Yes I know....

....I post very little right now which is part due to the heat finally arriving (and trying to kill me with migraines) and the fact that my laptop died some weeks ago. So now I am typing from Johns computer cause he´s out for his Weekly Mens Night ;-)

I can´t do fancy things with photoshops to make the photos look really nice because that´s on my laptop, but I share some things I recently got today :-)


Here is a very cute necklace I got from http://www.dirndlkaufen.com Isn´t it supercute? I love the little rhinestones! Off course there will be a picture of me wearing it soon! You should definately check out that site about all things Dirndl :-) Keep in mind the Oktoberfest is coming up soon :-) And they have a Facebook Site, too.




And here we see the nacklace in the cute little bag it arrived in and some other goodies I got. I bought some of the new Essence Colour Arts pigments, the eye shadow base and the applicator. I bought this blue and silver coloured dress off ebay and as it requires silver sparkling shoes I got happy at Deichmann. If the dress arrives on time I gonna wear it when I visit the Petit Four Show in Düsseldorf on the 1st of October. A dear workmate is leaving the country for good in mid October so this will be sort of our goodbye party and I want to be a sparkling memory!

Retro Makeup

Hello everyone,

I just heard that the release of a new book by Lauren Rennells is due. It is named "Retro Makeup" and that´s exactly what it is about ;-) I already pre-odered a copy and will let you know whether it´s a must have or something you can pass... Here are a few pictures and the link to it in case you wanna take a chance. I hope it´s as good as her hair books!!!

Crazy for collars!!!

I´m a girl that sure appreciates a pretty collar! I feel they are totally under rated today!!! Here are some collars that I saved on ebay for reference (if any of the photos was made by you and you feel I hurt your copyright just let me know and I will take it down!) Very apparently I also love blue dresses :-D

blog competition?

Hi everyone,

if I ever hit 100 blog followers I consider doing a competition or something. Would you actually like that?

Iam happy to report that Iam still a good girl spending only 100 € a month on clothes (or at least only take money from things I sold to buy new clothes!). It´s working out well at the moment. Actually Iam under 100 even without considering the clothes I sold! If I have money left of it by the end of the month I will invest in a ration coupon from Able Grable!

New Bargains:




Both of them cost me.... *drumroll* 7 € without shipping!!! The purse will be perfect to go with the skirts I bought from Bittersüß a month ago and the dress will make a cute outfit for work!

MY first retro dress

4 years and 9 months ago I had my first pin up shooting. Just in time I had bought the purrrrfect 50s dress at H & M. With a shelf bust, halterneck, a sewn in petticoat and strawberries on it. So it was my first really 50s looking favourite dress.



Years passed and I just didn´t fit in anymore, however I never had the heart to give it away cause it´s just too pretty and cause I have fantastic memories attached to it. Today I found it when I looked through my clothes and as I´ve lost a bit weight I thought "What the heck" and wanted to see how much more I had to loose in theorie in order to fit in again. I grabed the zipper and after some effort up it went. My boobs are bigger now than back than as I´ve only lost a lot on the waist (I work on a perfect 50s wasp waist and hope to keep the cleavage and the hips for an extreme bombshellish look) so it´s getting a bit tight up there but damn am I proud! It has caught some dust on the halternecks due to hanging around only for at least 4 years but I´m positive I can wear it in spring and summer. It is a size 38 so I must have dropped two (!!!) dress-sizes lately. Now that explains why my trowsers have a hard time staying on my waist.

John is visiting his friend Daniel today, but when he´s back and I´m still awake I have to show him that!!!! Wait what my Mom says when she sees her "new daughter" on eastern! A few months ago she said to John "you made my child go fat!!!!" as a joke. Ha! Now I´ll point at her and call her that :-D
