I have been sewing again! ^_^

First, I have been wanting to make a velvet dress for a long time. A floor length, long sleeved dress with a sensual sort of Morticia-esk feel. I originally wanted a beautiful deep, dark green that looks almost black but with virbrant green "highlights", you know when the light hits the creases of the fabric and curves of the body... Yeah I really had it all planned out, but there isn't a huge variety in Denmark, unless you wanna pay a ton of money. Anyways, I ended up with this fun and different velvet print!

I actually really like it! I quite dig the eccentricity of the blue and orange asian flowers. I love how it looks on me, and I have so many things I can style it with. It can be very dressy but you can quite easily dress it down with a demin shirt as a cardigan.

The back of the dress. Fun fact: I did more pleats in the front than in the back... Even though I'm sort of curvy I don't really have a lot of booty! Aha ha...

Then I found some super beautiful baroque-ish floral fabric! I have been looking for something like this for years!

Aaaahhh, I love this fabric so much... Because of the busy print and the fact that it's very stiff I wanted to make a very fitted pencil skirt. Also to add sex and a modern feel to it. Again, this is super easy to dress up with a light material button down or to dress it down with a basic t-shirt and cozy cardigan. Either way, I adore it!!!

In the back I did this little slit, I just thought it was a nice little detail. :) Oh and I did a hidden zipper in the back aswell, I don't know why I didn't take a pic of that?...

I also ended up with enough fabric to make a few decorative pillow cases!

Thrift haul!!! (Well, mainly)

I have a profound weakness for floral printed shoes, and I found these cute flats! They were only 99 DKK/17,81 USD so I had to have them...

I am so excited about this adorable, minty nightgown! Only, when I got it home I discovered it had a... certain smell... Like old-lady-piss. :( Washing it did not help at all, I had to soak it in vinegar for hours to eliminate the smell. If I had noticed the smell at the store I don't think I would have bought it, but the stores in Denmark are small and often very smelly. So thrifting in DK is definitely a very dirty job!

When I saw this a had to get it even though it's bought in a regular (menswear, though) shop. At least it was 50% off! XD Not too many years ago I aspired to become a tattoo artist, and pinups definitely has a special place in my heart. And I adore all things navy styled. I think most fashionistas know that it was Coco Chanel who started wearing stribes like that, but I don't know how many who know where she got it from. She saw fischermen who wore jumpers and knits with the, now classic, stribes. I even heard a story where she, with a friend, "stole" a few sweaters from a fischer. I don't how accurate it is but I think it's a bit funny. Anyways, I love this T-shirt!

This (new)item was freakin' 70% off, and also it's burgundy and lace!!! Two things I absolutely love, now combined!

And the back of it has these nice buttons and a cute little cut-out.

This (also new) was also 70% off and it's so sexy boho I just had to have it. I guess I'm ready for summer?

And back to thrifted stuff! I just thought this snow white (irl it's very. very white!), quirky button down was really nice, and with the collar I think it screams "the 70's". Styled right I think it'll look awsome in a polished boho look. Yeah, I know I always write about bohemian styled items but I can't get enough of it...

I also found this very nice oversized blazer. It's in a very soft and thin material so it's more like a blazer cardigan, which I love, and it's so, so comfortable! ^___^ I'm not really a fan of the super fitted look when it comes to blazers. I don't know if it's just because it's overdone... But I think it looks so much more chic when it's oversized.

I can't have enough cardigans! And I like how unusual this one is. I think it looks much better irl by the way.  I really like the alsmost pastel orange, green and turquoise on the cream base.

I got this amazing black velvet clutch for 5 DDK/0.90 USD! A freakin' steal!!! I really tried to get a decent pic but I had to settle with this... It doesn't do it any justice, it looks so new and pretty irl.

I have been wanting to buy/make something like this for a while now so I'm so happy I found this amazing belt. ^___^

I couldn't not buy this apron! It's so adorable and super feminine, I really love how it's too much. XD

New painting! (Now, with more gore!)

A bit more scary than usual, I think... XD

It's called; "Douleur" ("Pain") The last few months has been sort of hard. I've been in a lot of physical pain because of health stuff... So yeah, when I'm in pain I get gory! I've always liked dark stuff and horror art, and for now it's the only thing I feel like doing. ^___^ I also incorporated my fear of doctors and hospitals... The painting is mainly about how chronic pain can be all consuming. During my worst days I'm more like a zombie, and when I'm "conscious" I become this yelling bitch cursing at everyone and everything.

Lavender eye make up!

Yeah, I'm still really into blue and purple colours! I really like how my freckles shows with these kind of tones. :) 

January length shot 2013!

Yeah...

The lighting is kinda horrible and the picture was sort of taken spontaneously... I was wearing some ugly ass pj's... XD Oh well! After the picture was taken I went out and trimmed again (about 1-2cm). I'm still not sure if I wanna grow on or keep maintaining at this length. I kinda feel like I have to just choose. I think my ends look much better now and I'm slowly getting tired of this length, it's not excactly a flattering length on me, I think. I'll probably grow on towards classic length now! And for the first time in about five years I'll go out an buy a new leave-in conditioner. When I started dyeing my hair about 5-6 years ago I bought a ton of leave-in's to treat my hair, and just recently, I've used up all the old stuff. It's a bit stupid but I'm quite excited to get a new leave-in!!! ^ , ^

BTW, I'm having computer problems, so that's why i haven't been super active. XD

New paintings!

So this is another order I received. It's called "Hyrdinden og Skorstensfejeren." (In english: The Shepherdess and the Chimney sweeper.") It was a very fun order to do!

I hope you like it! ^___^
