For Jasmine

I'm writing this because i feel gulty.
Because i've cryed so much when I heard she died, and i cry everytime i see a pic of her.
She was Jasmine, 3 years od, felv+
She was with the association of volunteers I adopted my cats from.
I've read the association make a plea for her almost everyday....
Nobody wanted to adopt her....
Then she got a family, and i was so happy!
But after a few days they got her back because of some allergy...and all the hope i had for her to be finally happy crashed...
The plea start again...i was following her story, I did talk with my bf about adopting her too, but we already have 2 cats and they are healthy and we had not enough money to vaccinate both of them against felv, nor to feed 3 cats....
I had to agree with him about that.
But Jasmine was still there, luckly i knew the volunteers were all sweet and kind with her, but she was not living in an home, but like, just in a room.
I hugged my cats tight everytime i thought of her..her needing an hug and a cuddle and a kiss, like Ichi and Nichan always have.
Then she got a new family, with other cats.
A new home and new sisters and brothers for her, they were posting pics of her sitting on the chair, sleeping on the radiator.
I felt so better knowing she finally got her own family loving her.
But all of a sudden,about 1 months after, i did read she was dead....
I don't even know how, nor why...but she was gone forever.
I was in the car with my bf and i start to cry and cry, and i'm still crying.
She knew the love of a family in the end...but for so short..too short.

I'm so sorry, Jasmine...
I feel so bad I can't even ask you to forgive me.
But i won't forget you.
I chose my cats, even if I adopted them, i chose them to be still kitten, and healthy, and i hope for them to live forever and happy with me and bf.
But when the time will come, and i will be older, i want to get all the cats too old, or too ill..the cats novody else wants.
Because all cats are beautiful and all cats deserve to be loved.
All animals deserve to be loved.

Goodbye sweet Jasmine

A victorian treasure hunt

I woke up at 8.30 am on a cold saturday morning.
The train from Milan to Turin was at 11.18 am, and i still had to buy the ticket.
The meeting with the other girls was at the central train station.

Milan was very cold, still covered by a white veil of fresh snow, it snowed almost the whole friday.
I had to change the whole outfit i had planned, because moonboots were not okay under a victorian skirt that leaves the ankles out....i tried with a lolita skirt but was looking ugly.....so i just went casual lolita....if it can be called so...i really don't know...

When we arrived we found out Turin, was clean, sunny and there was no trace of snow...
I was dressed up like there was going to be a snowstorm cause meteo said so...but it was wrong...and i sweat the whole day.
I had to change my outfit..because of snow and there was no snow at all..
FFS.....

I felt so stupid.
So i will show you just few pics...where you can just see my coat.
Even my face was awful.

We had a envelope with the hints, they were numered so we had to start from the first to arrive to the last one.
In every team ( 4 of them) there was a person with whatsapp and a person who knows Turin.
The hint had to lead you to a place, like museums, or sculptures, the team had to take a pic of that place and send it to the coordinator, if it was right we were allowed to read the next hint.

We were going very good, but we went to the wrong place of the last hint. it was very far, so we lost lot of time and we arrived last eheheh.

but is okay it was jus for fun.

The prize was a bag of candies, and the winners gave some candies to everybody.

After the treasure hunt we all went to a tea room to get coffee, tea, beer, oranje juice and whatever.

LBC: Your favorite dress

As you should already know, I'm still working on my loltia base wardrobe.
I do a small order every month, but the delivery is looooooooong.
So, i really fell in love for this jsks and i wanted it for winter events (we should have a tea party at the beginning of next year)

I wanted it in this precise color, but it was out of stock (sigh) so i ordered it in brown.

Brown is okay too, i wanted a brow/cream/beige outfit, so i'm working on this, getting the thigh, hair accessory, and everything needed for this outfit....while waiting for the jsk.

I would love wear it and show you how it look on me but...i ordered it on november the 5th, and it has not even arrived yet to the shopping service :(

So...i feel a bit unlucky with this jsk.

Another dress/jsk i really wanna get is a classic/country, something with flowers, like this

 perfect for spring and summer, picnic and when my bf takes me to his family countryside.

Shopping to the handicraft expo

Every hear here in Milan there is a week dedicated to the handicraft and it get organized an exposition to the Rho Expo structure (very big).
there are pavilions for different side of the world and stands for different countries.
It is a great chance to find the Christmas gifts, unique items, clothes and food.
I just love it, and this is just my third time there.

here a short list of what i got for myself :)

English tea cup, my personal cup for tea and milk and caffelatte and whatever i want, it's mine mine mine!

