Autumn coat obtained

So yes yes yes, I found myself a perfect coat for an incredible low price and I'm just so happy about it, because it's exactly how I wanted it to look and the color is perfect to :D!

 It's a high waist coat that get much wider at the bottom and is perfect for all fluffy skirts I have as well as for less frilly ones. I'm now wearing a simple skirt for work so you cant see much volume, but I'll show you it in the future:)

 It even has a little bump so I am able to wear it with any bustle skirt :) I have one for now. I counted that I have 20 skirts and no trousers at all. So I'll try to stop on purchasing more skirts.. I'll try.

 It goes really well with my new Antique Clock purse from Restyle.pl and I love those protruding shoulders. It's made from wool and acrylic. Not the warmest thing but it should do it's best for next couple months. It costed me $4 so... yeah :D

How more perfect can it be? :D

Korp Goth....I guess

Good news! After being unemployed for some time I finally went to a job interview!!! And nailed it!!! How else could it be. I tried my best to look presentable with the wardrobe I have at home. And the new red ornamented summer/spring coat I got just added poshness to my looks :D I already had experience in the sphere and good recommendations.

I'm so happy!!! The working hours are superb and it's only 15 minutes away from my home (on foot) :D

The other more sad news are that Nyphadora got stuck in window while we were away. Trying to escape she damage her leg quite a lot. Apparently half opened windows are terrible dangerous for a cat and ours was very lucky to get out with just a wound. It's healing and she has to wear that satellite thing again. Poor thing. It would have never crossed my mind. I guess she was chasing a beetle and her leg got cough. As any animal that is trapped, she began to struggle in panic to free her pawn and that caused a major wound on her upper joint.

She still runs and jumps on table like mad. If I got a wound like that I would be fainting every time I see it not to mention  I would not be able to move. She got lucky, we got lucky. Read about the dangers of half opened windows here if you are not familiar with it. It can save your cats life.

Sorry for the massive photo editing. I just laid my hands on new program and got to carried away :p

Gothically yours,

Extra happy Countess

Maxi skirt

Not much of an outfit, but... I love maxi skirts when summer comes. The wide gypsy style cotton or linen skirts are the best. It dances around my legs when you walk and hides the bruises I always have. The little hit is enough for it to appear and I manage to hit every bench or corner on my way. So my legs are always marked :D oh, black... I love you so much. You are the happiest and most tranquil colors of all (at least for me) ;) 

Accessories

Bag with a hand made bat bow.( just glued it with hot glue)

Alchemy Gothic "Sacred Heart"

Ankh pendant and leather  bracelet from local shop

Black deer - foe pendant made by me. The silver version of it will be at my shop as soon as I get my cameo frames :)  

***

I got my second order of perfume oil from Midnight Gypsy Alchemy. I ordered "Season of the Witch" and "Chocolate Mystique" is next. Due the fees I would have to pay for an purchase over 28 dollars it's better for me to order one at a time. But since I got a big bottle now I can calmly start to collect others :)

Ace of Spades for modern Alice

I think, I'm addicted to those scarfs... T_T

I think I didn't posted it here before :)

Simple but nice. I found that I feel most comfortable when I combine Lolita with more daily items like denim jacket and boots. It tones down sweetness of Lolita which sometime bites me...

And to come with it here a new Alice in Wonderland necklace

"Ace for Alice"

Available  at Deadly Cherries shop on Etsy

There will be more coming ;)

Strawberries and denim jaket

Here comes an outfit post. Always easy to make and almost always fun to read (or watch). 

 This skirt for sure needs bloomers. I Usually wear ones, but this time I skipped it and... I  wasn't that relaxed every time the wind tried to catch it. Luckily he was unlucky :D

Simple classic cardigan with fake pearl buttons wore over a simple T - Shirt. Topped with a denim jacket, flower decorated tights and black boots.

Oh, and a Ruby Gloom hand bag. I now somehow have a whole collection of different bags of this character. Though the cartoon itself did not amused me at all.

