Hello lovelies,

back in August when I started this post I celebrated because I had almost caught up with the outfits. But just in a blink I was transported to November and of course now this is not something to be happy about. Once again, work and university robbed me of my time and energy, and I am only writing this post because I should write a paper for a class. Instead, I find writing for my blog much more satisfying.
So, September ootd...here we go again.



This was my outfit for the mini tea party. My post about it is here. 
Jsk: Haenuli
Peignoir: Vintage
Hair dress: self made. See here



And this was my outfit for the lolita teekränzchen. Somehow I forgot to wear hair accessory?
OP: Innocent world

 This is a super pretty dress from Lady Sloth with a Snidel Cape. The skirt part is so super soft and the print is so pretty.
I wore this outfit for a free museum day at Belvedere in Vienna. We got there just in time before the masses stormed it. M. and I even saw the kiss from Klimt and it was amazing.

 Just a quick outfit shot before I met my friends for some matcha.
The dress is from Liz lisa and much too short, I always wear it with an underskirt. This skirt is from Baby.
 This is not j-fashion at all but I think it looked nice and decided to include this into my list. I wore this for a work celebration and while I really like "traditional" costume, I definitely did not like the October fest atmosphere. Everyone was waving the Austrian flag and I felt like being at a right-winged party event.

All the best and have a good week,

Auris Lothol

Hello lovelies,

what is Halloween month without some spoopy pictures? Last year my sister and I made cute pictures but I couldn't edit them in time for Halloween. Therefore I have these pictures for this year. Hooray.
Actually I also wanted to do some pictures for this year but I just had too much work and university stuff to do. This is such a shame because I even wanted to sew another costume but no chance.

Last year I wore a Mary Magdalene dress in olive, a big black scarf and my hand made witch hat. The wand is also self made with a large chop stick and a butt load of hot glue.



Most of the pictures have a red tint, I guess I am having a kind of red phase.

Usually I don't like dresses in weird colours and let's be honest, olive green is a weird and definitely not my colour. But I got the dress from a friend and it looked really good on her. There is something about the form and lace that makes it, despite the colour, cute.






The big scarf is one of my favourite accessory for autumn. It is very warm and looks very elegant.

I played with photoshop for the next picture and gave myself my patronus. Pottermore said it was a dolphin and I think that is awesome because I love the ocean.

What do you think? What is your patronus?

All the best,

Auris Lothol

Hello lovelies,

I am quickly catching up to all of my posts due to the fact, that I started to post every week.
It is a bit exhausting and maybe I will tone it down a bit when university starts again.
August was stressful, we were knee-deep in the renovation of our flat and had already painted the walls when our new furniture arrived on the 2nd of August and everything was a mess. We had to live with our old and new furniture at the same time for a few weeks.

I tried to do pictures with the new furniture in the back but it didn't look nice at all. Therefore I am using my doors again as backdrop.



My outfit for the Teekränzchen. I only changed the shoes before going out because I didn't like how they looked in the pictures.

M. and I got an annual pass for the art history museum and we snapped some pictures.

 
I like this picture because this is how I imagine other people, non-lolitas, see us. Haha.

Here is a selfie from the Roman festival in Carnuntum. It was a bit weird, especially the shuttle-bus which did not commute after 4pm even though the festival ended at 6pm. In the end we had to jog to the train station to catch our train, and it was a very long walk. I don't think I'll go there next year.

All the best,

Hello lovelies,

the Austrian lolita group organized a small afternoon tea and shopping event, limited to 30P max. It took place on the 1st of September in Cafe Landtmann, a wonderful location in the heart of Vienna.
Mystic Alice was the official vendor but we also had items from Saki's forestglade jewelry and Violet Fane. I loved the bags from Mystic Alice but I had a tight budget for that event and in the end I only got a brooch.



M. was not at the event but he loves Violet Fane brooches so I bought him two. I think he already bought the rest of the series and he only missed these.

The brooches from Mystic alice were so cute, I just love historic portraits.

