Just some Holiday Pics

Well hello there handsomes.

Today's post is another slightly random one.
I brought my camera to my parent's place over the holidays and practiced a bit of photography and I thought I'd share =D So here ya gooo

 Our slightly overdecorated Christmas tree. So we made some stuff called "Feuerzangenbowle", I don't even know how to explain it but it's safe to say that it's not just a little bit alcoholic. BUT decorating the Christmas tree has never been so much fun xD

 Assortment of cheesy tree pictures <3

This one is my favorite of all pics I took during the holidays! Left to right my brother in law, me, my mommy and my sister <3 (Can you tell we were completely baked? xD)

 Trying out settings on the camera to catch the fun reflections the light was making with this... whatever that is. I think you put candles in it.

 FOOOOOOD.

This was just the main course of our Christmas dinner. YES, it tasted the way it looks :O

Don't worry though, I won't become on of those people who post pictures of everything they eat. It was just a special occasion xD

 The making of the devilish beverage. Very fancy to look at but also very scary for the daughter of a firefighter who usually doesn't light more than a candle.

Oh, didn't I tell you? That stuff on top is sugar, you drench it in rum and ten light it on fire.

 like thus.

 Don't try this at home, kids!

(Well, technically I did try it at home myself, but I never said I was a good role model xD)

 Lastly, a few selfies. Cause, gotta have those. So this is my look not for Christmas itself (didn't take pictures then...D=), but for dinner at a very old friend's place. I tried out a more smokey eye look and I think it came out really nice. I knew there would be some smoking done, so I didn't bother washing my hair. Instead, to cover up how dirty it was, I plastered it right down on my head and I was pretty damn happy about that as well.

What do you think?

Lastly, yesterday's hair and make-up! I freshly dyed my hair yesterday and it turned out reeeeeeeeeally neat and I wanted someone to see.I had plans to go out but then I got a headache so bad I had to stay at home :(

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo that's that. Not much. Let me know what you think and if you have any photography tips for meeee.
And I will talk to you soon(ish).
Love,
T <3

CARDIGAN MANIA!

Yo, peeps!
So guys I've decided to postpone December favorites and do a double favorites post for Dec+Jan at the beginning of next month. BECAUSE there are some more pressing matters at hand!
Those being that I drove to the middle of nowhere yesterday and applied for fashion school! GAAAAH I HAVEN'T BEEN SO EXCITED SINCE...EVER!!! I'm finally coming around to getting the education that I want, which is something I could have done five years ago but I just somehow didn't and I've never regretted anything more! Now it's high time I answered my calling and got to learning about fashion and sewing!
In celebration of this I finally got over myself and I'll start doing FASHION posts here!

If you follow my facebook page, or have fanned me on lookbook, you might have noticed that I posted a series of "Cardi" looks lately.
One problem I've personally come across with a lot of fashion bloggers/youtubers: If you live in California or a place with similar climate, your summer fashion tips might be awesome, but you don't really know the first thing about ACTUAL cold weather in winter - no offense!
But where I live it does get really cold (I'm aware, of course, that there's places that get even colder) and we have to dress WARM. I recently picked up two cozy over sized cardigans from Forever 21 and I've been obsessed with them every since, so I thought they'd make a good first fashion post for this blog!
I've styled them (especially the pink one) in about 10 000 different ways by now, but here's some of my favorite looks:

About the photos: I'm not a model ok? xD I'm not even photogenic. It was hard enough to get THESE pictures without getting one where I look super derpy!
Also, I know the lighting is confusing, I kind of just did what I thought matched the individual looks best... I need to get outside and take pictures in the daylight! (JULES WHERE ARE YOU? I need you to help me again xD)
Ok, so what I learned about wearing over sized cardigans:
You wanna wear something body-hugging underneath a shapeless piece like that (good thing I love my skater skirts =D). OR, if you do wear another airy, shapeless piece like I did in look 2, try and make it something sheer or see-through and wear a tight tank top in a contrast color underneath, so that in the right light you can still see that your body has a shape underneath all this fabric. (Unfortunately, the light this picture was taken in is NOT the right one, but you get the picture xD).
 Also, pop them cuffs out! (I love you, Chriselle!) What I did with the sleeves in look 4 really brought the whole outfit together, even though the cardi itself is a total contrast color.
Speaking of colors, If you have a statementy piece like the "Ocean Cardi", try to keep the rest in natural or neutral tones, for casual everyday looks. Of course, if you want to dress it up more for a party or something, you can add another color (or some more of the same, like in look 2), to create a bold look. (Some dark lipstick can't hurt either).
Since my hair color is a pretty big accent in any outfit already, I personally like to keep colors simple and bright. My craze over pink things comes really in handy these days ;)

