New clothes!♥

I know it's not Sunday anymore. Yesterday I was sure it was still Saturday, and by the time I was going to bed I realized what day it actually was. I guess it's because I spent almost whole day crafting shoes for dolls. I was done by 0100am and very tired... Oh, I never mentioned that I've got a thing for dolls? ;D

However I got to finish what I started and I'm quite proud of the tiny shoes I've made. I don't have any pictures now, but I might post about them at some point.

.......

Anyway, on with the new post!

As I've told you all, I was visiting my family in Nummela, and I brought back some new clothes.
I went shopping with my mother and since one clothing shop that sells clothes for fat women, we decided to go and check if there'd be anything for me.

And there was! I finally got myself some black capri pants!♥ 
No more hot summer days in long black jeans. Unfortunately I have no picture of those pants, but they're quite simple, fitted capris with few silver studs.

I also got myself two new, very light knitted shirts. They're great for all seasons, especially summer since they're very light, so it won't get too hot when wearing them. 
And yes I wear long sleeves in the summer since I get sunburnt so easily, and I hate using sunblock, especially because it's so thick and sticky, and I'd have to add it once every 30 minutes... 
And finally I have some other colours in my closet! And I've got couple pictures of those shirts.


^ The first one is quite long, and even thought here it looks like dark bright orange, it's more like bright coral. 



^ This one is shorter, sleeves too. Material is same in both shirts. And I love the dusky rose colour it has♥

.......

Next I have two dresses to show. I got these from my friend♥ She was selling them in a online auction, but knowing that she'd never get much from them, she thought it would be better to give them to someone who knows their worth. Plus I've always wanted to have 50's dresses, but never had the money or never found dresses with nice patterns and correct sizing.
And the reason my friend didn't keep them herself, was her huge boobs :D 
Too big for the dresses. So finally something good came out of my small tits. yay♥

Both are halter neck dresses and knee length.


^ First dress has pink peonies (and some other pink flowers etc..) on it. 


^ Close-up of the flowers, sweetheart neckline. This dress also has a belt made from same floral fabric.


^ Second dress has more tropical feel to it. Parrots, pineapples, hibiscus flowers and monstera leaves.


^ And very fancy neckline.

.......

I've also gotten something small for myself. I bought a beautiful chiffon shirt from eBay (it was less than 5€!). And to my surprise, the size was perfect, even thought I was feeling a bit doubtful. After all, I got it from china, so the size was, what, Chinese XXXL? Not sure. Thankfully they had centimetre measurements there, so I was quite hopeful. And it was just perfect for me, plus with such a low price (and even the quality is great!) I might even get another one.

I also got myself another jewellery "stand", or in this case, a hanger. Because the ones I've gotten from eBay are already full...

Anyway, some pictures!♥


^ My second white cloth in ten years! Love the chiffon fabric, it's very light, and it's not too translucent. Perfect for hot summer days.


^ Also liking the black lace very much, plus the "formality" of this shirt, meaning cuffs and collar. It is a pullover shirt (so the buttons are there just for the looks), and clearly it's made for people with very small heads and no glasses. I have to take off my glasses to be able to get this shirt on. And even my false eyelashes are in danger :P


^ And this baby I got from Tiger! I can hand earrings, necklaces and bracelets to it :3

.......

And last, but not least, is a souvenir from Nepal! 
As some of you may remember how I told about my dad and little brother hiking over there, conquering Himalayas :P
Dad got me two of them, one for me and one for my fiancé.

Made from yak fur (smells like animal!♥).


^ Picture is quite dark, even with all the possible lightings I could get...

.......

Unfortunately this is all the time I've got for now, I need to start getting ready to go out. A package is waiting for me at our local post office, can't wait!♥
Also, I'm quite busy this week, but I'll do my best to get that darn nail varnish post up, hopefully next weekend! I've only got to take couple new pictures and that should be it!

And off I go, see you!
Byebye!♥

Finally, my favourite shoes!

Whew. This week has gone past so fast. But I finally made it, and got this post done!
At first I wasn't sure if I'd actually make it this week, but I did! I'm not that proud of myself thought, since this post was supposed to be up last Sunday :P


But life happens when you don't want it to.


Anyway, on with the show! 

I won't be posting about my winter boots since I'm not using them any more, so this is going to have only my spring/autumn and couple summer shoes.
(Some of the pictures are very dark, even thought I had all the possible lighting.. I even used a torch.. :F )


.......

First let's start with the pair I've already mentioned couple of times. My Jeffrey Campbell Spike Litas. I was actually very lucky with these. They were on sale so I got them for around 120-130€. Not sure.. They were 95£ plus postage.. 
Anyway, normally they would've been (at least on some sites..) 150£ or more.. Which is a lot! And in Finland the price would be even higher (200€ on one site..). 