Nimphadora all big and black

Day outfit and some more

It was warm weather outside, so we decided to take a walk. Maybe wearing just a denim jacket wasn't such a good idea. It was quite windy and someone seems to cough a cold. But here's some photos of my outfit. Our cat looks so big now. The spring is making her crazy. 

                                      

Skirt is hand made by me and it gives all the elegance to the outfit. I like that bright  red and black combination :) I'm wearing a simple cardigan and a black denim jacket. I know the scarf is not the best solution but it was windy and I'm kinda addicted to them at the moment :) I wanted to pull something more sweet but still Gothic and not so childish as most of Lolita are.

I notice that many bloggers are leaving their blogs. They stop writing or post really rare. And I feel the same sometimes. Like there's not much to say and just posting pictures is... Well, I got tumblr for that :D I promise to myself to make interesting post and then somehow it ends with that. I try to remember what I like about other blogs. Yes, it's usually outfits, DIY stuff and photos. But I feel strange leaving so many info on the internet about me. I don't post much info on Facebook anymore. I rarely use it. It's getting boring there and I see no point in pushing "likes" and sharing links :) I like the free flow of tumblr. I signed there for photos since it's really easy to post and heart the post you like so you could find them later. I'm following some Lolita  threads and some Gothic ones. I guess I need new inspiration. :) I should change the look of this blog too :)

P.S. I made the Bat Berry... ;)

Coord post: Black and wine

So, I usually like to work with two colors. On of them of course is black :D  I Find dark red or wine color to be one of my favorite. So I can easily pick matching accessories for my skirt which is usually the item that gets to be other color then black in my coords :) I always look for little details that would match the color of the skirts I have. If it's a hand made one, I always try to leave some fabric for a matching bow or cuffs or anything else that would give a nice touch to an outfit. 

So, the pieces I wear:

• Demonia heels (they give more mature look that ones from Bodyline so I like to switch time to time).
• Off brand velvet skirt. Bought second handed And was trimmed with black lace and a ribbon.
• Pirate jacket - Fan plus Friend bought from a fellow Lolita on EGL sales.
• Off brand shirt (Ebay)
• Alchemy Gothic pendant. I'm second owner.
• Hair: Flower pin (Ebay) and hand made bow clip.
• Purse second handed. I love to hunt for purses :D

 I like this jacket a lot :) It's quite wide open, so all the laces can be seen :) 

It's funny, but when my closet was all just average Gothic I had a hard time to dress for the occasions like weddings or grand birthdays of my siblings. Now it's easy  :D I won't look too dramatic but still be able to dress elegant and dark. But after all I find that it's hard to stick just to one or two styles. Sometimes I even feel like going cyber :D Lucky for my I can DIY most of the stuff so no big traumas to my wallet. But it still get hurts time to time :D Lolita hurt it the most thought :D I just cant to resist all those beautiful frill and they are way more difficult to DIY ;) Even if I could easily make Lolita JSK, sometime it's nice to have something made buy someone else.

Daily outfit: over knee socks

Well,today  it's classic Lolita inspired outfit. I tried the hair bow today. Still not my favorite thing...

The skirt is the one I made. A little bit of color into the all black coord.

Socks... I still prefer tight. Some how I feel more comfortable with them. The kinda look good but it tried to roll down all the time. It's a little bit annoying

Waving for  the sailors :D They were just marching trough my room :D
.

Everything else is my old jacket, bat bag and a jewelry peace I bought from an old lady from handicraft market. I wear a simple black top under the jacket. Well, but there is no use in putting much effort in it during the winter. I do it just for fun. Damn, how I wish for the spring to come...

Waiting for Christmas just becouse

I got up early. I had plans to go to a birthday party of an old friend ( some photos later maybe) so I had to get a present. It's cold outside. A real bad ass winter. And I am not a fan of winter... So sweater is a must thing :)

I have two more skirts under this one. A black for the length and a  Kera punk one to give a little bit volume.  The outfit is simple, but also is the day.