Sooo, those are definitely two new favorite pieces of mine, the pink one being especially dear to me.
It's important to keep warm, but who says you can't be fashionable at the same time? =D

OK, this was my first fashion post ^o^ I hope you liked it, because it will not be the last one! (Since this is what this blog was initially created for).
By the way, I'd really welcome some constructive criticism and/or tips. Do you like my posts? Are they even interesting? Which kind of post do you like the most? What would you do differently?
Like, I know I should put in more pics and less text (show, don't tell - I guess), and I'll work on that!
Let me know if there's anything!

AAAAAnyways, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it!
Love,
T <3

RANDOM POST: My favorite and least favorite SNSD concepts for each member!

Hi guys and girls and HAPPY NEW YEAR OH MY GOD!

So I thought it would be a bit lame to start out the year with my December favorites. I will do those eventually, but right now it just doesn't feel festive enough xD
WHICH IS WHY I chose to make this slightly random post that has been lurking in the back of my head for quite a while. Now if you're not a K-Pop fan I apologize, but you can still look at pictures of beautiful ladies so I hope you'll still enjoy some of this post ^^

Okay, first off. Two things:
1. While I do have a bit of an order to the members, namely my favorites coming last, I DO NOT have a 9th through 1st place ranking of SNSD. The girls are all amazing and I love them all, and there's really just two or three that I love the slightest bit more. So please don't think too much about the order I put them in.
2. The pictures I am about to post are either screencapped by myself from the respective youtube videos (which is why the quality isn't always awesome), or just google image searched "member+song title". I do not own any of their content! (Also: I don't have a picture for EVERYTHING)

Oooookay let's get started!

- General
Before I get into single members, let's talk about concepts that were awesome/sucked generally xD
- "Kissing You" was just too cutesy, NO ONE could pull that off really well. I know they were younger and all... But it still seems very forced and unnatural. Also "Dancing Queen" was one of the worst songs they ever published, video and concept included.
+ Is it just me or are their Japanese videos just ALWAYS crazy beautiful? Paparazzi (pic), All my love is for you, My oh My (!!!), ... all those videos have awesome concepts that work so so so well!

 

-Yuri
Ah. Yuri is just a hottie. There's no way around it. I don't think I even have a least favorite concept for her. If I had to put a finger on a FAVORITE (or two...) I'd go with "Run Devil Run" (right) and "The Boys" (left), because Yuri looks best when the concept is cool/sexy.







-Sunny

There wasn't ever any doubt for me: Sunny looks best in this single shot of "Chocolate Love". First of all I love this song, and also it was the first time I realized that Sunny's singing could be so mature and beautiful. And then she just looks amazing, it was deffo a good video for Sunny.
As for dislikes, I actually never liked her short blond hair very much. There, I said it.






-Hyoyeon

Everyone needs to shut the fuck up about Hyoyeon. She's super pretty ok, whoever says differently obviously hasn't seen the videos for "All my love is for you" (pic), "Time Machine", Japanese "Oh!", basically everything where she has her blond hair xD
I realize her stylists back in the day ("Kissing You" was especially horrible for her) were a bit misguided, but ever since "The Boys" she looks incredible and I need people to stop saying she's the least pretty D=









-YoonA
Oh, she's so low on the list, whaaaaat?

