Halloween decor

)O(

A foretaste of Halloween

Halloween is my second favourite celebration after Christmas. I like to start setting the Samhain atmosphere round the beggining of fall/autumn with pumpkins candlejars, plastic skulls, insects, rats...witches and trolls figurines and so on...

I am wearing:

• A Bodyline dress
• A fleece thin polo-neck sweater bought at the mall
• Shoes I bought downtown, can't remember the name of the shop or the brand

Accessories: The cross chocker is from Claire's, the Monster High bracelets were bought in a yard sale.

Bad news and good news

So the bad news is I still have my femur broken (how surprising), but I'm getting an implant some time next month. In the meantime, I do not need a wheelchair (thank God, I hated it) but need to walk little and with two crutches. I have decided that I still want to take fashion shots, and not wallow into body hating like I did because of disability, all the more so as it's temporary (and even if it wasn't - have you see how pretty is ElleJay Volpe?)

Cardigan: surplus store

Skirt: second-hand

Leggings: ?

Shoes: Hello Kitty by Victoria Couture

OOTD and bad news

I thought the nightmare was over, my bones fixed. But as I have had a pain getting stronger and stronger to the right leg I finally had to had a x ray. And unfortunately, my femur broke again. I can only walk little and with two crutches, what a pain in the ***. My last hope is an implant.

Hippie-goth and a Princess card

I am not sure if Goth and Hippie styles are meant to merge, but I gave it a try. I am wearing:

A Phaze goth dress

A crocheted cardigan I bought on sale at the mall

Second-hand ethnic leggings

Second-hand (actually like-new) derby shoes

OOTD + another order

My mum fixed my Bodyline skirt yesterday and I couldn't wait to put it on!

I am wearing:

Jabot ornamented skirt: thrifted

Skirt: Bodyline

Boots: American river

I love this brooch found at a yard sale:

After the motorbike, my parents' colleague asked me to create a postcard about rugby. I hate this sport (actually I don't really like any sport at all) but I did manage to make something, well, not bad.

I added some zoom-in blur with a software for this one:

Autumn hues

Dress: second-hand

Cardigan: Birthday present

Shoes: second-hand

Since yesterday was the first day of fall/autumn, today I decided to set up the Halloween decor in the house. I know it's a bit early but I couldn't wait!

OOTD and yard sale haul

Yeah, the crutch is back because the surgery implants in my thigh are beginning to be hindering and painful and I need to see the surgeon to bring forward the operation to remove the orthopedic screw and plate.
