Limitless undying love, which shines around me like a million suns

Hey hey. Sorry for this lack of posting... (isn't it awful that I am apologizing for this everytime?!) So. This is a collage I made. It's actually about everything I love and could not live without. I think you know that I love those stuff if you are a follower, but here's why and what exactly.
I love....
the Outer Space. It's incredibly beautiful, and I mean, neverending. Neverending beauty. Full of plasmas, unknown planets and stars, it's the best thing on earth ever. All those secrets waiting there, every star (There are approximately 20000000000000000000000 stars! Get this! ) and all those alien dudes. There is nothing better than Outer Space. In my dreams, I open my window above my bed and all I see is the Outer Space.
For the crew of the USS Enterprise, this dream came true. It's beyond amazing what they are doing everyday: " Space: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year-mission: to explore strange worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. " My favorite character is Mr. Spock, from Vulcan. He was the first Vulcan to ever join the Starfleet, and he turned out as an amazing Captain and friend of James T. Kirk. Being super bright, he is also totally funny and ironic. Just have a look at his ears, isn't he adorable?
Done with Outer Space stuff in my universe, I think it's time for Rookie now. Rookie, as weird as it may sound, actually changed my life. I wouldn't be the same without this magazine. It definitely made me more self-confident and stronger, I learned to ignore haters and to do what I want without caring about the thoughts of others. This will never change again. Besides that, Rookie also influenced my style. I think it's so hard to define my style, and I actually don't want my style to be defined. . But "Rookie Style" is a definition I love and it means more to me than just clothing. I love the community of Rookies in the blogosphere.
The person who introduced me to Rookie was Tavi. I had been reading Tavi's blog a few times and when I saw that she published her own magazine, I was totally in awe. Tavi is also the person who introduced me to Blogging. She showed me so many things and stuff, I deeply admire her for what she is, what she achieved. And I admire her for being herself. She's truly one of the best teens ever. I never knew what to say when I was asked for my "role model", but since I am knowing Rookie and her, I know she's my role model. I also made a zine for her. Gosh please do not think I am a creepy stalker, I do not have thousands of pictures of her hanging around and I am not dreaming of her (yet... haha.).
I also love love love Blogging. It may sound obvious, but I truly do. It's so much fun sharing your thoughts with the world, and I love all my followers (hey you!) and I also made some amazing friends. I swapped zines with Carla from Redpunzel and I'll send Flower's Zine at thursday (I promise. Life's been so busy. School sucks.). I also sent a flower crown to Maddie. I've got to know the most awesome people since I am blogging, and some of my friends are stalking my blog and they admire what I am doing, and I love what I am doing. I cannot understand how people "hate" my blog because, when they don't like it (or me), why the hell do they even look at it? Whatever, blogging is amazing and I hope when I am a grandma with three kittens and a donkey, I am still able to do it.
Something closely related to my blog is fashion, obviously. I go nuts for Meadham Kirchhoff or Doc Martens (see last post). Fashion is just my way to express who I am and who I want to be. Let's save this stuff for a blogging anniversary. But I go nuts for fashion, and I mean it.
See what's left. Woodstock, glittered shoes, black lips ( I wrote about them earlier, you know, they are witchy and amazing.) , unicorns, David Bowie and Led Zeppelin. Which is *obviously* perfect. Let's start with the music stuff. Led Zeppelin and David Bowie - no better music in our galaxy (I wonder what music Spock would like...). David Bowie is such an amazing and inspiring man, he was never afraid of doing something that would seem weird. He just gives a fuck and rocks the stage. He's immortal. And kinda hot, by the way. Led Zeppelin is (as David Bowie) just too awesome to describe. "Stairway to heaven" is, in my opinion, the best song ever. It's just pure beauty.
Another amazing kind of music is Reggae (good Vibrations...). I wish wish wish I would be living in the Sixties and Seventies - it seems like the perfect time to me. Full of petticoats and this peace movement dudes, known as "Hippies". Just, they didn't care if it was raining or stuff, they just partied all day long and were hanging around being stoned, wearing daisies in their hair and living life. It must have been like seeing the center of the universe, full of beauty, something which can't be described.
What I love, too, is Glitter. It's just literally the best thing ever! It's magical!
And so are unicorns. They do exist, maybe in a left valley in the Himalaya mountains full of purple flowers and a lake to clear for this planet. And one day I will ride a unicorn and it will be my best friend. And it will glitter because everything perfect glitters!

