<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So this year, I have decided to take it easy: instead of the two million resolutions I would normally make, I plan to keep going with the ones I started figuring out in 2016 and some humble others I added to the list. None of them are too pretentious and when I consider them all as a whole, it is still not too scary. That, I can tell you, is half of a victory to me. After careful consideration, these are my final NY resolutions. I just hope not to give them up by next month.</span></span></div>

we moved last September, I work from home, which is time saves on hellish daily
commute. At the end of the month, it is quite a lot, to be honest. And in spite
of it, I feel I don´t benefit as much as I should. 2017 will be the year I´ll
try to spend more quality time just doing things I like. My main aim is to have
had some fun at the end of the day. <u>Every day. </u>Because if life is not
about enjoying ourselves and being happy, what is it about?</span></span></span></div>

Indeed, we lived so many exciting events during these twelve months, I would really struggle to write about all of them and keep it short and clear.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is a trending Scandinavian philosophy out there, based on the act of embracing indoors life, mostly during cold months. They call it <i>Hygge, </i>I call it a <b>simple life</b>. I´ve always considered myself a homely person, who doesn´t really feel as good going out to meet people as staying indoors and having a truly quiet time by myself, or just with my beloved ones. My idea of a happy evening is curling up with a cup of tea and a good movie or book. That´s it.<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b> </b></span>This year, I experienced an unpleasant series of events at work which made me realize at last I am not really fitted for office life. So from that moment, I took action and started moving in the right direction both for mental health and professional development. I am glad I finally got to know me, although it has been a longer process than intended.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: large;">So this was my 2016 and I am already looking forward to see what 2017 will bring. I hope you all had a good year.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am still amazed by the fact it is the last month of the year already. However, I am very glad Christmas is here, as it is my favourite festive season, so far. This year, I have less spare time than last December, and although I can´t make a daily post, I don´t want to stop enjoying <b><a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/search/label/blogmas" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><i>Blogmas</i></span></a></b>. So my solution is <b>to post at least once a week this month</b>, with a <b>little sum-up</b> of the main events, and holiday activities. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

As I <a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/2013/12/christmas-concert-at-romanian-atheneum.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>mentioned</b></span></a> before, I love going to concerts and musical stravagganza during the Christmas season. So after careful consideration between several option, we decided to go to watch Oneguin this year. <b><i>Oneguin</i></b> is one of our forever favourite Russian works, and I am glad this is our first live opera. I will tell you more about our experience when the time comes, for sure! </span></span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also, on Saturday we finally managed to watch the so-long-awaited <i>Fantastic Beasts</i>. We usually have a cinema date every weekend, and tend to take the opportunity to make it special by wearing our best frocks (you know how difficult it can be when you´re proper adults holding boring adult schedules during week/working days, don´t you?). I thought about using my handmade bolero and striped dress, but the weather did not agree, so I ended up wearing something much more cozy and boring. Anyway, we enjoyed the movie A LOT, which was the main point.</span></span></span></h3>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Autumn arrived in the beginning of October, and since then it´s been awfully cold.</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In my world that means only one thing: it is time to fill my already stuffed tea cupboard, take the soft blankets out of the wardrobe and curl up with a good book. I love books all year long, but somehow the <a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/2015/10/octoberfavourites.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>cold months are my favourites</b></span></a> for endless reading sessions. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Consequently, this might be the period when I buy the most of my paper editions (the rest of the year I tend to download on my ebook, but when Winter comes I prefer the company of a good old paper specimen), as I take advantage from all the seasonal releases. One of the titles on my last book haul was <i>Tales of the Peculiar</i> by Ranssom Riggs.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">First, I was impressed by the beauty of the hard cover design, all decorated with golden letters, as well as the detailed illustrations, which remind me of old engraving. Also, the quality of the paper is pretty good for such an inexpensive edition. The publishing house made a real attempt to recreate the <b>old fashioned fairy tales look</b> with this anthology.</span></span></span></h3>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Regarding to the content itself, in the fictional universe of the author, these are supposed to be the original tales mentioned in <i>Miss Peregrine</i> saga. They are a fun, enjoyable, easy reading bunch of <b>fables</b>, containing the classic final moral.</span></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don´t think they are the best of Riggs writing. However, they are a <b>delightful light reading</b> for a quiet evening at home. Very appealing if you are into fairy tales with an odd twist, like <i>Perrault</i> versions. Probably, you will specially enjoy <i>The Woman who Befriended Ghosts</i> as well as <i>The Splendid Cannibals. </i>They are both wonderful dark comedy tales for adults I would recommend to anyone.</span></span></span></h3>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Technically speaking, it should have taken about three hours and a half, but the train was awfully delayed and the Customs check took like one hour and a half just by itself which is... well, the reason why <b>you shouldn´t travel by train in East Europe if you can avoid it</b>...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a consequence, we barely managed to check in our hotel, and have a little walk around the town center. By then it was a bit cold, so we stopped to refuel with some <i>Gulash. </i>Afterwards, we had some city sights around the parliament area and went back to the hotel, where we collapsed.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The bastion area (<i>Buda</i> old citadel) includes Matthias church as well as the castle. We couldn´t visit the latter, as it was Monday (closing day for all the museums), but we had a lovely walk all around the place. Once we left old town, we moved to the parliament, where we had arranged a programed tour. Of all the places you should visit while in Budapest, that is <u>THE ONE</u>.<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span>Seriously guys, if you love Neogothic madness, just <b><u>go there</u></b>.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are so many beautiful stone angels, and marble ladies on vaporous gowns around it is completely impossible to take photos of every single one. We definitely need to go back for at least another photo session, as it is a truly pity not to get to see it all at once. This is for sure a very recommendable excursion for any art lover who pays Romania a visit!</span></span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the last year or so I´ve been falling into the habit of shopping less, but better quality makeup.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So now and then when I make a purchase, I try to give a chance to both medium and high-end brands in an attempt to make my own opinion. I´ve always felt a bit intimidated by the huge quantity of makeup reviews out there (am I the only one who wants to hide in a corner and cry when you receive all those contradictory reviews on <i>blogs/youtube</i> and so on?), and I would happily cut my right hand rather than just sitting there for HOURS trying to figure out what internet gurú is right, because well, most probably they all have a point as long as a product does not work the same for everybody. </span></span></span></h2>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After carefully consideration, some research and shopping, I finally began to see what brands I prefer in terms of price/quality, which ones are a good deal, and which ones simply don´t make it for me. </span></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of the things I am most interested about is <b>lip products </b>(you
can totally call it a guilty pleasure, indeed!). If you have been following me for
some time now, you know <b>I have a soft spot for crimson/berry shades</b>. <i>Such a surprise right? A dark mistress who loves vampy colours...</i> But yeah, I can be a cliché sometimes, <u>and I am totally OK with it</u>. </span></span></div>

