What’s in my bag:

After seeing this what’s in my bag post on monoxious I decided to do one~
My bag! I got this yesterday, I wanted something semi-”adult” looking and black (most of my bags are pink/have hello kitty on them)
It’s really difficult to find a bag I like, I got this one mostly because it was 50% off and a good size.


And what’s inside it!

  • Minmie dessert case – using this for make up at the moment
  • Pink nintendo DS case – I don’t usually carry this around, in fact I hadn’t used it in forever until recently when I got re-addicted to Pokemon Pearl
  • Hello kitty charm
  • Gold hello kitty clutch
  • Passport
  • Lancôme mascara
  • Glasses
  • Jelly beans I bought yesterday
  • Eyelash curler
  • House key on a handstrap with other charms
  • A half deco-ed mirror
  • Dior make up clutch
  • Swimmer fold-away comb
  • Blackberry Curve 8900
  • Spare battery for my camera
  • Blue beaded bracelet.. I have no idea why this was in my bag. i got in on one of my first dates with Marius in april ‘07.. Thank god it didn’t break..
  • And not pictured: My Panasonic Lumix camera

Right now I am pretty much in the process of trying to move my stuff away from lolita, selling my old lolita clothes to buy new things. Might do another of these posts soon.
Also usually I carry around a notebook and pen (I write lists all the time) but strangely there was not one in there.

2009: My year in review

It’s new years eve! So this post is all about what happened to me in 2009! :)

One of the first photos I took in 2009 (on the 6th of January)

The biggest thing that happened this year was that I moved out of my parents house in England to live in Germany with my boyfriend, Marius.
This happened around Mid-January.


The view from our room in Marius’ parents house.

We lived at Marius’ parents house for a couple months before moving to our apartment.
Me and Marius didn’t like it very much there, but we lived really close to an amazing ice cream cafe.

Related fact: There are a lot of ice cream cafe’s in Bamberg.
We ended up moving to a new place in October, which is a lot nicer and closer to the town centre.

Where we live is verrrry different to where I lived in England, the main thing I think is, it’s very quiet.
I really miss going to London, Bamberg isn’t very.. modern.. O___O
All the stores I am used to aren’t here.. The nearest starbucks is over an hour away!

Also the weather is different, it’s hotter in the summer and it snows a lot in winter – and England was very windy in comparison.
I don’t like most of the food here, there isn’t as much variety. Most of the places to order from are disgusting, and nowhere sells Japanese food.
But Marius is a really good cook so it’s not that bad. :O

I went to the london expo in May with my cousin & my sister, it was so much fun!
A LOT of people cosplay and there were so many amazing ones~ Also the weather was great, really sunny and warm.
I can’t wait until May next year when we can all get together and go again :)



We went to the trocadero in London and played games in the arcade.
I tried macarons from Laduree (in Harrods)
We went to china town a lot, eating in Tokyo Diner *O*

I went to the England again in October
I took a lot more photos as I had my new camera, but I think the expo was more fun in May. :)
There I met Nelsan Ellis (Lafayette in True Blood)!

I went on a cruise (my first cruise) of the baltic sea in the summer:





Top to bottom; Helsinki, St. Petersberg, Stockholm & gourmet restaurant on the ship

We visited Estonia, Russia, Finland, Sweden & Poland.
It was (mostly) fun, especially Helsinki & Stockholm.
Links for each as I made a seperate entry for each place we visited.

I got this laptop:

This cell phone:

This camera:

I loveee them.

Music, TV shows & Games:

I started watching Veronica Mars, Supernatural & True Blood this year!
All 3 are definitely among my favourite TV shows.

I started listening to Lady Gaga

I started playing Pet Society on facebook, which I am now addicted to.
I started playing my xbox 360 a lot again. :) I have many games for christmas that I’ll soon start playing.

I got glasses and found out I have astigmatism. :(

It makes me so miserable to see the difference in how things look when I put on my glasses.. I don’t wear them very much (I don’t like how I look in glasses), but I can’t see well without them, can’t read things from a distance at all..
But I like wearing sunglasses, so it is not as bad during summer.

Yuki got (half O___O) neutered in September. He was verrry sad for a week after the surgery and weak. :(
He had to wear that cone for 10 days.
I think he had a good year other than that haha

Foods: I love steak now *O*!
And bratwurst.
And risotto.
I actually like a lot of foods I always thought I hated, if Marius makes them. :|
I ate a lot of crepes this year xD

My favourite drink of 2009: virgin pina colada. ;O
I love non-alcoholic cocktails, I first tried one on the cruise.. sooo good.
Also frappuccinos! Chocolate creme ones.

Presents I got for my 18th Birthday:

In November me and Marius visited our friend Judith, in Belgium ^^

I had my first christmas in Germanyyy~

Cute lolita dress up game

Versace 2010 Spring/Summer

I love these 2 dresses:




All the stuff I wrote was deleted somehow T____T

Shopping for Coats

I HATE shopping for coats.
In my opinion the vast majority of coats sold in stores are hideous..

Examples of what I think are ugly coats:

Coats I like:

I bought this coat last year:

This cape Blair wears in Gossip Girl.

From the episode Blair Waldorf Must Pie. ^^
I love small capes like that, but it’s too cold here..

This gray Lauren Moffatt coat that Serena wore I also love:~

Heels

I hate shoes

I have never had heels before, because of my height (I am 5′9 and hate being tall ^^;;)


I’ve been thinking about getting some, but I am not sure..

This is the most pathetic list of reasons for doing something ever:

  • they change the angle of the foot with respect to the lower leg, which accentuates the appearance of calves
  • they change the wearer’s posture, requiring a more upright carriage and altering the gait in what is considered a seductive fashion
  • they make the wearer appear taller
  • they make the legs appear longer
  • they make the foot appear smaller
  • they make the toes appear shorter
  • they make the arches of the feet higher and better defined
  • they make the lower leg muscles more defined
  • they make the Gluteus Maximus more defined

Reasons for not wearing high-heels include:

  • they can cause foot pain
  • they can create foot deformities, including hammertoes and bunions
  • they can cause an unsteady gait
  • they can shorten the wearer’s stride
  • See “Foot and Tendon Problems” below for many of the medical reasons.
  • Women who wear high heels frequently have a higher incidence of degenerative joint disease of the knees. This is because they cause a decrease in the normal rotation of the foot which puts more rotation stress on the knee

I know flats are also bad.. So what does that leave me with anyways! T_____T

Gossip Girl: Blair Waldorf’s Style

I just started watching this show!

Gossip Girl is an American drama television series based on the book series of the same name.
The series is known as much for its costume design as it is for its plot. Eric Daman, the series stylist, incorporates rising designers in the series’ costume design.

I looove the clothing in this show!

Especially Blair Waldorf’s style


I LOVE this outfit.

The dress:


She wears a lot of headbands. ♥

I can’t wait to see Michelle Trachtenberg on it!

Seifuku

The sailor outfit (セーラー服, ) is a common style of uniform worn by female middle school and high school students, and occasionally, elementary school students.

It’s common for girls to roll their skirts up as they think it looks cuter (which it does IMO)
At normal length it looks hideous.. Very unflattering. D:

Hwang Mi-Hee  in different uniforms:

Aya Ueto’s wedding dress line~

My favourite:


Such a nice shade of blue *O*
