Cleaning day


Good morning to you all. I finally got proper lighting to my work room yesterday! I'm so happy about this since now I can actually see what I'm doing and not having wait for a clear day so that I can take pictures.
 It is Saturday the day that I think everybody waits from Monday. Today is cleaning day with Mr. Grumpy but before that I had to open my computer and show you few new pics from what I've been doing these last few days.

This black jacket is made out of black pengaline and is quite stretchy. I did not notice that the jacket was this wriggly while taking the pics so bear with me.
 I love the big collar(s) since the right side has a double collar. Short zipper closure in the front. Also sleeves have short 10cm zipper details in the sleeves that I forgot to take pics from. This jacket is for sale at Ateljeekatu.




 Inspiration for making this new dress I got from Black Milk's Fatale dress. I was able to find quite similar spandex that is coated with pvc. I didn't want to make my version fully made out of the spandex and also I did not have enough of the fabric to make a full dress. I really like my version. I have no idea when I'll be able to wear all my fabulous clothes.




Christmas sale has started at Ateljeekatu and all unicorn head bands are in sale!

Small projects

Last Saturday was alternative blogger meetup at bar Klubi here in Tampere. 
Since it was such a cold day as soon as we got indoors I had to drink few cups of warm mulled wine. 
 
It was nice to meet everyone since I was not able to make it to two meetups before this one. It was fun to spend time with everybody and talk about anything and everything. 
 
We sneaked out to take few outfit photos at Klubi's stair case. 
Finally I was able to wear this dress I've had this in my closet for I think 1,5 years and I have not worn it. I love love love the collar since it is so big and can be worn open or closed. I have huge fixation for big collars since they just look awesome.
 
 Or course I do have one other dress in grey with long sleeves that had the same collar. I have worn it more since it is much warmer with long sleeves.


Meetup outfit
Dress: made by me
Necklace: Vivienne Westwood
Shoes: Shiekh


This was my first time wearing my brand new ankle boots. I really like the design since it is quite edgy. They were quite comfortable to wear but really hard to ride a bicycle with. I didn't want to spend money for a bus ticket and I didn't want to wear shoes that aren't high heels so I can only blame myself for this.

 
 For a while I've had this Mr. Grumpy's red silk tie. I was trying to sell it at a flea market since Mr Grumpy has a "better" red tie and did not need this one anymore even thought this one still had tags on. Well his loss my gain. Since nobody bought it I decided to make this hair fascinator out of it. I think I'm still going to add some black beads to the "rose". I think it looks quite cute. I might even be too cute for me but I think I'll be wearing it on Christmas.


As soon as I saw this head band at H&M I knew I had to buy it and alter it a bit. With a cat skull. Don't worry it is not real. I bought the skull from Etsy. Sadly I don't remember the name of the seller. The skull is a bit heavy for this purpose but it stays in my head when the head band is pinned to my hair securely. I have no idea with what I'm going to wear this with but I think I'll figure something out.

Diva days

Too many days has gone by since my last post (lately I have been saying this a lot) but I have been busy and also it has been too dark outside to take any pictures indoors since most of my light comes from the window. I better get better lighting to my office. I know I have been saying that for a while now but now I really need to get better lights since the daytime is getting shorter and shorter every day.

Last Sunday we had yet another photo shoot. The weather was way too cold to be outside without a jacket and gloves but we did it anyways and by looking at the outcome it was absolutely worth it. 

This time the talented photographer was Eliza Rask. The amazing make-up was for me and my models were done by Maano. The models were Didi Ou and blogger Bones & Lilies and me. Big thank you for all who were involved in making this awesome photo shoot happen. Here is a little sneak peek of the pictures that were taken. 

I really can't wait to show you the rest of the pictures!

After getting back home we were able to get warmed up by going to sauna that Mr. Grumpy had warmed up for us. And what would a photo shoot day be with out eating pizza afterwards.