However, that´s am scenario I love, as my vivid imagination tends to portray a post-apocalyptic landscape (the image of a metropolis after vampire consumption, or maybe once the zombie plague is over.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the beginning of the week I tried to organize my spare time a little bit, as I had no chance at all recently. I thought sorting out my Summer reads could be a nice start, as this task seems to have lived in my <i>to-do list</i> like FOREVER.</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So last Monday I patiently sat on the bedroom, and started separating the unfinished books in a group that I called the "<i>pile of shame</i>" </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> almost immediately (as a philologist and a general bookworm it is quite rare to leave any unfinished stories to me. However, most of them happened to be short stories compendiums, which I tend not to read in strict chapter order. As a result, there´s always some story forgotten and left behind). </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></span></span></span></span></h4>

Yes, that´s the man I married...) </span></span></span></span></span></h4>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This novel had been on my bucket list for quite a long time. Last month I accidentally found it on my favourite bookstore, and brought it home with me. I started reading it the same day, but work schedules did not leave me a lot of time, so my progress was a very slow one. Right now, I have got much more time to read, so I am happy to say I´m nearly finished and truly fascinated by the read. I hope to finish by the end of this week, so I can share my impressions with you all.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished Coraline a couple of days ago, and loved it to bits! A classic horror children story by its own right, full of life lesson for children and adults. I specially enjoyed the fact it is such an imaginative book, and it contains a truly valuable message to little girls. If you haven´t read Coraline yet, please, make yourself a favor and get a copy as soon as possible.</span></div>

