Shopping for clothes with mom.

Yesterday I went shopping for clothes with my mom in Haarlem. I can’t even remember the last time I’ve been to that city. What I was specifically looking for was pants, because I had to get rid of some as my butt had gotten too big (I know, right?) and bras.

Bras are really hard for me at the moment as my boobs are this weird in-between size (like A-minus) and the wrong ones can be quite uncomfortable or even hurt. They’re growing rapidly, though, which is awesome.

My mom was mostly looking for shoes and has been having a hard time finding good ones. She has even smaller feet than me which makes it very hard to shop for shoes. Most stores will not even carry our size.

We checked out a few shoe stores first and at like the third one I saw these really cool looking boots that I just had to try on. Once I got them on I was just amazed. Perfect fit. I had to buy them.

My mom wasn’t so lucky because every store we tried did not have the right shoes for her and the ones she did like were too wide around the ankle so there was no support.

We came across a Wonder Woman, which is actually where I get a lot of my clothes as they sell a lot of XS and often have sales. As soon as I entered I saw these awesome looking pants but they were 50 bucks. Not too bad but still a lot of money. We eventually decided to keep looking and if I couldn’t find any elsewhere I’d get those.

Not long after we wound up at the V&D, which is a department store consisting of about 5 or 6 floors, most of them selling clothes but also jewelry, DVDs and whatnot. This is where I hit the jackpot really.

To cut a long story short. In total I bough myself thee pairs of pants, a lacy pink and black bra & panty set, a cute fuchsia bra, sexy pantyhose, mid-high boots, a nightie, and a necklace.

My mom got a very nice looking jacket and also some jewelry but sadly, no shoes. Maybe next time.

Most of this stuff was already on sale and it also happened to be a special sale day meaning that almost everything you buy after 6pm gets another 20% discount. So we got a really good deal that day!

What’s that? My date? Oh, I’ll cover that next time, don’t worry!

Vlog #5 – Gothic & Fantasy Fair

We don’t celebrate Halloween in this country. Which makes me very sad :( Apart from a few clubs doing supposed Halloween-themed parties (which tend to suck) nothing is done here. No trick-or-treating, no decorated houses with gravestones and grim reapers, nothing. It sucks.

Luckily I did have something to do that day as it also happened to be the day of the Gothic and Fantasy Fair this year. It was two days actually, Saturday and Sunday, but I only went the Sunday as it isn’t very close and OMNIA would be performing on Sunday only so the choice was easy.

It was all indoors so I didn’t have to worry about bad weather or anything so I worse my cybergoth outfit. Which, I have to say, I look so much better in now than I did a few months ago. I was too damn skinny back then. Sadly, I have no pictures at all from me at the fair as it was pointless to try. It was really crowded, there were shittons of people there. Though some guy did walk up to me and wanted his picture taken with me. He put his arm around me and had (I think) his daughter take the picture. Who knows, it might wind up on the internet somewhere.

I had a lot of fun there, there were a ton of kewl stands, nice people, and of course, good music! :) I love OMNIA so I made sure to get there early. As soon as I heard them do their sound check I went out there. Still had like an hour to go but with OMNIA you have to be there early or you’re gonna be standing at the back.

Their concert was awesome but I expected no less. The instruments did suffer a bit from the heat indoors so some retuning had to be done in-between songs. At one point it was so bad that Jenny had to go backstage to tune her hurdy-gurdy cuz she couldn’t hear and told the rest of the band to just play something else until she was done. They actually started to play Tenacious D’s “Fuck Her Gently” for a bit until she got back.

The concert was long and they played a ton of my favorite songs. Old ones like “Etrezomp Ni Kelted” and new ones like “Toys in the Attic” and my current favorite song, “Wolf Song”. So pretty. <3

Of course there was a lot more to do there than just watch OMNIA play. There were a lot of kewl stands with awesome stuff. I was mainly looking at clothes and hoping to find something nice. I tried on corsets at two different stands. As I wear the smallest non-custom made size it can be quite hard to find a good one. at one stand I found one that was just looked awesome! The model and size were perfect, but… it was blue. I’m looking for pink, black, or a black/pink combo. I do have her email address so she can look if it happens to be available in either of those colors.

I was also looking a lot at boots as there were a few stands that sold Demonia boots. I currently own two pairs of boots by Demonia but I want more cuz they’re so awesome. <3

Cybergoth outfit #1

With this year’s Castlefest nearing and my boots finally arriving I decided to try ‘n fix up a good outfit to wear to the event.

This is my first attempt at a cybergoth look. I think it came out pretty well and that the alternating pink & black nails is a nice touch.

I wore the short boots in that last photo but I don’t intend to wear those with this outfit.

I feel the entire ensemble would look better if I dyed my hair black with pink streaks. I might still actually do this, not sure.

And no, I’m not bringing the guitar along. I just thought it looked nice. :)

New boots! :D

I ordered 2 pairs of Demonia boots from an internet store as I was unable to find a physical store that actually still sold these. The ones that did no longer carry them.

Well, today, they finally arrived. Just in time for Castlefest! Now I just have to learn to walk in ‘m. :p

Clash 430 Gothic Platform Boots (low) & Concord 108 Platform Gothic Boots (high). Lots of adjustable straps, which is good cuz I’m kinda thin.

Sunday Shopping Spree

The sunday before last when my dad was here, as he is every week, we decided to go eat at the Subway in Leiden for a change. We usually go to like the Plaza or something and wind up eating fast food; fried stuff. I’m really trying to cut that down to like a once a week thing, or less.

So anyway, I got the awesome parmesan oregano bread, full size, toasted, with cheese, chicken teriyaki and lettuce. No oils or sauces, I don’t really like any. It was really good. So good, in fact, that after I ate a whole one of those I got another half one shortly after. Oooh, and Mt. Dew too! :)

Afterward we strolled around the city for a while, not all stores were open but most of the major ones were. We went to the V&D first, as the kid wanted to look for some socks and Sha needed a sports bra for her then upcoming surgery, from which she has just been released from the hospital!

Then on another floor we looked at some (cheap) jewelry (from SIX) and I ‘snatched’ a few things I needed. I finally found a good bracelet; a gold chain with black strap embedded inside of it. Sha handed me another one later that was silvery white. I always have trouble looking for some as I have very small arms/wrists. :)

I also found black and red earrings; dangly ones that I think will go well with a few of my shirts. A purple Y shaped necklace, because I have a lot of purple shirts ‘n stuff, and also a purple flowery bracelet.

Boots!Now I’m still looking for a black or black/red necklace and bracelet, purple earrings and bracelet, a white necklace and earrings, and.. well.. I just like having lots of jewelry. :) Oh and I’m still looking for a small and thin gold watch. I’ve seen a few but I’m still looking.

Dad payed for my jewelry, for which I am ever so grateful, but the shopping spree wasn’t over yet.. We went into a shoe store where we all looked at high boots. I’ve been looking for some for a while now, I have thin legs but I like tight boots so it’s tough sometimes.

In the end all three of us found new boots and again dad was feeling really generous today and payed for all of them. That must’ve hurt his wallet a little. They are really awesome boots though! A perfect fit! :)