There were sandwiches and small sweet treats on every table and we all pigged out because the waiters always brought more. We also had one cold and one warm drink included. I got the watermelon lemonade and it was so good.





There was a folder again for the valentines card and I received so many sweet ones. I was really touched! Thank you so much.

My outfit got second place at the contest but there were three other girls as well who got second place. haha. My favourite outfit that day also got first place, it was well deserved.
I wore library lady from Haenuli with the self-made hair piece I made (see the post about it here). The print is so pretty, I was so lucky to get it at the last reservation round when Haenuli closed. It is so sad that she stopped doing Lolita clothes.



All the best,

Hello lovelies,

late as always I bring you the August Teekränzchen.
We went to one of my favourite coffee shops in Vienna called Dirt Water. It is a cafe and an NGO, that means that all of the profit goes to water projects in poor countries. The food is amazing, very fresh and local, and they also boycott nestle, which is a huge plus. I remember sitting there the first time with M. and we wondered if we should get coffee with condensed milk but didn't order it because most of the time the restaurants use nestle. A costumer at the next table asked for the wifi password and the waiter told him, it's "fuck nestle". Perfect.
The owner of the restaurant asked us beforehand if we liked cheesecake and strawberry cake because these were the cakes of the day. That was so kind, I am pretty sure that if we had a problem with it, that they'd changed the cakes for us.

Very brown cheesecake but super delicious

The service was a bit slow at times but they told us at the beginning and therefore it was no problem and we chatted away while waiting.

A few people had left already because we were a few more.

I wore a dress from a taobao brand called dream magical, before leaving I changed the shoes because I felt the white once looked nicer. The blouse is from Angelic Pretty and the hair bow is also from dream magical.


All the best,

Hello lovelies,


a few weeks ago M. and I visited the medieval festival in Eggenburg, a small and quaint town in lower Austria. The town hosts the biggest annual medieval festival in Austria and in my opinion, also the best.
M. and I took the train which brought us there in an hour. The weather was really bad and it rained occasionally.
I wore my new red front laced kirtle made out of linen underneath a sideless surcote with real fur and blue/gold fleur de lis fabric. It didn't take me a long time to make the kirtle but I think I have been doing the sideless surcote for more than a year. I am so happy I finally finished the dress in time for the big event.
The dress is fashioned after a painting of Marie of Brabant at her wedding with Philipp III of France.


The horned headdress and the style how it was worn is a combination of different portrait and busts.

Diebold Schilling, Spiezer Chronik / p. 112

Lusterweibchen Ulm

I never shared how I made the horned hennin, probably because they cost me about 5 years of my life. I remade them so many times, I have no idea how I managed to finish it. The horned hennin is made of green velvet, gold cord and real pearls. The inner layer is a stiff cotton and I filled the horn with wadding to make it stand on its own.




I didn't want to wear my expensive medieval shoes because of the rain and mud and wore modern boots instead. It didn't really make a difference because after a few minutes of walking in the rain, the hem of the dress and the shoes were soaking wet. Yuck.

This year we missed the knights tournament again and most of the other program points we wanted to go to because we found friends and just chatted away. And afterwards we pigged out at the shops and spent so much money.
I bought the items above from Sigurds - Riemer und Gürtler. Compared to other shops this one was super cheap. One turtle brooch was 5€, usually you pay about 20€ for one.

The items at the bottom where bought at Mehi Mercatus. They have a lot of items especially for reenactment and Lagerleben/Medieval camps. I bought a black knife from them two years ago, and this year I got a scissor at the HGM summer event.



As for the food part, at these kind of events I love to get the unhealthiest or fattiest or sweetest food. Sometimes also a combination of all three. This year M. and I had Blunzngröstl, a kind of black pudding with potatoes and onions, langos with extra garlic, turkish honey, caramel bites and caramelized almonds. And don't forget the huge Baumkuchen!

We left the event at 5pm, just as it was starting to rain again. I hope the weather will be better next year.

All the best,

Auris Lothol
