since i'd seen those absolutely wonderful studded converse at lazy bones really wanted to have a pair myself - screams for a DIY! i own three pairs of converse, one of them i used to call halloween-shoes because they're orange and came with black laces.. well, i don't like orange anymore, so i decided i'll bleach them, just like the ones above, after that i'll see how the colours are and if they're not satisfying, i'll try to paint or dye them or bleach them again or whatever and then finally stud them. well, that point souds easy but it isn't. i can't decide if i should use pyramid studs or round studs, gold or silver ones and if i should do a even pattern or just spread the studs randomly - i like every possibility, in the end i think it'll depend on the colour..
i've been searching for some inspiration and at least i know that small studs look way better than big ones, luckily i ordered some 7mm pyramid-studs via ebay last week. i also found an other pair of studded converse there, you can also find them at the bloodycat webstore and i love that store anyway, they've got some awesome things there ♥ -just the korean signs are a bit confusing..
i picked up some developed lomography today and really, this time nearly everything has been crap, just the one above went out pretty beautiful.. i love how the trees are reflected by the frozen lake.. and do you see that red light leak at the bottom? it's in nearly every picture and i love it, it's kind of my brand label.. i originally wanted to have my negatives cross-processed but those stupid people from the drugstore didn't get that.. what a pity, i'd really loved to see how the colours would have changed..
sometimes i can't believe how many beautiful and awesome things you can find in the world through the internet.. today i discovered an absolutely awesome online store called BMA modified , and next to a bunch of super cute sweaters and shirts they've got the most spectacular and remarkable plugs i've ever seen.. they are so beautiful! sadly they only sell them in pairs and i can nowhere find how much shipping is, but really, i LOVE THAT STORE. ♥ - check it out.
finally my so long desired skeleton sweater arrived and i absolutely fell in love with it, it's cozy and warm and an affordable though beautiful alternative to the wildfox sweater, well, I LOVE EBAY ♥
guess what arrived here today: holga's new little sister, DIANA ♥ i came home and found the package and really, thanks so much to polga, i'm so so happy! i can't wait to shoot and i've also been on the search for some colours to paint it the whole week, although i didn't find anything until now, i think i'll need some special paint for plastic.. well, tomorrow i'm gonna check out a local do-it-yourself store and see if i'm going to find something.. can't wait to get creative and give her the yummy donut look! and really, how cute do holga and diana look together? ♥ ♥ ( i think i'll have to paint my holga somehow, too - wich i had originally planned, that's also the reason why i bought a white one.. because holga's going to be jealous about diana, being not as beautiful and special as diana's going to be.. i already had an idea a long time ago, the GALAXY-holga - wich is kinda impossible to paint.. well, let's see!)
that's what i feel like at the moment at least - i can't believe it, i really won the diana mini at somelostgirls contest! A W E S O M E. i can't wait to recieve it and finally really customize it! (and shoot for the first time! i'm pretty excited about the 72-frame thing..) well, that absolutely made my day, but then i came around here and saw that i reached the 100 readers over night! A W E S O M E. i love you guys, really every single one of you ♥ ♥ ♥ ( so that's actually why i feel like NYAN CAT)
i've been in love with skeleton, bone or rib cage prints on sweaters,shirts or tights for a very long time so i really wanted to have something similar to the absolutely perfect - but too expensive - wildfox sweater.. and now i finally found one on ebay and ordered it right away, it's soo gorgeous and i can't wait to recieve the package.. ♥ i also discovered some very cheap creepers from china,and since the original undergroud creepers are about 100€ and those would be around 30€ + 7€ shipping they are an absolutely affordable alternative and i think they just look exactly like the originals.. so i'm really thinking of ordering them but well, creepers are pretty cool but also pretty strange.. BUT they're special and nobody around here would have the same ones.. so what do you think? get it or not? //edit: i couldn't resist, i just bought them :D
i'm back from livigno and it was an absolutely wonderful week. i had a lot of fun snowboarding, i learned some new tricks, the weather was great and i also had the chance to watch the RIVER JUMP snowboard contest live, wich was amazing. the riders did some really cool tricks, actually really jumping over a small river in between the kickers! O: returning back i discovered that my diana mini donut made it and mine's now one of the twelve final designs, so please help me and VOTE! thank you so much! ♥ ♥ and if you want to laugh: i also got a small video for you, showing my skills in snowboarding - well at least i tried that super funny air bag they had in their snowpark, without being able to do a special trick, i just flew out of any control - watch it here.. i shot some analougue photos too, so as soon as they're developed i'll show them to you!
since i've been talking about travelling in my last post already i decided to tell you something about the destinations of my dreams (also to take part in a competition to win 1000€ for travelling!), wich i would die for to visit just once as long as i'm still living..
if i could choose a city it would definitely be NEW YORK CITY. i'm somehow fascinated by huge cities and all the possibilites.. you could spend a lifetime there and you wouldn't have seen everything! i love new york and it's sights, like liberty island, the empire state building or the big apple, all the wonderful shops, secondhand and vintage stores and the beautiful street markets, districts like soho or the central park i would definitely visit and all the inspiration you'll find there is irreplaceable.. new york's got so many faces and i would be curious to discover them all.
if i had to choose a country it would definitely be an asian one, china, japan, korea, they're all fascinating, but to enjoy a beautiful and relaxing trip i'd choose THAILAND. next to a beautiful culture, delicious food, interesting cities, there is the landscape, especially beaches that are absolutely awesome.. white sand and a deep and turquoise ocean to do boat trips or diving down to beautiful underwater worlds. the dream of thailand and the asian countries kind of always had been there since my dad had been travelling through asia when he was young and until now i can't get enough of his stories and the beautiful photographs he made. he kind of brought up that desire for travelling in me i think..
