Up to new worlds.

(Soilwork - Stabbing The Drama)

Hello world, I've got my Internet-connection back! Since today I've officially moved. Well, just a few words about it, the uni-housing is old but the people are fun. It's just sad that we've got a PS3 down there but no good games. Calls for me buying something :D
The first week now is just about exploring and discovering. I guess I'll see every pub/bar/club this week, already saw some, but the only club I was in yet was... well, not my taste. But the main topic for me this week: Metal Invasion! ^_^ I simply love festivals and the line-up is pretty amazing, though the tickets aren't expensive. Soilwork is one of the bands playing there, but the headliners are of course Amon Amarth, As I lay Dying and Bolt Thrower. I'm also already excited about Die Apokalyptischen Reiter.
And before I'm writing too much, picture flood, so you may get an idea 'bout my new room.

 Also I've got some new shirts. Well, two. Remember the voucher I had? I didn't buy shoes :D
I found similar pumps for less, so I'm gonna buy them. 80€ still is much for me. And these two blouses cost 50€ together.

 And I was searching sooooo long for a nice dark brown blouse to match my BTSSB-Alice-print-dress. Now I've got one. It's a satin-like fabric, so it's a little shiny, but I like it anyway. And I love the dark red and the peter-pan-collar of the first one.

So, keep rockin'!

A mouse on the keys and a bullet in my heart

Music by Mouse on the Keys, a Japanese jazz-whatever-I-dunno-how-to-describe - band. Heard about them from a guy that is also in my year at college, he really has a nice taste in music. Yes, I'm not only listening to rock, metal and such. Variety is the key :D And I think this band should become more popular. Statement made, let's change topic.


Well, I'm still searching for something to buy. Honestly, these boots from last post look funny, but I don't know if I'd wear them. Even at muddy festivals where I could need 'em.
So I was falling in love with these pumps:

by Moma, 270€, so freaking awesome.

But sadly... not my size. And way... I mean WAY (!) too expensive. Yep, I need to get rich. Material girl. I should rename my blog ^^

by Mai Piu Senza, 90€

 90€ is still expensive, but hey, I need to invest in key-pieces. Still... I guess I'll need money for my new room. And I've gotta decide 'til tonight, 'cause I'm on the road tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the morning. And Friday's my last day for the coupon.  Hm.

My next post will be sent from my old "home" again on Monday or Tuesday because I'm driving back home again with my parents for the rest of next week until next Friday/Saturday. The orientation week is starting only on 10th Octobre and I don't think I can get all the stuff I want to bring with me in two cars. I could, no, but I don't know exactly how big my room is. If I could find I place I want to bring my sewing machine, at least one guitar and my keyboard with me. But if the room's even tinier than my one at my parent's flat, there won't be any space for it.

I've wanted to show off one idea I've got quickly, I'm running out of time, still need to pack so many things. I saw this one at Chictopia:

 I've got a nice LBD by Charlotte (hey at this point!), it has got a lacy pattern, thin straps and a shape almost like the H&M dress above, just longer (kneelength, almost). The lady above just wore a chiffon skirt over the dress, which is simple, but very stylish and special. As I've got loads of black chiffon left from my prom-skirt I'm gonna sew a chiffon skirt for my LBD and add some chiffon on the top of the dress too. Hm. Gotta have to sketch it :D Good thing I've got free time and a sewing machine next week!

Outfit-Post: The lace-skirt

Another skirt's finished and ready-to-wear (prét-á-portér, hihi, not haute couture), that's the good thing about starting to sew different pieces, you end what you wanna like to end on that day. And honestly, I wasn't in the mood for sewing white cotton lace in an exact line. This one was easier and more effortless. But still very wearable, though it turned out really short. At least for me. I'm not used to wearing so short skirts. But as long as it covers everything... ^^
Well, here is the skirt:

And I still have my 10€-Zalando coupon... couldn't find anything 'til now. I desperately need a black bag in a handy size, classic design, not too fancy, leather. Really, there was nothing on the website I've liked! I'm also searching for classical pumps in brown, also leather, doesn't have to be real leather, the colour should be something like what they're calling "cognac" (though I'd prefer whiskey or absinth, but a pale-green bag? noooooo...), no straps, like the one I'm wearing above, means pretty high, but it'd be awesome if they had thick heels. Or even wedges would be okay. But... I can't find the perfect shoes! At least, not under 80€...
What I also need are wellies (or rubber boots), the ones I loved so much aren't in the shop anymore - get out the violins for me! - but then I saw these:

Däv Western Cowboy, 75€ reduced, with coupon 65€, still expensive for rubber boots, but these doesn't look like rubber boots :D

P.S.: Song choice, guess you know why, look at my bag ^___^
Just found it again while packing for Passau. My beloved The Nightmare Before Christmas-bag from Athens.