A new hairband (yes! another! \^.^/ )

An elegant hat

Some cute socks and a pair of thights

Brownish-red velvet ribbon

Here last hairband i made, it is a bit different from the previous

This time i used velvet and so i could't just fix it with the glue, but i had to sew it with the sewing machine then slide the bare metal hairband inside the form i made.
Same for the bow i had to hand sew it to give it the shape and to fix it on the hairband.
The result is not perfect or professional but still nice ..i think :)

And the pic lies about the color, it is dark red

Formspring!

No idea how it works yet...
but here it is!

Larp! Vampires the Masquerade season 2012

Finally some pics of the last 2 vampires live!
This time a lolita friend of mine, started her character and joined the chronicle :D
We are already playng D&D together and she decided to try larping with me!

Nothing left to say, enjoy the pics ^^

I have such a silly face here lol

I'm in lolita, if somebody is wondering, but that is just a copy of a replica(so u can guess the quality) that i use to larp, i got it at a very cheap price i didn't know it was a replica until i saw the original.

I think you can see a clear lolita influence in our vampires outfit ^^

Lolita Blog Carnival: DIY gift ideas

What a great topic for this time of the year!
We are all in turmoil 'cause Christmas gifts!
Let's start to explain what DIY means, for those who has not english as first language as me ( i had to google it!)
Do
It
Yourself

We know many lolita girls loves to craft!
I've been lucky 'cause i was already crafting a gift for a friend of mine.

My idea is an hairband.
I got some plain metal hairband from etsy (it took quite long to arrive, next time i'm gonna buy in europe to get faster delivery).

I used water based glue, ribbons and lace (and some fantasy!)

I'm making some hairbands for me, one for a friend of mine and one for my bf nephew.

This is the one i made for me, is very simple especially 'cause was the first one i did try.

And this is the one i made for my friend.

The others are not ready yet, i'm very busy with the sewing lessons, the rpg, the live rpg and job and gym and...ohhhh....i need to sleep! ahahah

I also have been commissioned for another one, always as Christmas present, from a friend who saw the last one i made.
And i'm happy about that, 'cause that means they liked it :)

Please if you have any hint about this (or about my english) feel free to let me know, i'm always willing to learn!

There was fred Perry, Woolrich, Gant , and some others.
We had discounts from 30% to 50%.

Except for our bosses, all we could do was to look and laugh!

And an hello from some colleagues of mine! <3

Lolita Blog Carnival: 5 themed meetup ideas

Ohhh this week is an hard topic....
FIVE ideas...let's see....

1.
Crossover dressup
When we were at Lucca, some of us went to have dinner together as an official community event.
There, between a laugh and another, we spoke about the idea of a crossover dress up in lolita with a different trend.
For example:
Metal-Lolita
Emo-Lolita
HipHop-Lolita

LoL sorry i made this with paint in 1 minute

This would be hilarious.

2.
Cooking contest

Yeah a meeting where, who wants, can partecipate to a contest and cook a pie or cake or a sweet.
And in the end all those cakes can be eaten by the lolitas who will vote for the tasty one or the cutest one, and there could be a prize.

3.
Iceskate (or just skate)

Lot of fun and cuteness, and even if somebody is not good at skating (i grew up in a place with no ice and no snow so i can just "normal" kate) it's a good opportunity to learn!
And after skating a good hot chololate!

4.
Picnic forever!

I LOVE picnic, i would do a picnic everyday.....uhm....every weekend maybe.
As a theme for food i'd say an healty/natural one, so lot of seasonal food and fruits.
I don't care if is not original, i can't exclude a  picnic! <3

5.
Play your favorite book's character

The meeting could be based on a single book and everybody could re-interpet (sorry i don't know if this is the right word) a character of the book.
Or just everybody chose a character from a book and dress up like it in lolita style

My secret unveiled....and some news

Well....
Just ONE of my secrets *evil grin*!
This is me to the Gym

Few months ago

yesterday

The secret I usually hide under a skirt  ... thats doesnt sound good i know...but i'm just talking about my legs!

And especially about my hips.

As you can see my body is far from being perfect, but i would never say i am fat, or something like that, just to moan and play victim, i worked hard just to get here, but still my weak points are legs and hips

My legs will never be like the pic on the right, because my body is not like that, i must sruvive to this and is okay, but  i still want to lose some weight and get thinner hips, i sure can since i'm still overweight of a couple of kg, this mean i can lose from 2 to 5 without any risk.

I'm proud of my muscles, i had not at all since some months ago, but i starte gym in February 2012 and it shows!

Now, some updates:

As you can see on the right i added a calendar, because there are so many events incoming that i wanna track them, and even if i may try to hide you something just to post a surprise, you can spoil something there.

