My Christmas Wishlist

Let's start by saying that this is not one of those wishlists where followers/readers are supposed to pick one item and buy them for the blog's owner XD I'm just doing this because I want to show you some pretty stuff I like, ok XD? Ok :D.

So, since this is a fashion blog, I'll only share things I'm interested in fashionwise. Of course there are going to be dolls (you know exactly which dolls) but since my passion for them has roots in their amazing outfits, I think they're totally in topic.

In random order…


1. Pink oxfords.




No, ok, these ones are my top priority. I just need to have them. I'll buy them myself, I don't care, I just want them so bad.

2. Flocked Cardigan.



They've run out of my size practically everywhere, but I'm not giving up on this cardigan.

3. Red corseted skirt



I've been drooling over this skirt for ages. It isn't very expensive in itself, what scares me is shipping costs and most of all THE CUSTOM DUTIES OF DOOM.

4. White tights

5.  Blondie Locks



6. Cupid



7. Skelita Calaveras



8. Loverdose Tattoo by Diesel

This is quite unusual for me, wishing a fragrance, but I'm in love with its packaging, and its smell is just fantastic.

Uhm, I guess this is it! The other things I'd like to have are mostly figures (well, more like exclusively), but I don't want to bore you with those, since I know many of you are not familiar with mangas and animes.
Have you done your wishlists yet? What would you like to get for Christmas? You can share pics in the comment if you wish, I'm always glad to see beautiful clothes <3

My 25th birthday ^^

Uhm, I'm a bit late... like, almost 20 days late... XD but my boyfriend handed me the pictures just the other day D:

And next time I swear I'll post the pics of the Muse concert X'D

Well, let's start with my outfit :D

I finally got the chance to wear that dress! (And those gloves, but mostly the dress)
Sadly, it's not that flattering on me. I mean, the top part of the dress is an actual corset with boning and everything, so it kind of flattens my chest XD
But since it's so pretty, I don't mind. I kind of like the outfit I pulled out; but I'd like to wear that dress in some other way than with the usual fishnets&platform shoes. Do you have any suggestions :/?

And these are the presents I got.

Let's see them all in detail :D

The bag was from a coworker of my dad. She was such a doll; she brought me to a shop and told me to pick a bag. I chose this one 'cause I needed something to go with sweet and classic lolita outfits, and coloured clothes in general. It's cute, isn't it?

That figure over there is KAWORU <3
He's a character from Neon Genesis Evangelion (well, actually, this one's from the Rebuild of NGE). I already had two Medicom Real Action Heroes figures of Evangelion; I've been eyeing this one at the comic shop for (I'm not kidding) THREE FUCKING YEARS. Three years of me looking at it drooling and mumbling "one day you'll be mine, one day I swear I'll have the money and you'll finally be mine". In fact, the only reason why I hadn't bought it yet was that it is EXTREMELY expensive. I'd already spent pretty much the same amount of money on Rei and Asuka, and I'd done it gladly, but would not spend so much money for him, even though I wanted it so badly.
But my boyfriend knew how much I longed for it, so, together with my friends and his family, he managed to buy it.
When I opened the package, basing on the shape of the box and on its colour, I knew what it was even before I actually saw it. Then I started screaming.

And since my boyfriend wasn't satisfied with that huge present he had made me... he also bought me a book he knew I wanted because he had heard me saying that at a bookshop. He remembered that. Plus he bought me books!! No one ever buys me books (except for him :D) even though people know I'm quite the bookworm. I guess that's because I talk about clothes and figures more than I do about books but that's just because very few of my friends enjoy literature, so I just keep the topics shallow. I'm so lucky my boyfriend knows me so well <3
(Oh! It's Vanity Fair by Thackeray by the way :D)

My boyfriend also made me this birthday card; it's meant to represent my own throne XD while the various stuff represent him and my friends. He made them with magnets so that I could move them around the drawing XD that was so incredibly sweet.
I'm so grateful to have such a thoughtful and loving boyfriend, and not only because he buys me great presents. Anyone can buy you expensive stuff, but it isn't necessarily stuff that you like. You can tell who really cares about you when you realize that they've been listening to every single thing you've said and that they've kept it in mind in order to make you happy. This really means a lot.

And lastly...
I really don't know what to say here; talking about people who take note of what you say and remember that and then make you amazing surprises.
While it's kind of normal coming from your boyfriend and/or close friends and/or parents, I would never, ever had expected this from someone who has never even seen me face to face.
I'm talking about Caitlin and her unbelievable kindness. I don't even remember where I said I wanted Cupid, maybe in some comments many entries ago. And I don't know if this was meant to get to me on my birthday, but it did, and if it was, it would be even more surprising to me because that would mean that she remembered that one year ago I mentioned when my birthday was.
I mean: there's a super sweet girl who lives on the other side of the world who cared about my tastes and wishes more that the majority of the people I see on a daily basis.
How awesome is that, when people surprise you in such a good way? It warms your heart, doesn't it? As for me, it really made my day.
So, Caitlin, if you haven't read my email yet, let me thank you so much for what you did. More than the doll itself (which I truly wanted, and immensely liked!), what really moved me was your thoughtfulness, and your generosity. I hope I can get in touch with you soon ;)!


