Shopping: WGT 2016

The WGT is now about 4 weeks over. And i finally managed to take pictures of all things i bought at the Festival.

This jear war the first time i went to the WGT Festival. And it was amazing. I spend a lot of money on new things. And now i want to show them to you

The Skirt

A pouffy princessy big skirt in black and purple with lots of tulle and cute little bows. Its a Sinister Skirt (my third one now)

The Corset

A Corset from Burlesca, the same purple as the skirt. Its got plastic bones and so it is very confty for wearing every day.

The Jacket

A steampunk Jacket, i have already worn at the victorian picnic, from Phaze. It was really strange to wear that much brown.

The Bracelet

At the "Heidnischen Dorf" i found a really cute bat bracelet. And my boyfriend decided that i really need this. And now i wear this nearly every weekend. 

The Tophat

I decided that i badly need a Tophat. And at the Aderlass Store i found the one i looked for. And i am wearing it every time i can. 

The dress

finally i got a Hell Bunny dress with all over bat print. Its really great to wear and super cute. I think i need a petticoat going with this.

Daily Planner + free download

Its been a long time since the last post. Again. I didnt manage to post as regularily as i wannted to. 

So i need to organize my days a lot better. And how could you do this the easyest way? By getting a daily planner!

Because there was no planner on sale what suits me with the classification of the days, i took a look at pinterest and found one that i liked. It is to download and print for free, great thing. The problem is: its bright and colorfull and very ungothy, so i would not use it.

Here is the link to it: Daily Planner German and English

and another one that i liked a lot: daily planner german

So i decided to make one my own, bought a blank journal and started to design pages at my PC. And when finishing the first page i realized that there is no need of printable pages when already haveing a journal.
So there was the next thought. Buying a binder for the printables or design the pages of the journal? I decided to buy a binder. Why? It is a lot easyer and it was a lot work creating the printable because i am not really good at working with a computer.

I will start useing my new journal at the 1st of June. (Today) In my opinion it is a good date to start something new. half the year is over so its time to take a look back at new years resolutions. How far did you came up with them? Did you finish one already? (like loosing weight, reading a book or so) 

And maybe it is time to get on some new ones. Or update the old ones. 

Back to the planner. Here is the pags i've made. Please feel free to download and print for your personal use. 

the picute is linked to the pdf

From now on i hope i could manage to do regular blog postings and do not stop after two successful weeks. 

How do you manage to stay on plan? And how are you planning out your day/week?

Bat wishes and have a nice day,

DIY: quick Jewelry Box

Some time ago i've been looking around pinterest on some diy ideas. And i came up with:

I need a jewelry box to hold my Piercings.

There are so many great ideas on makeing your own personalised jewelry boxes. Or boxes to hold other stuff. 

heres the link to it

This one i fell totaly in love with. this miniature dresser is so awesome! Unfortunately it is already sold. (and i think it would be really expensive.)

And so i was looking on one i can do myself looking a bit like this. And i found a really simple and quick tutorial on doing a little jewelry box. 

And here is the matching link with the tutorial: follow me

useing an empty Ferrero Rocher Container is a really great idea. Especially because i love them. And so i grabed my black paint and an jewelry piece to glue on top and started following the instructions

I simply added some red felt to the inside to give it a more Coffin like look. And prevent the piercing from skratching of the collour. 

It does not look like the jewelry box i fell in love with but it is pretty cool and very cheap too.

show me your diy jewelry boxes. Or do you have some great ones bought?

have a nice day,

Outfit: going a little Steampunk

I am sooo excited!! My Boyfriend and i are going to the WGT (wave gothic treffen) Festival at Leipzig, Germany this year! And because of this i need some really coll outfits. And i started by putting some Steampunk elements to my normal styling.
The outfit is not completed yet. There are a hat or headpice left, some jewelry like earrings and bracelets.

Here is what i am haveing so far:

Skirt from Draculaclothing: black three layer bustle skirt
Shoes from Demonia
Corsett from Steamdreams: Corsett "Rebecca"
Necklace from Thrift Shop
Blouse from my Moms Wardrobe
Handbag from a Dollar Store (Box, der Kleinpreiskönig)

I really look forward wearing this outfit.
Maby i will change the blouse and make one myself. But thats a question of time.

So what do you think? Does the outfit look good? Is something essential missing? Because this is a kind of experiment. Usually i wear all black.

Only 9 days left to WGT!!

Goth at (and) the Gym

Gym's are some of the non gothy places number one. But: wanting a hot and toned body is a lot of work and this is done at a gym the easyest way. And nowadays working out, eating healty and beeing strong is everywere on media. Watching tv is not working without some fitness advertising. And because of that i thougt, why not blogging a bit about fitness?

Finding the right gym is the first step. How far is the gym away? What does it cost? What do they offer?

Then there is the next step: Time. One of my personal major problems. When do i go? How often do i want to work out?

And number three: motivation. What motivates me to go? Do i have a training partner? What do i need to do to stay motivated?

When visiting the gym i sometimes felt really unconfy. All the bright colours and loud top 10 chart music makes me feel not good. So i needed to change someting. And i started with the music. Getting out my old mp3 player and packed it full of good heavy metal and goth music.
As next the workout clothes. I get myself some black shoes and trousers. And a top from "Poison Industries" what gave me a good feeling back. Finally i toped it with a black towel and water bottle.
For now you can see i am a goth at the gym.

And while surfing the net, i saw the #healthgoth website were you can find goth gym clothing

the healthgoth website

Dont want to go to a gym? No problem. The internet is full of home gym programs. They are mostely really expensive and high intense. Not the right for everybody.

But fortunetly there is youtube. Full of fitness coaches who showes you how to workout at home without a gym or expensive online training.
My favourite youtube fitness coach is Joanna Soh. She is crazy high energysed. But her workouts do really work. And also all recipes i tried out so far tasted really delicious.

here is the link to her official website: J Soh official

writing this blog helps me getting my motivation back to do more workout. What gets you motivated? are you haveing a motivation board? And what do you do to stay fit?

DIY: Pincushion out of a ashtray

A few days ago i went shopping with a friend of mine and i found a really great looking ashtray at "TEDI's" - this is something like a german version of a Dollar Store. And because i am an non smoker i have no use for it. But will i really be a crafty goth when heaving no idea what to do with it?

And after a while of thinking - and sewing - i came up with the idea to make a pincushion out of it.

This is what i used:

- the skull ashtray
- pillow fluff
- black stretchy velvet
- cardboard
- hot glue


I start by cutting out a piece of cardbord that fits inside the ashtray with a bit of space all around.

As next, sew a long strip to a round piece of the fabrik so that it looks like a half sitting pillow and its a bit whider than the ashtray.

then glue the cardborad as bottom to it, leaving a small space to stuff it with the pillow fluff.

when its completely stuffed, glue the opening shot an glue it into the ashtray.

And now you are done with a really spooky and gothy pincushion what looks good on every sewing table and give it an extra gothy look.

I had a lot of fun doing this. And it would be great to see or read what unusual transformations you did out of Dollar Store finds, or did you have the same Idea as i did?
So, what are other sewing supplies that need to be gothed up?