Here's few close-ups of the make-up.




Diva fur part two. I have been looking for a fur jacket for two months now. Not able to find the kind I wanted. Originally I was looking for one that would be crop version with long sleeves. But once again the world was against me and every store offered sleeves that were 5-10 cm too short for me. And none of them were crop version. And buying a fur jacket for a 79.90 € and modify it is totally a no brainier.

Good thing is that I can always make one. Sadly even this is not exactly like my vision since I wanted it to be white and the fur should have been a little longer. I visited the fabric stores many times. One time there was a perfect white fur but that time I had many others fabrics that needed to be bought so I didn't and the next time it was already gone. So what did we learn?

I think it turned out great even thought there were these obstacles. The jacket/shrug has a small high collar and the sleeves are wider at the hem. You'll be able to see pictures of this in use when I post pictures of this from the photo shoot.




 Bag lady is back! As some of you might recognize this it the same "alien skin" fabric that I made a winter jacket for me. The bag is quite large that you can actually fit everything in that every woman needs. Inside there is two small pockets for a phone or keys. The handles are made out of real leather. This item is for sale and it will be sold at Ateljeekatu store here in Tampere. But if you are really fast you can stop me from taking it there if you want to buy it. And let me tell you that there is only 1 of these available and it is going to go fast!
Price: 115 €

Winter has arrived to Tampere. I'm so not pleased with this.

Dem bones

Everybody who knows me knows that I never wear anything made out of lace or that even slightly resembles lace but lately I've noticed that I have started using lace in my projects. I have no idea where all this came from. What is happening to me? But then again I don't really care if the outcome looks as cool as this.

Originally my plan was to place the rib cage under the lace So that the shiny side of the leather shown nicely though the lace. But since I did not find the right kind of lace to execute that plan I had to think again and placed them on top of the lace. Tadaa! Well not very original outcome. I blame solely the fabric stores for this.

 The bones are made out of leather that I had bought a year ago. I used the back side of the leather since the other side has a slight glitter effect on it. Since the bones don't use too much leather I still have some to make more rib cages!

Because I could not make my original plan I wanted to do something to the bones to make it special. 
I ended up sewing these small glass beads by hand. Which was a bad idea since it is really hard sew anything to leather by hand and I had to use mega small needle so that it fits trough the beads. It took me about 4 hours to attach all the beads so that They won't fall off on the first time when it is washed. 

I had to buy a whole bad of the glass beads and now I have few hundred beads left over. I have no idea where I'm going to use them. Also I have some left over lace. Obviously the solution is to make more clothing with this same technique.

Halloween part 2

I totally forgot to take pictures of my outfit with my camera so I only have these not so good quality cellphone camera photos. But lets make the best of these photos that I do have.

After weeks of thinking what my outfit would be I ended up with this demon outfit. I think it looks great. The pants, top, vest and the sleeves are by me. I wanted to make the pieces to that they could be used as a normal day wear separately of course since they might be a bit over the to worn together.
The horns are also painted by me but they were originally bought from Etsy. 

The amazing make up was done by Maano. I have no idea what my hair is supposed to be or look like but I didn't have a clear plan what I was going to do with it.

The pants, sleeves and the vest are faux leather. Which was bough from Euronkangas for 13.90€/meter. The vest also has the same kind of "spikes" on the back going upwards.
For the top I used some left over fabric, acrylic spikes and some strap. I was planing on wearing a corset on top of the top but I wanted to be comfortable since the pants were already too hot to wear in doors with other people and not enough air.

What do you think of my demonic alter ego? I even had a frigging chicken leg around my neck.  

 



I ended up chancing the other contact lens to a white one to make it look more freaky.


I wore my new heelless ankle boots with this Halloween outfit too. Since they are mega comfortable to wear. I had no problem dancing around with these in the Aussiebar.  

We were able to get in to the Aussiebar for free since we had costumes on.


Yesterday's best party song.