Paisley, Blood and Flat Shoes

Hey there,

I won't even apologize anymore for not blogging... college gets on my goat. Really. Just got my student-ID stuff and all passwords for logging in on Saturday, I've spent the whole weekend with stud.ip (a program to log in for courses at college, we also call it stup.id now. yes, even law-students are funny sometimes), finding out which courses I have to take and with filling out my application for Bafög, a repayable state grant, which catches the meaning most... Geez, I almost had a nervous breakdown meanwhile. And there also are so many other things to organize, for example moving out, there's already a facebook-group for us first-semesters, so I already have the chance to know some people when I arrive. 700 new law-students! That's huge for such a tiny university. I'm already so excited about everything that I need to detract myself from everything. With sewing and playing guitar.

I've already painted the shirt I cropped and resew, it got really bloody, guess it's just wearable on Halloween or concerts...

front

bloody back. maybe I'll add another bloodstain there.

And here's another thing I began to sew. The skirt I was drafting and posting some-when, out of remaining fabric I've found. It's not completely decorated yet. But already wearable.

Kitsch and lace-hearts. Totally Ama-Lolita. But I like it somehow. The contrast is better in original, because the fabric's a little darker.

what I wanna add are these lace-stripes. Will take some time.

also made the belt on my own. Simple elastic sewn on a metal-buckle for these kind of stretch-belts.

and here we come to the things I was shopping in Spain. These shoes here. I know, they are flat. Fucking flat. But comfortable as hell. The only bad thing about 'em is that one shoe was exposed, the other not. So one is already quite worn out, the other still a little tight on my foot.

my cheap on-sale silk-blouse! the pattern looks surprisingly nice on me. Tucked in it even creates a beautiful shape. Not tight, nicely loose, but still shows the waistline.

what I love most about the blouse are the details. Hidden button-tab and another matching fabric on the inside.

Also if anyone's reading this, sorry I don't comment on other blogs right now. So busy... but I'm sure it'll get better as soon as college's starting and everything's bought, done and clear to me.

Have a nice week!

Shoppingfinds, reconstruction and the matter of colour

New post, new post!
Geez, I don't know what I'm doing with all my time, but at the end of the day there's nothing left of it and I didn't do everything I wanted.
Tempus fugit. Ha ha, nine years of Latin and I can write that. See, it wasn't a waste of time.

Well, I just wanted to show you the last stuff I've bought. I still need to post the awesome silk blouse I bought in Spain, but it still needs some hand-washing. Time is running out. At least I can wear that in autumn too. The stuff I bought recently is from H&M, it's so strange I've found something there... I'm so bored by the clothes I see right now. Hope the autumn collections aren't just not fully in the stores...

sorry for the stupid flash, but at least the details are visible. The chiffon part goes quite deep, so I'll wear something underneath. Just when I want to provoke... 40€

my very first denim-blouse! I was searching for a long time, but now I've found the perfect one. 25€

And best thing 'bout it: The two pieces even look good together! It's a way I can wear that party dress even at a not so formal occasion.

Next thing up: The reconstruction of a T-shirt I got from my school theatre-group as a gift. It was a normal shirt in size M, not a girly shirt, with just the plain text on it (one of the better gags of our last show, for the non-german speakers, it's a persiflage to the "Get thee to a nunn'ry" sentence from Hamlet. The character in our play saying this can't spell the letter L and says N instead).
Well, 'cause I wouldn't wear it that way and because I was bored, I sewed it smaller, cut the neckline and sewed the leftovers on the border of the shirt. Now I've got a shirt-dress :D
It just needs some decoration. I'm thinking of some red splatters, but maybe some cutouts with black chiffon and safety-pins could make a nice effect too. I'll see. Monday I'm gonna take a look at the local art-store, maybe I find some matching textile paint.
However, that's how it looks now:

and by the way: It really looks better on me :D

I've already wanted to show off my new hair-colour... I just hadn't got the time to upload the pictures. Now my hair got a little lighter, it's not that intense anymore, but still more red than blond.

Now it's more like that....

freshly dyed it was more like that. Ignore the stupid face.

So, have a nice weekend! Tomorrow I'll go to a medieval pageant and I've got nothing to wear! Desperately need to sew some medieval-style clothes. But for a first try I maybe buy something there, so I can copy the cut ^^

Wanted!

(Rise Against - Anyway You Want It)

Sale at Hervia.com! And I desperately wanted Vivienne Westwood jewelery. Honestly, I love her stuff. PunkGlamourGothicCrown-Stuff, exactly the stuff I want is on sale, but still expensive... Don't know if I should or shouldn't buy it...

Well, that's the stuff:

57 £, reduced from 115 £

from 180 £ to 90 £

still thinking of 'em... from 150 to 75

not on sale, but nice though... 60p.

Geez, I need to get rich. Or die trying. Whatever.

This is the new s***

(Marilyn Manson - This is the new shit // uncensored)

Song not only chosen because it matches this post, also because my MM-fanatism has been reanimated by a little birthday gift (thanks for that at this point!).
I didn't had the time to blog or comment lately because I'm at school around the clock for theatre group, we've got our shows this week, that's where I have to go now too, so just let me show ya the new shit I've got last Friday.