Well, this is about concepts and even though Yoona is generally considered the most beautiful (doesn't mean I agree), she doesn't have a concept that's SPECIAL for her personally. To me, Yoona basically always looks the same.
They did try the bangs for "Run Devil Run", but that obviously didn't work out, and from then on they just left her hair as it is. YES she's beautiful, but she's also a bit boring!
(pic's from "the Boys" btw, which I neither hate nor love)









-Sooyoung
Jan refers to Sooyoung as "the one with the nose" xD Something about her nose freaks him out big time.
What freaks ME out is that I couldn't think of a single concept that looked really bad for her. She can just pull off ANY look. Be it short hair or long, smokey or natural make-up, Soo always looks good.
Ever since I watched "Dating Agency Cyrano", I see her in a different light too.
I won't even talk about her body. It's ridiculous. I won't.
Anyways, this pic is from the Japanese version of "Genie", but it was really hard to decide on one!







-Jessica
Here's the deal about Jessica: I dislike her in most of the concepts. I don't know what it is about her style but I never thought it looked particularly good... And then there's "Run Devil Run". I'm gonna go all out and say that NO member of SNSD has EVER looked as epic as Jessica does in rDr. What the. I don't. THE HAIR!
Turns out when they style Sica with more of a smokey look, she's just incredibly beautiful. In the album art for "I got a Boy", oh my. Oh Lord. She's so gorgeous! Why don't they always style her like that? Q_Q (Maybe because I'd probably die from a heart attack)







-Seobaby!

Only my three favorites are left: TAETISEO!
This subunit is just amazing, all my favorite members! And even though Tiffany and Taeyeon hold a very special place in my heart, I have also come to love Seohyun, the lovely maknae. (Once I could distinguish her from Yuri, that is xD) If you look back to the beginning of SNSD it's very clear that Seohyun is the one who's made the biggest transformation. She's turned into this beautiful, elegant lady and her voice is incredible!
I love her a lot in "Twinkle", which is great because it is a TaeTiSeo song. She also looks amazing in the recent videos for "Galaxy Supernova" and "My oh My".
The only concept that I didn't like for her was "The Boys" and even then, I think she did a great job!














 -Tiffany!
Soooo, Fany is the one that I personally consider the most beautiful member of SNSD. She's just so gorgeous and there's hardly any concept that didn't look good on her.
In "Twinkle" (left) there are some frames where she just doesn't look like herself and it wasn't GREAT, but I generally still love Twinkle's concept too much to be bothered by that. Tiffany is awesome in basically everything else: I don't think there was a single shot in "My oh My" where she didn't look absolutely stunning! And while I generally prefer her glamorous curly hair over straight, she has never looked better than in "All my love is for you" (right). There is no doubt about it: Fany takes the cake for most beautiful.











-Taeyeon!

 Dear Internet, I have a slight obsession. If I had to pick a single bias for ever and always, that would be Taeyeon. And if Tiffany had any competition for "most beautiful", that would also be Taeyeon.
Unfortunately, there are a few concepts that didn't look so great on Taeyeon, like everything where she has bangs ("Kissing You", "Gee", ... I'm not saying she looks ugly with bangs, just that she looks better without them xD) and those multiple recent videos where they just take a strand of her hair and twist it up weirdly on her head ("Galaxy Supernova", "My oh My"). So, unlike Tiffany, Tae cannot pull off just any look.
But when she does, boy, does she PULL it OFF!
My favorite look of hers is the long blond hair, the way you see it in "All my love is for you" (top) and "Twinkle" (bot).

She also had shorter and colorful hair for both "The Boys" and "I got a Boy", which I also liked a lot. Looking at pics of Tae's short hair made it easier for me to cut off my own xD

Taeyeon is also SNSD's oldest and, thus, their leader. But that doesn't stop her from being her own, dorky self and that's why she's my absolute favorite.
Also, did you ever hear her sing? My god, that gurl can SING.
That's all.

















Okay, let's wrap up this increasingly weird post.
Let me know what your favorite SNSD concepts are, or, if you don't like K-Pop, just tell me your new year's resolutions or something xD Mine is to eat ALL of the things! (Just kidding, I went right back on diet after the holidays).
Anyways thanks for reading, and I'll be putting up "December favorites" soon!
Love,
T <3

You know sometimes (=always) I just post things because I FELT LIKE IT. Deal with it.
[EDIT]: Sorry for weird weird formats, I don't know what happened.

November Favorites!

