How are you? The weather has been pretty awesome the last few days and I start believing in the possibility of a great summer this year ^O^ To enjoy the good weather and to celebrate my birthday me and some friends went to the Rosensteinpark in Stuttgart to take some pcitures...but when we arrived we were approached by nice people in medieval gowns who invited us to dance :3 And this is what we did *points down* They also told us that they are doing this kind of event on a regular basis and we promisd to come visit them again :D
Thanks to Deddi for this really nice picture...really love how it is taken out of the moment <3
I am so sorry for not posting the last week but a colleague told me about an amazing series and I was watching it ever since *hahaha* But yesterday I took a break from the show and went to the fabrics market in Ludwigsburg with some friends. And I actually only wanted to look around as I haven't touched my sewing machine for quite a while...but than my friend Nessie inspired me again to do some sewing :3 Here is what I got~
The fabric was just too cute to leave it :3 I will probably do a rug for my table with the strawberry one in the middle. The polkadot one will turn into a pouch...maybe...and the patchwork-like one has to wait for my decision XD
I am still recovering from all the Christmas food but still want to write something about the meeting with a dear friend from my highschool days :3 Everytime I am meeting with her I instantely feel transported back in time - memories I already have forgotten are coming back and I am turning 18 again x"D Well, not that any other day in my life is different though.
OMG~ tomorrow it is finally Christmas and after 8 hours in the train I finally reached my parents place. Why do we live so far apart? *sighs* Well, anyways, here are the 7 great things that happened last week :3
1. We had over 200 Lolita Valentines this week <3 SO AWESOME!
2. ...and I also received one *O* Thank you so so so much <3 <3 <3
3. Had an awesome Christmas Meet-Up with my girls from Stuttgart *_* It was sooooo much fun and everyone looked so beautiful <3
Somehow we look like deer caught in headlight but somehow I really like that pic <3
4. Got an awesome present from my dear Nezumi <3 Thank you so much my dear *_*
5. Finished reading The Hunger Games - Mockingjay...and the end was really great and fitting for the series :3
6. Made a 2nd Christmas Headdress for Nezumi and I think my skills are improving pretty much...I didn`t brn myself as much this time around *haha* really love doing this kind of creative stuff ^^
7. Started getting Acupuncture for my back pain and it really helps *yay* Finally some help for my back *wohoooo*
How was your week? Did you get everything reday for Christmas already? I still need to pack some presents...and of course tomorrow we will decorate the Christmas tree :3
Oh, I nearly forgot to publicly announce the giveaway winner *ahahaha*
Last weekend I went to visit Nezumi for the first time at her home to bake some christmas cookies and, boy, was it an odyssey to get to her place. Even though she is only living aroun 40 km away I had to travel nearly 2 hours by bus/train @@ And I was really affraid that I would land somewhere totally different but none of thart happened, I reached Nezumi in one place and could help with the baking...well, at least I tried x"D As I don't have an oven at my place I can't bake that often and thus I am not to great at it *hahaha* I still hope that I was helpful...at least I could mix or cut the ingredients *hahaha* ^^"
Don't they look delicious? *om nom nom* I made Vanillekipferl in the past already but everytime I forget how annoying it is to put the suger on them...so many of them broke T^T
Oh my~ it is Tuesday again *haha* Somehow on Monday I am always too tired to think about good things from the last week...probably because it is Monday and the start of the week *hahaha* I really should get my act together and start posting my 7 things on Monday again. But as I am not a time lord (yet) today I have to post it on Tuesday *hihi*
1. Speaking of Timelords, the 50th Anniversary Special from Doctor Who will be shown in cinemas all around Germany on the 23rd of November *yay* They announced it last week so I post this as one of my 7 things ;)
2. Halloween...need I say more? *sings* This is Halloween, This is Halloween... *sings*
3. Met a good friend in Nuremberg after a pretty long time and had a great time :) Also used this occasion to wear Lolita again for a non-Lolita-Meet-Up *hihi*
4. Got into the Sailor Moon vibe again. I love this show so so so much *O* I can't wait for the remake to come out :3