My beautiful skirt stuck in a custom :( I have send all the documents I had. I guess there was no documents outside the box. I'll have to mention it to Clobba next time I'll be buying from them. Good thing is that my gift for my boyfriend also arrived. I was afraid it will took longer since it's a holiday season. I showed him the item some month before just to see what he thinks an he was like  "OMG!!!" And then I had an evil smile. He has no idea I'm getting it :D You, my dear readers, will see it after the Christmas (I don't want any info to leak :D) 

I'm finally getting a new laptop. The first thing that came into my mind was "Now we can play Minecraft together!" I'll make him to create me a special skin :D He had an Ulquiorra for himself . I want a Lolita :D

What else... Oh oh. More dresses. I'm a big spender I know. But it's winter. I have a right to spoil myself :D

Its actually a jumper skirt (JSK) from Bodyline.

I ordered this one in black. The front pink ribbons will be change to black latter and the pink lacing on the bag will be removed. I saw this dress on Walrus blog  and I loved it. As sweet as it is, the pink can be toned down by black accessories and give to this dress really nice and elegant look. The main thing of course is the print. I love it. I want my wardrobe to maintain in Gothic stile be it Lolita or anything else. So I just wanted to try and see if a bittersweet print, accompanied by Gothic accessories and dark colors can actually look good on me. 

I would love to have such prints as... 

The Alice and The Pirates Vampire prelude or 

The Alice and The Pirates The black cat, witch and the apple tree

And one day I will and Vampire prelude is gonna be an original. But as totally noob I first want to see if I can coordinate it easily with cheaper brands :)

The other one is a black JSK from the same brand.

I made a decision to order it after reading a review on The Walrus room. It's so beautiful. And you can tone it down for everyday looks by wearing a plain black blouse under it and a simple bolero or you can pimp it up by choosing an elegant princess style blouse with bell sleeves. 

It's fun to be your own Santa :D

Game of Thrones, weekend outfit and other routine of a Countess

Finally  I had a chance to go home this weekend. I haven't seen my parents since summer I guess. So staying at my dad's hause was few days of totally relaxation away from my sewing table witch is making me crazy. Since I'm a person of no patterns I try do do everything just by taking a look. I use no patterns. And they ARE NEEDED sometimes... 

I'm glad I'll finally got my winter coat. It's way to cold now with the thin one I had and now I can be sure I won't get cold and won't have to wear 2 sweaters when I go outside. I also snatched a cardigan from attic. All unused stuff  are kept there as well as some season clothes. So I found a high collar blouse, a shrug and a white T shirt for reconstruction.
I also had a chance to dress up as a doll :D It was fun for me and since we played "Game of Thrones" all Saturday, I just had to look royally :D

I played for Baratheon house :D

Love the motto :D 

The game devoured almost 5 hours of our time. Not to mention we had to leave it and to finish it the next morning :D So I definitely recommend it if you enjoyed the book and the TV series. 

We were leaving on Sunday. My sister entered the room when I was putting on my fourth skirt layer. That's how I travel with them to keep them smooth. She asked "Why do you do that?". "Because it's fun" - I answered.

The last day coordination was my favorite. I decided that the wide sleeves are definitely my favorite ones and that the black color suits me best.

 And yes... I colored my hair black again... 

Blouse - off brand.

Corset - Ebay

Sleeves - attachable, made by me.

Cardigan - reconstructed from an old dress.

Skirt - an off brand. I added ribbon a and black lace.

Shoes - borrowed from sister just for this photo.

The coordination with the white collar cutsew and a white underskirt was nice but not as nicely dark and warm.

Blouse - a cutsew from a simple long sleeve and lace

Cardigan - off brand

Cosrset - Ebay

Skirt reconstructed from a large off brand skirt

Underskirt -  made by me.

Well,I like this outfit as well as the first one, is just I don't really know about the white collar. Maybe it's not so bad. :)

I got payed for a purchase few days ago and was all like "oh, a new dress!!!" but it was so hard to pic which one I wan't ( since I want so many) that  my eyes started to hurt. I decided that it's silly and left that matter. I still got a lovely JSK and a dress I haven't worn jet. 

