Corsets!

Today's topic is corsets. They are an essential wardrobe attire for the alternative minded. And they make your waist go in the most beautiful shape, if you have a real corset for tightlacing. I usually only wear my corsets when I dress up, and I usually tighten them just so they are comfortable and snug-fitting so my waist is reduced about 5-10 cm (2-4 inches). It sounds like a lot, but if you try to suck your tummy in, you'll reduce your waist a lot more than that, and the corset makes your back real straight and it is actually easy and comfortable to sit up straight. It is impossible to slouch your back in a corset.

I have gotten four corsets so far, and I plan on getting more. All of them are from Dracula Clothing, they have a lot of really nice ones, and other alternative fashion items as well.

My four different corsets, two overbust and two underbust.

Outfit of the day.

Tanktop: H&M, Skirt: unknown, Tights: Cubus.

I am planning to blog a bit about my style. I do not follow any particular style, I just mix and match what I like, and also what looks nice on my figure. I am indeed a plus size, and I find it a challenge to dress the way I like. The styles I love and are influenced a lot by are goth, rockbilly, metal, punk, aristocrat and steampunk.
I will start to post ootd to show you how I dress, both on laidback days and when I really dress up. I have not really found a lot of gothic styling and fashiontips for big girls, so I will just have to make one myself. ;)

Instagram.

I am trying out some of the cool photo apps I found for my new Samsung Galaxy S 3. You can find me on instagram by searching for Cheriesol.

Birthdayparty for Espen!

Todays makeup.

Today we celebrated my boyfriends birthday with family and friends! It was a nice and cosy day with tacos and some beers. We ended up playing a kind of pictionary, and these are my darlings awsome pictures! Can you guess what they are? We got the right guesses after some time, we laughed so hard!! I especially love the first guys feet!! Hahaha! Espen has a rare talent to be able to draw so bad, but still understandable.
Leave a comment on what you think he has drawn..

Kitchen update.

This is the latest update from my kitchen. We finally got up the kitchenfan! I went to the hardware store and bought some supplies, and managed to fix it in place with my own design. The manual for the fan was no good, so I am really proud that I found a way to secure it nice and snug in the cupboard. It has stayed in place and worked like a dream for about a month now. Never mind the ventilation shaft, it is only temporary, it will be my next mission.