Wow. I wrote way too much. And I am not even done yet. Some daily life: We adopted a little incredibly cute hamster! My Dad found it at the waste dump because someone really awful threw him away! He's a little bit sick, but he's eating and he's fluffy and his name is George. Such a Cutie!

Hope you had an amazing day,

Mary

Obsession (and Trend spotting): Religious Prints


Ah yeah. This one's a difficult topic. I discussed it with my mum about two hours. Like, how can people wear religious stuff when they aren't believing in God or whoever? And I was like, how can people wear clothes if they aren't into fashion?
I love Statement tees, but only because I am wearing a tee with Buddha or whoever printed on, do I really have to believe in him? The thing is, this kind of print is not meant as a Statement (it can be, of course.). People are wearing it because it looks good, and they do not wanna tell anything with this top (besides being supercool.) . I hope you get what I mean.

Anyways, those prints are amazing. They can be kitsch and sassy at the same time!
The most common trend is cross print now - but there are many more ways of religious prints! Cross print is super cool, by the way. I also love Buddha or Shiva prints! Or *totally* kitschy Mother Mary prints.




Tee - Amazon
Dress - Motel
Creepers - Topshop


Everything from Topshop (Dress, Skirt, Jacket, Tee)
Shoes - Doc Martens

This one is full of cross prints. Wear the glitter top over the ruffled dress with the Biker Jacket to create a "breaking" look.



Maxi Skirt - Topshop
Skater skirt - Topshop
Over knee socks - Topshop
Mother Mary Sweater - Asos
Wedges - Asos

What do you think about religious prints? Do you own some pieces with those prints?

Love, Mary

Chewing chewing chewing


Hey lovelies. Like so many times, Rookie made my day. They introduced me to Kyary Pamyu Pamyu which is SO AMAZING. As halloween's coming soon, her creepy style is so inspirational. Her style is really kawaii, a mix of girly, cute and creepy stuff - everything I love! Could it be even better?
She started her carrier as a fashion blogger (like us) and is now a singer and a model. She had so may different hair colors, hair styles and she rocked every look. Kyara is so amazing and colourful!
She was my inspiration for day's outfit. The Dr. Martens are missing, I know. I really need to get a pair of them!


Crown - DIYed
Collar - thrifted
Tulle skirt - DIYed
Book Bag - DIYed
goggly eyes tights - DIYed

Sorry for my super stupid face. (Remember the Lightnight I talked about last time? A super stupid lil' boy hit me with a snow ball right in my face. On my eye. And now it's red and swollen and I look so weird... Besides that, the Lightnight was super awesome. I met so many amazing people and we had so much fun. If one of you is reading this, thank you for this awesome time.) 
I actually made a behive and it looked so cool, but you cannot see it. Also, this collage is sorta ugly, but I am so tired and not really motivated.
I wore my goggly eyes tights because I think they add a creepy touch to the whole thing, and I don't have shoes for this outfit but whatever.
I put together an outfit inspired of her...


Shoes - Dr. Martens
Watch - Asos
Tulle skirt - Etsy
bow- Etsy
Tee - Asos
Blouse - Oasap

I need Dr. Martens. Right. Now.

So, how was your weekend? What do you think about Kyara Pamyu Pamyu? 