Romper by Promod, 34€ on sale, looks almost like a skirt, but I couldn't dress Sisi properly because it actually is not a dress ;) 

also by Promod and on sale, got it for 15€, I want to alter it a little... redo the underskirt so I can wear a petticoat underneath

Well, bye then, have to do my hair and put some make-up on, before the girls in the mask can butcher me....

It's done, it's done :D

(In Flames - Deliver Us // a little obsessed now, cause maybe - well, not only maybe - I'll go to their concert :D)

Sorry I didn't have the time for posting yesterday... too tired. I'm still not really well, but I had to work. Hm, work... walking two hours around in the city in a funny costume handing out programmes for the theater wasn't really work, but funny. It was the same costume I wore last time and people again thought I was Capt'n Jack Sparrow ^^
And after that I was in another city nearby spending hours in the city and shopping centre because I had to waste time 'till my dog's hair got cut. Poodle... No choice.
But I've bought a romper (my very first one!) and a skirt on sale there. Photos tomorrow!

Anyway, now, the blue tunic/dress I've drawn some-when is finally finished! Very finished. No spot that doesn't fall well anymore. Proud of myself.

Oh and I've drawn down how I want to decorate a white hat... if I find one that's good enough and cheap :D The ones I saw at H&M were to flabby, another one's brim not broad enough. Nw... not easy to find the perfect hat for this :D
The plan is decorating it with a lace ribbon (light grey or something) and adding flowers on one side, but the interesting part is that I wanna glue only a few petals on the brim and on the inner brim to create an effect like in my drawing.

don't look at the stuff in the background. I was bored :D

 And my blouse from Bodyline came! Cute, isn't it? So much lace... Got it for 10€ 2nd hand, but it wasn't even worn.

Oh and I didn't introduce you to my new model: Sisi! That's the bonus I've got for my burda-sub, just about 3 months later...

I'm really not okay

...'cause I'm still feeling so weirdly happy :D
Well, let me tell just a little. I won't bore you for so long, I promise.
First I'm gonna spare you the details of getting there and how I wanted to kill my friend Charlotte who won all the tickets, because she came so late. That's why we were standing on the sides and not at the "catwalk" where Gerard was standing (or crawling). At least, he sometimes was on the normal stage too. And I saw him even from the side. But I was first row on the side, just in front of Ray, what was a great coincidence because I always filmed his fingers during his guitar-solos (because I still can't figure out some parts while listening to the records). Ehm, well playlist. They played mostly the Danger Days stuff (live waaaaaaay better than on the album), Helena and I'm not okay from the Three Cheers album and Black Parade, Teenagers and Mama from the Black Parade album. Btw., One Night Only were "fucking awesome", as Gerard said. But MCR were fucking more awesome, as I say. Geez, I've got aching neck-muscles from head-banging +___+''
Before I'm writing too much, here some photos:

Question: Can Ray see what he's playing when his hair falls into his face?

By the way, I want Mickey haircut! Well, just cut down on one side. But dark and just the long hair reddish blond. Thanks Mickey for showing me how awesome that is looking :D

Gerard: "Actually I wanted to be a showgirl! Eh? Can I go to Broadway now? Pleeeease? A chorus line should work!"

Frank: "D'ya see that poster there? Strange German girls." - Mickey: "Actually, I just think it's too hot here? Haven't they got a fucking air-condition?"- Gerard: "Juuuuust sleeeeeep - ing..." 

funny pose :D

and then, Gerard just was falling asleep. Not - of course.

jep jep, great haircut. 

want . his . guitar . *need money...* Btw., he was drinking the same beer-brand we're drinking at home :D

that catwalk I mentioned...

plus confetti-rain at the end. sooooo awesome!

 Of course I took some trophies, as a plectrum

And a new band-shirt. Had to upgrade ;)

I spent some time waiting at the railway station, because my male escort (feel greeted Alex ^^) arrived a little later. That gave me the opportunity to shop at the station. Well... I've found a necklace with a scissor and studs. That's why I hadn't got money left at the end of the day...

But I think it was worth it! ;D

Of course I show you what I was wearing. It really was a lolita-skirt in the end, though I didn't wear my best petticoat under it (would be flat at the end of the day, and I haven't ordered the heavier tulle yet) and a band-shirt, at the beginning I even wore heels, but it was too dangerous to wear heels at the concert, so I changed shoes as I arrived at my front row place ;) Didn't want the guys behind me to have aching feet because of me hopping on their foot with heels.

 Sorry the last two came out so blurry, guess the camera was not set at the right program. Everyone got such a "Na" poster for Na Na Na. Which was the opener of course! :D

So, if you've read the whole stuff, congratulations. I'm still somehow like on drugs. Of course I came home at 1 o'clock in the morning, but still wasn't tired at the show on Sunday. Didn't even use the hospital bed behind the stage ^^

Have a nice week! *waves goodbye*