So it´s time to show some proper respect to it by finishing the volume.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lately, life has been<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: large;">kind of a whirlpool. </span></span></span></span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the scarce past two months events happened with an awesome quickness, leaving me with hardly any energy to do anything else than mechanic survival activities: feeding, sleeping, breathing. Other than that, time was a luxury I couldn´t afford. But all things come to an end (even the worst ones, for as popular wisdom reminds us, there´s always sunshine after the storm). So here I am again, ready for some changes, a new adventure, and a little life update to share.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">By now, I am quite sure I could write a good 1000 words about why stressful office jobs are not (and probably will never be) my natural environment. I could tell you about how introverts and big companies do not mix well together, and also quite a bit about how sometimes companies tend to forget it is important to remember trial periods are not just for them to judge new employees, but also the other way around. However, there´s <u>no use to cry over spilt milk</u>, and I always like to move on.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I like to think most of the time life is all about balance, and for some reason, positive and negative events tend to balance themselves through one´s existence.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am quite sure everyone has got a specific gift as much as I am sure most of them feel insecure about it. Of course I am <u>not exception at all</u>. For the last decade, I have cultivated my own talent, but at the same time, I have been too scared to consider it as a future professional option. Now, I know this is a topic I tend not to speak about in here (another symptom of insecurity, most certainly) which doesn´t mean it is not one of the greatest if not the only existential battle in my life. I hate being so rudely vague, but I am sure some day I will feel confident enough to tell you more about it. For now, let´s just say I am working on an ambitious project, and trying to collect the professional background support I need. Maybe some day I will use this talent for a living, who knows?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every year around May Bucharest celebrates the <a href="http://comic-con.ro/"><b><span style="color: #674ea7;">East-European Comic Con</span></b></a> which, as the name implies, it is the most important fan event in this side of the continent. I´ve been regularly attending for three years, as I do enjoy a good dose of video games, graphic novels, role games, and fantasy/horror/sci-fi movie screening. For a long ti<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">me</span> now, I´ve <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">felt</span> fascinated about cosplay too and I attend the official contest to admire all those wonderful cosplayers every single time. However, as I am quite a shy person, I never had the balls to go as any of my favourite characters to the event itself. I always start planning things, but one way or another I always find an excuse to procratinate on the dress making process, and eventually I always give up...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This year, however, I thought the best way to stop being afraid is not to put too much pressure on myself and just having fun, so I don´t panic at the very last minute (and I mean literally panicking, with the kind of social anxiety that may actually cause an agoraphobic attack, as it has happened a couple of times now). So instead of starting a very elaborate project and potentially feeling overwhelmed, I will wear a toned down version of my own <b><i>HP</i></b> universe character, something I feel easy and comfortable. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Basically, my idea is to put together all the little handmade pieces I could find at home, and become a <i>Slytherin</i> witch! As a matter of fact, I am a <i>Ravenclaw</i> at heart, but I own so many emerald green pieces, I thought it would be a lot easier to put something together for the occasion. I will be wearing my own DIY Empire waist dress, my magic wand, a handmade green bow, and a pretty green emerald necklace I just found last evening (instead of the ones I am wearing in the pictures). It is nothing too pretentious, but a simple idea.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would like to introduce you all to <b><i>Miss Sybille Wintergrass</i></b>, a member of a distant branch of the Greengrass family (considered by some the 29th sacred pure blood linage, and only left behind by Cantakerus Nott due to its half-French origins). Miss Sybille decided to break the family tradition by attending <i>Hogwar<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">t</span>s</i> instead of <i>Beauxbatons,</i> where she was selected for <i>Slytherin,</i> due to<i> </i>her natural<i> </i>interest for poisons<i> </i>and forbidden grimoires. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the Second Wizarding War, the whole clan moved to Switzerland, where they remained neutral. Sybille resumed her interrupted studies with several tutors, including a couple of wizards belonging to the dark Grindelwald family. Once war was over, they returned to their manor house in the Lake District. By then the young witch was able to find an internship at the Great Magic Arts Library, where she worked and learned about grimoires conservation with a focus on poisonous herbology compendiums. Afterwards, she opened her own book shop at <i>Knockturn Alley</i>, where many tell she sells not only manuals, but also the most subtle potions ever made...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">By now you probably know I rarely post any spontaneous beauty reviews. <b>However</b>, when I find a product I truly like, I can make an exception and talk a little about it. As you certainly guess, this is totally one of those unusual occasions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">During our little Vienna holiday two weeks ago (more on that coming later), I accidentally stumbled upon a <i>MAC Cosmetics</i> store and decided to stop and have a look. I should explain that, although we do have a shop in Bucharest, it is quite a small one and unfortunately its stock is normally quite modest for a number of reasons. Nevertheless, its Austrian counterpart was reasonably interesting in terms of supplies, so I took the chance for a quick look.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I have read so many reviews about their lip products over the years, I had to go straight for them. Crimson and berry shades are my cup of tea when it comes to lipstick, so after a brief check, I favored <i>Diva </i>over other options (which was kind of funny, as I deeply dislike the name. It is a bit pretentious, right?). But going back to the product itself, I quickly became attracted both, to shade and matte texture.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I couldn´t resist the temptation and I used it for the first time next day, and this is pretty much what I noticed about it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1. First: </span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The colour is a deep rich wine-berry shade, and it looks more impressive when applied (maybe because I am quite pale, so it makes a beautiful contrast with my skin). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">2. Second: </span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pigmentation is amazing. Even with just one layer the product looks colourful. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>3. Third: </b>I found the matte texture reasonably easy to apply. It can make my naturally dry lips even drier and using a balm before applying is a good idea. However, I must say I didn´t find it any worse than any other matte lipsticks I own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><b>4. Fourth: </b>Allegedly long-lasting was not that impressive, but quite standard. I had some coffee after about four hours wearing, and although the colour was OK in most places, I needed to re-apply on the inner corners of my lips. Not totally perfect but I think it is acceptable (and I can be a bit messy while eating/drinking to be totally fair, pretty much like the cookie monster...)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To sum it up, a would say what I love the most is all about colour, pigmentation and texture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Nevertheless, I think they could make it a bit better with durability. But will I shop again? Most definitely, <b>YES</b>. As a matter of fact, I found it quite professional, and I would like to test other products in order to see if they are equally valuable.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span></b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now, before you all get worried about it and start kindly asking me if I am OK and so on, I am <u>totally fine</u>. I am just referring to that type of week when every single little thing seems to delay or twist, causing not serious but annoying trouble. It is just like we all enjoy our own dose of <b>Murphy´s Law</b> now and then, and this time it was my turn.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is a bit too complicated to explain it here, but long story short: I spent half of the week trying to sort a bureaucratic process without any result, lost a delivery parcel because of being home absent, and had a couple of little irritating domestic accidents due to anxiety making me even more clumsy than usual.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">When sad, there are a few things that can actually make me as happy as thrifted books. They are old, paper printed and beautifully designed. Plus, they are bargains and I must admit I am always lucky to find favourite authors and titles. This week treasure is courtesy of <i>The Gentle One, </i>who shops from an old bookseller visiting his faculty once a month. I admit this arrived just in time to improve my otherwise gloomy mood. I have been a big fan of Vincent Price master of horror generation for a while now, and my heart jumped with pleasure when I saw this was a terror anthology commented by Ackerman himself. <b>Little spooky girls need their treats sometimes! </b></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> 2. <b>Good films!</b></span></span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">When I feel grumpy (and by grumpy I mean the type of mood somebody else would consider some kind of pre-killing spree state) one of the few real therapy solutions is watching a good movie. Lately, I´ve been re-watching some of my all-times most loved classics, because well, those are the ones that can never disappoint you. A couple of nights ago I chose <u><i>Ugetsu</i></u> by Kenzo Mizoguchi. I always forget what a beautiful story it is. Whoever thinks <i>Gothic Romance</i> is exclusive from Western culture is totally wrong. <i>Ugetsu</i> is full of moon beams, ghostly landscapes, floating fog, pales ladies and family spirits. If Japanese cinema is new for you, I would totally recommend starting with this film.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b> </b>Although Catholic Easter was almost a month ago, Orthodox holiday will be celebrated at the very beginning of May. <i>The Gentle One</i> handled his thesis last week, and that means he is totally free from 24/7 academic work for the first time since last September (hooray!) To be honest, I don´t know if I´ll get used to enjoying married life again, since I almost forgot how it is! (Should I check one of those 50´s housewives lesson books yet? Because, if we speak about traditional roles, I don´t think I can cook to save my life. But I think I will have another cocktail with my book, thankyouveymuch...) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Where was I? Oh yes. The thing is, we decided to take the chance and pay another visit to Vienna, as we loved it so much the first time we visited two years ago. Also, he will have some little work to do in the university of Bratislav, but even so, we will get time enough to visit the place for a day or two, and we plan to spend the rest of the week in Austria. As a consequence, I had some spare time to plan the trip, and that was almost as pleasant as a holiday<b> itself.</b></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Obviously, this is related to point number one, but not exclusively attached to it.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In general, April was a good month for reading. I managed to finish my re-reading from <i>A Dance with Dragons </i>before <i>GoT</i> season 6 (although avoiding spoilers during the week we´ll be in Vienna will be more challenging, I guess...), as well as reading the half of the <i>Outlander</i> series part three. Also, I finally decided to scratch another book from the literature bucket list, and I started <i>The Tale of Genji by </i>Murasaki a few days ago. It is about a thousand pages on my chosen edition, but I am not in a hurry, so I believe it will be OK. My only source of concern is how much my tea intake is going to grow while reading it...</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi there, everyone and happy Easter!</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope you are all having a lovely holiday. This month has been kind of busy for me, as I am looking for a new job and some friends from Spain were visiting. Well, I am not going to talk about all those real life boring work details here. As for friends, we had an interesting but exhausting week together, I carefully documented in pictures, but those are kind of personal, so I need to see how many of them I am able to share here.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">However, I thought I could take the chance to document last Saturday, as it has been some time since my last "a day in pictures" sort of<a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/2015/12/blogmas-day-1-day-of-my-life-in-pictures.html"><span style="color: #674ea7;"> post.<span style="color: black;"> </span></span></a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Obviously, this occasion was no exception at all.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: black;"> I must admit I was shocked by the charm and <i>grandeur</i> of the venue once we entered. It is an amazing place (even for my <b><i>costume-drama-victim</i></b> strict standards), and all I can compare it with is the adorable cake shop at the film<i> Grand Hotel Budapest. </i>The main room conserves the entire ornamental frames and columns it must have displayed from the very beginning, and it is all coloured on delicate pastels. Sitting there made you feel immediately like a Downton Abbey character, just without all the fuss and crinoline.</span></span></span></div>

