Yesterday I went to a meetup to celebrate the 1st anniversary of Danish Frills, which is a Danish forum focusing solely on Lolita fashion. We went to A.C. Perchs Tearoom which was a lovely place with a wonderful atmosphere. Everything was so luxurious.




I drank white temple tea, ate small sandwiches and scones with lemon curd and everything was absolutely delicious.





Tenna and I had decided to be really fancy, so we both had big hair XD I tried doing this Marie Antoinette inspired hair do as shown in this video. But next time I think it needs to be a bit bigger ^^

I made this hairpiece from a decorative garland I had lying around.

After the meetup, five of us went to the cinema to watch The Woman in Black. We had plenty of time before the movie started, so we took some outfit shots and then went a had something to warm to drink in the café at the cinema.

 

Dress: Aatp
Blouse: Dear Celine
Cardigan: Louise
Tights (two pairs layered): H&M
Shoes: Bodyline

The shoe choice was sort of a last minute thing, and next time I'm wearing this outfit, I would prefer to wear something more elegant ^^ 



The movie was really good. I'm not one for horror movies, but since it's Daniel Radcliffe starring, I had to see it. I think he did really well. It was really scary, though, I found myself burying my face in my fox stole aka. George so many times and continuously bursting out "Dude!" and muttering to myself "nonononono", lol XD

But then again, I'm really not one for horror movies. ;)

So yeah, check out the trailer if you haven't already :D

Afterwards, Tenna and I went back to my place and watched Mighty Boosh, really tired and worn out from being out in the cold.

And to finish this entry, I'd like to show you two of my recent purchases:


Fresh out of the box ;)

These shoes from Vivienne Westwood. Gosh, I've been sighing over these for so long now, so when I found them in this colour and my size, I had to go for it. They are so freaking comfortable and they smell like bubblegum, haha :D
I love them so much, I wish I could get a pair too in gold, lol ;)





The other thing is this dress from Metamorphose:

I remember seeing this print back when I was starting out in Lolita and I just loved the cats on it! Ever since I've been keeping my eye out for the right colour and version. I found this on mbok for just about 4000JPY. I think it's really cute and it has a really nice length, although not as much width in the skirt as I would have liked, but oh well :)

Btssb Lucky Pack

This is my outfit from last weekend when Tenna came over for some sewing and Harry Potter movie watching.

Dress+bag: Baby the stars shine bright
Cardigan: Vero Moda
Shoes: Deichmann
Jewelry: H&M
Hairaccessories: Accessorize

I wanted to do something new with my hair, so I tried this do. I received this dress in the mail recently. It's Baby's Blooming Snow White print which I also have in pink. I was so happy when I found this dress, because it was in the colour that I originally wanted. :3

I've been doing some more shopping lately. I bought one of Baby's lucky packs :D It's my first lucky pack, yay. I figured it would be safe enough seeing as I liked all the colours available and the sizes were listed. The shipping price was insane and when I picked up the package on at the post office, I saw why. The box it came in was huge, at least twice as big as what would've been necessary. The lucky pack came in a pink tote bag, but haven't taken any photos of that, but here are the contents:

The headbow

The bag. It's cute, but really tiny, lol

The blouse. It's so adorable

The dress

and finally the socks.

I was so thrilled when I opened the tote bag and saw that it was this colour that I had gotten. As I said earlier, I liked all three colours, but I was really hoping for this one. I love this tartan red with the white lace. It's reminds me of old school lolita and also one of Momoko's dresses in Kamikaze girls.

The fabric of the dress is so lovely, thick and comfortable, with lots of cute details like Baby's dresses usually have. How to know it's a lucky pack dress? There's no zipper, which I guess makes sense, as the manufacturing process would be more expensive then. But the whole back of the bodice is shirred, so there's no trouble putting on the dress. :)

Here's my outfit for today:

Dress, bag  & headbow: Btssb
Cardigan: Louise
Shoes: Bodyline
Necklace: handmade (not by me, though)

I've just been at home today working on my stuff for next issue of Starlight Magazine. We have a "Nerdy Lolita" theme coming up, so I've been doing some Harry Potter stuff. And Tenna and I have also talked about doing a Supernatural/Lolita shoot on Sunday. Should be interesting, yes? ;)

One last thing: Teaparty shoes. I've always been fascinated by all the lovely colours they're made in and how when you see other Lolis' wardrobes some have a pair in each colour. They're pretty cute. I've been wanting to get some for a while, but I've been worried that they would be too Sweet for my wardrobe. But when I saw that Secret Shop only had a few pairs left in stock in my size, I couldn't resist getting them. 

I wrote Clobba online to inquire when they would restock the other colours and if more colours would be made. They replied and said that they wouldn't restock for a really long time, maybe never for some colours. I don't know, it seems a little unrealistic that they should never make these shoes in the larger sizes again, nevertheless, I went and bought two pairs:

Pink

Lavender

I'm looking forward for the weather to get warm enough to actually be able to wear these outside. It'll probably be a while ;)

Lastly, I'm closing in on 100 followers and would like to announce that I will hosting a big giveaway when I reach 100 (or when my next taobao order arrives, whichever comes first ;)).

The new Starlight issue is out

Since my last update, I've been super busy finishing things for my two shoots for Starlight Magazine. The latest issue was just released on the 14h and here is an excerpt of the shoot I did:

Doll shoot with Lone and Tenna

We did this shoot up in the attic in my building. It was really tricky to get a decent lighting,
but you can read more about this shoot here.

A ballerina and a soldier doll

Death and the Maiden shoot with Ariellah and Stine.

Ariellah as the Little Match Girl/Maiden

Stine as Death

Read about and see the whole the shoot here.

I was busy sewing for these two shoots. I made the soldier girl's skirt, the cape and maiden dress.

I couldn't find a suitable blouse, so I improvised by adding sleeves to the jumperskirt.

Death's cape - a big pain in the butt to sew. Just saying.

And my Scent of Rapunzel arrived a while back:

I hope you'll all have a nice christmas tomorrow :D