^ Tadah! I really love these shoes, they're the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, and they look magnificent! Heel is 13cm, platform is 5-6cm.

.......

Next is another lucky find! My lovely Lola Ramona Pippi boots! I also got these from sale. I had been drooling after these boots for a year, but the price had always been way too high for me until I found my way to their original site... 
They were only around 100€! <3 (Original price from Finnish retailer was over 300€ if I remember it correct..) They were on sale since they're no longer available. 


^ I had to stuff one of the shoes with bubble wrap and a stick to make it stay up.. :P
And the white stripes ended up looking yellow for some unknown reason.. But they're white! Well.. Cream coloured.. :D
Heel is 10cm, platform is 2cm.

.......


And here we have another pair of boots; Blowfish Toshi. And they're my very first pair of flat boots. I really love the design on these boots, and they were originally bought to be my winter boots, however.. They have openings right on top of my foot. 
So there's no way I could walk in the show with these on. I can't remember the price, I think it was around 50€.. They're no longer sold at the site I got them from.. :/


^ More low quality pictures. But at least the details show up nicely in the close-up picture :)
(The opening I mentioned, is right under the most bottom 'button', and is about 10cm x 5cm big.)

.......

Next is a pair of red suede ankle boots. They're Andiamo's Bernice, and I got them from Finnish shoe shop Kookenkä. There was a short time sale for these boots, so I got them for 40€, instead of the original price of 60€.
They're also my very first pair of red shoes.


^ Again, with crappy quality. 
Heel is around 9cm, platform is 3cm.

.......

Then we have a pair of grey ankle boots/heels I got from eBay for 20€. Originally the heel was also grey, but I added some lace to them, and three black rhinestones to the side.


^ Finally I was able to take 'not-so-dark' picture, thought one of the shoes looks like it's falling :P
My craft project with these is not complete, I need to get something (Mod Podge? :D) to cover all the lace on the heels.
Heel is 11cm, platform is 2cm.

.......

Three more to go! 
Here's a more formal pair of black heels. They don't have any "amazing details" on them, but that's how I wanted these. I've had a huge problem finding heels for me, since I need ones with something to strap them on (My other leg is smaller than the other, so without ankle straps and such one shoe would always come off.. Cinderella moments!). 
But finally, my dearly beloved eBay was there to help me! And with only 30€, it was not a bad deal at all.


^ I fell in love with the lacing detail on these. And they stay on my feet without any problems!
Heel is 10cm, platform is 1,5cm.

.......

Next is a pair of black ankle boots/heels I got from Finnish version of site Brandos. Wildflower: Stylish by Kenza
They were on sale, and were 68€. I think. Normal price is 99€.
They're very high, but still feel very comfortable to wear.


^ Love all the details.
Heel is 12cm, platform is 1cm.

.......

And last, but not least, is my only pair of white shoes. I got these from a Finnish online auction house for 15€.
These are also quite high, but still very easy to wear.


^ And I love the crocodile skin pattern on these.
Heel is 13cm, platform is 3cm.

.......


Hope you enjoyed, I know I did! 
Next post is going to be about my recent eBay purchases, and hopefully I'll get more stuff next week, so the post is probably up on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. But I'm doing my best and hoping for Friday!

And now I gotta go. I've been fixing my pants for the past two days and I'm still only half way done.. I'd really need new ones. I also need new pants to exercise in buuuut.. Not sure when we have enough money to buy both. 

I really want to start taking long walks again, now that it's still not too hot outside, and not wet either.

That's all for today! Hope you had a great weekend and good luck with Monday!

Bags!

Hello and long time no see!

I have been quite busy/tired the past week so I haven't gotten anything done really. I had work for the past four days and by the time I was home I was too tired to do anything, and it was already getting dark enough to have problems taking pictures.

But I finally got the bag I ordered from eBay! So now I can make my "favourite bags" post. 


So, of course, starting with the newest bag. It's a black leather (haven't bothered to check if it's real.. doubt it) with golden metal parts and black lace in the front. Price was around 10 British pounds, so I think somewhere around 15€. 


^ Tadah! And the lining is very cute! Large dark brown polka dots :)
And has a long shoulder strap too, so I can carry it in many ways.


Next is the smallest bag I own, which I got from Lumous Festival XII (a "gothic" festival). Nothing that special about it (the festival), but the bag/clutch is very pretty and feminine. If I remember correct, this one was 20€.


^ Woah! I really love the huge flower it has. And the lining is cute too! <3

Cosmetics! Makeup!

Makeup. So many different ways to do it. And so many personal styles.

I like to try out different styles and colours, especially since I don't wear anything else but black, and occasionally red..


But there are some things I won't skip, no matter the style I'm trying. One is 'flawless' looking skin, a bit like porcelain doll. I love doll makeup look, and I tend to make my eyes look bigger with makeup, since they're really small and behind glasses.


