OOTD - Portrait de Marie

Hello sweeties <3

last Saturday I went to see the amazing fireworks at Castle Ludwigsburg with my Lolita friends and we had such a great time. At first we went to a really beautiful cafe and had something to eat. Later as the weather was pretty nice we packed our things and went to the castle park to have a small picnic while waiting for the fireworks to start :3 As the castle and the park are know for their baroque splendor I decided to wear a barouque inspired Coord that my dear friend Nessie lent me for this occassion <3

 JSK: Krad Lanrete

Hat: Selfmade by my dear friend Nessie

Socks: Innocent World

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

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

Congratulations to Miuko from Puppenschloss :3

Tartan Princess OR you were inspired by British fashion, right?

Hello sweeties <3

I really want you to show the outfit I wore for the bookblogger meeting on Saturday as it is somewhat really different from what I am used to wear. I get used to dark colors on myself more and more and I am already on the lookout for darker dresses now :3 My goal is to have a rather gothicy Co-Ord for the Jupiter concert in February...so, keep your fingers crossed for me ;) But anyways, here is my Saturday-outfit :D

7 things~

Hello sweeties <3

It is Monday again and you know what that means, right ;) Also I am really on time this week *hahaha* Gotta make up for the weeks when I was to late in posting my 7 things ^^" So lets start~

1. Watched Disney's The Beauty and the Beast again after a pretty long time. I still love that movie as dearly as 20 years ago *_*

2. Went shopping with one of my Japanese colleagues and had a really great time. Also found the latest LE by Essence...that I will talk about soon..ish xD

3. Went to the 1st Bookblogger regular table in Stuttgart...it was really really nice to meet new people who love books as much as I do...although I was really nervous that nobody would talk to me let alone like me x"D Thanks to my cute Nezumi for encouraging me <3

4. Started with another "diet"...well, not actual diet but in lack of a better word I call it that. Actually it is a specific way in which you change your eating habits. It is called "Schlank im Schlaf" (Loose weight while sleeping) and I heard from friends that it is working really good for them so I also will give it a shot :)

5. Together with Nezumi I met a really nice photographer by chance in Stuttgart and she took really nice pictures of us together. Can't wait to get the finished products :3

6. Got complimented on my eyes :3 In the past I considered my eyes an outstanding trait of my face because they are rather big and they have a nice color of blue but recently I forgot that someone could even remotely consider them beautiful...stupid me *hahahaha*

7. One of my most favourite bloggers of all time is now following my blog <3 <3 <3 Go check out Stoff im Gehirn - so awesome <3

Also as a honorable mention this week: I am going to participate in a book challenge created by my dear Nezumi and Sasija. It will be held in German though but if you want me to translate you parts of the challenge please don't hesitate to ask me <3

Have a nice start into this week~

xoxo

7 things~

Hello sweeties <3

While it is still Monday I am going to post my 7 things...well, that is something that hasn't happened for some weeks now *hahaha* So lets start~

1. My dear Nezumi got us VIP Tickets for the Jupiter concert in Cologne in February *O* I can't wait to see them life in concert and to get a picture with them *ngahahahaha*

2. Had a really awesome meet-up with the girls here and met some really nice people for the first time. Hope to see you all very soon again <3

3. Watched "The Host" with my colleague...well, the movie was one of the worst movies I have ever seen but it was nice to chill out and make fun of the movie ^^"

4. Watched Shingeki no Kyojin <3 <3 <3 Yep, finally succumbed *hahaha*

5. A summer teaparty in Rothenburg was announced :3 Can't wait for it to be summe 2014 *_* The theme will be fairy tales...right down my alley *_*

6. Finally went to Esslingen for the first time...and noticed that I already was there in 2008 with my Art history class...duh xD Nonetheless the town is really great *_*

7. Became godparent of a cute little ratboy *_*

Hope you also had a great week and a good start into this one <3

Short trip to Vienna Part 1 - Sighseeing

Hello sweeties <3

sorry for my lack of post during the last week but as I got myself a cold I didn't have the energy to post about my trip to Vienna and the Innocent World Teaparty...also I was too hooked up in American Horror Story so yeah *coughs* But here it finally is, the long awaited (not ;D) post xDD

Me and my castle~

Hello sweeties <3

On Saturday Nezumi, Sam and myself decided to visit castle Ludwigsburg to take some pictures and later enjoy the fireworks near the Märchengarten. But shortly after noon we weren't so sure if the fireworks were really going to happen as heaven opened its gates and we thought we dressed up for nothing. Anyways we went to Ludwigsburg nonetheless and we were lucky *yay* The sun showed its face again shortly after we arrived and we were able to take some great shots :3

Nezumi lent me her Chess Chocolate JSK *O* I really really love that print <3 Actually I wanted to wear another Coord but when Nezumi asked if I wanted to wear Chess Chocolate I couldn't say now ^O^ I also tried another hairdo this time. I think it looks really cute and on top of that it is pretty easy to do :3 Will do another tutorial on that pretty soon ;)