Their "<i>petit déjeuner</i>" consisted on a hot drink of your choice, orange juice and pancakes, served both with maple syrup or red fruits and cream at your discretion. I decided to try cappuccino and maple syrup, which were just <b>delicious</b> as you can judge by my happy face.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I repeatedly <a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/2016/01/our-gothic-victorian-wedding-portraits.html"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>said before</b></span></a>, it is time to stop procrastinating and <b><u>finally</u></b> to share some of the memories from our big day. It took us some time to collect all the pictures, as our photography studio was a small one and they struggled a bit during the end of the weddings season to edit and deliver both photos and albums. However, we are truly happy about the results (and will probably hire them again for our first anniversary). Also, we have been very busy with studies and work, and that never helps, does it? But the thing is I am able to post our memories now.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our big day started quite early in the morning. Most brides don´t sleep well the day before the wedding, but <i>The Gentle One</i> and I spent previous week showing Bucharest to our friends and relatives, so by the weekend we were truly exhausted. As a consequence, we both slept like children on our hotel room and woke up quite recovered. We said our goodbyes around eight in the morning (he went to his parents hotel to get ready and I stayed in our suite with my family) and began the whole "boudoir process". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In all honesty, I was far too nervous to really know what was going on around me, so I am glad my parents and aunt were calm, prompt and efficient with last minute preparations. It is something I will never be thankful enough for. All I can clearly remember was my shaking hands while I was trying to sip my tea. I wasn´t nervous because of getting married itself, but I am the kind of introvert person who doesn´t like being observed... yeah, that´s one of the reasons why we had a small celebration abroad, even twenty five people was a bit too much for me. But going back to the events, makeup and hair artists arrived early too, and did a lovely work by making me look human, considering how baggy eyed I looked.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Time went by really quickly, and by eleven o´clock was time to get dressed. I am proud to say most of my attire was <b>handmade</b> by local artists: my modified shoes, fan and bouquet were made by a Brazilian tailor who works in my native city in Spain. Also, my dress was designed, put together and sewn by my favourite auntie, who is an awesome artist herself as you can judge in the pictures. I am amazed by the fact she sew all the embroidered fabric by using her hands instead of a machine! She´s such a perfectionist (and just in case you are wondering, yes, <u>she takes custom orders</u> for alternative wedding gowns, just let me know if you are interested). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was time my aunt and mum left the hotel, so my dad and I stayed while the photo artist took the chance to capture some portraits of me in the gown. By then I didn´t know, but it was also time for the <u>wedding mini-disaster</u> to reveal itself: my car was supposed to pick my up at 12, as the ceremony started at 12:15 and the the venue was quite close to the hotel. But that <b>never happened</b>! At 12.05 The Gentle One called to check up with the car service, and they explained to him that due to an informatic issue they never reached our car booking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So basically, I was wearing my wedding dress and had no way to arrive on time to the ceremony. As you can imagine, that was not a funny moment, and most definitely it is something you don´t want to happen precisely in your wedding day...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">B</span>y the time these portraits were taken, I had no idea about the car issue yet. To make things even worst, the company told The Gentle One they had no cars available. I had no idea how I made it, but I was able to control panic long enough to ask the hotel front desk assistant if they had a car rent service using a foreign language I don´t speak fluently. But they did! After fifteen agonal minutes my father and I were happy to board the car and head the ceremony venue. Unfortunately, I made the groom wait almost half an hour in the aisle. Heaven blesses cell phones!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our ceremony was performed by a close friend of us in a 1912 theater (the legal part was celebrated in the Spanish embassy a two days before the big day in the company of our closest relatives). We exchanged both wedding vows and rings, as well as celebrating the traditional knot Celtic ritual to symbolize our union. Our significant ones spoke about love, and pronounced their good omens and marriage wishes for us. We listened our favourite music during the act, including <i>Schubert, Ataraxia, Angels of Liberty, The Cure and White Lies</i>. The whole event was very emotional and nobody left without at least a couple of non-so-illed-timed tears.</span></div>

