Victoria ★

In today's outfit at first I felt kind of like a superhero, the type of superhero that would have a handmade vintage shawl cape with fur trimmings (and change the fashion world one upcycled garment at the time?). But then I realized: this outfit was unconsciously inspired by fashion forward vampire Victoria (The Fascination). Out of all the movies of the franchise, Victoria has, in the first installment, the coolest sense of style. She wears this furry white cloak that is so chic and imposing and that never leaves her, weather she's chasing for a human to "eat" or crashing the high school prom. It's glamorous and wild, organic and raw. With the gorgeousness of her hair, it looks so fierce and strong, it really inspires me!
Adding the fur stole unto the shawl is a really gerat way of wearing it in winter. I put little hooks on the inside of the stole so that it can be attached to different things, like sweaters and coats. It's really easy and inexpensive and its sure to make extra versatile for cold months to come! It's awesome what a mini DIY can do to unleash the creativity!

Have a great day everyone!

  9. We had some shawls like that at home but I think they've disappeared into a box somewhere. Every time you wear that one I want to go on a rampage and find them!

  14. I wouldn't associate your romantic look with that of a vampire, but oh well- I"ve never been a fan of the latter, and never watched such a movie(apart from Twilight- just the 1st movie), so maybe there's something vampiric in you after all (it'd explain the gorgeous smile, you know :)
    have a great day!<3

  17. I guess I have a really romantic conception of vampires... and I'd be a vegetarian one!! It's just Victoria is so beautiful in the first Twilight :)