Wish upon a rose

Hello sweeties <3

This weekend I finally had the opportunity to meet Nezumi and some other dear friends from Stuttgart again <3 Since nearly two months we planned to go to Tokyo Dining and this weekend we finally did it *haha* But before we went there we had a little photoshoot and I finally got the possibility to wear my Perfume Bottle JSK *yay* I am not 100% satisfied with the Co-Ord though...I actually wanted to wear my Rocking Horse Shoes with the dress but unfortunately it is still stuck somewhere between China and Germany *haha* Also the Socks I actually wanted to wear were flying around someplace else ^^"

Actually I wanted to put up my hair a little bit more but than I thought it would look to much like the hairdo I have most of the time so I took my inspiration from Sailor Venus with the hairbow in the back. I think this makes the hairdo look more regal. What do you think? If you want to know how I do my updos I can do one or two Tutorials for wigs in the future...what do you think? :)

Classical Saturday

Hello sweeties <3

...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 ^.^

 

Usagi no Alice~

Hello sweeties <3

Some of you may know that on instagram I am @usaginoalice meaning Bunny Alice - but why I am telling you this? Well, as I already mentioned last Saturday we held our monthly meet-up at the zoological garden and for that occasion I wore my Bunny Ears from Ergi <3 and turned into Usagi no Alice ;) The meetup was really great and I was able to meet some people again that I haven't seen for a pretty long time *yay* We also had a really cute encounter with a little boy who wanted to take a picture together with us...he was so adorable *O* We also received lots of compliments that day...the best one was "You are the new Vogue! More people should dress that way"...and yes, the person telling this to us wasn't making fun of us :) It was a really great day with great people and I was glad that Schelli could join us <3

Derping around xD I got the rose from Schelli and after that called her Kamijo the whole day...because I am silly like that ^^"

Rose - 美しく生きるために

Hello sweeties <3

OMG~ I have so many posts planned in my head and not enough time T^T Hopefully I can put them all up before I leave for Tegernsee on Friday ^^" Can't wait to meet my girls again...although I saw them just one week ago but I can't help but miss them. But anyways, enough rambling and on to the post :) 

Well, it is Monday again and you know what that means - 7 good things that happened last week~

1. I finally received my Pas de deux in the blue moon JSK from Baby *yay* Only had to run through the rain in my pyjamas to get it as the dhl carrier didn't find my flat xD

2. The "Me and my icecream"-LE from Essence came out and I indulged in that xD

3. ...I did not buy any eyeshadows from mentioned LE xD (yep, that is a good thing happening to me)

4. I obsessed over True Blood.

5. Made plans to go to Louisiana next year~

6. Went to another Korean Restaurant with my colleagues.

7. Had an awesome meet-up yesterday with the Lolitas of Stuttgart - mostly thanks to Schelli ;)

And speaking of awesome meet-up I just use the opportunity to show you some pictures from yesterday...or else the title of this post would have no meaning ^-^""

...we went to the Rosensteinpark in  Stuttgart to take some pictures :) And as Schelli and me were in a rather fangirling mode -WE ARE VERSAILLES - we had to take pictures with many many roses :3

Swan Lake in the jungle~

Good Morning sweeties <3

Saturday was our monthly meet-up...and actually we had planned to go to the fairytale forest near Nuremberg but as the weather made people not wanna attend such kind of meet-up we changed plans and went to the botanical garden in Erlangen instead. At the beginning it was raining pretty badly and we had to take refuge in the green house where we took some pictures while sweating ourselves to death *haha* The results are pretty nice though. Emilie was able to get the camera from koo-chan's boyfriend and she did really well *hugs*

 

Emilie took so many great pictures <3 I really like the contrast between the light colors of my dress and the dark green of the "jungle" :)

After some time the sun also did show her face and we were able to stroll through the botanical garden and take some more pictures. 

JSK: Metamorphose - Blouse: ebay - Roses: New Yorker, Ann Christine, Claire's, H&M - Necklace+Earrings: Kaufland - Shoes: Bodyline - Tights: Ernsting's Family

 

Exhausted from all the posing we went to Mireo to have some cake...unfortunately we could only stay there for one hour as there was a private party later in the evening so we went to do some shopping and also found some nice things for cute Vanilla's birthday ;)

In the evening Emilie, Milky Rose and myself went to the cinema to watch The Great Gatsby. It was definitely not what I expected but it was worth the watch, Although I would have preferred the movie in 2D and English ^^" I loved the costumes and I still think that men should wear suits like that even now *sighs* They would look so much more handsome *hahaha*

Did you already watch this movie? What do you think about it?

