Darkness there and nothing more

Mother nature has shown her cold shoulder again, so it was time to dig out the winter coats and warm layers from the dusts of last winter. As you can see, the ghostlike blanket covers the land again in death and sleep for months and months to come. And I'm not ready for it yet, it all happened so quickly! I wish that autumn could linger on for a few more months, I hate to admit that it's finally time to cradle those lovely sheer stockings and high heels into hibernation. 

The photos were snapped on our Sunday stroll a few hours ago. I'm drawn to this old, mildewed house around the corner, buildings like these positively scream with old memories and I can't help but wonder how it's crumbled into such a mess. The untended garden and cracked paints makes it look like it's abandoned, but sometimes you can see a dim light glowing in the upstairs window. Perhaps it's a ghost (or more realistically thinking, a hobo) but I'd really like to visit the place's insides. Living in a place like that would be so dreamy.

Today's outfit: mourning hat & granny bag ~ vintage  /  dress ~ Restyle / coat ~ from mum (orig.Lindex) 
necklace ~ Kreepsville and  stockings by Pamela Mann, both from Back Street  / shoes & gloves ~ second hand

And a worthy mention of the best activity of the weekend: the yearly tradition of the local horror/trash film festival Cinemare! I'm always anxiously waiting for this event and I scan the selection with glee, but I still made it to only two films this year (plus DREDD 3D, which we saw right before the actual festival). The idea is to watch films all through the night, but my concentration and sitting skills just aren't adequate for a crusade of that magnitude. Next year I shall try my best to last through the night, with sheer will power as my weapon. And gallons of coffee.


PS: The last shown film included a short film premiere (the Gates of Evil) in the beginning, and the fun thing is that I acted in it! As a zombie! :D And I'm a bit ashamed that I couldn't keep awake for that occasion, but luckily I'll see it later on a separate presentation!
