Treasure hunting

Woah, another post for this week (see, I am trying!!). :D Anyway, I wanna show you some of the recent treasures I have managed to find. :3

This small shelf was originally white. I bought it from a flea market a while ago, I think it cost less that 2e... then I just painted it black. Now it holds our umbrellas, sunglasses, shopping bags, lighter etc. by the front door because we always forget to take those things with us when leaving the house. :D

I already had the Absolut Vodka Rock Edition bottle skin but recently I found the Masquerade skin too! Yay I've been looking for that for ages! And it only cost 50 cents at a flea market. :P

I bought a lamp from a flea market but the bastard didn't work! I returned it and thank goodness the seller agreed to take it back. Anyway it was a bit of trouble for me so I marched straight to Kodin 1 and found this terrible piece of lighting. :D It was last one, all dusty and hanging in the ceiling and the sales person agreed to sell it for me for only 9e and I also got the light bulb attached to it for free. Anyway, since orange isn't really my color I decided to paint the whole thing black. Here's how it turned out.

I think it's just perfect for me, a match made in heaven. <3 Well, at least for now. I still want to modify it a bit though... maybe I'll add some white lace to it or something? Or feathers! :D Ps. this is our "huge" kitchen, what do you think, should I show you the rest of our place too? :3

I bought these shoes for my sister's graduation party. They only cost 1,5e, however, they seemed a bit too boring for me. So I took some studs that are originally from my old Demonia Torments and pimped them a bit. Here's the result!

Somehow, they remind me of Lady Gaga. :D And of course they are bad ass. ;P Anyway, they are supposed to go with this faux leather dress that I made from an old skirt. :3

This other outfit (vest + skirt) is a flea market find. The whole thing cost only 2e and for some reason I get this  cool steam punk vibe from it. :D Also I think it's quite old and excellent quality. By the way, I'm sorry I have virtually no make up on in these photos. I had a terrible hangover and I just didn't feel like putting on much for a day home... :D

    

These hoodies aren't actually new, but I made them both smaller so they feel new to me now. :D I especially love the Type O Negative hoodie which is an old flea market find and huge in size. I took it in severely and now it looks like a dress, how cool is that? xD

And last but not least I found more bones when I visited our summer cottage again! Here are those. I think the long one is a rib from a seal and the small one is upper jaw of some bird, maybe a shelduck.

So... there was all this new stuff I've gotten. :P And now I want to ask you... do you think it would be better to change the language of this blog to Finnish? For now I seem to have only Finnish readers but... I sort of like this language and of course it's good for my language skills. ;P What do you think, should I?

Movie time!

Hi again! Sorry about this small blogging break I've had, I've been super busy with school. We had this course where we had to make three short films and I took part in two. On the other film I was screenwriter, director, gaffer (the guy working with lamps) and editor and in the other film I was responsible of boom (the mic) and sound. The cover of the first film looks like this.

If it's ok with rest of the film crew I try to upload this on youtube and link it here too. :) But anyway I was thinking that I could just tell a little bit of what I have been doing the last few weeks. And show pictures!

As you all propably know, Finland won the World Championship in icehockey. Yay! I've played icehockey myself for several years. And of course when Finland won I was super happy and we just had to go celebrate a little. :D Here's a picture of how wolf and I looked that night. Yay for beer and blue lipstick. :D

We also had another reason to celebrate. Wolf and I had our "three years engaged" anniversary. <3 We just prepared great food, exchanged gifts and had a good time together. <3

 I just love steaks made by Wolf, that guy sure knows how to cook. <3 Btw, the cultery in the picture is a recent flea market find. Six steak forks and six knives (all stainless steel) together only 1,50e!

Wolf bought me Mango shower gel and body lotion from The Body Shop. I just love the scent. <3

Here's a (really bad) photo of the card that I made for Wolf. :3 I also gave him a silver ring with a black stone and a dirty book. ;3

Yay and Wolf also took some pictures of me on the balcony. :3 The sunset was so pretty too. <3

And finally like about a week from our anniversary we decided to go see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I liked it very much although not as much as I liked the three previous ones. But that mermaid sure was dreamy. <3

From now on I will try my best to blog more regularly, maybe later this week or the next... of course I could just tell you the rest about how I've been lately but I'm simply too tired to do that right now. I have a terrible hangover because we had our karonkka (to celebrate the finished short films) yeasterday. Also my elbow is busted and I have huge blisters in my feet. :D But I had so much fun though. xD Anyway, see you in a bit! I hope... :D

Finally I have decided

...to show my face to you! I've been thinking that this blog lacks personality and I also think it's because I don't have a face. I liked being anonymous, I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to matters like these, but I'll try to be brave from now on. ;)

Anyway. I've made a couple of small trips recently and since I'm too busy to talk about them right now I'll just share some holiday pictures. :D

Remember I told you that Wolf had this school related drinking fest and while he was in there I went to party with a friend of mine? Here's a quick snapshot to show my outfit for the night (I decided to go as trashy as usual and it was a good decision, yay ^^).

