Today we had a sunny morning after long days of fog and rain, so my sister and I took a stroll round the neighbourhood, me wearing my H&M fake fur hat, H&M coat, vintage polka dot skirt worn as a dress, braided leather belt, H&M necklace, vintage indian scarf, H&M tights and Street sandals. It was quite chilly nonetheless... spring, where art thou???
Sequin-selfmade
I really very badly wanted a sequin-leggins for so long, but in this darn village nobody ever seemed to feel the same, not even one of them fancy H&Ms or Zara-stores or whichever else... so I had to end this desaster, ordered two sequin fabrics online and started sewing me a blue leggins first. The trouble was that even though it said "stretchy jersey" on the fabric description, when I unpacked it I had to realize it was maybe a jersey, but not at all stretchy. I made the leggins nonetheless but they're not really as comfty as I'd have wanted em to be, so I decided to use the second sequin fabric not for the intended second pair of leggins, but for a freestyle-sequin dress.
Anyway, I was wearing the sequin leggins at college today; regardless of how uncomfortable they felt. But I enjoyed people staring at me in the weirdest way because of my pants. They don't look THAT weird, do they?
Because of my love for sequin fabrics, I sat down yesterday and stitched the two pieces of silver sequin to an old black summerdress and found out it looked actually pretty nice for some kinda groovy party. I can imagine a hundred things to add as accesories to this funky dress. I really kinda like it.
AND a while ago I already had a sewing-session that found its conclusion in a fun black ruffle-dress with a skirt that I made out of some kinda lining-fabric - also with a few cute sequins sewed on it. That dress is definitely one of my favourite recent selfmades:

Little red riding boots
Today I received a package from the "Japan fine foods shop" so that a pretty little kitsch Japanese lucky cat, or Maneki Neko, now waves her paw in my room, day and night. Ok, its not really THAT small and the waving of her hand is so loud that at least at night I'll have to remove the batteries from her golden belly. But she's so pretty, I'm in love!
And since it was so gloomy, rainy and cold outside today, I had to colour-up my dark outfit at least a bit. My selfmade summer-dress with the red-roses pattern plus my favourite pair of suede leather boots in the same red tried to accomplish this and - in my opinion - succeeded with it pretty nicely.
The leather-jacket I'm wearing is a second-hand finding from about 4 years ago but I never quite got to wear it since it was too big, but last weekend I changed it a bit so that it fits me quite okay now. (Please excuse my wannabe cutise pose in the pic, haha)

Tryin' to be a gentleman
Too good my sister owns this lovely bowler hat because more often than she actually wears it i steal it from her closet and wear it as if it was my own. Simply très chic, and the quality is stunning too. Only problem: It usually needs a lot of persuation powers to actually get it from her, but its absolutely worth it. Eventually, I'll get my own, when by miracle some money comes flying through my seldomely wide-opened window.
The fox fur-coat is actually pretty vintage as it used to belong to my Great-grandma who gave it to my Grandma who gave it to me last summer. I have another one but this is certainly my favourite, mostly because it keeps me warm like nothing else in these cold winter afternoons. Still I must admit I always feel a bit guilty wearing fur, especially since foxes are amongst my favourite animals, but I just also feel a bit guilty having it hung in my closet forver and not wearing it at all when it is the perfect way of not to freeze outside. I mostly arrange it for me by myself saying a little thank you to the animals that gave their fur for the coat everytime I wear it and feel grateful for the warmth they offer me. It sounds a bit ironic but its the only way I can accept it for myself. Beyond all that, it's simply beatiful and so nice to touch.
Together with that I'm wearing shiny H&M leggins, second hand knit longsleeve, second hand black rubber belt, H&M leather boots and the lovely suede leather bag <3

Second Hand Victory!
Ohhhh today I was so lucky, and since this doesn't happen too often I should really celebrate today's findings at the cheap turkish second hand shop 'round the corner. I went there, freezing and shivering even in my nice fur coat, but the little walk turned out to be totally worth it. I got hold of an absolutely stunning cotton oversized knitwear longsleeve, a cotton velvet coat in exactly my size in a fun brown/green pattern and a great Lacoste handbag made of real leather. You wouldn't believe me if I told you I only paid a total of € 15 for the three things, but I tell you, that's what you get when you're lucky in those kinda smelly dirty second hand shops in Le Hometown. The three things together also make a pretty good combination together with my fake snakeprint shiny leggins and H&M ankle boot tie-ups.
Such a rip-off!!!
Too many holes - that ain't possible!!! Thus, in a moment of mental disturbance, I got hold of me scissors and cut my good old H&M tights into bits... or to put it less dramatic, I kinda stylised them, heh!
(Blue) Suede Bag
And another try to establish a new blog... it's real sad, i'm always too lazy to keep my blogs updated and after a while they're so outdated that i don't even enjoy posting in them anymore.
FYC, this is supposed to be a fashion based blog, because it's still the one thing that interests me most in my spare time from studying, eating and studying.
So lets hope the bunny is motivated enough to jump out of her bunny hole from time to time to post some of her bunny findings on here.
Anyway, I got me a slightly too expensive but real cognac coloured suede leather bag at H&Ms last week, considering the sudden goldrush on my giro, and it's become my constant companion since then. It looks even prettier with a couple of light-flowers stuffed inside it (which is unfortunately a bit more difficult to wear on the streets - BUT I'll be searching for portable batteries anyway at some point!)