And after that, we had our traditional leave during which we were showered with rose petals by them before we moved to the photo location to take our formal <a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/2016/01/our-gothic-victorian-wedding-portraits.html"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>newly weds portraits</b></span></a>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our party and dinner were celebrated in the second floor, this place used to be a ball room and it was not difficult at all to bring back the spirit by illuminating it with dozens of candles.

It was like being inside a nineteenth century film, even <i>The Gentle One</i> (who can be truly picky and critic when it comes to this stuff was amazed about the degree of detail and beauty the salon acquired after decorations were placed). We enjoyed a delicious dinner consisting of salmon, appetizers, champagne, beef and sweets after which we had also our wedding cake.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> The party lasted after midnight, and our first dance was <i>In this Shirt</i> by Irreprensibles, which is our song. By the end of the day, we felt exhausted but happier than ever. I must confess we were quite sceptic towards wedding clichés and all people say about that day being the happiest of your life. But after further consideration we had to admit there is a good dose of truth in such an assertion. The whole experience of celebrating life and love can be genuinely moving, specially when you are surrounded by people who have witnessed your path as a couple from the very beginning and have shown their support for a decade unreservedly. We will never get sick of saying thank you to all of them for their kindness.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As I mentioned on my <a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/2015/12/blogmas-day-9-my-wish-list.html"><span style="color: #674ea7;">Wishlist post</span></a> last month, I had been craving for the <i>Too Faced Chocolate Bar</i> palette for some time.</span></h4>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Since it caught my eye in December, I was thinking about purchasing, but the price restrained me from getting ahold of it immediately. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">However, Christmas holiday arrived, and <i>The Gentle One</i> can be really sharp when it comes to presents, so together with many other beautiful things, I finally got it! I gave it a first try on Christmas Day just to discover I liked it even more than I expected, and I thought it could be nice to share a little review with you. This is my honest opinion on <i>Too Faced Chocolate Bar</i>, I hope you enjoy it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Before starting, I should mention I am not particularly fond of the package.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I do like the idea of the chocolate bar shape, but the plastic material the company chose feels a bit cheap to touch. I think a different material would improve presentation glaringly, but it is just my personal opinion. However, as soon as you open the box, a delicious and delicate chocolate scent flows to you. Now, if you have been reading this blog for some time, I don´t need to repeat what a gluttonous creature I am, so probably you won´t be too amazed if I confess I spent a couple of seconds considering how much of the product I could eat before I needed to call the ambulance. <b>Just joking</b> (maybe...) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">But going back to the palette itself, its delicious fragance is supposed to be related with the fact every eyeshadow <u>main ingredient is cocoa</u>! It may sound a bit strange, but the composition feels a bit more natural than in <a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/2015/03/two-faced-palette-review.html"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>other of their brand products</b></span></a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><u><b>Immediate advantage</b></u> is the satin, soft, light composition making your skin to feel comfortable when you wear it. Also, I feel my eyelids softer when I remove makeup. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On the other hand, the most <u><b>negative</b></u> consequence of this lighter and more natural composition, is pigmentation: I need to apply more product in order to make the color strong enough. This is specially noticeably with light colours, specifically pink and cream tones. Nudes are a bit less subtle, to my satisfaction. </span></div>

Also, the different shades match good together, so they are very easy to combine for a more elaborate look.</span></div>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yesterday, we celebrated our four month wedding anniversary with awe.</span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was not a particularly special date, of course, but we are amazed how quickly time goes by. So, I decided this week was a good moment to share with you a few pictures from our big day professional photoshoot. They were taken after the ceremony, on the <b>20th of September</b>. As our scenario, we chose a recently restored Victorian house in Bucharest. The reason to select this particular manor house was we felt it perfectly fitted the Gothic and Victorian theme of the wedding.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After the photoshoot we were really happy with the results. The colours matched our garments creating the dramatic atmosphere we were aiming for: our own view of some Hollywood historical films, such as Coppola´s<i> Dracula </i>and <i>The Age of Innocence</i> by Scorsese.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Our main goal was to obtain personal pictures as well as avoiding the classic cheesy wedding pictures: everything related to white dresses, pink roses and beach sunrises gave us chills (no offense to the people who might actually like that, it is just not our cup of tea). We were very happy when the house owners told us we seemed to belong to the place.</span></div>