 A week after that we went to visit our families. We also spent a couple of nights at our summer cottage and I skinnydipped even though the sea was still full of ice! I tell you it was cold. :D I also made a great find: two spine vertebras (I think they are from a seal). I found them laying on the beach and I think I want to craft something cool out of them. ;)

We also visited some friends and played frisbee with their children. For some reason I look kinda evil in all pictures as you can see. :D

 Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from Walpurgi's night, except of the pizza I made. :D Anyway, student jumpsuit, booze and sauna pretty much sums it up. And the pizza was yummy. :P

But as I said I'm in a hurry. :D I'll post something more interesting when I have more time. :) Hope you readers had a nice Easter and Walpurgi's night too!

/b/

This post is going to be pretty random, but I have some pictures to post so... :D Bare with me.

First some shopping, which I wasn't able to label under clothing or home decor. :D A couple of books (haven't finished them yet, though) and a make up bag. All these are from from different flea markets. The books were 1e each if I remember correctly and so was the make up bag I think. Can't really recall but nevertheless they weren't expensive...

Secondly, some recent sewing. I made my pvc pants a bit tighter and added belt loops. They oftentimes tend to fall down since they are so slippery... but not anymore! The fishnet hoodie was also way too big for me, but now it fits perfectly. <3 It's one of my new favourites. :) And finally, the pinstripe shorts weren't shorts at all originally, they were badly ripped full lenght pants... Now they seem nice and neat again and make a great pairing with that corset don't you think? :3

And thirdly, food. <3 Baking and prepairing food seems to beone of my favourite thigs to do nowadays. :) This one night I made hamburgers from scratch to go with some left over potato croquettes. Thay turned out to be humonbgous. Seriously, I think they weighted like 1kg each. o_o But they were delicious. <3 Self made bun, about 0,25kg mincemeat beef with some onion and garlic, couple of lices of processed cheese and some leftover regular, fried egg, couple of slices of leftover bacon, salad, tomato, cucumber and light salad dressing. Wolf said that on our first date I shoud have just haanded him a burger like that and he would have been sold already. :D <3 The way to a man's heart goes through his stomach they say... :D Oh and I also some oven baked apples and oat with vanilla sauce for dessert that night. I didn't make the vanilla sauce though, it's this. It's just delicious. <3 And the last picture is a Fallout themed mudcake I made for my friends birthday. :D I used Marabou mint krokant chocolate and it turned out fine. :3

Phew, just one more picture left to share with you! I dyed my roots again the other day and decided to try out something new with Wolf's hair with the left over dye. What do you think? Cool huh? Btw, he went for a couple of drinks that night and some girl tried to hit on him pretty persistently, so I think I didn't do half bad with his hair. :D

Ah. So there, some glimpses of my recent life. :D This doesn't include last weekend though, but I had a blast! Delicious food, booze, cute animals, dancing, gig and an awesome girl to hang out with, what'snot to like? I dessed up all in black pvc and felt pretty, maybe I'll post you a picture later? :3 And I didn't have much of a hangover despite the huge amount of consumed alcohol, wtf? :D Definitely an awesome weekend. <3

Anyway, this was all for now. Buh-bye. <3

Le Maistre Chat, ou Le Chat Botté

Hi again! I have had a very good week indeed since some of my recent purchases have finally arrived home! I havent actually updated any of my shopping here for a while so maybe I'll just do that now. :3

First things first: shoes. <3 My beloved old military boots have reached the end of their journey at least when it's wet outside. They have huge holes in them... Actually allmost all my shoes have holes or they are otherwise broken so I decided to buy a couple of new pairs. The fake UGG boots were from flea market and cost only 2e. Something to wear in winter for flea market shopping and lazy and lonely days in school. The New Rock shoes and the Converse sneakers were actually a very, VERY late birthday gift from myself and Wolf. Both pairs are from huuto.net. New Rock shoes cost about 80e with postage and the Converse sneakers were 25e with postage. So together 105e. Both pairs were in really good shape and I simply adore them. <3 Now I have comfy but bad ass enough shoes for both summer and winter, yay! Money well spent. :3

This skirt I bought propably a month ago from a flea market. It only cost 30cents! I simply love small town flea markets, stuff there us sooooo cheap. <3

 

Finally, some basic, everyday clothing. The opened a new flea market near our home couple of months ago and I made awesome findings immediately! Levi's 501 jeans cost 1,50e and they are in really good shape! The basic black top cost 10cents and so did the basic black hoodie. So cheap. *____*

I have all this clothing now, but I still don't know what should I wear this weekend. I'm going out drinking & dancing with one of my girlfriends and even though I'm very much looking forward to it I'm nervous. Wolf isn't coming with us since he's attenting this school related drinking fest (:D) and I'm not sure if I want to look as trashy as I usually do without him. ._. You know I really love him and most of the time I dress up just for him... for myself too, but... Argh I guess I'm just worried I will either get too much unwanted attention or that I'll look and feel like a total wall flower. -_-; You guys ever have these kind of issues? Agh, despite of feeling like a total man most of the time I must be a girl after all... Closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. :D

Bat cave home decor.

