Recently I ordered from Black Craft Cult, what I had planned to do for quite a while already. I ordered 7 shirts from both male and female section and that was still only around half the shirts I actually want to have from them.
With this order, I had to learn I'm not quite the fan of USPS, they need a load of time what I'm not really used to since Europe's postal services are always quite fast. Anyways, my stuff arrived save and sound and I was really happy about it. The whole collection of shirts looked like this.
I ordered them pretty nicely for just this one picture I took for a friend who also ordered from there, motivated by me. After getting these shirts, I used the time to wear the different shirts nearly daily, one after another. If just I were this victorious with girls...
Anyways, here are different outfits I wore all the different days after the school trip to Krakow. They're mostly rather casual since I wore them for school and for school I never do anything great, if I get up already in time it's enough of a win from my side.
First of, my wonderful Wolf Star shirt. I like wolfs a hell, they're free spirited and wild, untamed, and since a pentagram in my opinion is still sign of the five elements, I liked the comby quite a lot. Also makes a nice highlight with always black fashion.
Create Your Own Future in the Tarot Edition. The moon fascinates me so this design was a must-have for me. I like Tarot card designs in general so big plus for making it a shirt.
Sinners are Winners shirt I like a lot. Although the quote has a negative touch with it, it fits my rule to live life without regrets because each life you live is a chance itself so don't waste anything and use what you got, enjoying everything as it is and accepting thins the way they happen. So, even if you need to sin, what pretty much is just Christian idiocy, enjoy it and don't regret it afterwards since you made this choice yourself to begin with.
Death Card Women's Tee. It was one of the two shirts I got that were actually cut for women. It fits nicely, even for my curvy body shape. I'm a huge fan of all their Tarot card designs, pretty much because I like the whole concept of Tarot. It's one of the few esoteric things I believe in.
Witches Do It Better top, also in the woman tee design (it also was the only one for that). I'm fascinated by witches and I think a witch is not just someone handling magic, everyone can be a witch if they know how to make their life a magical time. Was in a rather simply combination but so damn cozy.
For the last two shirts I didn't take pictures and I'm sorry for that, I'll surely wear them often enough (since I mostly wear only black anyways).
In general I have to say their shirts are incredible! The fabric is super soft and nice to wear, the colors have no weird feeling and yet didn't fade out because with poorly done clothes it might happen pretty soon sometimes. Honestly spoken, I'm in love with their shirts and I can't await to get my hands onto new ones but for now I have to concentrate onto other things I need, unfortunately. Many things are coming up and I have to shop for them.
Besides that, I can only ever recommend this brand after having gotten these pieces. Their service is great, the things will arrive rather quick and it's not expensive at all, for their nice designs and the great quality. So if you find something in their shop, just go for it and buy their stuff, it's really worth it!

Wigs - Part 2
This is about my three older wigs. They're not the best quality so I don't like to wear them that much, with them wasn't much of a fan of wigs either but as student you can hardly afford to buy many wigs. Even now I rather spend my money on make-up and clothes instead of wigs.
The first of the upcoming three is the one I like most out of those few. It was a present by my former Girlfriend during a con. Fun fact is that I expected it to be half the price it was but turned out a friend told me the wrong booth. Anyways, it was the pretty famous Rhapsody style that was in trend back then and partly still is. I only cut it more layers so it'd be more fluffy but nevertheless I can't wear it without a hat, like I had to learn, since the strands are so light it makes the wig be pretty see-through. But it's nice for Cult Party Kei, like I wore it around one year ago.
One picture was taken by a friend and the other one by Gelo Photography. It was from February last year for my first try with CPK. Actually, looking at the pictures brings back nice memories. It was soon after a school trip to Rome and one of my very first times to try out one of my favorite brands, Kiko. I really liked the outfit, probably I should redo something like that...
The layers are lightly visible on that one, it was my first wig to be cut but I still really like it. A more recent way to wear it was this one, I had it for the Long Night of Museums, an annual event in Vienna were museums are opened nearly the whole night and one needs only a single ticket for all of them. An event I really appreciate a lot!
My second wig is a pretty funny one because it was from when I ordered three wigs from ebay - two of them were fused to one. I cut out the single parts, sealed them with nail glue and then attached them to the whole week. It was tiresome and the sewing was rough, it isn't always easy to get the needle through the layers so I had to use my teeth for that even, causing a little notch to appear.
Anyways, working on that back then looked pretty much like that.
Afterwards I wore it only occasionally, I cut it the wrong way so it's uneven but the color is pretty nice so I don't want to give it away. It's a deep brown with a sometimes red-ish shine.
Please ignore that my makeup was done poorly, although I got surprisingly many compliments for it...
But the color comes through nicely, the weird cut being luckily hidden by the hat.
The last one is also a brown one, curly and I sewed in pink strands I had left over from my first and now somewhere wig. I did over many times and even were working on it the last weeks in pieces, making it look totally different now. I don't like the wig that much, to be honest, so I wore it only once yet, for a Gyaru meet a long time ago, looking like that.
