Friday Special: Iva Insane

I've seen that a lot the people who read my blog thinks that Sweden is a lovely country because it's accepted to have your own style, without other people says mean things about you.
Sorry to say it... but you're so wrong!

I don't think it's any country where you can be yourself on the street and don't meet people who's stare at you or give you lowered comments.
It's still wierd for them to not wanna "fit in" and be like other "normal" persons, and I'm afraid it will stay that way.

I've never become sad or angry about the (not so friendly) comments I get from people everyday. Why should they direct me how to look, when I don't care about their ugly jeans!? It's up to them what to wear as long I don't need to put those pants over my legs and little butt ;)
I was hoping that more girls and boys would see through my (and all other goths) make up and accept me as the person I am. I don't need to be a devil worshiper just because I wear black clothes all the time, right?

I'm living in the second biggest city in Sweden, but it makes nothing better.
Folks here can be really evil and yelling at me on the streets as well. Most of the time I ignore what they're saying, and just thinking "Haha, you never know when you need a haircut next time and book a appointment at my salon " *evil grin*
It's for your own good that you stay nice and friendly to me so not any "accident" will happen ;)

" I've got the same skills as Benjamin Barker ;)"

Next time someone debases you, try to say something back that they not expect (in a friendly way), and I'm sure they will be very surprised and keep their mouths shut.

I wanna see more friendly and happy goths out there! Cheer up EMO-kids ;)

Love/ Iva Insane

Adora here!

Thank's again pretty sister for your wonderful thoughts. And might I add; you look SO astonishing on this picture!

But I will have to disagree though. I mostly get sweet comments! So the people who writes in your blog and thinks Sweden is a lovely country to be alternative in have probably been told that by me! :)

Both kids and elderly ladies seems to have a flair for me :)

Sure, I've had my fair share of the "Is it Halloween already?", "Look at that witch" and other not so innovative sentences from those common people without imagination, but all in all I get many, many more compliments on my look in a positive way than the other way around.

Mostly kids and women, especially elderly women, seems to like my style and give me sweet smiles and telling me they light up when they see me and that they used to be a rebel (?) too in younger days. Haha, well, I can't really agree on being a rebel of any kind, I'm just born like this, but if it makes them happy to think I have an agenda with my look, let them think so :)

But I have to agree with my sister on one point. A bigger city is worse!

In my town with about 70 000 residents I don't cause that much commotion (well, not that I pay attention to anyway), but when I travel to bigger cities like Stockholm, Malmoe and Gothenburg people just walk into each other/lamp posts and straight into doors because they can't stop staring!!!

I'm not offended by the staring because I understand.

I am a rare thing to be seen, almost fictional looking, and I would probably stand and stare at myself with my mouth open if I ever saw me out in the streets. I tend to stare at alternatives, other beautiful people and extremly ugly people. And as long as I'm a starer myself I can't really complain.

BUT I've been a real bitch too.

Many years ago two teens were standing in front of me in a queue (we were the only ones) as one of the boys said, you know, bit too loud to make sure I heard it: "God dammit she's ugly."

Then I took a step forward, leaned over him and said:

"-You will look very ugly with my footprint on your face?"

I thought he might have pooped in his pants a bit because he and his friend immediately begged for forgiveness and said it was just kidding around.

I let them off with a warning!

I had a very wicked tongue as a teen too, so wicked that people only tryed once to be nasty, because I was soooo evil in my reply back I think I might have given them all hang ups for life ;)

It worked out fine! I just pointed out their "faults!; a curved nose, sleepy eyes, ugly teeth, big ears, fat ass (I have always been able to pull out the "fat-card" because I'm skinnier then most and to say something about a girls weight always hits hard),

I've done other stupid things too, but I'm not gonna say. In short I was no angel.

But then I changed and started to meet evil with a smile, so when someone out on town called me a witch I just walked up to them and asked them to repeat what they said and tells them it's very un-polite to say something like that about someone you don't know, and that it's better to try being nice.

They get very chocked when I'm answering nicely.

I'm better then them!

Sickness!

I'm having two kids down with fever :(
Fairlight and TeeBee is not on top today, and that is so sad because we had a Friday surprise planned for them, and on Saturday we'll go to a water park again.
I'm so hoping they will feel better tomorrow...
Me tired of all care taking, must sleep.

