My Tel Aviv Dreaming

Click to read about my dream-holiday. 

But BEWARE, because:

1) it´s picture-heavy

2) It´s not a fashion post, you´ll see me in sweatshirt

2) there are my super-amateur videos too

3) I am sometimes being too sentimental

SoLolita almost head to toe... without being a lolita (Sponsored review)

Hello! Let´s go to VOLUME 2 post about what came in my last SoLolita parcel.

With the lavender wig there were 2 beautiful bracelet-rings and cute over-knee socks.

I wore it all for my photoshoot with my photographer friend Ketmara.

this is a little recapitulation of all my SoLolita items - I really think I can choose well :)

Black Lace Nonwoven Flower with Pearls Lolita Bracelet

A rather gothic lolita item, a bracelet with detailed black butterfly, passes into a victorian ring. Elegant and classy, yet dramatic accessory. I wore it in black -white combination, together with another piece of my SoLolita stuff - Over knee lolita socks, that you can find at their web as:

Cute Pop Personality White Stripes Dots Lolita Knee Stockings 

First I was worried about the socks, having already some unpleasant experience from random shops that sell lolita socks: Usually, what was meant to be over knee socks (It was! On a tiny, thin Asian model) was under-knee socks on me. My legs of average (I am quite slim and not very tall) proportions always used to deform the cute lolita designs, so Milky-Chans became mutant and lolipops were oval instead of round! Only my skinny legged friends wore these socks and looked normal.

BUT NOT THIS TIME!- see, these socks suit me, are long enough and elastic enough...

Gorgeous Four Red Rose and A Big Flower Lolita Bracelet

This beauty was my love at first sight with instant "I-NEED-THIS"- kind of reaction!

I love the four rings - a rose on each finger, like those knuckle tatoos with LOVE or HATE written on one´s fingers. The rose rings are all adjustable, of course, so they´ll fit the middle finger as well as the little one. Four chains connect them with really HUGE red rose on your wrist.

I can wear it with goth, streetwear or something crazy boho- and in all cases it makes a cherry on top of the outfit. BEHOLD!

Lavender waves (SoLolita Wig sponsored review)

Hello my dear readers/watchers/stalkers,

As you know already, I was lucky to get a chance to cooperate with lovely store SoLolita, who supplied me recently with more awesome stuff.

The total top is  a wig I call "the lavender waves" and that´s what I am blogging about in this post.

 It´s a fluffy, full, high quality lolita wig of lavender colour mixed with yellow highlights, that comes with two big detachable "pony tails". I love the curls, the material which looks silky and is smooth and surprisingly good to brush for a synthetic curly wig. Not talking about the colour combination, which is amazingly sweet.

At the store you find it as: 

                                               Lolita Dreamful Purple with Light Yellow Curly Cosplay Wig

I made many photos with the wig on already, some from fashion shoot I had with my friend Ketmara, some artistic and I even had this wig with me in Tel Aviv where I went for modeling - and used in a photoshoot as well!:) So my wig is not only universal but also world- traveled :)

OUTFIT #1 - photos by Ketmara

Inspired by the sixties and classic comics, I found a match in my yellow coat and the yellow strands of hair in the wig. The round black glasses go with black round buttons. This outfit was - to my big surprise - selected as "inspiration" at czech fashion critic web Modni Peklo!

Apricot chiffon skirt, tights: Oasap

Suede wedges with golden studs: Aldo

OUTFIT #2

This time it´s the wig with the hairfalls attached, creating more "manga" look with "big" head compared to the classically sexy silhouette in minidress. The loose galaxy print t-shirt dressed over the dress is for me a good way how to tune the "sexiness" down a bit. F. e. I wear it with the t- shirt at work, then go to the party and take the t- shirt off.

...this backstage pic shows how I love SoLolita wigs! :D

And now let´s go for some artistic pics taken by Denerog in my studio:

and last one, from Tel Aviv by Mike Darzi:

Sideshow Cheerleader (outfit,DYI)

Freaks 1932 are my favourite movie and the chant "Gooble Gobble, one of us" is not only creepy as f*ck, but also it´s an incredibly strong chant of acceptance - of being different. I felt like having a shirt with it is a MUST, so I made myself one. The font I used and the design with stars is ironically similar to sport t-shirt designs, because I love the idea of Gooble Gobble being remixed and filmed into a fight chant with freakish cheerleaders dancing with pompoms...:) !

