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

Who shines white light and wants to show how everything still turns to gold.


Isn't this one totally awesome? I DIYed it today and I am so proud of it! I had this in my mind for two months, but I just never found the time. Finally, I made it today, and I am kinda proud! It's one of my favourite pieces now. I was very inspirated by the Rookie Style Nationwide, in Picture 41 there's a girl with the same one, and I was really fascinated by this picture!

Ah I ordered this dress a few days ago, and it arrived really soon after ordering it. I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly, so I was really surprised (I actually screamed out loud.) It's like super tight and I have to admit, I look kinda amazing wearing it... 


Eep! I made a Led Zeppelin shirt! I have been a fan of Led Zeppelin since I first heard "Stairway to heaven". I love this tee - I used a transfer printer foil or something and it turned out amazing! The colors are wonderful and Led Zeppelin rocks the world.


A super fun Michael Schumacher shirt ( he's a Formula 1 guy, and some of the best one's ever. Kind of a german hero, or so.) I got it for fifty cents at our local thrift store.

Hey dudes. These are just some things I bought or made the past few days. I am really busy this week, so sorry for this lack of posting. I hope everything's okay with you guys!

Love,

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

DIY goggly eyes tights

























Hey lovelies! Welcome new followers, thank you so much. Today I've got a nice little DIY for you. I love creepy tights and leggins at the moment - and today my best buddy ( here's a photoshoot with her!) came up with the idea of glueing goggly eyes on tights! Genious, huh? I was like, okay, let's do that, now. Unfortunately, a few eyes fell off a couple of hours later, but I fixed them again. So, to make these tights stay forever, use super strong glue.

1. Supplies: Black tights, goggly eyes, (strong) glue.
2. Glue the eyes on. Use a hairspray can like you can see in the picture. You can arrange them randomly all over the tights, or just a line on the side, like I did!

Yay done! That was difficult, huh? ( Sarcasm in the air, my friends!) This is a very easy DIY, completed in a few minutes, and I think it turned out totally great! It is creepy and freaky and awesome at the same time. I will make an outfit post soon! How do you like it? Will you try it?

Love,

Mary

DIY Customized Jacket


Hey lovelies! First, welcome, my new followers! Thank you a bunch.
So, I went shopping today! I went to a fleamarket with two friends which are super cool and awesome, and I found absolutely amazing stuff. My favorite piece is is this jeans jacket, which I got from a super trouper fun old lady (She also selled white platform heels which were totally amazing.). It costed me about three bucks and fits almost perfectly! I've been dreaming of a customized jeans jacket for such a long time and today I found awesome buttons and fake flowers and stuff. This is my new favorite piece in my closet, I guess. (Well, everytime I get something new it's my favorite piece. cough.) It's so fall-ish: It's perfect for I-don't-give-a-shit-I-hate-this-cold-weather-days, you just need to throw it on and your done with today's styling. I think everyone should have a few pieces like this in his or her closet! I am really proud of how it came out. It looks pretty cool and rookie-esque, don't you think? So, lovelies, go to a fleamarket, go thrifting, and search etsy until you found a vintage jeans jacket! It's worth it. And it was so much fun decorating and customizing it. Enough of talking now, enjoy this DIY!

1. Supplies needed:  An old/vintage  jeans jacket, junk (meaning fake flowers, glitter, buttons & badges, studs, goggly eyes, patches, and random stuff.), scissors, needle and thread, a hot glue gun.
2. That's the fun part! Decorate and customize your jacket. You can glue goggly eyes on the buttons, sew fake flowers on, pin badges on, sew patches on, do whatever you want with your jacket! You can also paint it. This article shows you awesome ways to customize you jacket! Try to make the jacket be exactly you, meaning it should show your obsessions, passions, your style, and everything you like and who you are and want to be!

The nice thing is, you are actually never really done with your jacket. You can always add something!

Hope you liked this DIY! Let me know if you tried it and please send me a picture if you did. I would love to see your results.

Love,

Mary