But since inner shopaholic was still roaring I decided to spend them on my darling Haru ( who is a ball jointed doll from Luts company). He was sleeping in his box since we got a cat. At first I was afraid the cat will scratch him, then I got involved with Lolita and started to sew everything for myself. I took him out time to time just to feast my eyes on his beauty. But today I decided that I might actually get him new boots and that super expensive wig that cost actually more then mine :D I still can't decide  should it be grey or white... So I'll start making an wonderful Gothic dandy boy outfit for him and then we'll see what wig and shoes will suit him best. 

Oh!! And there is an Event on Luts site. And the limited edition boy got my attention too... 

:3.... I don't know what it is with deer and me these days :D

Oh, he would be perfect pairing for my cold looking Haru...

P.S. As my track number shows, the Bodyline shoes I've ordered is already at the post office. I hope to receive next day :)

Hand made Lolita inspired skirt

So here it is - my first handmade Lolita  inspired skirt. Not a reconstruction. I sew it from a fabric I bought at a fabric shop near my home.

 As you can see, hundreds of kitties are dwelling on my skirt.

  I bought one meter of fabric. And it was hardly enough. So I think for a girl like me who wears size 36 the amount of fabric should be at least 1,5 meter. The fabric was 1,20 cm wide so I cut in in half and had 60 cm x 100 cm  wide pieces. The seams stole about a 1 cm each and I had to cut about 10 cm wide strip for the waist, so the bottom of the skirt is about 175 cm. I think this is the minimum width for a skirt you should make or else it wont sit nicely on you. Next time I'm going for 2,5 meter.  The making was simple. I sewed one side of a fabric to make one long piece, then I sewed the bottom laces and decorative laces on the front. Only then I sew the other side together, gathered it and sew the waist on. Here's the scheme. 

 I still don't like the bows. I'm thinking about getting more fabric and making them bigger...

By the way, I made this shrug too. But I'll leave the close up investigation of it for the next post :)

UPDATE!!!!

 I replaced little bows with big black ones. I think it looks much better now.

Day outfit: Casual Gothic Lolita inspired

 So I went to check some fabrics today. The weather is cold and I hate it. My warm coat is at my fathers house and I need to go 300 km to pick it.  It takes 3 hours to go there by train. I think I'll have to do that on weekend, because it's getting to cold with my thin autumn coat. Here's today outfit. 

High collar black shirt, striped shrug, high waist skirt, moss green stockings. I'm wearing a puffy kera punk skirt under this one to give it at least some shape.

The big sleeves can be removed. I made them myself. I would were them if I would go to meet someone at a cafe or other place. But since I was off to do some shopping, it stayed at home. I just wanted to show it to you ;) 

Here's the short sleeves. I'm still thinking should I order the petticoat or make it myself. 

Make up is quite light. I put black shadows on the corners and blended it with dark brown. The hair is simple too. Just two pony tails. I'd love to have some black flowers in it. I'll make something nice and acceptable for me to wear. Bows are just not my type of hair accessory. But I do think that hair accessories complete the look ;)

 One of my purses I have. I think it fits perfect with this outfit.

 There is a bat bow on it. I made it myself and attached with hot glue. I saw the purse on charity shop and decided that I really need it. It's a perfect little light purse when all you take with yourself is phone, perfume, wallet and home keys;)

And here's my today catch. Demonia black faux suede charade.

They need a little bit cleaning  I wanted Demonia charades for long time, so I picked them despite that they were a little bit small for me. I'll try to wear them at home to see if they will stretch a little. I know there a tricks to make shoes bigger. I have real suede heels that were small at first but I sprayed the inner part with alcohol and walked with them at home and they stretched and now a perfect. If these Demonia beauties will do the same, I'll decorate them to look more fancy, if not, I'll try to trade it into something similar :/

"The heel is about 11 cm and the platform is about 5 cm. So the real high of the heel is 6 cm and they are quite comfortable to walk" - that's what I said to the cashier when she asked are they comfortable to wear. She replayed that the running in these still wouldn't be comfortable. I laughed and said that I'm not wearing them for jogging :D She smiled to my answer :)

Thats' all. Thanks for reading :3