It has been around ten days of dump, wet, ugly days, with just one or two exceptions, which ruined any ocassion of taking interesting outfit photos (or even considering to wear anything else than cozy, comfy woolen clothes on the inside, and boring, practical, heavy clothes on the outside). As a result of the whole "Winter situation", I haven´t made anything exciting after Monday apart from teaching my students, and watching a good bunch of horror films.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: small;">Last September we visited Paris for a total of five days, although the last one was spent packing, making last minute souvenir shopping, and having a <u>terrible</u> lunch at the airport. Consequently, this post is the <b>last</b> of my documented Paris diaries. It contains a detailed relation of our adventures that day, including an early visit to the <i>French Pantheon</i>, another to Napoleon Bonaparte´s intimidating tomb, a very expensive tea and some obligatory goofing around the <i>Eiffel Tower </i>among other events. We had a lovely day, so I hope you enjoy by reading this post.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today was exhausting. I asked <i>The Gentle One</i> to complete this chronicle for me, but he declared himself to be out of the whole "travel journaling<i><i><b> </b></i></i>thing" by alleging it is all too boring and old-fashioned, as well as calling me names like "Dr. Livingstone". Nonetheless, I am quite sure it is a poor strategy to hide his epic walker super-powers have been seriously tested and threaten today, and he is far too tired to even try to write this. As he drinks his coffee here at the hotel room, he is casting mistrustful looks at me: he suspects I have unmasked him, but he´s not totally sure yet. I am still having time enough to finish this diary entry before he tries to poison my tea in a desperate attempt to protect his dark secret (or just before he passes out, who knows?)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyway, we woke up early again this morning (hurray!) and went back to </span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="st"><i>Île de la Cité </i>as quick as possible. On Thursday evening we didn´t make it to the national pantheon, so we wanted to go back today and take the chance to visit some of the old book posts by the river. We did so, and then moved to the giant building where most notable people in France are buried. Well, we thought we couldn´t get any more impressed by national architecture after a couple of days. And we were WRONG. Seriously, our conception of proportion was melted by the view of the pantheon structure. Literally, how big can you make a cupola before it collapses? We wandered around for about twenty minutes, mouths opened, and with our wits totally gone (is there a word concept for "<i>art zombies</i>"? Because it should). No words to properly describe it. When we finally recovered a bit, we descended to the crypts in order to visit Victor Hugo and Voltaire resting places. It was great to see how many historic figures were there as well, but we needed some extra time at the <i>Luxemburg Gardens</i> to recover.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

Well, I knew the guy was a megalomaniac before entering the place, but WOW. I mean, he had serious issues. Size issues. By watching his tomb you could think there is a giant inside. Plus, he planned the whole thing to make it impossible to look at the marble casket at floor level: you need to look at it from above (and then it looks like suspended in the medium of the dome by magic), or from below (in which case all you see is its huge dimension and the flood of natural light bathing the whole thing). Yes, a megalomaniac. And the whole conception creeped me out my a bit. I was more than happy to leave and get a nice lunch at a close restaurant.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Last night I was checking my blog archives when I suddenly realized there were two <a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/search/label/Paris"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Paris </b></span></a>posts left on my drafts file! For some reason (and most likely due to the big agitation my life was wrap on last Autumn) I totally forgot to hit the publish button at some point. So for today I thought it could be nice to share those with you, as I suppose nobody gets too annoyed about a travel review full of beautiful pictures. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">To sum up, the next chapter of my <a href="http://castitatislillium.blogspot.ro/search/label/Honeymoon"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>Paris diaries</b></span></a> was written during our third day in France, back in the end of<b> </b> September. We wouldn´t spend it in the city, but we traveled to Versailles instead. It was a memorable day for us both, as this had been one of our dream destinations for... well, FOREVER. We´re both truly interested on history since our high school days:<i> The Gentle One</i> is specifically fascinated about the <i>Golden Age</i> period all over Europe (this is his PHD topic, actually), so he craved for visiting the place where Louis XIV started the French empire. As for me, I am very fond of the French monarchy decadence and the country revolutionary process all through the XVIII and XIX centuries.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We´re such a couple of boring and pedant people, right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I know, sorry about that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Whatever, this is the little tale we wrote about our trip.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">That wasn´t completely a brilliant idea, as we rested very little last night and we ended up transfiguring ourselves in some sort of <b>zombie creatures</b>.

