inspire me V

I've been meaning to post pictures from OkashiiCon since.. Monday. But I started to feel ill during Tuesday, and by Wednesday I could hardly stand up. Today I'm feeling a lot better, though I still have constant headache, feel dizzy most of the time and haven't got an appetite (and that is tearing me apart, I love food).
So, for good reasons I haven't been able to go get the pictures.

Therefore I will post new inspiration ♥

Mimi

Just before I'm heading out the door for OkashiiCon, I want to share this with you!
I recently commissioned LooneyLolita to do a drawing of my OC Mimi.
This is the outcome:

Isn't it amazing?! I simply love her style, it's so cute and scary at the same time. And I think she captured Mimi quite well ♥

Thank you so much Looney, keep on drawing ♥

Happy birthday

I'm 19 years old now, it doesn't really feel that different from being 18, haha.
It was this Saturday, so I had invited my parents, sisters and their boyfriends over for brunch. I had planned everything in beforehand, and luckily I got everything done almost on time! But I tell you, five hours of cooking is hard on you!

I remembered to take a photo of the food when people had started eating, so all the plates, most of the smoothies, bread and pancakes are gone. But doesn't it look delicious? There was SO much food, and almost everything was eaten, haha ♥

I had such a good time, it was nice having them all visit me.
I even got a LOT of present, some really good ones! Let me show you:

I also got a big and fluffy shirt, tights and another copy of Alice in Wonderland!

Around 4pm my family went home. I had actually planned to spend the evening alone, but then that thought became too much for me, being all alone on my birthday :(
So I called Sascha and invited her and Kenny over! We ate some of the left over food and just enjoyed ourselves. At dinnertime I drove home with them and ate! And after dinner, we went to Sascha's parents place! There we had "Fastelavnsboller" and ice cream with strawberries - and we watched Fantastic Mr. Fox ♥

So, I really had a great day ♥ ♥ ♥

Sunday, Sascha and Kenny came by again, to have some more food! I made them American Pancakes, mmm.

I felt so full and disgusting afterwards, with all the food I'd eaten throughout the weekend, haha.

The black skirt is homemade. I finished sewing it while Sascha and Kenny had just gotten here!
Honestly, it's not finished yet, I need to make a print on it. But I was so happy to have finished sewing it, that I needed to wear it!

And lastly, before this gets too long and boring, I have a little project going on right now:

Can you guess what it is? And Sascha, your answer is invalid, haha ♥

You're glowing

Have you watched Fantastic Mr. Fox? If you have, you know what a fantastic story it is, but if you haven't.. what are you waiting for?
This has to be one of the nicest and funniest movies I have ever watched. Ever. And it's SO well made!
I love it and want to watch it over and over again ♥

For those of you not familiar with this;
It is the story of one Mr. Fox and his wild-ways of hen heckling, turkey taking and cider sipping, nocturnal, instinctive adventures. He has to put his wild days behind him and do what fathers do best: be responsible. He is too rebellious. He is too wild. He is going to try "just one more raid" on the three nastiest, meanest farmers that are Boggis, Bunce and Bean. It is a tale of crossing the line of family responsibilities and midnight adventure and the friendships and awakenings of this country life that is inhabited by Fantastic Mr. Fox and his friends.

Teacups filled with tears

Sometimes life end abruptly and unforeseen and other times you're waiting anxiously for death to make his move.
Either way, it's hard losing someone close to you.
I haven't quite understood it yet, it will probably take a while for me to do so - just like the last two times close family passed away.
And please, don't give me the "he's in a better place now" and "everything will be alright", I'm really tired of hearing that from people who don't know me that well.

You will be missed ♥


To end this on a more happy note, here's a pair of pictures of one of my weaknesses;

Fasteline meet-up

This Saturday was once again dedicated to the Fasteline meet-up hosted by Musen ♥
We started off by visiting AROS, though there wasn't much new to see, as one of the main exhibitions, was the same as last time we went there - and the new one, had too many people visiting.

But, just like last time, I was ecstatic about Lemmerz Ghost exhibition! I noticed a lot of new things in his works this time, I even couldn't remember some of them.

Later we went to SHARKS, as usual, to eat.
This time I had the brownie with ice cream!

It was quite expensive for the amount, and the taste wasn't great.. Definitely going to get the sundae ice cream next time!
But I didn't go away disappointed - the milkshake was great, and I got to eat everyones scraps ♥ You guys are so sweet!

As this month is Fastelavn (Shrovetide ?) I decided to dress up more fancy than usual. I had ordered a masquerade mask especially for this occasion!

The skirt looks quite short on the picture, haha. And flat shoes make my legs chubby.. But I really like this co-ord!

Party hard

Sascha had her birthday this Sunday, so she held a party Saturday ♥ I had a great time, laughed a lot!
You should go here for more pictures. They really sums up the evening, haha!
And she had an awesome Spongebob cake!

[EDIT]
Changed it a bit again, now it doesn't look as unfinished!
[/EDIT]

After my layout disappeared yesterday, I sat down and finished this new one.
And guess what? I had actually planned a new layout based on my new header, so I just got a push from blogger, I guess, haha!

Do you like it?

It's based off of this picture of myself:

What might this be?

And she kills herself

Yesterday I went to the movies in the company of Sascha ♥ We were going to watch Black Swan.

This is what I wore for the movie;