Hello and sorry about the rather long period of silence. I've been very busy with school projects and hosting some relatives during weekends. Wolf became uncle recently, but his poor little niece was born badly premature and will be hospitalised until summer. So Wolf's brother and his girlfriend will spend weekends here with us to visit their newborn daughter (so they don't have to drive nearly 300km every day to see her). Anyway, been busy, forgive me. :D

But now, back to the title. ;) We have been decorating our little bat cave a bit and I thought it could be fun to show you. :)

Ta dah! We made a semi baldachin for our bed! Now I feel like a (rather twisted) little princess! We drilled three hooks on the ceiling (one for each corner) and then used chain as curtain rod. The curtains I already had, the chain costed around 15e and the hooks and a bunch of other home renovation stuff cost aroud 5e. So the whole thing was fairly cheap and easy. :)

Another cool thing we got for our home was this. Our neighbour moved out and left this beauty behind. So yay, more room for jackets! I want to hold a party soon just to test drive this. :D

And finally, I did some shopping. I got new candleholders (can't remember what they cost, 1 or 2 euros all together I suspect) from fleamarket. And then a real treasure! A new slave mug! I collect these things. I have two white mugs that say: "ORJA" and "THE SLAVE" and now I found a black "THE SLAVE" mug too from the flea market, only 1e. :3 And finally I bought new drinking glasses from Halpa Halli, a package of three was 3,90e and I bought two... rather expensive for me, but I've been lusting for those for over a year. :D

 

By the way, I have once again reached my goal weight. But I have to say I've grown tired of this gaining/losing weight issue. I think I just want to stop staring at the scale and start listening to my body more. I am not sure if I can do it. I've been on a diet for over two years now and it has become kind of a habit. To count calories and not allowing treats for yourself and so on. But I will try. I've been baking like crazy for our guests and for Wolf and myself too so I'll share a couple of more pictures with you.

The first one is a picture of a mudcake I baked for Wolf's brothers birthday. Not very pretty, but simple and yummy. :) The second picture is our breakfast yesterday. Full grain bread rolls, bacon, fried eggs, ham, processed cheese, cucumber and tomato. All this and coffee served with Fringe season one. I have absolutely fallen in love with that series. :D But now I'll go have a shower and start preparing food for the hungry Wolf (self made hamburgers and oven baked apples and oat with vanilla sauce as dessert). Have a great Sunday all you readers. <3

Busy with having fun.

Long time no see, sorry about that. ^^; I turned 22 couple of weeks ago and a week from that we had our winter break and we went to visit our families and friends so I haven't really had time to blog. Anyway, I thought I could show you some of my recent shopping and b-day gifts. :3

First, the birthday gifts. The little black Moomin jar is from my mom. The bigger one I bought from the flea market (can't remember what it cost... around 3e I think...). The Lord Nelson tea and a piece of Lush shower... thing (:D) are from a classmate and the Maybelline Forever Strong Midnight Blue nailpolish and mini tri-pod for my camera are from another classmate. :3 Thank you. <3 We were a bit broke both Wolf and I so he baked me a cake and we agreed that when we have more money and I find something I want to have I can go and buy it as my b-day present. :3 The cake and the party was great, our little flat was once again filled with drunk people (mostly guys though, I need to find more girl friends :D) and Wolf encouraged all the guys to go topless for me (gotta love that man <3). So a great party indeed. ;D Anyway, back to the shopping.

Knitted cap from the flea market, 50 cents, gloves from the flea market, 20 cents, a scarf from the flea market, 50 cents and a belt from the flea market, 50 cents.

The pvc-skirt from the flea market, 3,5e I think and a wet look shirt from the flea market 2e. The skirt is from Allure Leather and it is a size s (I usually wear xs) and it was way too small for me (!) but I modified it a bit and now it can be worn as in the picture, with tulle skirt under it. :3

And last but not least, I recently did some modeling for a friend. They have a movie coming out soon (check out the teaser here) and they needed a model for their fan t-shirts. Of course I agreed! And I was so happy to receive one of their t-shirts as a reward. :3 Here is it. <3

By the way, I have been thinking if I should start showing my face here on the blog too. If I do that, I could show you some party pics, modelling pics etc... but of course that means giving up my anonymity... then again it would be easier to make friends with people if they would recognize me. :DD

Ps. During my b-day and the winter break I gained weight... but I enjoyed every mouthful! Anyway, It's back to dieting... darn. :P Well, I will start dieting tomorrow so I'll post about it later. Now, I'll go do my evening exercise and watch Sex and the City movie. :3
