My Lipstick Lasts Longer Than Your Kiss

Good day my sweethearts,

a woman, a mystery; a lady, your fantasy. Sometimes we look around and think that's it. And then we cross the horizon and the future gives us a shiver. Cold, cold, cold.
Is it this? Or is it yet not found? And what about the things that have been said but have yet not been done?

I just know one thing. Just like I look at you and have a burning desire you'll look at me and see the cold reality. Firm like a wall, cold the ice I will be hard to break. Because hurt and pain and held in this crystal.
I will let you look at me and feel like you will never have me. I will play my game with you and see what limits you will reach and cross. I will look away and make you feel like I don't care but once I might treat you like gold if you'll still be there.

Her Bright Skies' Rivals

Hej my sweet people,

it's time for all of us to see bright skies and what could help us better with that than a band called Her Bright Skies [HBS in the following]?

HBS is a band that finds its origin in the south-Swedish town Jönköping. The hardcore-rock band was founded in 2005 with the members Johan "Jaybee" Brolin (lead-vocals), Niclas "Nikki" Sjörstedt (guitar), Petter "Pete" Nilsson (guitar, vocals) and Joakim "Jolle" Karlsson (bass, guitar, vocals).

If you are in the mood to really let it rock or let out aggression, anger or other emotions "Rivals" is the only right and recommendable album with 11 songs that keep what they promise and cross over your expectations.
The songs, one better than the other, are not about screaming but hold deep lyrics and feelings which makes them enjoyable for everyone. What makes the album more likable is that that every song that is written and composed by the band members themselves has a different melody. Three bonus tracks in acoustic version make you sink emotional. 

Personally Her Bright Skies' music has been helping me a lot in a difficult period and has been always building me up. I wonder what impact they will leave on you.

Among these 14 songs however I tried to pick my tops which are the title song "Rivals", "Working Class Punx", "Lovekills" (which I would actually like to cover one day), "Bonnie & Clyde (The Revolution)", "I'll Be For You" and "Sweet Sweet Revenge". Almost half of the album, I know, it was really hard to choose. But find out yourselves and enjoy the soul and heart of four handsome gentlemen.

Check them out online and on Facebook.

I hope the gentlemen like their place next to the ladies of Vanilla Ninja - my favorite bands 

together.

Accessory Of The Month

Bonjour mes chers amis,

new week, new month, new accessory of the month. Isn't it wonderful? So many possibilies to leave the junk of yesterday behind and positively minded look into a new horizon with new motivation and power.

But within all the new some things never change, such as old habits and another accessory that keeps you warm and holds you tight. But other than the fur vest the accessory of this month isn't hugging your body but your head and is a commonly all-time favorite especially for everyone who wants to try or is already into the London style.

I am talking about the beanie. We all know it. We all have at least one in our closet and as children we all hated it and today we don't walk out of home without it anymore. We moreover don't want to separate from it anymore not even inside. The beanie has become an essential part of our look and makes our outwear more fashionable than it already is.
My preferred one is the black one with faux diamonds on it. And which is your statement beanie?

Beanie, scarf - H&M

Lipstick - Manhatten

Bag - Daniel Hechter

Coat - Romwe

Bodycon mini-skirt - New Look

Tights - Falke

Boots - GUESS?

Styling tip: The beanie is best combined with a kickass lipstick that underlines your look. My preferred color is the deep red.

And here I present you my most favorite beanie porters:

Rock On!

Good evening my dears,

"ugh... again metallic nails she has... (boring)"... Boring? No! I'm just rocking on, cool, hard, gleaming like metal. Or like the boss of the studio whispered in my ear when she saw the result: "you always have the best ideas for your nails."

I rock on because I can. I rock on because I can't let myself down. And I rock on because just like children are looking forward to candy on Halloween every year during autumn/winter I am looking forward to the metallic nails trend.

#Cosplay

Hello friends of the night,

after one year it has come back, Halloween is back in town. For some it means candies more than usual, for some others one of the hottest partiest in the year and then there are are some creative ones who are looking forward to the costumes, the disguise... or should I say... cosplays?

On Halloween many kind of costumes meet: Sexy costumes, scary ones of creatures of the night and even fictional characters become real.

Now our days when you look a little bit different or outstanding you quickly get recognized. Either it's something about you or your style. Sometimes they are admiring glances but mostly the glances remain skeptical. Therefore Halloween is the night in which our deepest selves awake without any criticizing glances.

The ones that might celebrate as hard as the children and their parents are possibly the cosplayers. The cosplay culture has its origin in the hybrid-culture Japan. Later it was taken on by the USA and meanwhile the hype of this culture hits central and eastern Europe.

What is packed into the word cosplay basically means that you dress like a fictional character. It can either be a character from a video game, a movie or series or even an original character which you invent to the story of a game, movie or cartoon.

Sounds interesting? Let me present you some of mine.

And a headless zombie-Ada for Halloween...

Have yourself a spooky and happy Halloween.

Sexy Like Wine

Bonsoir mes chers,

let me tell you at this point that you are the best person in your life. So please treat yourself according to that.

During a hurtful period, personally, nothing cheers me up more than putting myself into my favorite clothes and showing myself to the world as if it was mine. My main dresscode is sexy but thise who know me know that "sexy" for me isn't necessarily "less is more" but looking forward to unpack her with some little teasers  such as tights and bodycon skirts. The certain kick to complete the look would be high heels which will stretch your legs. Apart from that high heels always make you feel sexier naturally.

I want someone to look at me and desire me like a glass of wine. I want someone to get in touch with me. And I want to leave an impact on that person like a glass of wine. But other than the wine, I am going to stay.

Oversized sweater - Mango

Bodycon skirt & bracelet - New Look

Tights - Falke

Boots - GUESS?

Necklace - Douglas