Also, don't forget my giveaway ;)

Have a nice day~

7 things~

Hello sweeties <3

After an idea given to me by my cute Schelli every week I will try to upload 7 great things that happened to me during the past week. I will try to post them every Monday, hopefully I can keep that up ;) So, lets start~

1. The sun finally came out to greet us :3 Hopefully the rainy days will be over for real now :)

2. I went to Franconia to meet my girls again and we went to the Botanical Garden.

3. Kamijos first Solosingle will be called "Louis"...my fandoms are connecting *hehehe*

4. Got my ticket for the Innocent World-Teaparty <3 <3 <3

5.Found another guilty pleasure *shifts eyes* AKB0048 <.<"

6. Watched The Great Gatsby and loved it :3

7. Didn't wear a wig with Lolita and it looked really nice~ *selfesteem boost* xDD

...well, not everything is awesomely great but these things lifted my spirit pretty much. I think reminding yourself of the positive things happening in your life really helps you turn into a more positive person - I will give that a try ;)

I hope you had a great start into this week~

Have a nice evening :)

About getting older and still staying young~

Good Morning sweeties <3

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

Strawberry Alice and the white Rabbit~

Hello sweeties <3

On Saturday we had our annual Easter Meet-Up in Fürth...unfortunately not many people attended because the weather wasn't that good. We still had lots of fun in the Cafe while playing Bingo and afterwards while taking mostly silly pictures xD

 

Faber Castell

Hello sweeties <3

Sorry for not posting for nearly one week m(_._)m I just haven't gotten around posting about last weekend ^^"

Jessy and Me waiting for the others to arrive at the castle :)

Last Sunday I was finally able to see my girls from Franconia again as we had a meet-up near Nuremberg at the castle Faber Castell. As we were five people from the Stuttgart area we went there by car this time. Still I already had to leave the house at 8:30 in the morning. We all met up at Stuttgart mainstation and than directly drove to the castle to meet up the others. There we had a guided tour through the rooms...unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside T^T Some of the rooms were really pretty and would have made a great scenery though.

新年会 - Welcoming the new year in Japanese ;)

Hello sweeties <3

On Saturday the local Lolita group was invited to yet another special occasion. For the Shinnenkai (New Years Party) of the German-Japanese Society in Stuttgart our group was invited to hold a speach about our favourite fashion. We were all really excited and although not everything went as planned and some plans had to be changed the event was a success and we were complimented for our outfits by the audience ^^ I think we gave them a closer understanding about the fashion and that Japan isn't only tea ceremony, ikebana and "traditional japanese arts" but that it also has a rich youth culture that you shouldn't overlook when learning about Japan.

My outfit for the occasion was something hime-inspired - I call it Sweet Hime Lolita...but you can call it what you want *haha*

 Mirror-Shot...I love my new mirror so much that it nearly is silly xD 

Outfit-Rundown:

OP: Angelic Pretty "Powder Rose" - Tights: Ernstings Family - Shoes: Lovelyshoes - Wig: Lockshop - Accessories: bought at Kaufland xD" - Rose: H&M - Crown: Claire's - Earrings: Vanilla's Traumfabrik

Teaparty in Stuttgart

Hello sweeties <3

The week is finally over and I have time to post about last Saturday :) As I might have mentioned the local Lolitas had their monthyl meet-up and this time it was a teaparty. The Orga ordered two delicious cakes for all of us, prepared some games so that we can get to know each other and made the event just awesome ^^ We also received a little present from the Orga <3 And I also won a bento box for getting the most points in all the games *yay* 

The location was really pretty and there were many spots to take nice pictures at Cafe Stöckle but unfortunately my Smartphone sucks and I didn't come around to buying a new camera yet ^^" 

 

I really liked my outfit on that day...I tried a mix of sweet and hime but I don't know if I succeeded xD Anyways, I love the combination of light blue and pink :)

 With gorgeous Lalaina :)

Chocolate Cake *om nom nom*

Thanks again to the Orga for preparing this awesome teaparty and those cute gifts <3

After the teaparty I went home with my japan-travelbuddies and we finally ordered our Japan Rail Passes ^^b And as a bonus I received an awesome treat *points down*

It was so delicious <3

Have a nice evening~

January Meet-Up

Hello sweeties <3

Two weeks into the new year and we already had our first Lolita Meet-Up. This time we went to Crailsheim to visit an exhibition about Santa and the Easterbunny...and although it was pretty small it was very interesting :) After the exhibition we also had the opportunity to look around in a bath house from the middle ages...it was really interesting to hear how the people from that time got clean. As not everyone was rich and could afford his own bathtub during that time many people had to go to puplic baths to get clean ;) Nowadays you can't imagine a house without shower but 600 years ago this was normal *haha* I am really glad that I am living today xD

After the exhibitions we went to a sweet little cafe, had tea/coffee and really tasty but totally sweet cakes and we talked a lot as we all had some catching up to da :)

Meet-Up Outfit:

JSK: Baby - Blouse: h.Naoto - Cardigan: Bodyline - Shoes: Leche by Yosuke - Belt: ebay - Fur Collar: H&M - Headbow: H&M - Starclip: Chocomint - Tights: Claire's - Earrings: Vanilla's Traumfabrik - Necklace: Meta - Wig: Lockshop

On Sunday I went to Ludwigsburg with my collegues to have a special tour through the castle but about that I will talk in my next post ;)
