I browsed, I saw, I came.

Beautiful Angel-theemed items by Jane Marple.

You probably wouldn't know it from peeking in my closet but I'm such a fan 0f religious iconography. It's not because I'm particularly religious, I'm basicaly an atheist, I just really enjoy "the look". It's long been my plan to start collectiong dresses with religious prints, maybe now is a good time to start?

Melancholy eyes

Theese yellow hig-htops where acctually suppose to be one of my presents from Christmas but the postal service was so slow, I can't belive it!

I'm not much of a sneaker person but I think it's always good to have a pair to throw on for errands and for days when your feet are hurting to get out of heels. I fell in love with them on the site because I think the girl is so pretty! I also love the bright colour, latley I'm a fan of bright blue, red and yellow. I think pastel colours probably suit me better but I need to get this out of my system.

Holy matrimony

I was talking to my mom on the phone today, it looks like my brother and Reiko has decided on a date for their wedding. I'm so exited, I haven't been to a wedding since I was little and Henrik is the first of my brothers to tie the knot. I'm so happy they decided to marry, having Reiko as a sister in law and a part of ouer family is really exiting. The official wedding will be in my hometime and the'll have a smaller cermony for family in Tokyo.Me beeing me I had two things in mind, first of all: Reikos ring is so beautiful! According to Japanese "tradition" the ring costs three months salary, I hope that when I wed my man will follow this too. My mom says she thinks it's an unneccesary amount of money but I think it's quite romantic and shows comittment to the marrige. Hopefully you'll wear that ring for the rest of your life.
Secondly: What will I wear? Many lolitas will tell you that this is one of the hardest occasions to dress for. You want to feel like feel pretty and like yourself but without outstageing the bride or turning it into a freakshow. Dressing down is the key, I had a quick look around some of my favourite brands and I think I found the perfect dress alredy. A lovley Victorian Maiden piece in a kamel cream chiffong with a simple silhouette and chocolate brown accents. I think it will look both beautiful and approriate with some lacy white tights and brown pumps.

What do you think? Has anyone been to a wedding or even gotten married recently?

A longing for spring

I love theese shoes, I love them so much that I might have to get them but if I did I would still have to wait a while to wear them because of the snow. I can't wait for it to melt away so I don't have to wear boots all the time anymore.

Doodeling

I got myself a Wacom tablet so that I hopefully can keep on drawing even though I don't have a workspace for it in my apartment.

It feels weird to convert entierly to digital this late but I've just started and I'm getting used to it faster then I ever thought I would.

The opposite

I just saw "The Opposite" episode of Seinfeld the other day in wich George gains great success in life by doing the opposite of what he would usualy do. Inspiered by this I too decided to go against my nature today and accept the offer to take on work full time instead of the 80% I'm currently working. I'm not quite sure how my own body works at times like theese but the other day I found myself in the mids of a panic attack, sleepless and vomiting at 3 am in the morning, just because I had to work the next day. My instinct is of course to rage quit (or whatever the wuss equivelent of that is) but in an attempt to attain happiness and great success in life, I will do the opposite.
