Pin up doll of the month October

Lady luck was on my side! My cosplay of adorable Vampira won the competition of  pin-up dolls here. So now my picture adorns avatar of this community, and I am preparing for them the whole album with my best photos. To tell the truth, I'm really happy! Compete with all these beautiful ladies and win - it's so inspiring! I think now I have the courage to realize all my dreams :)

And the wildest dreams of Kew are the facts in Kathmandu

This quote by Rudyard Kipling was the first that I've read in my guidebook lying on a bed in a hotel in Nepal. I still don't know who was this Kew and what dreams he had, but one thing I know for sure - everything is possible in Nepal. When in April a terrible earthquake struck Kathmandu, I've already bought tickets to this emerald valley. A few months of fears and doubts until we finally decided to try our luck here. Friends and parents have been trying to dissuade us from this crazy trip, but you know what? We have never regretted!

The capital of Nepal is definitely affected  very much. Many people were left homeless and some of the sights lost forever. But local residents have already recovered from the tragedy and life here is in full swing. 

Kathmandu has an amazing array of incredibly beautiful places. Until now, I can't believe I've walked among them. Awesome mix of Buddhist and Hindu art, Indian, Nepalese and Chinese traditions create a peculiar charm of the city. But as in any other country, real life takes place outside the capital. So after a few days of acclimatization and walks through the dusty streets of Kathmandu, we moved inland.

On Tuesday we wear pink

I thought that special attention should be paid to the wonderful dress from the previous post. This dress is "Tuesday" from Lindy Bop. Naturally, I have long been familiar with this brand, and sell their products in my store. But when it came to me personally I was unable to pick up something perfect. The thing is that high waisted clothes don't fit me categorically. And the range of Lindy Bop on 90% consists of such items... I have started to think that is something wrong with my body, when I suddenly saw "Tuesday." This dress looked extremely cute and waist was in the right place. However, there was one doubt. From an early age I had a prejudice against pink. You know, it always associates with Barbie and silly schoolgirls >_< So it took all my stock of courage to finally order it. And guess what? I have never regretted about my decision! Of course, I needed a certain amount of time to get used to a new image. But the result is pleasing me. It was also a very big fun to pick up the suitable accessories. Since this dress evokes candy associations in me, I chose no less sweet handbag in the form of a cake, white petticoat and vintage coral shoes. The magenta peony became the cherry on top of this outfit. I guess it's not difficult to believe that I feel incredibly happy in it. And still a bit schoolgirl... Perhaps that is why I was so drawn to the theme parks lately :D

Starcon 2015

How much time has passed since my last post! It is not that nothing was happening, but there is some mess in my mind and I can not connect two words >_< But something is definitely worthy of mention! I'm talking about STARCON 2015.  It's a great festival of fiction, cinema and science. There were thousands of characters - from Mario to Jesus Christ. Since I am a big fan of The Elder Scrolls, most of my time was spent on embracing with Argonians and Khajiits. Please forgive me, the rest of the beautiful cosplayers! (Just make a reservation, I looked simply awful there)

When I saw you standing there - green eyes, black hair, up against the pink and purple wisteria...

Today I would like to share with you a few thoughts on the retro image of a modern girl. Since I have been selling clothing and accessories in the style of the 50s, I often encounter with the girls, who want to sound like a pretty pin-up beauties of the past. Especially since this is now in vogue. Most often, they simply buy a dress in vintage style, so as not to complicate the task of finding and combination of separates. However, almost no one thinks that this is not enough! 50's style is very multi-layered and full of a variety of items from accessories to shoes. I want to show you on own example how difficult and really exciting at the same time to create a complete image of the different elements. 

For a long time I was crazy about a stunning mint green cardigan by Voodoo Vixen. And of course I ordered it at the first opportunity! But when  I've got it, I realized that absolutely can not find a worthy couple... It spent a few months in my closet until I accidentally stumbled upon a lovely skirt by Zara that is coming to the cardigan tone on tone. 

The next step was the purchase of shoes suited to this tender set. Here I was lucky enough and found a charming little vintage shoes with a small heel that look incredibly feminine.

Usually I wear a little black bag that is fitting almost all clothes. But in this case the black color seemed to me to be too heavy. However, to find something proper was quite simple - and here I am, the happy owner of a charming handbag  in retro style with a cute bow.

To complete the look I needed only accessories. I've chosen wide pink belt and two pairs of hair flowers - green and white orchids. The image has been finished! And I must say that each time appearing in this kit on public, I get a lot of attention and compliments :)

In conclusion I want to say that before buying anything, always think how you will assemble it, this is a very important aspect. And be sure to check out the page of Voodoo Vixen, it is a really good brand, representing a variety of comfy and beautiful clothes. 

With love,
Grace

Indications start to shine: сloud nine – white line – this time I’m on adrenaline!

It seems that since we organized "Rebel Dolls" my destiny  is permanently interwined with bikes. This time I was lucky to see and touch the chic and aristocratic power of motorcycle brand "Triumph". They are simply magnificent! We shot a small set in their salon  for the calendar of one famous café . Wait for details;)