Ooooh dear, I just saw the date and I almost fell out of my chair!
IT'S DECEMBER YOU GUYS! You know what that means right? I can officially be in Christmas mood now and no one's allowed to judge me anymore =D YESSS!

BUT let's just cast one last look on November, listing my favorites of this month!

1. My MICKEY MOUSE ONESIE (can't NOT write that in caps), oh my god! It's so fluffy and so warm and so comfy and I don't ever wanna take it off again. When I have Uni at night I'm always thisclose to just going there with my Onesie on like Idon'tgiveafuck. Fortunately, I give enough fucks to put on normal clothes every time. But still the most awesome thing ever.
2. Lipbalms of every form and color, and you know why. With the days getting colder, my lips are getting dry and it's painful. The balms you can see in this pic are just the ones I could grab on short notice. In my opinion you can never own too many of those - I have one in every pocket, every bag, every case; they need to be available AT ALL TIMES. Hydrate the shit out of them lips.
3. H&M eyeshadow palette - new edition! HA. I like that one almost better than the one I already owned xD Again, the matte and light colors aren't very great, but basically all of that middle set and most of the other darker shades are super AWESOME. GET if you can.
4. Avène skin recovery cream for hypersensitive skin. Uhm I don't know about having hypersensitive skin, I probably don't. But this stuff just feels really nice on my face, hydrates me really well and I do think my skin is healthier since I use it. Also, I love that it smells of nothing at all. That's really nice.
5. I already talked about this nailpolish by ANNY, called "goldfinger", in my favorite products of all time list, and all I said then is still true. The reason why I mention it again now is because this is also my go-to holiday nailpolish for Christmas. I put it on slightly early this year because I'm really feeling the Christmas/winter mood already, but it's absolutely not acceptable to put up Christmas decorations or anything of the kind before December, so I just celebrated quietly with my nailpolish xD
6. Directions Hair colors in "Rubine" and "Poppy Red" Ok, while I love everyone at my hairdresser's, I just cannot afford to pay 50 euros every three weeks to get my hair back to proper red (it just washes out so quickly!), which is why I ordered these ones via amazon. Now, on the pictures they both looked EXACTLY the same, and for 7 euros per can I thought I'd just order both and see what happens. Turns out, they are not even close to being the same xD "Rubine" is this almost black goo, while "Poppy Red" is really intensely red. So I mixed them together, but I guess I took too much "Rubine", now parts of my hair have that purply tinge. I actually don't mind that so much, but I'll still try using more "Poppy Red" next time. Anyways, they're my favorites because they are very much more time- and money-efficient than getting my hair dyed by the pros.

So those are my fashion and beauty favorites I guess.
Maybe I should mention that any kind of scarf or sweater or anything fluffy and warm was also a big friend of mine this month, it's been really cold.

As for music favorites, not much has changed from last month. I still listen to all that basically non-stop.
There has been an addition though: My boyfriend recently bought the Florence + the machine CDs and kind of infected me with that too. My favorite track is probably "Drumming Song", but I also love "All this and heaven too".

As for LoL, I have been loving Leona recently. I didn't use to play her that much, because my carry (=Jan) didn't like to play aggressive in lane, so I would stick to healers like Sona or Nami. But with the changes they made in preseason passive laning just doesn't pay off so well anymore, so we tried out Leona with carries like Varus or Lucian and it has worked out pretty well.
So that's why these days Leona is my go-to Champion.
Thanks to Yaya, I'm using the Poolparty Leona skin, but I also like her classic design ^^

SPEAKING OF SKINS.
Have you kids all picked up your Popstar Ahri yet?

because it. is. perfection.
Anyone who has ever seen a concert of SNSD or their video for "Genie" (korean) knows that this thing is one single Girls' Generation reference and as a fan ... I couldn't NOT buy it.
I DON'T EVEN PLAY AHRI.
But I had to have that skin.

So far so good. I don't think I have a favorite food for this month, because I just enjoyed eating ALL OF THE FOOD! xD
Aaaaaaaand I think that's it for now.
Ok guys, thanks so much for reading and as always: Let me know if you tried any of this & also what your November favorites are!
Love
T <3

Quick Review: Catching Fire

Soooooo I'm home from the cinema just now and tired as fuck, but I just cannot WAIT until tomorrow to say what I have to say about Catching Fire.