My outfit is basically inspired by 1950 ´s fashion - something like Grease´s pink ladies would wear in  parallel reality, where freaky is normal and "normal" is weird - exactly like in the Freaks movie.

I designed the motif in InDesign, printed it out, cut with scissors and use as a template for handwriting with textile colour. I used basic H&M asymetric long top.

more photos:

I also made a "REDRUM" shirt, a homage to King and Kubrick and their immortal classic The Shining. I´ll sow you next time.

Now a little more to Freaks. For my art exhibition I had in January I made 3 photographic self portraits impersonating Freaks characters - which were real people in 1930´s circus freakshow bussiness. I am fascinated by their lives and stories so much.

I used myself as a model because it was an inner experience for me to impersonate them. To feel like Daisy and Violet Hilton who are never alone, or like Josephine - neither woman nor a man, or like Elvira and Jennie Lee the pinheads, who are little girls in wonderland that never grew up though they are 30.

So here "they" are - all stylings/manips by me.

Sisters Elvira and Jennie Lee Snow

Siamese twins Daisy and Violet Hilton

Androgynous Josephine Joseph 

Feel free to comment - on the movie, or the self portraits, or the outfit - I really appreciate your words :3

Liebe ist ein wilder Tier (Photoshoot + SoLolita dress review)

Hello there - today there´s gonna be some serious fashion so check it out:)

As I wrote earlier, I started a cooperation with SoLolita, which offered me to pick two items from their store. Today I am going to show you one of those, a classical looking red long sleeved lolita dress.

Original Retro Alice long sleeve Wine Red Flounced Classic Lolita Dress

At the beginning of the review, the team of SoLolita is wonderful. Both customer and tailoring service!  When I was picking a size, I was hesitating between two sizes. One seeme to fit me well in measures, but not height - the measure chart was offering the size for someone 15 centimetres shorter than me (which I found funny sice I tend to consider myself a hobbit being 166 cm with most friends taller than me). I wrote the contact person and told my concern about the skirt looking too short or the waist too high on me. I was asked for my actual measures and soon A PERFECTLY CUSTOM TAILORED DRESS CAME TO ME. Fits me really well:

Because this article has to have the proper review part, I will write about the qualities not visible from photographs. The fabric is very good, quite thick with not much need of ironing. The skirt is very full, looks good with no petticoat but is a little bit too heavy for a small soft petticoats. The frills on the skirt, buttons and details on sleeves are tailored very well.

The dress came with two detachable bows and a belt. That makes the dress versatile which I appreciate. I used the bigger of the bows in this look and put it on my waist. I am looking forward to wearing this dress for example in more casual way combined with completely different belt. It also looks great with nothing added, no bows and stuff.

In this close-up you can see the white lace collar, which I decorated with white floral brooch pin to have the look more detailed&decorative:

I went for my longest wig to wear with it, the dark brown "Silky straight" from Lockshop. With many shades of red (from brownish to bright) and burgundy together with white details (as the collar, pumps and hair flower accessories) I tried to create a classical lolita look in rather unusual colorway, as the dress itself seems "too bright" for the classic lolita style and so does the white.

My make-up was also white and red. I created this porcelain doll appearance with a twist of "ill" or creepy look as the eyeshadows are red and eyeliner pale. I played with my eyebrows this time, painting it also reddish tone and finishing it with black dots.

I love this carousel musicbox that you can see in the photo below! I bought it at Prague´s biggest flea market, it´s not as old as it looks like but it plays a Christmas song. I so very enjoy old circus and carnival theme in general, as well as carousel horse theme in lolita fashion. And... since this beautiful dress reminded me of this Rammstein music video, I couldn´t take the photos elsewhere than in trees and branches. But it´s no fairytale forrest, it´s our garden:)

Thank for the photos to my cute and skilled boyfriend Denerog!

Love,

KK