And then there's the black cat eye look with false eyelashes. Of course, to make my eyes stand out more. 


Yesterday was my first time trying out lower lid eyelashes. They really need dark lining under it, or they would look too fake, since my own eyelashes are colourless and barely grow.. I did have some problems with them, they kept on getting stuck to one runaway eyelash from my upper lid. Felt like I was gluing my lids together... Not like it would be the first time :P


I also got a package! I buy most of my cosmetics from Korea, and today it was a bigger package, containing Etude Houses cosmetics. They are the most adorable things ever! Don't believe me? See for yourself: <3



^ Here is the whole thing I got. From left to right: Face powder, blush, highlighter and kabuki brush. And the two flat things are nail stickers. I am so going to save the packages, they're so cute! I can use them for cards and other crafts! ... I've saved pretty much all the korean cosmetic packages since they look so pretty and I can use them later.. 


^ And here they are unboxed. The white one is the face powder (came with the pink powder puff), and the two pink ones are blush and highlighter (came with the white powder puffs). And the flower shaped kabuki brush.



^ And here is a picture of the blush and highlighter. They come in these cute heart shaped bits. The hearts were first in plastic container to keep them securely in place during their trip to Finland. However, in both the center piece was broken. But that doesn't matter, I can still use them! 

The blush hearts have three different shades to them, unlike the highlighter, after looking at them in better light, I realized that even the highlighting hearts have subtle tint to them, such as: blue, yellow and red. I think. I'm blind as a bat so it's hard to say :P Anyway, they're very very cute! I like! <3


^ And here are the stickers. Both have the same lace pattern, but in black and white. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the picture go horizontal.. Well, anyway. Can't wait to try out these!

.......

And that's that. Pretty darn cute, eh? :)
I'll be posting rest of my Korean stuff on another post. And I also need to make a post about my nail varnishes. I was recently able to start growing out my nails and I've been hoarding nail varnishes like crazy. And yes, some are from Korea, again ;)

In my opinion, Korean cosmetics are way better than the ones you can get in Finland. At least for the price they sure are. I can't really say much about some expensive cosmetics, can't afford them.


I guess I need to make few eBay posts. I get most of my accessories from there. And pretty much everything else too.. :)


I'll probably make another post today, depending on what else I need to do today (probably nothing...).


And again I apologise for the picture quality. I can't do any better with my phone.. :F


Anyway! Bye bye!♥



~Are my posts easy to understand?

26 February 2013

Let's start with....?

Hello everyone.

Since I still have no readers, I can't ask anyone what they would like me to post.

So let's start with basics of my lifestyle.

About my style. 

I mainly wear black. Why? I rarely find any other colour to look good on me, or even find good looking clothes with nice colours. And when I do, there's no size. And why is that.. Well, dear readers, it is because I am fat. And there isn't enough big clothes (for a fair prize) for us huge people. And even when I finally find something, I need to get it fixed because
1. It fits on my thighs, but it's too big around my waist. (pants)
2. It's too wide on my calves when it's perfect for my thighs/ass. (pants)
3. It's perfect on my waist, but too small on my hips and boobs. (shirts/dresses)
4. It's perfect on my hips and boobs but too big on my waist. (shirts/dresses)

Argh. First world problems.


However, I like to use colours in my accessories and makeup, since there's rarely any sizing problems with those.. 


Then what about materials/patterns and such? 

I love love love lace. Black lace
I recently bought this pale pinkish-coral coloured loose knitted shirt. It was too bright for me to wear like that, so I went to eBay and got myself some black lace. Then with my fabulous skills of sewing (nope, I suck) I added some lace to the sleeves, and a collar to the neckline. And for a final touch I added a golden button. 



^ And here it is! Please excuse the quality of the picture, my Lumia sucks. 
This was fairly easy to do, considering that I don't know how to sew... :P



Next one is leather. Feminine leather jackets, leather shoes, leather accessories. Hell, if I could find a leather skirt with a good price, I'd get one. But you can't really find those things with an ass as huge as mine. :P

As for patters, I have to go with roses. I love rose pattern, especially on lace.


Black lace and roses do sound quite girly. And I have to admit, I love all girly things possible. However as a huge person, I can't see myself as cute and girly, so I balance it with black, leather, spikes and studs. And what would be the best way to show that? Well of course, my Jeffrey Campbell Black Spike Litas ! <3


Best shoes I have, they are so comfortable to walk in. I recommend these to anyone looking for great looking shoes that won't make your legs bleed. :)




Aren't they pretty!? <3
I hope all the snow melts soon so I can use these again.

Well, I think these were the cornerstones of my style, I might have forgotten something. If I did, I'll add it later.


Byebye!♥