5. Only had a four-day-week at work because of the national holiday here in Germany *yay*
6. Me and my lovely ladies received a Valentine <3 Sadly this week we only had 2 Valentines in total *sighs*
7. Decided on my Co-Ord for the Christmas Meet-Up in Munich :3 Will do something Snow Queen inspired~ I will post about that when I got all the stuff I need...and there may also be a Tutorial of sorts ;)
...and just now I noticed that I totally sound like River Song saying that all the time *haha* Doctor Who reference without even noticing it xD But anyways, on to the topic that is another awesome weekend with my girls :3 As the weather was really great we decided on holding our monthly meet-up at the Classic Open Air in Nuremberg. Before it even started we had a nice picnic with so much delicious food *om nom nom* Later some of us also decided to cool down for a bit and we went to Dutzendteich to have a little paddleboat adventure :) It was an awesome day as always ^.^
Last weekend I was celebrating my birthday with my dears in Erlangen and I got the most awesome present evaaaaar...well, that should come to no surprise to me as I have the most awesome friends evaaaaaaar <3 Love you guys~
So awesome <3 The Swan Lake JSK was on my wishlist for a really really long time and my awesome friends got it for me *O* I love the tale of Odette and I think the print on this dress is shwing the story perfectly \^O^/~ I also received the Bella Bamba Blush from Benefit, the Anna Sui Forbidden Affair perfume and the first season of Game of Thrones <3
Hope you had a nice day and Saint Nick brought something nice for you. As the title of this post suggests I got one of the most awesome presents evar <3 A selfmade crochetted octopus in...PINK - who would have guessed that *haha* I got it from one of my dearest friends <3 Thank you soooooo much :3 It is so awesome *O*
Gnihihihi~ isn't it adorable? <3 And the postcard is awesome as well...matches me perfectly xD And *om nom nom* Almond Chocolate :3
I also had some other things in my mailbox today...my second order of Bath and Bodyworks products made its way to my porch ;) I am seriousely addicted to their products...and I am sad that BBW only sends to the US and Canada...and that people elsewhere have to pay more for the products...but anywaaaaaays~ the products are definitely worth the price ^^b
Four products for me and some others as presents...won't show them for obvious reasons ;)
1. Pocketbac "Cinnamon Raisin Cookie" - Smells delicious and really christmasy, like cinnamon and raisins, as the name already says xD
2+3. Plum Potion and Spider Cider Lotion - yep, from the Halloween Collection but whatever, they smell awesome, especially the Spider Cider is a smell to bath in *hahaha*
4. Pink Chiffon Lotion - a really flowery and perfumy scent *thumbs up*
Last but not least I want to share my current obsession, well I already shared it in my October favourites but this song (and anime at that) is soooooo awesome *here goes*
So, last weekend I went to Franconia to visit koo-chan, as I wasn't able to attend her birthday *sad face* To make up for it we actually planned to take some autumn pictures but the weather planned otherwise xD So we had no other choice as to go shopping (as if XD) But we still took some pictures of our outfits although they didn't came out as good as it was already getting darker and mobile cams aren't that great with darkness ^^" You can find koo-chans entry about our shopping trip here.
Here is a more or less good picture of my outfit ;) It took me a while to figure out how to put my wig up like this...at first I tried one strand of hair at a time until koo-chan told me that she just puts her hair up by trial and error and sees if it looks good...so I did the same and ~tadaa~ it worked ^^b I also tried out my Blooming Garden-headbow for the first time...and it only works with a wig, else your head gets eaten xDD
And here is what I got myself :3 Just a tiny haul~
Earrings for one Euro each bought at KIK...I tried on the ones with the pearls and the pear suddenly came of after one hour...so quality isn't that great but not a big loss for the money ;)
Perfume by Essence called "like a first day in spring" for only 6 Euro *yay* It smells really florally and fresh...love that scent ^^b And also a pen-thingy for eyeshadows xD
Shower Gel and Bodylotion by Balea...it is the winter Limited Edition and it smells so so so great <3 Especially the version with Cherry and Almond :) That is my favourite~ As always you can find Balea at any dm-drugstore.
