London calling

Hey folks!

It's been a while, hasn't it? A lot has changed since my last post- I'm in Germany again, ready to start uni next Wednesday. Until then, I've got some time to indulge in major laziness a.k.a. drinking tea and reading. I've started reading "A Game of Thrones" recently and if anyone of you has other suggestions what to read, please share your thoughts with me!

However, this post is not about reading, unfortunately. It's about style or to be precise, some of my most recent outfits. Here we go!

 This was taken near my favourite place in York, namely St Mary's Abbey. I had wanted to wear those red leggins for quite a while already, but had never gotten around to doing it. Anyway, here's the rundown of what I'm wearing:

Hat: New Yorker

Blazer: New Look

Bow tie: ASOS

Shirt: Zara

Leggins: Warehouse

Boots: Blink

 The next outfit is already from London- it was our first evening there so I went for something casual yet fashionable. A few hours later, we stumbled into a small art gallery in Hyde Park, so my outfit choice proved to be quite fitting for the occasion. 

College jacket: Zara

Dress: New Look

Tights: H&M

Boots: Tamaris 

 This was one of my more elaborate outfits which I wore to the "Savage Beauty" exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Don't let my beige coat fool you- there's pure doom underneath it! I also tried a different make-up style for this which you can see better in the close-up photo below. The outfit rundown is here:

Rose headband: H&M
Coat: Max Mara Weekend

Shirt (not pictured): Civarize

Trousers: New Look

Boots: Tamaris

And here's a closer look at my make-up and hair from that day. We went to Camden after the exhibition and spent the day happily strolling around the markets, shopping and enjoying the sun.

See you soon!

KAMIJO 20th Anniversary Best @ The Garage, London

Hey folks!
Today I'm writing about something that has occurred recently, actually! It's only been a day since I went to see KAMIJO in London for his 20th anniversary tour and I'm still not fully over it. Seeing him again after such a long time made me fall in love all over again...
But now, on to the pictures:

This was my look for the live. I went for a more elegant princely look with overknee boots, black trousers, a white shirt and my lovely ASOS blazer. I also wore a rose headband but unfortunately you can't see it in the picture.
At around 9 am, I left my room to head towards the station. I quickly grabbed some snacks and water, then had breakfast and waited for my train while listening to Versailles, KAMIJO and Lareine in order to prepare for the night.

Excited Shou at the station! It was quite chilly in the morning so I was wearing my thick winter coat. At around 1 pm, I arrived in London King's Cross. I hurried out of the station to find my hotel, then quickly checked in and started to explore the city a bit more.

Near St Pancras Station. The building was so beautiful! I almost went inside the British Library but then I figured I needed more time to go there, so I ditched the idea and headed to the venue instead. The funny thing was, The Garage was located in Islington- the exact quarter of the city where the family in my former English book at school used to live. Oh, the nostalgia...
I quickly got my VIP number from the people waiting at the venue, then headed to a nearby supermarket to get some food and a bouquet of white flowers for KAMIJO. If I had known how well they would match his costume...
The waiting time passed quite quickly because I met some nice people in the queue- hello, fellow Northerners!- and we spent the time chatting away. At around 6 pm-ish we finally got inside for the meet & greet. I was so nervous but at the same time strangely calm... but when I finally stood in front of KAMIJO himself and handed him the flowers, I thought I would pass out any second. He was really polite and sweet, though!

The concert itself was absolutely amazing. KAMIJO did his best to put on a great show and to create a good atmosphere. The setlist was a good mix of old Lareine classics (Fuyu Tokyo, Bara wa utsukushiku chiru, etc.),  popular songs from Versailles (Masquerade, Ascendead Master and more) but also some of his solo material (Adagio of the Full Moon, Louis, Dying-Table, Death Parade and so on). I could sing along to almost every single song which made me really happy.
Concerning merch, there was a good selection of different things: I got a T-shirt, the armband & sticker set + pin. Way to go, just blew 60 GBP on merch! Well at least the money was spent on stuff I actually love...
After the live I quickly headed back to my hotel. On the way, I grabbed some 'dinner' (if you can call scones and chocolate bars actual dinner) and then shamelessly stuffed my face with it once I was in my room.

All the delicious stuff! I actually enjoyed the dark chocolate KitKat the most, it was just otherworldly good...
So then today at around 5:30 I headed to King's Cross station again to catch my train back to York.

I do approve of the architecture! Especially when there's nobody around to disturb you while you're snapping away..

Well, as you probably could've guessed, my day way wonderful! I'm happy to have come all the way down to London to see Kamijo, it was definitely worth all my time and money. I wish lots of fun to everyone else who is going to see him on this tour!