Hope your weekend was amazing,

Mary

Obsession: Tulle

images found on rookie and tumblr, collaged by me

Tulle is awesome. I forgot about my love for tulle for a long time, but when Rookie's monthly issue was "Drama" recently, I immediately thought of tulle and searched everywhere for my tulle skirt ( it unfortunately isn't as beautiful as I thought it was, but hey, it's still tulle and awesome! ) and finally found it. Tulle is pure Drama, Girlyness, and Beauty. It is oh-so-fluffy.
Tulle really reminds me of candy! Everytime I see a tulle skirt, I think of so many awesome ways to combine it - Candy necklaces, candy bracelets, my Alice-in-Wonderland-ring from last post, pastel-colored tights... Marshmellow-colored tulle, pink tulle, mint tulle. I want Candy! When I am wearing something tulle, I feel magical. Somehow... like a magician, a unicorn, like a marshmellow (oh wow. That was weird. Whatever...). It just feels good! And really Rookie-esque. Marlena wrote an awesome tutorial on how to make your own tulle skirt and it's so easy and totally awesome. She combined her skirt with a skeleton top. Did you hear me skeleton top. Thus, there are two ways (which I know) to combine a tulle skirt (or dress.)
  • Candy and girly and fluffy
  • Witchy and badass
Witchy and badass means, like, biker boots or Dr. Martens with tulle, Vintage Harley Davidson tees (seriously, Vintage Harley Davidson tees are the best thing ever. Search for some old ones, or a rock band fan tee, because there's nothing better. ), studs, a dog collar. I love combining stuff in a weird way - studs and lace, flowers and Dr. Martens, or tulle and badass garments! What I don't mean is black tulle, which is totally different from that (I like pastel tulle better, to be honest. (:  ) .
Anyways, tulle looks totally awesome. I put together a few outfits with tulle skirts for you, I hope you like them!


Jumper - oasap
dress - chicwish
shoes - asos
ring - topshop
bracelet - topshop




skirt - chicwish
Nirvana tee - etsy
Spiked denim jacket - topshop
skull earrings - topshop
ring - topshop
awesome shoes - Dr. Martens

( Topshop, seriously, offers the most awesome jewelery ever. )
I need those shoes - they go with everything and look more than amazing.




Dress - chicwish
Denim vest - etsy
ring - asos
Glitter skull (got that?! Glitter and skulls!) shoes  - oasap

This outfit is rather elegant. And awesome. Those shoes are so freakin' perfect! They are both glittery and studded, so what could be better?

So, how do you like those outfits? I need to get a few of those garments... I actually bough some tulle today to make a tulle skirt like Marlena's tutorial (which is so awesome!) and I am totally looking forward to this! I hope it will turn out as beautiful as hers.

Love,

Mary

Obsession: Studs

This isn't a normal obsession. It is like Star Trek. I am completely freaking out when I see something studded (or Star Trek). Today we went shopping (YAY!) and I went into a ZARA store, and, like, every second garment was studded. Well, I freaked out.
I know, this has been written before, and everyone who's interested in fashion knows that the grunge vibe is starring in the fashion play this fall. As much as I'm against mainstream fashion, this is a trend I love. love love love. Does anyone knows where to buy studs? I am dreaming of so many studded garments lately. Like, a studded leather jacket. Or a studded collar of a button-up. And I visited every store here hoping I will find simply studs and I wasn't successful at all. How depressing.
Anyways, I'll give you five reasons why studs are awesome. (As mentioned earlier, does anyone knows where to buy studs? )
I love them because...

1.  The grunge-y Nirvana vibe.

2. The rebellion touch of studs.

3. How versatile they are: They can look elegant as well as punk-y.

4. How easy studs can turn an old tee or jacket into something awesome.

5. They are so easy to DIY.

Obsession: The virgin suicides

The virgin suicides, released in 1999, is about five sisters and their last days and weeks. They all commit suicide in the end which is so unbelievably sad. During the movie you can watch them playing their role pretending to be happy, gaining experiences, crying and dying, actually. This pastel, sad, dreamy look of the movie will haunt you forever. Sofia Coppola, the director, is an amazing woman for sure. To style your room like theirs ( I did...) read this amazing article by Rookie. I could DIE for one of these dresses and bracelets...


These dresses from ruche feature the perfect Virgin suicides style. Go get them, cool crowd!


xoxo, Mary

Obsession: David Bowie



all images found here


David Bowie certainly is one of the most amazing men ever. From his androgynous style to his eyes, his talent, from head to toe simply amazing. Read this article about his style 'cause I can't find words.

PS: I'm sorry, my cellphone is broken so it's not possible for me to show you pictures of me and my daily life. This will change soon, I promise.
