Halloween Masquerade Party

Hello, everyone!

It's been ages since I last posted, because I forgot my camera to this very masquarade party that I'm only now posting about, and didn't get it back until yesterday. But better now than never, so here comes the belated picture spam from Halloween!

The pictures are pretty bad, because it's so darn dark here - all the time, really. There just isn't a good moment to take pictures anymore because even the so called daylight is pale, grey and washed out. :'D

But anyway, let's start with the outfit pictures. The theme for the Halloween party was masquerade, and everyone was free to interpret it as they wished. I decided to take inspiration from the masquerade balls of the Rococo era.

Me, Lauren and Tiia matched each others outfits, as the source of inspiration was the same.


Sanni was just being gorgeous, as usual. 


Food. I arrived early to the party, so later on there was even more of it (each guest brought something yummy with them).


Here's everyone.


Okay, the proper pictures end here. From now on, it's phone quality and general sillyness. But may I just add that the party was so much fun, I can't remember when I last time laughed so much! Thank you, all you lovely ladies, for the wonderful evening. ♥

Madron Party Outfit

Good evening, my lords and ladies!

No travel pictures yet, because it's really hard for me to find time going through them all, what with being busy with both school and my last work shifts this year.

On Friday, how ever, my darling friend Sari hosted her annual Madron party. I love Autumn, and that's why Madron is my favourite Wiccan sabbath right after Yule. Madron is actually tomorrow, but Sari thought it best that we celebrated a little bit in advance.

Well anyway, parties are a great excuse to wear lolita! I was so happy to wear it at last, even though my hair is getting a little bit too wild - if only I could find time for going to the hairdresser. And those travel pictures.

1921

Hello, lords and ladies!

Last weekend I attended Tiia's housewarming party. She had decided the theme to be 1920's. I desiced to go for an early 20's look, also drawing inspiration from - you guessed it already - the ever so lovely Downton Abbey.

The same old hairdo but hey, I added some braids this time! And actually liked the outcome. :}

Tiia had made delicious foods and ice tea. 



In the end, we ended up at Johannes' (St. John's?) Cathedral. It's my favorite church in Helsinki, it's so beautiful.


Here's (almost) everyone! It was lovely to see how each of the guests had interpreted the theme. From left to right: Hanna, me, Anna, Tiia, Mimi and Katja.


I also made this card for Tiia, because she like faeries.

Millefeiulle

Hello, everyone!

Last weekend we had our traditional Talventappajaiset ("Winter killing", literally) party. This time it was my turn to host it. I had determined the dress code as "cheerful colours" and so I wore bright red, a colour I don't wear much.



I really like this bow shaped vintage brooch, but I'm not comfortable with wearing brooches on my dekoltee area, so I came up with another way to wear it! A bow on top of a bow. I think it works well this way and might do this again in the future. It's such a shame to have a beautiful vintage item and not wear it. :<

I totally fell in love with Spanish tapas culture during our trip to Barcelona, so I wanted to make different kind of tapas for the party. Here's one example. I also made white sangria and torrijas as a desert. All in all I think the party was quite succesful and I hope that my friends liked it, too. :3

Tomorrow Spring Is Here

Yesterday we had our traditional Talventappajaiset ("Winter Killing") party.

First, my outfit. I wanted to wear something Spring-y. Though I prefer classic or sweet-classic nowadays, I still have a soft spot in my heart for the older Angelic Pretty prints. Magical Etoile was one of my dream dresses in this exact colorway - and it still is, in a way. I'm glad I have it. ♥


A close-up of the hairdo. I really don't like to keep my hair loose, it always comes in the way and bothers me. This time I kept it half-loose - and it still annoyed me so much I tied it up later on. x)


My wallet accidentally matched my shoes. :D


And then lots of pictures of the party! There were flowers...


... delicious salad...


... cats...


... green tea...


... home-baked cookies...


... and strawberry sparkling wine.
