Haul: Something I have

(music: NIN - Something I can never have //still// )

Not many words, but many pictures:

The sheer skirt I was sewing in one hour... or so.

Now the four long cardigans, each one 10€ because the shop closed :D - the black one

the nude one

detail of it.

same colour as some tights I've got - but in reality not as flashy as in this pic

the gray one

ruffles ^_^

the most beautiful hat... 50€ in a second hand shop

15€, also from that 2nd hand shop, it's still a little plain, so I'll add something to it

detail of the leather bow

Haul: The Black Corset

(Depeche Mode - Stripped // noooo, not the Rammstein version. Though I like both versions.)


I guess some of you are curious about my new corset. I hadn't got the chance to wear it 'til now, because the last week/weekend end everything had been crazy (in a positive way!) but at least, a little preview:

Next up is my outfit for a birthday party I've attended this weekend, but THEN the next outfit post is one with this corset on. I want to get it fully closed in at least one year. Wish me strength :D

Pray for me

(Samsas Traum - Betet für mich)

Today I wanted to show you my new halfbusk-corset. But it seems like this corset is kinda damned. First the postman didn't knock, seems like he's already pissed off that I'm ordering everything online. I know he didn't because I was home all Saturday morning. Well, so I had to go to the post-office to get my parcel. I did that today 'cause I had an appointment nearby anyway.
I'm walking to the office, already wondering why everything seems so dark inside. Then I'm spotting a note on the window: Due to internal bullshit we're closed on 15th November. Fuuuuuuuck oooooooff!
It's always so far to walk there. And I've gotta go tomorrow again, though I don't have much time 'cause I'm going to a concert. Fuck off everyone, really. Now I am pissed off.

But I've found something different by accident. I may already have written I'm searching for a golden candlestick holder. A classical five-armed one. Golden is the problem here. I'm only seeing silver ones. Silver wouldn't match my mirror.
Then I've found something even better:

candle holder: "ring of fire", at Butler's, 9,99€, for those who wanna know

 Freakin' awesome and useful little thing. Black matches everything and my Mansinthe bottle has a use besides looking artsy and making me want to get drunk. It also looks nice on wine bottles. Perfect combination, isn't it? And maybe I'll find the perfect golden candlestick holder too.
Another thing I've discovered in the city: An antiquarian bookseller. Directly behind the dome, huge, full of books, you enter the shop and get high on the smell of old books. Oh I'm lovin' this. I guess I'll spend hours in this shop. Today I just bought an Anthology of horror short-stories. Poe, Hemingway, Harvey, even a Dickens one, I'm already excited reading it. Sadly I've got so much to do for university right now. I'm directly off studying after finishing this post. It's incredible. I'm just in my first semester and I'm already driving mad.
At least I already know where to go to when I want to clear my head.

Outfit Post and Perfume Review

( The Cure - Pictures of you // live version )


Hey there, readers!
Two things in this post now - a two in one post. That's what I call efficiency, hell yes.
Sorry if I seem strange, I seem strange to everyone these days.
First off, outfit post. I bought that nice H&M skirt on sale. Only 10€, for a skirt I wanted to buy in spring. I've decided I could sew something like that easily back then, but then I discovered that it ain't easy to find pleated fabric. You can't see it so well, but it is pleated. I'm wearing pleated midi chiffon skirts in autumn, yes. But it's ridiculously warm here. And with warm tights you even can wear summer dresses in winter. Oh and the colour of the dots matches my jacket so well. Like my hair has the same colour as the leaves in the background. However, I'm writing silly stuff. I should stop. Now.

As I have told ya: I'm behaving strangely. Twirling around... stupid me.

Well then, second point: I've bought myself the perfume by Dita von Teese. I couldn't resist.
So, that's "Femme Totale":

It smells exactly like I've imagined. Classy, adult and not sweet and girly like other celebrity fragrances. The perfect perfume for autumn/winter and the nights. I'd say that even if I wasn't a Dita-fangirl. For me - and I've got a cold, so my nose ain't working too well - the strongest elements are the so often mentioned Bulgarian rose and jasmine. What surprised me most is that the perfume still has a strong heart note even after a whole day. I guess my dress still smells like the perfume tomorrow. Even my Prada infusion d'Iris isn't staying so long.

Hm, so I'm taking another deep breath of that gorgeous perfume now and dream of posing as glamorous as Dita:

So then,
have a nice week ^___-