Anyway, we arrived to the little town before noon, but Saturday is such a busy day we had to wait on the admission line for around forty minutes. Finally, we <span style="font-size: small;">entered</span> in the palace and we started our exploration shortly.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A good part of our excitement was softened by the tourist crowd filling the place, but as they were little or no interested on painting, we took our time to appreciate the amazing seventeen century pictures while everybody blocked the history projection areas.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A bit afterwards, we visited the royal apartments. Everybody looked quite impressed about the queen´s room, but as we had already seen some of the original surviving furniture at the Paris history museum, we moved to the next level to see <i>Mes Madames</i> apartments.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And then, I pretty much found my favourite venue in the palace.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Next thing was moving out to visit the <i>Trianon</i>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">But we had to walk around the external walls because the gardens were engaged with a private event, so it took us a good half an hour to get there. At that point we were feeling exhausted, as well as quite sceptic about the place, but it happened to be the most exciting one, kind of isolated and relaxing. You could breath fresh air and the general feeling was you had traveled back in time. Plus, the queen dominion was full of cute farm animals pacing around the fairy tale style little houses. You could actually understand why the last queen chose the spot to forget about her royal duties. We paced around the <i>Trianon</i> itself, and took a look at the private theatre and the French pavillion, where Marie Antoinette used to organize her own private parties, concerts and dinners for her best friends, which was a great experience by itself. Later, we stopped to see dusk in the surrounding garden, and eventually left Versailles palace to take our train back to Paris. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">These twelve months were wonderful in terms of relationship goals for <i>The Gentle One</i> and I. We celebrated our 11th anniversary, took quite a lot of decisions regarding our future, and supported each other a lot. Also, we managed to survive the big day preparation without getting <b>too</b> mad about it, so we are in a moment in which we feel we can stand anything as long as we do it together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2015 was a splendid period for friends. I traveled a lot to Spain, so I had the chance to spend some extra time with my oldest pals. In addition, most of our long-term colleges honoured our friendship by coming all their way to Romania for our wedding. It was really pleasant to have them around and taking this unique opportunity to live adventures in Transylvania...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Our trip to Paris was other of the highlights this year. The Gentle One has had a difficult time by working on his thesis. He expects to obtain his PhD early in 2016, but that meant no much fun or spare time in 2015, so taking a break for our honeymoon was a real treat for a well done work to him. We enjoyed a lot by exploring the city (and Paris was meant to be his new favourite world capital), and I am quite sure we will visit again soon.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The aesthetic experimental chapter: </span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2015 was such a fun year concerning aesthetics. For about fifteen years I have been wearing classic and traditional goth looks, as most of my personal passions are related to the whole subculture. Nevertheless, this year I felt I needed a bit of fresh air and pushed myself out of my comfort zone, just to discovered I could have some extra fun by trying new things. Main consequence of this was the partial revelation</span><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">of a truth I was keeping deep in my heart: I do love vintage and anachronically inspired pieces, good fabrics, and most importantly, I discovered I do have a soft spot for gothic and classic lolita looks. This year I started adding some handmade to my wardrobe, but I suspect 2016 will be the moment to invest in real high finished brand dresses. Stay tuned, because I am sure there will be a lot of exciting things happening around here this year.</span></div>

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to Blogmas Day 21!</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you may have noticed, I miserably failed at keeping my blog posted daily from last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, life has been running fast and keeping me busy for the last bunch of days, and blog posting had to be a bit neglected as a consequence of it. Now you can sum it up to my epic blog fails list... But anyway, I thought I could try double hard until <i>Christmas Day</i> at least and keep you tuned with life, so today I am coming back to show you my last handmade piece as well as announcing <b>December give away winner </b>(which I also failed to reveal last Saturday, <b>oops, sorry about that!</b>). </div>

Well, it is good to say I managed to finish my Christmas dress at least. In this ocassion I kept things simple with patterning, as the fabric was pretty enough to make the dress nice. I mainly used tulle lace, and silk rayon. I must confess I am so in love with the fabric, I am considering to repeat this later entirely on black, and maybe royal blue or emerald green as well (because I am such a freak I like to have the same piece of clothing in different colours).</div>

Once I was done with the dress itself, it was quite easy to match it with some of my little wardrobe treasures. So in case you are curious, here you go the <b><i><b><u>Outfit rundown</u></b>: dress - handmade by me / blouse - Zara/ brooch: Brigitte Bijou / shoes - Marks & Spencer / headpiece and fan - custom made / bracelet - handmade by me.</i></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i> </i>And finally the Christmas Give away revealed: Congratulations to <u>Alejandra</u>!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Please, send me a mail as soon as possible, so I know where to send you your prize.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Once again, thank you all for participating!!! <i><br /></i></b></div>