Other pictures of it can be found here although I'm not recommending these noob days to anyone, pullover, again, is from Glavil by Tutuha.
The curles turned out to be horrible after that so I cut them short, leaving the pink brown mixed curls longer like one would do for Visual Kei but I changed style completely after that, following a tutorial by Reika.
Now it looks totally different from that. I made the backcombed style and added even black strands by now, not that visible yet though. I'm not finished with this wig yet, I still want to add more pink and black to it for both volume and color.
For people who wanna do more styling with their wigs besides being cosplayer, I'd rather recommend cheap wigs from, for example, ebay. Even if one orders a long wig, the cut off strands are still worth using like I did to cover up the glue a little better.
Maybe it helped some people to get an idea for how to style their wigs, probably it didn't because I don't think I'm that much of an inspiring person. Eventually might have gotten some idea about how one can style different wigs but it's always something everyone needs to decide for themselves, I'm doing pretty much most of my things out of pure fun and spontaneously.

Wigs - Part 1
I recently got my Lockshop luckypack, including five wonderful wigs and a few extras. I payed 150€ for it but it surely was worth it, especially since I had wanted Lockshop wigs since a while, unable to decide on some so I just used that chance and made myself a little X-Mess surprise.
It had taken surprisingly long to get the wigs but then these nice items arrived, in a package and in two single bags what was were nice from them.
Pictures of the unpacked items, uncluding: Starlet in Split, Soft Curls in Soft Pink, Silky Straight in Dark Brown, Hime Gyaru in Honey and Cascade in Vanilla or Faerie (Not too sure about that)
To be honest, I'm no fan of cat items neither did I want another pink wig, especially no one this bright. So I planned to sell these ones. In general, though, I gotta say their wigs got perfect quality, easy to brush and style, not too shiny and not too unnatural looking.
Yet I didn't wear all of them but some of them I styled though. Mostly I did braided styles because I love trying them out and it is fun.
First one is the Silky Straight, I really love the color since it's a deep dark brown, not too afar from my own color, so I can always imagine it's my natural hair just longer. I once had that long hair but got annoyed by it (Bless my short hair), but I'm really looking forward to finding an occasion to wear it since I did this nice braiding styles on it.
That was from when I had been still in the middle of working but the other side looks pretty much the same, the end result being a little messy but I'm quite satisfied with it and after starting over like five times, I didn't want to start all over again.
Second is my Cascada wig. When I first got it I was really annoyed by all the volume it had. In my family, everyone has pretty voluminous hair, but after having shaved undercuts and having bleached some parts, I wasn't used to this much hair in a time, especially not this wavy one. The wind that day didn't make it any better either.
All the volume... I felt like my beanie would slip off... (Witch beanie from Killstar)
Afterwards I cut it (made some mistakes though, unfortunately), and did another braiding style, trying out a few things, especially I didn't get the time yet to try them on Mina.
It was a more loose style but I didn't want the waves to fade under it. Featuring my mom and sister in the background, sorry for that. With that style I didn't wear the wig yet.
After that comes the Starlet wig. It's made out of two nice colors, the one being a little lighter than from my Silky Straight and the blonde a little darker than for my Cascade. The combination is really nice and a friend happens to have the same, what made me feel happy because then we can do another partner look. I didn't do much with this wig, just cut it up a little and twisted two strands backwards so it wouldn't be too much in the front. Unfortunately I left the bangs too long so I'm sorry for the bad looks of them.
Satan Pullover by Glavil by Tutuha, was a nice piece I bought online a year ago. The brand is famous around Gyaru Style and I fell in love with this top, it even has little horns and a small tail. I would love to have more of their stuff but it's too expensive for me at the moment.
Last one is the Hime Wig. I didn't wear it yet because I don't really wear Hime, I might try to get a Goth Hime look for it but for now I just styled it up a little since the strands before the puff were just hanging down, needing to be teased down so it'd look better in my eyes.
But it has some really nice locks and looks overall great in my opinion.
The first picture shows the color actually best but the light in my room isn't all that great. Nevertheless, it shows the style nicely enough. The little light points are just the pins I need to keep it attached to the wig head.
The collar is by Pinkabsinthe. She recently had a Lucky Pack offer and I love her stuff, so I used the chance to buy three items for just 19$. Unfortunately, I got a cat shirt and again, I'm not a fan of cats. They seem to chase me though, funnily.
I once tried to do a Hime Wig myself and gave it to a former friend as present then. It wasn't nearly as nice so I'd rather recommend to buy it from Lockshop. The synthetic hair feels nice and looks all nice, so I can only recommend Lockshop in general!
I'll try to get the post about my old and cheaper wigs done as soon as possible. I'd add some parts about how to take care of them but I think one can easily find a better explanation about that elsewhere.