This.
Movie.
Is.

GREAT.

It was a very emotional night for me guys.
Ok, I'm a huge sucker for the ENTIRE Hunger Games franchise, I have literally read the three books in the matter of a week the first time.
And as an adaption of the books, Catching Fire was - more so than the first movie - almost perfect.
The casting was superb (except for Snow's granddaughter who looks just like Prim which is entirely confusing - but will you LOOK at Finnick?), the sets and make-up were just like I imagined them and... I don't know, I can just say that all in all it's just like the book.
Well, it's how I experienced the book anyways.

JLaw does some great acting, but I guess I'm biased because I also think she seems like an awesome person to hang out with (or maybe she just has amazing PR), but my absolute favorite is Elizabeth Banks as Effie, she just rocks. that. role. She needs to get more credit for this!

And while that's all super great, there ARE some problems that I do have, which are as follows:
- The cat. You guys. The cat in the first movie was black-and-white, this one is an orange tabby, which is already stupid because it's supposed to be the same cat. But also those are both wrong Oo Like, it's just this tiny little detail but the thing is called Buttercup, because it has dirty yellow fur. Could you not get this right? Stupid problem, I know.
- I already said that the girl that plays Snow's granddaughter looks way too much like Prim. Like, in her first scene I went "WTF, why is Primrose casually having breakfast with the President??". So that's that. Maybe a bit too confusing, but she's just a minor character.
- Here's the only thing that really disappointed me: When Katniss finds out what the Quarter Quell is about, in the books, she has this complete melt-down. Like, she goes into the basement of an empty house and just tears shit up and screams for like several hours. In the movie, she just walks out into the woods, has a bit of a sexy-cry (everyone refer to this, if you don't know what I mean), and then we're good. No. Just no. You have an academy award winning actress on your hands, fucking make her have that emotional moment. PLEASE.
This scene had just SO much impact on me while reading (because it gives so much insight on how messed up and crazy Kantiss is from her first Games, which btw is an aspect that generally got a little down-played too much, imho) and I guess my expectations were probably too high but even then what they finally did with it was... underwhelming =(

But I guess my other (also very high) expectations were all met very well, really. I was EXTREMELY hyped for this movie and not disappointed, which is more than I could have asked for.
So, can we just get Mockingjay out ... ? Right now would be a good time for me.


Ok I guess I'm just gonna stick with the fact that I LOVED this movie.
If you disagree, no offense, you probably didn't read (or like) the books, OR your expectations were even higher that mine, but if that's the case...you need to calm down.

Go watch Catching Fire, if you have not seen it yet, or better yet: read the books first, then go watch it.
Good Night for now (sorry for inconsistent writing and/or spelling mistakes, I'm just really tired),
and thanks for reading!
Love,
T <3

"November Days" Make-Up Tutorial (also: short hair & other exciting news)

Hey peeps,

today's post is very special to me for multiple reasons. First: I have had my hair cut shorter than it has been in... at least 5 years (wow Oo), and I'll be revealing that today.
Also (and more importantly), I'm proud to announce that I am now a volunteer for the What to Wear page!
I found out by complete chance that they were looking for volunteers and I immediately applied.They answered very quickly and were super nice the whole time, and apart from their massive abuse of hashtags (;P) they seem like a bunch of very cool people. They agreed to post my make-up tutorials to their wall and also let me do some posts on fashion news and other fashion journalism and I'm just so EXCITED, I'm about to BURST!
So yeah, that's happening in my life. It's pretty awesome.
If you guys could just head over there and give the page a thumbs up, that would totally make my day <3


Okay, now let's get into the post!
Today we will be creating this look

that I have named "November Days" because the colors remind me of grey and foggy November weather. Now this is a very soft and subtle look, because it's supposed to be wearable for any occasion. I've been wearing this almost every day now, weather to Uni or out to dinner with my parents - it always seemed appropriate. Let's get started.

