Visual kei inspired gothic aristocrat make up tutorial with kuro tomesode

Hello sweethearts! :3

I hope that everyone is doing well. Thank you for everyone for all the support recently now when I have been really sick. *many big hugs*

As 13th of March was my birthday, I decided to to treat myself by editing the video that I filmed the day before that for my birthday celebration. I had been planning an outfit of this kind for some time already and I was finally able to try my kuro tomesode on as well! :3 I hope you enjoy the video and, as always, concrit will be highly appreciated.

Please read the video description about the kimono. I got so many lovely messages from worried people that thought that I didn't know how kuro tomesode is traditionally worn. Thank you everyone, for being so thoughtful! <3




(*lick*)

We also had a trip to Paris to see Kaya live which why me and my friends decided to go sightseeing and ended up playing at Notre Dame, hmm:



Here is also one drawing made by an even lovelier and talented person who asked for my permission on tumblr (click here to my tumblr) to use my photos for drawing. Thank you! It's an honor (click here to raka-raka's tumblr):



Here's also an outfit from last Christmas that I forgot to post before:



Thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful week! <3

Many hugs and best wishes,
Iira (who is always too busy :'3)

Two casual outfits and a tumblr

(This photo and the expression I have are absolutely priceless - I honestly have no idea when and how I took a picture like this, but it has certainly made me laugh. I hope that you would fin it funny as well, in a way or another.)

Hello and sorry for the late update - I now give you a reason to spank me mentally, not too hard, though. Just so that I learn how to update every week.

However for my defence, I got to admit that travelling is stressful - it's a

lot of fun, but stressful too. I will write more about the trip to Germany, Berlin, later. I'm also in the middle of making a new hair and make up tutorial that is supposed to be a bit different to the others. Plus, there will be a sewing tutorial for a choker that I will sell later as well. :)

Here you go, two casual gothic outfits (one aristocrat and one lolita). I don't personally like these pics much, but this is all I have for now...

About my outfits:

The blue dress is self made, blouse off brand and otherwise I'm wearing Moitie together with vintage items.

(Blogger is messing around with me once again... Maybe I'll just change to Wordpress some day when I have time.)

Starting from today Rosa Nitida has a tumblr as well: http://rosanitida.tumblr.com/

For now I have dumped there mainly photos of myself which might first look slightly egoistic, but what my goal is that I don't have to do that later (I hate watching my own face all the time, haha) and that I could start posting only few inspirational pics (while today I posted close to 70) a day/week to make sure that I don't spam others tumblr too much. I'm really looking forward to reblog and post more photos in the future as I found out that tumblr is also a great way to store your own personal inspirations and share those with your friends. This way I will most likely find all the photos that I like easily.

Emotions for today: "Argh! I want to take more good pictures again and wear lolita/aristocrat more often! >:| *jumping around the room*"

I'm also adding few items for sale (mostly second hand brand like Moitie, off brand jackets, wigs and one item for Rosa Nitida) hopefully today or tomorrow.

I'm so running out of time here. What I also need to do is to move to a new apartment, build furniture (I quite worship IKEA now), do book keeping, do sewing, travel to Finland, Belgium and UK (London), meet with friends, study, write a lot of e-mails and letters, sleep, work at the practice and get well at some point (someone is having a high fever here). However, I will do it! There's a lot to do, but at some point, once I have finally settled down here, I can really start working and studying and really concentrate on what is important. >:3

So, I will find my way to do some book keeping and sewing now! *tatatatatta*

I'm also planning to have a trip to Japan, Tokyo, next summer. Anyone coming with me? :3

Many hugs,

Iira
