Oct 22: We dance amongst our sins

MUSIC: DEAD AND DIVINE 

MOOD: SUPERB

Life's been treating me well lately! My new job's quite awesome, it took me a while (a full two days haha) to get into it but I'm really enjoying it. The atmosphere is great, so much better than back in the days I worked at Urban Outfitters. That sure had its good days but fuck some people there were frustrated! 

Anyway, today I had one of my many days off (oh the joy of working part time!) and my mate got his chest piece's outline done! Watching the horror and the blood kinda made me want to get started on my sleeve. I've been thinking about a proper tattoo (and by proper I mean something of a significant size, I'm sorry if I offend anyone but some script on the wrist or a star behind your ear are permanent doodles, not tattoos imo) for a few years now and I really think a half sleeve is the way to go. 

But today, to compensate, and because I felt really sorry for my bleeding friend, I got my nose pierced. 

Yay me for not getting cold feet! (The piercing shop was literally three doors from the tattoo shop, and also about 10 doors away from the store I work at, haha! Shinfo: The guy who tattooed my friend tattooed my manager a few days ago - What a small world!) I even stunned myself with how calm I was, needles usually freak me out. A lot. 

The needle driving through the cartilage was quite a strange sensation. It was painful, but not *OMFG I'M GONNA DIE* painful, and immediately afterwards, I cried a river from my left eye (which is a normal reaction, I was told) and then half of my face got numb. Hah.

It's still a bit sore now, and I can't wait for 10 weeks to pass so I can put a ring through it. Yay!

Meaningful posts coming, someday!

Have a great weekend <3

Oct. 16: Dine with wolves

MUSIC: GLASSJAW 

MOOD: AWESOME

Hello everyone, and welcome new followers! Still no new layout as you can tell, but no worries the design is somewhat completed, just have to make the html work. In other news, if you've read my previous post you might remember that I had applied for a job and was waiting for them to call me about whether or not I got an interview? Well, I did get one and it was yesterday, it went pretty good. And guess what, this morning I received a call back - I can start Tuesday. Yay! I'll work part time at an awesome clothing store in Antwerp!

The past week's been full of lazy PJ days, so I have no pictures to share except for this awesome drawing of me by Liam McMahon!

Long time readers and Lookbook fans might recognize the outfit photos this was based on, click here! Also, my bangs have undergone some tweaking (I can see again!), Every Time I Die is coming to Groezrock (FUCK YEAH) and I'm on Twitter!

Have a great weekend you guys! <3
More entertaining blog posts soon, I hope!

Oct. 7: In dog's blood we will all drown.

MUSIC: ALEXISONFIRE 

MOOD: GOOD

I'm slowly getting super duper excited about seeing Alexisonfire in November! (Even though Artist Arena, the organisation that handles the tickets, still owes me €23.) I was kind of bummed out after listening to their iTunes Originals shizzle, because No Transitory, possibly my favourite song of all time, got totally butt fucked. Seriously, wtf were they thinking covering a perfect song?
The new song however, doesn't fuck butt but kicks butt! (Jesus I'm lame today.)

Alexisonfire - Dog's Blood

In other news, I have applied for a job, yay me! I don't want to jinx things, but once I know more, whether or not I'll get an interview, I'll write all about it.
For visual entertainment, and probably what you came here for in the first place; Have some pictures of what I wore two days ago!

Blazer and bag from Zara / Sweater from H&M / Jeans from Mango / Lace up booties from Urban Outfitters

Why yes, something else than a cute dress, overknee socks and brogues, haha. Even better - I'm wearing pants. I hardly ever wear this blazer because I always feel it makes me appear shorter than I already am? I don't know, but the shoulder details look kinda cool, with the padding and the little embellishments.

Also, I'm working on a new layout for this blog. I'm trying to maintain the cuteness but make it slightly more minimalistic and this time, do a matching sidebar (for those who haven't been reading for that long: the sidebar is a leftover of the template I used). This layout took me about two weeks I think so I'm hoping a new one will be ready sometime next month haha.

In the meantime, bear with me if I seem to be a little bit absent. Html makes my skin crawl so in the process of doing a new layout, I might feel like drilling my fist through my laptop's screen, which is not the kind of sentiment you'd wish for when you're blogging.

Muchos lovin' you guys!

Oct. 3: Prey on the faint of heart

MUSIC: EVERY TIME I DIE 

MOOD: GUUUUUD

Another week of negligence, I guess I've been busy attending parties, eating left over cake (don't worry it's ice cream cake so it won't leave me food poisoned) and still walking on clouds from last week's Every Time I Die concert.
In a few weeks, I'll see Alexisonfire! They're headlining so I really hope they'll play lots of older songs, but the VIP tickets make up for a lot. I'm just hoping the place won't be crawling with 15-year olds screaming they want to nail Dallas.

Anyway, on to the goodies! Monday morning (well it's was 1 PM but the mail man going loco on the door bell awoke me so to me it was still morning) this baby, my birthday dress, from Dixi arrived in the mail for me:

And I love it! The colour is a bit less grey and a bit more icey blue/green, a beautiful shade for Winter if you ask me! The materials used are so soft, the tule is probably the smoothest tule I've ever laid hands on. I also really dig the hook and eye fastening in the front as I'm always fighting side- and back zippers haha.

It literally took me days to choose which dress to get, for obvious reasons:

So much pretties! Also up for sale is a selection of vintage knits (instant coziness, they just don't make them like they used to), gorgeous rings, and a lot of cutesy little dresses.

And because she's so lovely, Amy the shop owner is offering you all (and me haha) a discount code! Use DISCOMEMEETSDIXI10 for 10% off any order over £20, throughout October! Hurry, cause these gems can run fast!

Have a great Sunday you guys <3
