Sometimes you have to do something bad to avoid doing something worse...

 What I'm wearing today seems to be an unusual choice. But I can't help it, I love this dress in it's all flowing glory! It's especially great for sunny days like today. All I need now is a fancy victorian hat and I'm ready for afternoon tea at the park.

Dress: CC fashion / shoes: Deichmann / skeleton hand: Glovestar

The dress also reminded me of an interesting movie, since I thought immediately that the main character would probably wear it.

The movie ,,Stoker" is an interesting thriller. Quite usual story - the unknown family member arrives and changes the home residents' lives. But what is truly important, the movie is built on a specific, dark 50' climate with a greyish green and brown palette. The individual frames make beautiful mysterious paintings. Also a lot of symbols appear here, from flashbacks of main character's hunting with father, through playing piano, to spiders and shoes. Everything has it's meaning and, as the story goes forward, slowly reveal psychology of rather ,,weird" and a bit disturbing mind of this girl.

If you are not familiar with the movie yet, I highly recommend seeing it. It's worth at least for the artistic pleasure and chills you can get from discovering the mysteries.

Mysterious Castle

May I present you my new work, a mystic castle. It took me a few hours to do, using ink and watercolor paint. I created a crooked mansion that a cartoon villain would live in, surrounded with hills and dead trees in the moonlight. I like the final outcome, do you?

The magic is ours

 Ah, the sweet long weekend. Long sleep, sitting alone in artistic mess painting, enjoying the long walks. It could last and last. One of these days were especially charming - renewing old relations by playing the Horror in Arkham brought great memories. The game itself was pretty fun, too! I can only hope now the joy won't pass too quickly.

Dress: Boohoo.com / jacket: B.young / hat: H&M / necklace: DIY / shoes: Vagabond / bracelet: from Greece

The hat is my last finding, I've just bought it yesterday in H&M in city centre as a kind of birhtday gift and it's just the perfect one I wanted. But, to be honest, it's from Divided collection, so no suprise I like it. I would gladly adopt almost all of its stuff.

How was your weekend?

XXI

Yesterday I celebrated anniversary of my arrival to human world. Doesn't feel any different to be a one year older. Well, at least for now, since the number isn't big enough to scare me yet.

I celebrated this day with my closest ones. Everything was great, we had a sushi feast and my beloved made a cream pie with jelly. I received a pair of sunglasses and a ticket for a concert I planned to see in autumn. Now it's official, I'm coming with my dad to see The Cure. Originally, I know the band thanks to him, so I'm pretty excited to return to my early teenage memories connected with it.

Outfit for a dinner included: dress: Topshop / wreath: from Greece / harness: DIY

Me with my beautiful mum. She arrived to a dinner straight from an airport!

Accessory crafts

Believe or not, it's a long time since I first thought about making my own jewellery. But I was unsure how to start, where to get materials from. Recently I have found some felt I purchased a few years ago with intention to make pins. It seemed like good idea to finally use it. So I created a few pieces of cute accessory.

 First is this moon hair clip I painted.

I used the same design for necklace. I like how realistic the moon looks against black

There are also glitter bat clips!

What do you think?
