It's getting seriously cold and I kind of love it, I love to completely buckle up and I love the days being short with the darkness setting in shortly after 4pm to go home surrounded by the tiny lights that light up the streets covered in a snowy blanket and to warm myself up with a cup of warm chocolate while wrapping up Christmas presents... hmmm maybe it's time for baking some cookies too :)

Gypsy

wearing; vintage dress, vintage belt, thrifted velvet jacket, forever21 vest

Channeling kind of a "Gypsy" look today.

I bought this dress about 5 years ago in a vintage store on avenue C in the East Village (New York) this store was just perfect, they had the most beautiful vintage and antique dresses, kimono's and just about everything beautiful and then the shop just kind of disappeared! I have no idea if it moved to another location or simply closed its doors.. such a shame because it was really one of my fav places to shop :(

and talking about shopping... it's black Friday today! the day that really kicks of the holiday season's shopping!

you know you want this

...... that's what I was thinking when I saw this bodkin velvet jumpsuit on Bona Drag (that and OMG!!)
I'm drooling over the burgundy velvet leggings (here in black), gold velvet skirt, velvet maxi dress and shenan velvet dress too!

Oh... and before you start to call me Elvira... I'm really into their (non velvet) lavender (or black) lace flare pants too! love love love. You can call this some Christmas wishful thinking :)

Sadistic Magician

Here is the last couple of tattoos I did here in Japan... for now anyway. Still have a few more to do but now a few days of vacation. The day before yesterday I got my last session on this trip from Shige and yesterday was Amalies turn. I bet there will be some pictures of both on her blog as soon as she has the time to post them. She did soooo well and we went out with Shige and his family for dinner after her session.
Today we went back to Yokohama. We met up with Toshi at Yokohama station. We went by Yellow Blaze to say hi to Shige again. Matt (the guy who I did a neck and a palm on) were having his 3rd session on his sleeve so he was having fun! We took his wife Sam with us for a bit of China town shopping and a trip to the Ramen Museum! This place was amazing so it deserves it's own post later with pictures.
Tomorrow is another amazing day in Japan and with no work. I might take my camera and have a little photogrphic adventure... I need that! I have a few ideas in mind and there is some places I need to go check out as well now that I finally have the time.
So see you soon.

It's really getting cold and supposely it's going to snow next week :)
The maxi skirts and dresses make layering and dressing up for the cold so much more fun! The only thing I'm missing for the upcoming snow are rain boots actually! (note to self; score some rainboots!)