Oh, and also, my relatives gave me money and my parents decided to pay for most of the expenses due to me scratching the side of my car D: which was all their fault by the way 'cause they are the ones who decided to destroy our gate and build a new one that's even narrower, I'd never scratched my car before so that means that it's EXTREMELY difficult to get through our new gate, everyone says so -.- but oh well, enough complaining; in the end I was lucky they agreed to pay for most of it as a birthday present X°D.

Have a nice Sunday ;D and thank you for reading!

Draculaura Picture Day + Outfit!

Hi :D!

How are you doing?
I've been doing fine: lately I've bought some new figures I wanted and a new Monster High Doll. It's a Draculaura (what a shocker!), to be precise the Picture Day Draculaura. She's super cute.

Awww! She's lovely. I fell in love with her shoes and her hairdo. One thing I love about Draculaura is that they're basically working with three colours - black, pink and white - and the same perky goth style, and they always come up with original and amazing outfits.

I couldn't take a better picture of these shoes. I don't know about you, but I would wear them instantly.

I love how detailed the accessories are. 

Make-up and earrings <3 they're little pink cammeos <3

And a close-up on her hairdo. She has odangos and the cutest hairband.

I have nine Monster High Dolls right now, and I'm planning on purchasing a new one, Catty noir: just look at it.

I just can't not have it. Black skin and pink hair *__* this might be the most beautiful Monster High ever produced. I just hope it gets to Italy :/

And then there's the outfit <3 which I wore yesterday night to hang out with my friends.

Those leggings were a great purchase, I'm wearing them almost everyday :D. They just go with everything I own. Luckily, yesterday night it was quite cold and I got the chance to wear my beloved New Rocks <3

I also got compliments from a Kiko salesgirl who noticed my ring and went "omg I love you so much for wearing that ring" and asked me where I'd bought it, and I told her I'd bought it at a manga shop, and the other salesgirl turned around and went "did you buy it at *name of the manga shop*? I want it too, I'm so jealous, it's so amazing" and that went on for a while XD (all this while I was paying for my lipgloss, so we kind of blocked the line XD)

Sometimes people stop me to compliment me on some of my accessories, it usually happens with this ring and my Jeffrey Campbell spiked Litas :D I told my boyfriend that THIS is the reason why I freak out every time I go out without the right accessories. How many compliments from strangers am I missing by leaving them at home?!

Does it ever happen to you, to have some strangers complimenting you on your look :)? Isn't it the nicest feeling in the world <3?

 

Meeting with Amélie Nothomb + Outfits + Monster High Dolls + Easter gifts!

Hi!

I should really post more often, so that I don't find myself editing uploading dozens of pictures in one time because I've kept procrastinating for weeks xD.

These have been quite nice weeks: first of all, I met Amélie Nothomb, which is one of my favourite writers; I'd met her in Verona a few years ago and this time she came to my hometown, Venice, so I had no possible excuses for not meeting her.

And I was lucky because the bookshop where the meeting took place was extremely small and we weren't that many people, so we were all very close to her and we had the chance to talk to her, even thought the actual presentation of the book was later in the afternoon, in a theater. I had to go to my boyfriend's niece's birthday, so I was forced to miss the event; this meeting was just for signing copies and reading some pages of the book (and of the tale it took inspiration from) outloud, but, as I said, it was all very informal and I got to talk to her a lot.

I asked her if she had liked Stupeur et tremblement's movie, and she told me that she had, and that they were going to make movies out of her last two books. I also asked her if some of my thoughts on the characters and on the structure of their interaction were correct, and she said that she agreed with me.

Here we are talking together <3 she even complimented me on my french and asked me where I'd learnt to speak it that well. She really is a nice woman.

And she told me my outfit was very elegant and asked my if there are shops that sell this kind of clothing in Venice :D (I had told her I live there)
She's one of us, guys. Last time I saw her she had a gothish attire too. Later an interviewer asked her the reason why she dressed in such a weird way, and she just answered: "Well, there's no actual reason for that. I just think that black is very elegant. Plus it's really just a skirt and a coat, no big deal."
She's DEFINITELY one of us :D.

And this was my outfit <3 you can see Venice on the background. I didn't take pictures because well, I see Venice very often, but maybe some of you have never seen it and might be interested :O I'll take more pictures at the Harajuku Fashion Walk that'll take place in Venice on June.

This is the outfit I'd planned to wear for this meeting, but since I had to walk and these boots are NOT meant for walking, I went for something simpler.

And here are a few more outfits!

And finally, my new Monster High! I had a 25% discount for this supermarket, so I decided to use it for a new doll :D. This is Frankie Stein Super Sweet Sixteen. Finally I have it!

As you may have noticed, she has a minidress that's supposed to be a gift for Draculaura. So I took one of my Draculauras and changed her outfit :D and I think she looks even better than before!

That dress is perfect with those shoes and this toned down summery style.

And speaking of Monster High... look at what my boyfriend bought me for Easter <3!

A Monster High egg <3<3<3<3! And this is what I found in it:

A pen XD.
He also gave me (<3) a book I wanted to read. It's The Perks of Being A Wallflower; we had seen the film together and he had liked it very much, so I guess he counted on me lending him the book once I'd finished it XD

Well, that's all! I guess my Bodyline wig review'll have to wait (for me to get a chance to wear it, I suppose).
Thank you for reading and have a nice sunday ;*!