Adora BatBrat having party

I am so not the fastest person in the world, but this video is from October 2009.
Better late then never...

M'era Luna festival 2011 - Day 2, part 1

Got up, all feeling just as happy as usual.

Put on our game faces, and some kind of clothes.

We had no special outfit for Day 2, just to be mostly black to wash off that unfaithfulness of wearing white yesterday.

Is it party yet?

Wonderfully beautiful Hanna and her sweet mum Marion came for a visit.

Our favorite Italians. So cool looking and so friendly :)

Our favorite Swedes! Crazy but kind of cute :)

Day 2, part 2 will follow.

My Music Monday: Depeche Mode part II

Follow up from My Music Mondays: Depeche Mode.

I spend the whole summer listening to my Depeche Mode cassette.
My favorite song were (still is on the top list):

I can't believe how good this song is on my ears still.

I've wanted to wear make up since I was 7 I think, but the mother forbid it.

In the 6'th degree I actually wanted to wear make up so badly I painted on black lines on the outer side of the eyes with a felt pen when I got to school...

Well, for some reason I figured out the style of a "synthare" (that's what electro goths are called in Sweden), don't ask me how, but I understood that black was the thing that made me a real synthare.

I also bleached my hair, by this time cut like Annie Lennox.

By this time many people told me I looked a lot like her, and I can't say it hurted to hear :D

You might not know how I look with eyebrows, but this picture just underneath is very close to the original.

I so wish I had pictures to show you, but when I was a teen there were no digital cameras and taking pictures with a regular and develop them costed a fortune at the time. I do have pic's somewhere (paper copys) and if I ever find them I will make sure to share :)

Finally, when entering the 7'th Degree, I was allowed to wear make up, and I started off with just a little black on the water line the first day, and then I added some more every day untill I had white powder, blue rouge and black lips and black eyes. Now the me I've always been was born!

I had the fortune of growing up in the 80's when there were no limits, no shames, and being spectacular was hoorayed upon. Everyone was their own superstar with elaborate hairstyles and make up.

I immediately moved on to new friends in my parallel classes, all dressed in black and with the same music interests as me: Depeche Mode and Boy George (NOT electro music, but I LOOOOOVED him!!! He's my make up hero in my young years).

I've always knew I wasn't like everybody else, and now I felt like I found my klan. The one place where I was considered "normal". It was a wonderful time.

We formed a big girl group with 7-14 girls hanging out together, buying records, shopping for make up and black clothes, buying fabric and tried to alter and make our own outfits (that was only sold in Stockholm and Malmö at the time), and having dinner parties.

NO drinking and NO drugs (I've never tried drugs even!!! Unless my doctor prescribed me after some surgery), we were very proper and UCG-like :)

1988, I was 15, me and two of my best friends went to Gothenburg to see Depeche Mode play at their Music for the Masses tour. When they played:

we were in extacy! It was all so surreal! My first concert ever and it was a Depeche Mode concert in a full Scandinavium (the arena).

All the guests were looking so cool, and I fell in love with every boy with make up and high, black hair I saw.

Darn, this Depeche Mode love story will never end, since it's just a fantastic band...but I have to say I do NOT like their "newer" sound where they use live drums and guitarrs, that's just not what I signed up for....

Depeche Mode will always be my house Gods and have a HUGE impact on my life <3

I've been to every tour they've had in Sweden ever since, all super, except the last one.

It was awful and I felt very sad after since it was so much "rock" and not so much synth.

All my friends I have is because of Depeche Mode as well as my husband, so you see, I have DM to thank for a lot!

Here's another favorite:

I could ramble on for ever about the impact Depeche Mode had on my life, but I think you've got the general idea.

London memories

It's almost been a year since me and pretty sister Iva Insane were in London spooking it up.
And we are going back for more so the memories are piling up...
Here's some shoots from the club night at Torture Garden:

I really liked this look, although it feels so wierd with these "normal" brows.
I look like a Neanderthal, but slightly cuter and less hairy.

The finished product:

(we are being sponsored by Naucler Design's latex)

In the studio: Black Religion

In the car over. Fairlight and Synthia are hilarious!

Been to the studio at my friends house to sing in a new version of Black Religion.

I'm supposed to sing it together with my sister, but since she couldn't this time, I did the whole shebang and she'll just do her parts later.

