And here is Alice in her lovely black and red dress during one of the game scenes.

Dolls outfit: red and black

Red and black is one of my favorite combinations. I often use it not only for myself, but for my dolls to.  And as the host posted a doll herself, I thought I can joint :) Here is my 60 cm tall boy from doll company LUTS. The sculpt is Abadon and I names him Haru which means "spring" in Japanese. These photos are from the last big meet up we had. Entire outfit is made by me. Even the boot are modified platform boot I bought and made them to look more biker boots. The accessories, the jacket, pants and shirt are designed and sewed by me as well as the gloves he wears :) The wig is "Monique" wig. They are super soft and amazing quality wigs. Their site has crappy photos of them, but nobody need better, since they now hove superb it actually are. Damn, my hair are not that soft as this synthetic fiber :D 

All photos are made by Šarūnas Genys so please no posting without linking.

Same doll different wig. This one is made by me from an old human size wig.

My darling stands here with no sport :) as well as in all other photos. He's a tough one :) And since I know his possibilities I like to pose him in more challenging poses that are more realistic:)

"what's up ladies"?

Two hotties  below are not mine. The white-hair cutie belongs to my friend Egura and red jacket rabbit - to Yuki.

Tartan dress and coffin bag

Continuing this red and black week, here's new coord.

 The west is Punk Rave from a local Goth shop as well as my New Rock ( closed already)

Dress itself is second handed. The coffin bag was purchased from a girl I know. The funny thing is that when I was buying it she told me. "Wear it often, because you'll grown out soon of it" I wondered if she knew then I was older then her. But I still love this coffin bag. It's just it cant carry a lot of stuff and that is not good for everyday use for me.

 I usually wear short or bloomers under such short dresses. I feel more comfortable that way...

I usually finish my outfit coordination right before going through the door. That a little bit annoys my BF as I can hear from his deep sigh when I say  "almost readyyyyy...". But that last look at the mirror always reveals something that is missing. Like gloves, another necklace or another jacket that would look better. XD  As I look now at these photos, I think I would change the tights into leggings.

And here what was under the west :D

Nimphadora sends you her best wishes too ;)

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... ;)

New necklaces of a Bat Bow

So, I'm on vacations now so I decided to spend some time on renewing mu Etsy shop. Here's some new pieces. These are lovely charming bats bow. I find them cute with that little touch of dark aesthetic :)

And here's a little piece with no bats just a little stitched heart trapped in a cage.

I have many more ideas but I must waist for my supplies to arrive. I know this vacations will pas on a blink of an eye. All of them do. Half of the day I spend in my pajamas. It's still cold and snows outside and I'm so sick of it :D But there is a lot of events this month such as my sister birthday and BJD community meeting. The hostess lives in the same building two floors away from me :D

So all in all I'll be  trying to spend my time making new jewelry and things for my doll and doing things my working hours would not allow to :)

Spam post :D Bat in my hat (mind)

Just made an order for this beauty!!!!

Happy happy happy!! Hope it will reach me till Christmas :P

This hair band would be perfect for the set :)

 It's a new creation by me. Just for the theme :D You can find it at my Etsy.

Vampire Requiem: a gift for myself for being good this year :D

I was bitten by Lolita bug lately and I spend so much time watching outfits it hurts my eyes. Really. I even was told to buy the skirt I want and to stop moaning about how beautiful it is. The good thing is that I can have a replica and I will, cause the real stuff is way to expensive for me. 

And what I want is this Vampire Requiem corset skirt. And I want it in bloody red. I'm ordering it or else I'll dye from gazing at it. I'm  cheering like a child just after saying "Yes,you can have it." to myself. Wait, till I'll get it. Oh, Lolita bug, you'll kill me. 

I know this Lolita bug will withdraw sooner or latter as it always dose (and then will attack unexpectedly again O_O ) But this skirt is a piece that not only Lolitas can wear. Oh, that lovely red and elegant print... It will fit so good with my black stripped jacket.

What can I say, the older I get, the better my wardrobe becomes :D New clothes always makes a girl happy :)

So is there a dress, a skirt or any other piece you dream about but don't allow yourself to have it?

I just did. It feels good :)

Making a Lolita skirt

This all week I was reading a lot of Lolita blogs and all those skirts and dresses looked so beautiful I almost ordered one. But I'm saving money for new ball jointed doll so that will have to wait a little bit. It was my day off so I decided to clean my closet,  to sort summer outfits from winter and put them in a box. There was one unfinished skirt. I bought fabric for it almost two years ago and wanted to make a Victorian skirt from it. But I stuck on frills and left it to be. 

The body of the skirt was made to big and I was to lazy to remake it. 

Also I had this unfinished project. I wanted to reconstruct this laced skirt to a puffy Lolita skirt, but it was to short so I let it be thinking that I'll decide what to do later. And I'm glad I did. Because looking at those two skirt I had an perfect idea to combine them. And so I did...

I took the bottom laces from the black skirt and attached to the red one.

 There even was a lace over-left so I thought I'll make a nice cuffs from it. But when I put them on a skirt to make photo, I sow that they look perfect as little cute pockets.

 So pockets they become...

 I took second row of laces from the black skirt, ironed them and sew them on the red skirt leaving a gap between them.

 The back. I also made the waist smaller by plating it a little bit at the top.

 I didn't have any image of the skirt as I started. I just recalled the skirt I've seen and details I liked. So I kept sewing laces on till I was happy with the look.

 I decided to give more classic look to the skirt by pooling ribbon between the lace.

 I covered ends of the ribbon with cute bows.

 And added bows to the pockets as well.

Here's the final look.

I'm really glad how it turned out. A real Lolita skirt. At least I think it is ;) I just need to get a petticoat to make it look more puffy.

 There was some lace left so I made socks toppers by adding ribbons to the lace. Super fast and easy. I don't think a tutorial is needed :)

Well. I'm SUPER happy with it. I hope I'll wear it because somehow all things I make for myself ends up hanging in the wardrobe. I promised myself to wear it tomorrow for a walk if it will be sunny outside :)

The skirt goes perfect with my Victorian jacket. Can you see how long my legs look?? I was surprised myself :)  That's because the skirt holds on my waist and not on my hips it optically makes my legs look longer. 

Update: After days of lurking in Lolita blogs I resume that while the skirt might be called Lolita skirt it still need a bigger puff (so I need a petticoat), the socks need to be higher or there  are no need of any. And there is a good reason you don't see my hair. The hairdo is a must to (and I was plane Jane at that moment :D )