1. First I did my usual foundation-concealer-powder routine for preparation, and then I started off by filling in my eyebrows. Now, I haven't been doing this for long, and I'm still in doubt over weather it's needed at all (I'm just not an eyebrow kind of person...), and usually I'll do it AFTER my eye make-up is finished, so that I can better balance out the look. But since I knew what look I was going for, I was able to do my eyebrows first and get that out of the way.
Now, don't go crazy with the eyebrows, because the eye look is very soft and you don't wanna overwhelm it. I just filled in some sparse patches to give them more shape and that's all.

2. Now pick up a warm brown color (mine is shimmery, but matte would work just as well) and spread it well into your crease. Try to pick a shade that's similar to what natural shadows on your face look like, because it's supposed to have a contouring effect. I have been loving this technique lately!

3. Your main color should be a well-pigmented shimmering pale grey. Mine has a bit of a lilac/baby blue undertone which I think looks sooo precious, so if you can find one like that, definitely use it!
Apply to the center of your lids and then blend it with the brown we used before.

4. Next bring your brown color from before down and line about half of your lower lashline with it.

5. Now this step is important, brightening the inner corners! I have developed a special technique for this, since it's so easy to end up with glitter all over the place, but still not enough color pigment where you actually need it (and that just looks messy). So, here's what I do: I apply a tiny bit of LIQUID white eyeshadow right into the corner of my eye, then blend that out towards my upper and lower lashlines. Then, quickly while it's still wet, I put a very sparkly white eyeshadow over top of that to set it in place. This way, the color will be pigmented enough and the sparkle will stay in place, because it's sticking to the liquid shadow. I do this with almost every make-up look and it works great for me - no more messy corners!

6. After that, just line your upper lashline with a dark grey,

7. your waterline with white or pink,

8. and then apply mascara as you see fit.

After that all you need is some blush (don't neglect that though, you'll need some warmth in your face with all those cold colors), and maybe some lipstick. Since it's getting really cold outside by now, I tend to choose just a tinted lip balm that I can reapply over the course of the day to keep my lips moisturized.
Anyways, that's the finished look and here's some more pics for you to see more angles of it.
Also - of course - my new hairstyle! (omg!)

 SO SHORT!

 crazy eyes!
Also, the tips of my hair are this purply color right now which was not supposed to happen, but I kinda like it...

 Got a bit of weird camera focus going on here, but the make-up shows nicely.

 ...I just thought this one turned out pretty ^^

Trinception! Taking a photo in two mirrors at once! =O
I was really just playing around by then ^^

Anywho, that's all for today.

Again, please support "What to Wear" by liking their page (you're also supporting my posts!).

If you try out this look, send me pics and/or tell me how it worked out for you! Also, how do you like my short hair? =O

Well, thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon!

Love,

T <3

Quick Review: Thor - The Dark World

Hey folks so the gang and I finally went to see the new Thor yesterday, which was probably a bad idea since I was already feeling sick and now I'm just staying in bed all day but I REGRET NOTHING!

Okay, Thor 2 can't really compare with Iron Man 3 which was just AMAZING, but I still thought it was pretty good.
We get Natalie Portman back, and I love her as an actress but there's a bit of a plot hole as to WHY she wasn't in "The Avengers" and how she spent her time in between the movies, but whatever.
I loved the comic relief scenes in this movie; Jane's assistant Darcey is a lot of fun and of course we get LOKI! (I gotta say I'm not exactly 100% aboard  the Loki-train that's running rampant on imgur right now, but I DO think he's an awesome character and I was glad he had an important role in this movie again, because, let's face it, Thor is pretty, but he's not very entertaining.)
The plot is pretty basic. Some evil dudes cause trouble because of an infinity stone that Jane happens to find, shit goes down. There's not much to it really. But the visuals are great, the action scenes are very nice and I gotta really say, the costume designers did a lot better than in the first Thor movie, when all the Asgardians just looked like they came from a cheap video game. Or maybe I just loved Natalie Portman wearing Asgard fashion so much, I ignored everything else in the movie xD.
I enjoyed watching it a lot, the pacing felt really nice and the story was, while not very complex, enjoyable. I definitely recommend you go see it, if you haven't already.