Man - I sing badly! I have the strangest voice, or as my darling husband says: "You don't have a nice voice, but it's kind of cool."
I can live with that...
My sister on the other hand has got a very nice and soft voice.

Inbetween verses I made a "Today's outfit" shoot.

I got asked how come my pictures can't be magnified anymore - and I must say it baffles me as well.
I have no idea what changed? I must have done something wrong. Ideas, anyone?

Nature Goth

Today in pictures:

My ordinary Saturday routine is to wash and re-color my hair (I add a bit of Directions semi color to my conditioner) and then I cut the bangs.

Sweden had the most beautiful fall in store for us today, so we gathered the little ones and prepared to do a "Hanzel und Gretyl", but without the evil ending ;) We acctually love our kids <3

We packed some cookies and drinks in my 50's inspired picnic basket and headed for the forest.



I had a blast today! It was so much fun playing about and the weather made it feel like a fairytale.

We found the same place as we visited this spring to have our cookie break on and stuffed us with freshly baked cupcakes. Super nice <3 Pure pleasure.

We struck gold as well, and found a place with lots of blueberries so we plucked enough to make some blueberry cupcake tomorrow.

Friday Special: Iva Insane

Hello again sweethearts!

Today I'm gonna continue to educate you how to treat your hair the right way.
I hope this advices will make you look more beautiful, and let me see less people with unsuccessful haircolors on the streets ;)

Bleaching

I've got a lot of questions how do I keep my hair in good condition, while bleaching it.
Read this blogpost and you will find out what's the underwork for having a beautiful and "healthy" hair (as healthy as you can get your hair when you bleaches it)

My natural haircolor is copperblond/strawberryblonde, so my natural haircolor is quite light but has a LOT of red pigments in :(
Remember that it's much harder to bleach a hair that have been coloured by artificial pigments from haircolor, than bleaching a natural hair.

I only bleach my roots everytime I start to see that ugly, copperblond, little line at my scalp. I use professional products, so I'm sorry that I can't give you any advice what kind of bleach you shall buy at the store.
I mix the bleaching-powder with the activator who has a strenght of "7 vol" or in Swedish terms "2 %"
Sometimes I add a bit of 20 vol/ 6% activator to my mix (Lower number= more healty to your hair, but the bleach need to stay in a little bit longer to get a nice result)
I'm very particular to not "overlap" the bleaching-product at the hair that already have been bleached before.
If you do that, your hair will sooner or later just be a memory laying on the floor.

When you've applyed all the bleach at the roots it's time to let it stays in for a while.
It's very different from haircolor to haircolor how long the bleaching-product must be in, and there's not any given time when it's time for you to rinse out the bleach.
Take your fingers and scratch away some of the lightning-product to see if your hair is white or
yellow as a chicken. If it's still yellow....let it be in for some more minutes. (I don't want to see yellow
chickens running around in town, ok?!)

The Swedish artist Robyn has a lovely blond color. Come on, go whiteblond don't be a chicken ;)

After you've rinsed out all bleach, make sure you treat your hair with good products (bought from a hairdresser-salon!)

You can use a toner to get more white/gray impression to your hair ect.
For me it use to be enough to just use the silver shampoo and silver treatment from Lakmé.

Using semipermanent haircolor

If you like to have a nice, extreme hair color there's a lot of brands that makes semipermanent hair colors.
I've used directions and Stargazer, but I prefer Directions as I think the package is a lot better!
You can mix all the colors together, and you can add conditioner or treatment to the color to get i lighter.
My blue hair has a really simple reciepe- a few teaspoons of Directions turquoise and then a looooot of conditioner.
I think that the haircolor turned out better, after washing my hair once, and got that "lightblue/turquise" color.

If you like to get rid of the semipermanent-haircolor you have coloured your hair with, my tips for you would be to shampoo your hair many,many times (I know that some people thinks that dandruff-shampoo is more effective when you want to wash out the color) If it feels like you still have a lot of unwanted color left in your hair, you can try to make a mix between lukewarm water, shampoo and some bleaching powder to wash your hair with.

