Hamburg & the Grand Lolita Tea Party - Part I

Hello hello!

I've been travelling again, so there's finally something more exciting to write about!
The Grand Lolita Tea Party itself has been extensively discussed and gossiped about online, so I'm not going to add anything to that.

On Thursday 18th I already had arrived in Hamburg by bus and visited the Planetarium, which was really nice!

In the evening Dani joined me at the hostel and we met up with Kyra and Michaela for dinner. It was so much fun, the food and cocktails were delicious!

Pizza + cocktails = :D <3

Bring & Buy Mini Haul and Dear Celine blouses review

Hello there!

I'm back again and I'm going to throw this post in here - I've been wanting to post about this for months - before I post about some more recent stuff which has been happening!

So a good while ago the Gothic Lolita Austria community held a 'Bring & Buy' event for J-Fashion. I went there with the intenion to buy only what I 'need' at the moment, but oh well...
The items are somewhat in the categories of what I wanted though, so it's cool anyways ;)

I got this BTSSB cutsew in black and white. I really love the lace on the collar and the little details, as well as the colour combination in general.

✵ Music Discoveries : No Frills Twins ✵

Back again!

This time with a series that I'd like to start doing on this blog.
Say hello to 'Music Discoveries' !

Whenever I find time to do so and am energetic enough I like to roam around the internet, on the lookout for fresh, good music!

It happens quite often that I get hooked on some good new stuff  - and this I'd like to share.
Time to spread some music! (•ˇ‿ˇ•)

...onto tonight's catch!

Stumbled across them while browsing through YouTube and now I can't stop listening:

NO FRILLS TWINS

 

June, a true Lolita Event Month

Hello hello again!

I'm really lucky this month it seems - even though I'm kind of buried in exams and studies there are some Lolita related events happening in June about which I'm really excited! (* >ω<)

1. Last weekend was the summer season's International Lolita Day!

2. I'm going to attend the Grand Lolita Tea Party in Hamburg from 19-20th of June!

3. On the 28th some Austrian Lolitas will travel to Gmund, where we will take a boat trip and go out for some delicious food together!

 I'm SO excited about all of them!

Le portrait de Marie

Hello there!

 I've had quite a busy week so far! Today I wrote my first exam for this semester and it went really well (I'm so relieved it did!). Still, I have a second VERY big one coming up on Tuesday, so no rest for the wicked!
 ｡.ﾟ+:((ヾ(｡･ω･)ｼ)).:ﾟ+｡

Besides all the studying I recieved a lovely parcel this week!
Let me tell you a little story first.

After having spent trizillions of hours in front of my laptop gawking at this dress and whining over the expenses I would have to make and tossing and turning it over again and again... one year had passed and I still hadn't bought that dress.

Just recently I finally thought 'OK, I can afford it, I will buy it as soon as I have time.' and then lab week came up and I was all buried in work again. After that week was over I went online to buy it and... it was sold out.

Music and I

Hello there! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I've been wanting to write a little more about one of my biggest passions on this blog: music!

As some of you might know, I'm generally a metalhead with a preference for symphonic and melodic metal, but also a liking for death metal ;)
Classical music is also one of my favourite styles of music. Other than that I also listen to a whole bunch of more music, stylistically spreading all over jazz, medieval, pop and a bit of electronics like industrial.

In general I always give music a chance, but at the same time I think I'm quite a critical listener. What makes or breaks a band for me in 90% of the cases is if the singer is good or not. That way of listening to music might of course occur because I'm a singer myself or because of my pickiness with voices xD

I've been part of multiple bands and projects and am really thankful for all the great opportunities I've had so far.

My most active one at the moment is Daedric Tales, an Elder Scrolls themed symphonic metal band.

My "Kawaii Week"

Hello there!

As promised and just a little belated - here's my 'Kawaii Week'!

The plan was to wear cute stuff and lots of lolita during my one week of Easter break. I met up with friends whom I hadn't seen in a long time and tried to spend my time enjoying (and erhm spoiling) myself!

Day #1:

I went to my friend Mimi's birthday brunch (where the hostess had prepared incredible amounts of marvellous food and we started to drink cocktails in the early afternoon - silly me didn't take any pictures!) and spent some lovely time there. It really had been long since I had enjoyed myself as much as I did that afternoon. ʕ·ᴥ·　ʔ

 Silly pose because my camera's battery died after just a few shots and this turned out OKish, so here you go xD

and a selfie!
