Passing though the Elven Forests

At far away Lands

At distant times,

there were the elves.

They guide us throughout the eras

with their wisdom

and their magic.

Some of night some of day

but all

of great importance! ~
Hey magical ones, a few weeks ago we went at this beautiful location to film the elven transformation video and we also took some pictures because.. why not?
So here they are, all the elven related videos I have done so far in one place, plus a few pictures where you can see the outfit a bit better.

*all still pictures taken and edited by Michael Economides ( @erladith )

*the dress is also a DIY, although I haven't showed how I made it in a video because it would have to be a long video and I don't know if you guys would want to watch it. If you're interested let me know in a comment down below! 

in this last video you will find the elven cloak tutorial! enjoy!

 Recycling jars is my favourite thing about diying, there are countless tutorials online to choose from and I have tried a sufficient amount myself! For the above all I did was to take some paint specifically for glass and with a very fine brush drew lines to form little snowflakes. Filled it with white sand I bought from the craft store and placed a small candle inside. For the jar finish I wrapped some rusty looking twine and It doesn't even look like a jam jar anymore!

          

Under Construction

Hey Guys!!

As you can tell from the video, Fridays weren't working out for me anymore, so I decided to change the uploading day to Sunday!!

oh and by the way please let me know if you think this is a good idea or not. I really value your opinion very much.

Also additional changes are being made at the moment. We just painted the background wall white so it won't be too busy and tiring on the eye, cause your beautiful eyes are far too precious!!

-follow me on instagram to get updated on changes like this-

And the big thing, I got a super awesome new computer that's fast like the speed of sound ... and ... artificial lighting!!! yayyyyy!!! the lights haven't arrived yet but they'll be here shortly!! I can't tell  you what a huge relief this is. my laptop is about to explode, I can't keep using it for editing much longer and it'll be so so so convenient to be able to film anytime during the day, especially now that's getting dark much quicker. I'm so so so exited guys!!!

Currently I'm working on the first X'mas DIY video, can you guess what it is??

If you have any suggestions or any requests for what the second one should be please leave a comment in the comment seccion down below and I'd be more than happy to do that for you, if I can!

Love you to the moon and back!!!

Too cute baby girl's first shoes ( source: pinterest )
Statement necklace with ribbon roses in so many beautiful colors ( source: pinterest )
Ribbon Rose gradient rings - these I made myself but with a light weight fabric which I deep dyed to achive the hombre effect, the polka dots one I simbly used a dotting tool and some fabric paint!

Below:   Christmas Stocking made by yours truly a couple of years ago, here I decorated with some roses as well as some yo-yos and also some star flowers from a previous DIY video which it's link below.
on the right it's a box I made for a baby shower, used some styrofoam as the base.
Lastly it's the polka dot ring, I think it looks very girly, too girly for me so I gave it to my little cousin and she loved it!

4 Summer nail trends 1 look - DIY beauty

Just like everyone else surfing the World Wide Web, one day, a couple of years ago I came across a quite peculiar site called... Tumblr...
Ever since then it has become the place where I go when I need inspiration !

Lately I've been seeing bare nails with awesome geometric designs, evil eyes, the pyramids and native american designs... So all those inspired me to put all my favourite trends together in one nail look (ahhh I wonder if that's how you call it, nail look? is it right? ) .. I reallly liked the outcome and thought I'd made a video showing you how I achived it!

Let me know if you have been eyeing the same type of trends I have and also please send me a pic or let me know if you post one on any social media.

Hope you enjoy the video , Thanks for Reading & Watching!! <3

Anyway.. here are some pics of the newborn.. It's a BOY!!!

The Craft

Hey there magical ones!
Here's an outfit I put together and thought I'd share with the wizarding world.. The sweater is vintage from the 90's and the skirt is also vintage, the pairing reminded me of the movie ''The Craft'' which used to be one of my absolute favourites back then!

Most of the items are from the thrift store or a gift because in all honesty those are the places where treasures lie!

sweater: thrifted
velvet skirt: mom's
laventer spaghetti strap: zara
litas: ebay
tights: Marks&Spencer's
black ring: thrifted
skull ring: bersca
long necklace: thrifted

Thanks for Reading!!

The Return of the Sorcerer

The Return Of The Sorcerer

This week my boyfriend Mike and I felt like making a trailer type video.
I'm a noob when it comes to movie editing so leave me some feedback if you feel like it, of what I should have done differently.
The Cloak and the whole outfit is died so I'll be posting a tutorial of how I made everything sortly.

OOTD Have A Nice Day

This is a simple everyday outfit I felt like filming!

and since the sun was so bright and everything so lit, meant video lighting wouldn't get better than this! 

also I've been practicing a lot with the editting softwear ( adobe premier pro cc ) , don't know if you noticed but there's a new end card with links to other videos... so proud about that! :D

anyway, so this video was made mostly for editting and camera use practice purposes, kept it super sort so it wouldn't be boring.

If you feel like it leave me some feedback and if you noticed any improvment from my previous videos in editting please let me know! - spent a lot of time on the computer this week! Actually any criticism is wellcome! Feel free to leave my any kind of comment !

LOVE YOU ALL , THANK YOU FOR  DEDICATING A BIT OF YOUR TIME TO WATCH MY VIDEO!!