If you already have a very damaged hair or you're not 100% sure how to bleach it. Please, go to a good hairdresser who can help you with it! *pointing at myself and force everyone to get tickets to Sweden to be treated by the best hairdresser ever!* ;)

If you curious about what I'm doing the rest of the week. Visit my blog http://www.ivainsane.wordpress.com/
***************************************************
Hi, Adora here!
Thank you, sweet little sister for this enlightening entry. Much appriciated as usual :)

At my (still not 100% working) web site I have a list of how to mix all the haircolors I've had and there used to be pictures attached. The pictures will be put up again, I'm just falling behind.

I have brown hair originally.
When I bleach, I bleach the "common people" way; I buy Swedens most bought home bleaching : Jane Hellen: Ultra Blonde that lightens 6 nuances. I've used the same since 1984.

My natural hair color seen at the top (I don't color when pregnant).

At this picture I have kind of a more natural blond.

Here's my bleaching procedure:

(I'm working on this right now...)

Question time: My name?

Question:
Nicole Bogaard asked at Facebook:

Hey Adora! How are you? I have a question...how did you come up with the name Adora Batbrat? -xXx-

My very first video. Presenting the Adora BatBrat to the world.
Pink hair is supercute!

Answer:
I already had the name BatBrat registered for my company since many years, and that name just emerged in a dream!
I woke up shouting -I will call my company BatBrat!
My husband was all like; What?! Who?!

Many years later I already had a "famous" swedish name "Slynan" (a version of Bitch) but that didn't work well internationally, so I had to make a new one.
Having BatBrat in the name was acctually not what I planned for.

I wanted a name that started with the same letter I have in my natural name; "A".
I also wanted a name that could be recogniced as goth, so when I figured Adora out I needed something cool, and I already loved the name BatBrat so, what the hell, I re-used it! And Adora BatBrat was born.
Personally I love it <3 It feels very "me".
 
And I might just throw in the answer to my birth name as a bonus:
My birth name is Harriet Ann-Sophie Wimmerstedt.
I didn't take my husbands last name when we married, and I forbid him to change to mine just because I reason I fell in love with Ronny Gärdh and not Ronny Wimmerstedt.
Romantic, right :)

Aww, honey!

My husband must be the cutest!
This Saturday we were in a shop and I looked a bit extra at a quilt that would fit perfectly in Fairlight's room, from Au Maison, so it was a bit pricy (at least in Sweden they are). I really wanted it, but since I'm mostly an IKEA girl I thought this was way over budget. I'm so cheap!

But can you believe! He acted very non-man and acctually picked up om my long glance  at that quilt and the first day the store opened he went in an bought it for me (well, Fairlight's room).
You know stuff like this makes girls all bubbly and happy and "thankful" ;)

So, for you it might look ridiculous, like an old woman quilt, but I have to defend myself by saying it's very "it" in Sweden right now - and we all know I'm the typical it-girl next door *tihii tihiii*
It will look perfect on Fairlight's jumping spring mattress.
Yeah, that's a stereotype UCG; buying overpriced, trendy quilts for the kids to jump on.

A very romantic gesture from my love <3 One might say I have trained him well, or he just want's to do anything to make his princess happier. Either way works with me.

I'M GOING TO LONDON!!!

Everything is booked, checked and sealed in a black bodybag and put in a safety vault under my coffin.
The two Wimmerstedt sisters will swoop in on London like two vodkas on ale and packed with panic chips in every pocket possible! (the truth is we'll only eat fruit and drink water (me) and coffee (sister)).

And - OH, OHHH!!! I just remembered - we can eat NERO's Black and White Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake again!!!! We are totally hooked on those. It was the last thing we bought in London before going home last year. I can't wait!!!

London October 2010

I'm cute

I have the funniest friends ever!
One male friend, Mr N, once said to me:
"I don't wanna say you are stupid, you just have bad luck when you are thinking."
Hahahaa!!! I just love things like this! And it's SO true ;)

One other fun thing is people often tells me I look so darn good on pictures.
I ususally respond; "Yeah, I'm very photogenic, but I'd rather look good live instead of on pictures ;)"
But it's only half true because I either look shamefully beautiful or crazy ugly on pictures, no inbetween.

And in order to show off I'll put up one of the X-tra-x modelling shots that I find very pretty.

My Music Mondays: Depeche Mode

Every summer I packed my bags and moved out to grandma Birgit and grandpa Harry's summer place where I lived the whole summer.
I had my very own set of summer friends and I was always happy to see them.
This might seem so far away from who I am today, but as a kid and pre-teens, I loved to be out in the nature by my self or go fishing fresh bass for breakfast at 04.00 AM with grandpa.