The only disappointment was the Collector, whom we get to see at the end (tip: Do not leave the room until after ALL the credits rolled. This is a MARVEL film, have your learned nothing?), who looks like - as Jan put it - a character that could come from "The Fifth Element". This is NOT a compliment.

Anyways, the whole thing is very exciting, I'm glad I watched it and I hope you'll be too.
If  or when you've watched it, let me know what your thoughts are and which MARVEL movie you're most pumped for in the future!
Now I'm getting pizza delivered to my bed, which is just about the best thing ever, so I'm singing off. But as always, thanks for reading and I'll talk to you soon!
Love

Wedding photos!!!

Hah.
Yeah, did you even expect me to follow up on that promise?
I always planned to, but I don't see my sis so much, which is why I only received the photos last weekend when she and my brother-in-law (we still giggle whenever I say this xD) invited me to a Wellness weekend as a late birthday present.

Anyways, here they are. ENJOY!

First off, the bride and groom both looking STUNNING and absolutely adorable!

At the civil registry office. There are so many photos where they look at each other all in love and stuff... and I chose to put up this one where Tobi is doing some sort of frog face xD I still think it's cute :3

 Hey, there's me! I cried more that my sister (then again... so did the groom xP). I'm glad the photographer didn't take any snotty pictures of me - phew!

 

Remember what I said about eye smiling when I'm really happy? Yeah, like that. I'm so glad this is black and white, because my teeth are REALLY yellow ^^ Other than that I really like this photo =)

 

 XD. My boyfriend looking GANGSTA with his new sunnies. I just love this so much, I had to put it up xD

 hug <3

 Oh my god. This is a rarity you're looking at, a photo of Jan and me! This will probably be used by both of our families for the next ten years or so... I'm glad I look okay^^

 

Okay, I know this is a bit random, but I think the photographer REALLY liked my hairdo, because there's at least 5 pics that have the blurry back of my head in them. Or maybe I was annoying him a lot by walking into all the frames. PHOTOBOMBED!

Anyways, those are the wedding pictures. I'm sorry to say there were none that had my complete outfit in them, but seeing my beautiful sister in her gorgeous wedding gown is good enough I think.

Congratulations again to my sister and her husband!

You guys are the perfect couple.

I love you!!

<3

So, that's it. Don't be surprised if I go into hiatus for a few weeks now after putting out post after post after post in these last days xD

Anyways thanks for reading (or... looking I guess)!
Love

I made dis (Frog girl)

SO. It's a busy week for this blog, huh?

Anyways, I still do "art" sometimes, even the kind that doesn't consist of fashion designs or little comicey drawings of myself during a lecture.

introducing Frog Girl a.k.a. Kaylie (cause she's not wearing a mask).
I think the last time I drew her must be like... YEARS ago. But when I sat down with my GT last night it's just turned out to be her somehow.
Seriously, she just seems to give you bedroom eyes on EVERY picture. I don't know why. It just happens.

This is really just skin shading practice that I have been dying to try out ever since I watched this video by Kienan Lafferty. (SHOUT-OUT TIME!)
So Kienan used to work for riot, doing the splash art for Champions (Ahri, Fizz, Wukong, Redeemed Riven, and many more are his work) and that's how I found his youtube channel, and now he's doing his little webshow while working on his online comic "Emma", which is amazing, go check it out! (Seriously. Go. NOW.)
Unfortunately I have only once managed to stay up long enough to watch his live stream at 4 am, but there's a video on his channel somewhere where he tries to pronounce "zwergprinzessin" xD So yeah, I'm like, a part of the community.
Please please please show him lots of love, he works so hard and he deserves more attention!

Ooooohkay, back to froggy. Now I'm not saying I'll ever be close to as good as Kienan is, but I really liked working on this and I'm pretty happy with the final thing. I know her hair looks really weird when rendered like this, but my main point was to practice skin and I think that turned out pretty damn nice. I still suck horribly at noses and lips though =/

Okay so I guess I just wanted to quickly share this pic and Kienan's channel with you guys. Please go read "Emma", you will not regret it.
Also, let me know what you think of Kaylie's skin and if you have any tips for me ;)
Thank yooooou for reading and smell ya later
Love
T <3