I'm seeing my local lolitas community and planning lot of things with them, it's going to be very fun!

Next week i'm starting some sewing lessons from a friend yay! We are going to make a velveteen lolita skirt, a cupcake petticoat and a victorian skirt, this will go ahead until April.

Still waiting the jsk i ordered from Surface Spell, sigh, i fear won't be here in time for Christmas.

Still waiting pics from last Vampire Larp! Hope to get them soon so i can make a post about it!

That's all for now....

CYA!

Christmas presents list

I'm not really into Christmas, i'm not going to decorate a christmas tree nor my home.
Last year i did a Christmas dinner on the 24 with my bf and some friends, and on 25 we were at my bf parents home.
But this year i will leave on the 22 to go to my parents home and i will be back on the 26, while my bf will stay here cause he couldn't get days off job :(
Here in Milan, the "family Christmas moment" is on the 25 morning, for lunch, while in Naples is on 24 evening for dinner, and on the 25 morning but in a shorter version (eheheh).
As I said i'm not into Christmas but i like the opportunity to spend some time with family (even if usually we argue about something) or friends.
This year i want to wear something special for the Christmas dinner, i don't know yet if we are going somewhere or having guestes at home, for sure there will be all my family, my mom, dad, brother, his wife and my tiny little cute nephew.
Now back to the point.
Even if i don't care about Christmas i have to buy some presents for people i love and who will probably buy me something ^^
My mom - done
My dad - done
My bro
My sis-in-law - done
My nephew
A new friend
His mom - done
His dad
His bro
His sister

and last but not least, my bf <3<3 i told him to do a wish list on etsy as i did and i will pick something from that list.

www.etsy.com

I bought something for my mom, dad, sis-in-law and my bf mom, on etsy.
From the same shop and so the seller sent me a present ! :D
I'm waiting it to arrive!

My etsy wish list :
Sidhe Christmas wish list
i'm not linking it to sudjest you to buy me a present! XD
But because maybe you can find some idea for your presents :)

A day in the life of SIDHE! Photo diary (it was for LBC)

Sorry for the delay!
I planned to do it Friday but i had nothing ready and i should have got pics on that day, but i was feeling so ill i really didn't had energy to do it.
And since my usual day are during the week, and weekend are just special days, i had to wait till monday to show you how my day is.
Maybe this is out of topic because is not so lolita...is just my life, my everyday!
Here we go.
I have 3 different shift to the office, most of the time i have to be there at 9am sometimes at 10am
So i wake up ar 7.40 or 8.40 am and say goodbye to my sweet warm bed and my bf who sometimes is still sleeping, cause he workes on shifts as well.

Most of the time i wake up with both of my cats sleeping next to me ..if not ON me, and i spend few minutes cuddling them.
I could actually wake up 15 minutes later but i need time to cuddle my cats becuase they follow me everywhere.

They usually sits on the washingmachine next to the washbasin and look at me while i wash and get ready, and they like the water flowing expecially the little one, and want to play with it.

When i get eyeline the big one always try to catch it, i can never ever get upset at them cause i love them to much so i laugh for what they do all the time.

When I'm finally ready (and is always too late), i put on my casual coat and clothes and I run to the train station that is just 5 mins waliking from home (and this is why we are looking for a new home always close to the train station, is sooooo nice to wake up late and get to job in time!)

2 or 3 days a week i use to go to the gym after job, as you can see from the pic i have a backpack and the bag so thats mean GYM DAY! <3

My office is in a skyscraper in the citycenter, and the suburban train stops is right under it!

first 8 floors are offices and from 9 to 27 are luxury apartment (even if i would never live in this area...too traffic and the skyscraper is ugly). Here lives some italian tv and sport vips, sometimes we meet them down in the hall or main entrance or at the garage, but i never recognize them because i don't watch tv and i'm not good at physiognomy, and anyway i don't really care about them.

When i get to my desk (i will do a special post about it cause i want some help from you all to cutify it), is time for breakfast, yeah i never do it at home, I never did, i wait till i get to the office. So i order an orangejuice, an empty brioche to the bar at the first floor and while i go get coffee with a spot of milk to the coffee machine in the office, the bar deliver my breakfast to my desk (omg i'm so spoiled i know!!! but i don't order it everyday just 2 or 3 times... XD )

For lunch usually i take food form home, that my lovely bf made for me, and then i catch some colleagues/friends to the restaurant for the coffee.

When the job is done is time for gym.

Usually the gym is on monday,wednesday and sometime friday.

On thuesday we have a gdr session, if we can't meet on thuesday then we do on Thursday.

At least one day a week(or more) i do absolutely nothing after job! XD