One day I was hanging out with my funny friend "Ulle", it was the summer break between 6'th Degree and 7'th Degree, I was 11, and as we sat in her room taking about far out stuff she put a cassette on.
Immediately I lost track of everything and felt like I was having an outer body experience and I amost got light headed.

"-What's this? WHAT'S THIS, ULLE!!!
-It's some tape I got from a guy I'm in love with.
- But, what is this pure and strange sound?
-They are called Depeche Mode.
Depeche Mode, I mumbled to myself."
That second my life changed forever.
I've found home.


I went back and got a cassette and we sat down in her bed as she copied the two sides with the records: Some Great Reward and Construction Time Again from my new House Gods; Depeche Mode.
I listened to my cassette every day. By this time I knew nothing about the subculture followed with this clean sound, I just tripped and fall by the music.

Still to this day nothing makes me feel better then really good electro music (love excluded).
I have Ulle to thank for finding this life. Thank's, Ulle!
Depeche Mode had such a great impact of my life so it will be next My Music Mondays as well

Where's my poison?!

I've been so sad lately :(
I'm caught in a Catch 22.
I'm so sad I want to drink poison, and the reason for me being sad is I lost my Poison Necklace... see the complication?
But yesterday was a wondeful day when I all of a sudden found my lovely necklace (halsband, for those who wanna learn Swedish)!! It had moved in with one of my rosarys!

Picture borrowed from BB Catsy's Allison. Price for this lovely thing: $10.00

I was so happy, the birds were singing and a rainbow appeared outside my window (or perhaps in my deranged mind) and I was just about to put this lovely thing on when goth depression struck!
The poison had dried, and left was just an empty poison bottle. Buuu-ahhhh-haa-huuuhhh, me so saaaaad...
Me so saaad I want to drink poison, but what the hell? There is no poison for me to drínk.
God hates me.

M'era Luna festival 2011 - Day 1, video

I sometimes moonlight as a guardian angel, and this is my try out video we had to send in to God to be judged for the last job. I did get it, He was very pleased by my pirouette and the surprised face I pulled at the end.

UCG - what's that?

I have (too) gotten the question about what the F is UCG?
It started with some girl being a bit mad at my überpretty sister Iva Insane and then wrote: "She thinks she’s so much better than everybody else. F**king Upper class goth".

 I can never say no to a good laugh so we had a blast about us being UCG's and joked a lot about us being like the goth version of the Hilton sisters!
We have this as our standing joke now, saying we use Gucci stockings as "German stockings" (my own word for ripped stockings) and such :)

I'm not really up to date on the brawl between this girl and my sis, but I have never noticed my sister being stuck up. To me she is very humble and have a sweet persona, unlike me, who is the cold hearted bitch from hell and only thinks about me, me and me.
I think UCG was a compliment :)

Friday Special: Iva Insane

A week has already passed and today it's time for "Friday with Iva Insane" again!

I'd like to thank everybody for the great response and cute comments from last week blogpost, and I hope you will appreciate the following post as well.

This week I'm gonna tell you what types of hair products every goth-boy or girl must have in their bathroom cabinet. Because I know how much you people color, bleach, put in extensions, back-comb and torture your poor hair.

Okay, let's start!
First of all it's very important to use right kind of products for YOUR hair.
Do you have a damaged hair?
Thick and unruly?
Thin and weak?
And ask yourself "What kind of results do you want with the products you're using?"

Shampoo, conditioner and treatment

For me, it's important to use caring products that rebuilds and moisturize my hair, because I bleach it.
I always shampoo my hair at least two times to wash away the naturally grease from the scalp and the remaining styling products I've used.
Remember that you only need to use shampoo by your scalp (If you haven't used a LOT of products of course) The hairlengths will be washed while you rinse the shampoo out.

When it feels like your hair is clean (and you've got plenty of foam) it's time to start with the caring products.
Squeeze out as much water you can before using the treatment.
Start to apply the product in the lengths and pull your fingers through your hair to get the caring products in the whole hair. (Notice that you shall NOT put the treatment directly to your scalp! Then it will look like you haven't washed your hair in months ^^ )

Let the treatment be in as many minutes as the description says, and then rinse your hair ( Most of them don't need to be in more than 3 minutes).

