Christmas is here...

Now when I am at my home again I can rest with a cup of tea - tired and happy after celebrating Christmas with my family.

Holidays for me started already at friday, when I celebrated it with my closest family in my house. Then 2 days I spent in another town at my granparents' place, and today I had a dinner with my fiance's family.

The photos are from grandparents' home. I hope I could catch some of the warm and cosy atmosphere on those few photos. I like this traditionalism in decoration, it brings out memories of my childhood. I am still in festive mood even if there was no snow this year. I'd like to show you a song I was listening to a lot, which I think is perfect for this time of a year :)

I wish you all merry Christmas / Holidays or whatever else you are celebrating!

Hi! I was going to post earlier this week, but time flies fast and a few days passed in a blink of my eye. My mind is getting busy anyway thinking about Christmas presents. Seems like this year I am fulfilling  my tradition of buiyng gifts last-minute.

Yesterday I went to Alterfair, hoping I could buy something for someone. I found a little thing that I think one person would like, and also a small thing for myself, so I am fairly satisfied. Later I went to east sushi with my fiance. We also continued watching the series we started together last time, How to get away with murder. This show keeps us in suspence and I recommend watching it. I am curious for seasons 2 and 3.

Yesterday's outfit included thrifted h&m lace dress I love and new overknee boots from Allegro.pl. I was in need of some casual footwear which would also keep my calves warm. These ones are nice and also have a cute lace-up detail on back.

Time does not return

I'm showing you my outfit of today. Seems like it's one of most worn last time. I just found this skirt last month and I really enjoy the color and texture. It seems it's the only skirt I have that is not black. For me velvet resembles of historical robes, especially renaissance. Too bad people don't wear these kind of clothing today. I'd love at least attending a real ball once so I could put on long gown.

The skirt is from Republic, necklace from Wyczarovane.pl, boots from Bronx.

Today I am in suprisingly good mood which made me excited for lecture about graphic design. I'm looking forward for tomorrow though when I finally end the first season of a series I'm currently watching.

Locked up in metal bones

Last week was very exhausting for me due to school duties. Yesterday I completed movie poster for one of classes and seems that now I can slow down a little. Especially that waking up today to the falling snow reminded me of upcoming winter, what means: Christmas. It always makes me feel like a child again, seeing these beautiful illuminated trees and smelling these scents of burning candles, oranges and fresh snow. I think there is some magic in these holidays like no others have.

What made me happy last time that I ordered a corset last week and it already arrived to me. It's a classic matte black underbust from Papercats. It's a big deal since I've always loved corsets, but I only had the soft ones with plastic boning so far and this time it's a real steel one. I was lucky to get it for a half price of a brand that's already not expensive. Today I dediced to give it a try and wore it all day and, to my suprise, it's quite comfortable. I ordered an XS size and I was worried it would be too tight, but it's just right. And it gives the figure a nice hourglass shape with defined waist. I will surely wear it a lot. If I had to rate it, I would give it a 5/5.

 What do you think about corsets?

Le Cirque

 Today's outfit is combination of newly thrited skirt that's very comfortable and a blouse I've been into lately. The black and white stripes, black lace and red details remind me a bit of circus aesthetics which I'm liking a lot.

blouse: thrifted / skirt: thrifted / shoes: Vagabond

 The previous week was very busy. I had a few mid-term works to do and new comissions. Also tomorrow is my first test from japanese. I'm very happy I can learn a new language, especially this one is unlike ony other I've learned before, with very different cultural origin and writing system. I have always been interested in learning foreign languages, so I plan to learn many more. I hope I can go to Japan someday to use the knowledge in practice.