Did you ever feel the urge to just disappear into a fairytale world and be a princess? I know that I have this desire every other day...and on Sunday it somewhat became reality ;) Schelli, Sam and me went to the "Märchengarten" (Fairytale Garden) in the vicinity of Ludwigsburg castle. Well, actually we also went to see the pumpkin exhibition there but I was rather looking forward to the "Märchengarten" *hahaha*
In the past this garden was a refuge for the noblemen who were residing at the castle, today it showcases many different fairytales in a really unique and cute way <3 We, for example, met Snow White, Rapunzel, evil witches and many more of our childhood companions ;)
The storyteller and me at the entrance to the "Märchengarten"...I wonder what he is going to read next ;)
You might think "What? Another post? So soon?"...well, as I have some inspiration and time in my hands I am just going to post the last part of my holiday adventures now...before I will be gone in the shadows for another two weeks...well hopefully not...but anywayson to the post XD
On my last Friday of my holidays (21.09.) I met up with a friend from highschool...we FINALLY, after three years of never getting a date that suited as both, we met up to catch up on stuff, shop (I will make a post about what I got that day later...hopefully ^^") and talk about the good old times...that day kinda made me feel really really homesick and wish back the good old times without too many worries...buhuut thats not gonna happen and well, my life now is not as bad either. Only sometimes you wish for the old times to return and just be a rather stupid teen again (makes me sound so old, that I am not XDD)
Pandapillow *O* I want that sooooo much...but didn't have the money for that *sobs* Well, maybe Santa hears me and gets one for me *hehehe*
Castle Wildeck...during school days me and my friends would often go to the little park there during our lunchbreak and just chat.
If you follow that way you reach the house were my grandparents lived while I was at school...I would often stay at their place as it was only a 10 minutes walk to school (instead of 30 minutes with bus from my parents place xD)
I don't think this bench is actually used by anyone as it is on a bridge near the main street but I walked by it on my way to school from my grandparents flat...so great deal nostalgia to that *haha*
And another cute corner of the town filled with tons of memories...and I am feeling a little homesick again already xD"
How was your week? On Thursday I met with Michelle, a local Lolita, and we tried out Coox and Candy, a vegan cafe in Stuttgart. Each of us had a cupcake and a piece of tarte - and you didn't even taste the difference to sweets made with non-vegan ingredients. So, as I myself will probably never turn vegan, I think it is good to eat somethink like that once in a while - and to all the people out there whoe thought vegans only eat salad, well, now you definitely know better ;) After we stuffed ourselves with the delicious things and tookn our time chatting about everything and nothing, we went to Rosensteinpark to take loads and loads of pictures :3 It was really fun and I think we also burned some calories *hahaha*
These lanterns are just so awesome...we mused about the beast carrying the poles for quite some time xD
This is the last lunch break before my holidays, only 4 hours left and I will visit Vanilla at Lake Tegernsee <3 I can't await to get there. During my first short visit I totally fell in love with that region. Well, now I also will only stay there for 2 days but better than just some hours *hehe*
And to get me in the mood, here some pics from my last visit there :3
Hopefully the weather will be as awesome as last time :3
How was your weekend? Did you do some- thing exciting? Well~ I went to Stuttgart on Saturday with Yuzuki to have an awesome girl's night out. First we went to have Sushi at Sushi Circle. Like always it was totally awesome <3 With our stomachs full we went to have cocktails at, you might already know, 5 - and there we travelled the world...we started at America *om nom nom* and than I went to Europe - very delicious - while Yuzuki had a taste of Africa - interesting experience I might say *haha* After chatting about everything and nothing we than decided to move for a bit and visited the club called Village that is on the same street as the 5. At first we were at the R&B floor but after a while decided that House is far better for us. 2 hours later we couldn't move anymore and moved our tired limbs to have something cold to drink before going home by night bus. All in all it was a loooooong but really great evening - that definitely screams "Lets do that again!" - yep~ sometimes I just need to do this really girly and mainstream things as well ;)
It was so delicious <3 They really have interesting combinations...at first you think "WTH is that ? O.o" but everything is delicious :3
On Sunday we wanted to sleep in but it didn't work that well but as I had planned to meet some collegues at the "Pferdemarkt" - a fair to celebrate horses !? kinda xD - in my town it wasn't all to bad *haha* Well~ after Yuzuki went home I met up with my collegues and we looked around at the fair, had ice cream and I was being silly *points down*
Tree Lover xD
Beautiful Japanese Garden in my town :3
Hope you had a nice weekend and a great start into your week <3