Squeeze your hair, and pull out as much water you can once again before using your conditioner in the hairlenghts (Notice - hairlenghts) and rinse once again. If you have a very extreme, semipermanent color in your hair you can add some of the color to your conditioner and your hair color will not turn out in a sissy, washed-out way.

When your hair is clean and towel-dry it's time to use the styling products.
I use to start by apply some moroccanoil in my hairlenghts.
If I will use the blow-dryer I also add some heat-protection (It can be in spray or creme-form ect.)
If you'd like some volume to your hair, you can apply the volumizing products when you have blow-dried the hair for a while to get the best effect.

I'm a fan of the 80's crimped hair! After I've crimped all my long hair I use "Dust it" from schwarzkopf proffessional.( you can find it at your hairdresser for about 16 euro) massage the product to the roots of your hair, before you start to back-comb it.

I'll promise you to get a hair that stays in shape for at least one week if you follow my suggestions and being strictly with the back-combing! Finish your hairstyle with some hairspray- Voila!

The products I'm using:
Dust it - from schwarzkopf professional
Ritual salvation - from EVO
Silver shampoo & silver treatment from Lakmé
moroccanoil
GHD heat-protection
Helmut hairspray from EVO
Blond me shampoo, conditioner and treatment with cool tones from Schwarzkopf professional.

Hi, Adora here.

I'm sure this post is highly appreciated by all (as by me).

Remember; my sister is not only beautiful, she is a professional hairdresser and owns her own hair salon, one of the top 3 in Gothenburg (so she's VERY good!)! You can most definite trust her judgement.

I myself wash my hair once every week, and as Iva says I schampo twice (Schwartzkopf), and always adds a bit of my Directions Hair color to the conditioner to maintain the color. I let it set for only 5-10 minutes. Rinse and style as you whish. This is also the way I mix my pastel colors I've had before (soft pink, light purple, babay blue etc.) but I then have it in for 15 minutes. The result:

Todays make up

Waking up.
WHI-HOOOOO!!! It's FRIDAY :D
Nothing makes me as happy as Fridays *I might lie a bit here, but it's all in good spirit*

The Friday look:

 Went with a fine knitted top with a square hole, some shorts to show off the new ass I got from stair running, and my wonderful heart stockings that makes me so bubbly and cuddly.
Hair is just some panic hair and is not styled at all.. I often put more time on the make up and less with hair. I think my next 30 Days Challenge should be different hairstyles! I used to be very good with that before going lazy...Lazy is not good! Not acceptable!

First - I'm VERY exited about the new feature "Friday with Iva Insane", then I'm exited because I can bring out my Friday glass and last, but not least I'm going to bake with the kids and get to wear my new heart apron (it still disturbs me I made it too long...but I'll make it work).

I'm keeping up with my 30 Days Challenge even if I'm teased by my kids EVERY single day...
-Haha, you can't go with us in the elevator, you have to run as fast as you can in the stairs because you're in a competition, and we wins every time.
I run like a crazy person, but I can never beat the elevator, and they won't let me get a head start.
One time I actually beat the elevator but that day I run too fast, one stair too much, so I still failed them to the door.
At school there are 4 more stairs and often there are slow parents and kids ahead of me running, so I wait a bit then I run the parts possible, with my kids cheering and telling everyone I'm in a competition..
And it is more fun running in stairs then using my training bike for 5-10 minutes a day.
In my head I'm playing Rocky themesong whenever on the stairs.

I've acctually did the whole running and fake boxing rutine when reaching the top of a big (well, more wide then high) stair in the middle of the city as I sang the themesong.
The people around me just smiled and secretly called the men in white coats.

Todays make up

Today I missed the alarm and didn't get up until my husband got up. Panic!!!
Had to quick fix the make up. So, it was a bit more "normal" than usual, and that's a shame since it was a parental meeting this evening.
Now everyone think I'm like normal (the green hair and the fangs didn't give me away, oh no).
I will still rule, and be a class mum and force the little kittens to do crafting. Mo-ha-ha-haaaaa!

The quick fix make up. I added a lot of glitter under the eye to be more sparkly and feel less ordinary.

For the meeting I had on a (black) puff sleeved dress with my Sonia Rykiel bow attached under my chin, lace stockings, a wide PU belt and a new pair of shoes. No picture unfortunately :( I forgot
