Past Adventures - Road trip to Bratislava

Hello Ghouls and Ghoulettes!

Yesterday I was browsing through some past pictures (believe me, there are many!) and I decided it would be fun to open a new theme in the blog. So from now on, I´ll be sharing some of my most interesting past adventures with you! I´m kind of a traveller, a citizen of the world, of sorts. I´ve lived in Wales, England, Portugal, Spain and Austria. Additionally, I've travelled to Germany (twice), France, Slovakia, Hungary and Czech Republic (twice), plus the Azores (beautiful portuguese islands in the Atlantic Ocean).  I even went to the african continent once, I travelled with my parents to Ceuta from Spain (you can get a boat there) and spent a day there, though I´m not sure if that counts as leaving Europe. I love, love, LOVE to travel! In the future, I really want to travel all over Europe (specially go to Ireland and Scotland), The USA, Mexico (dia de los muertos <3), Egypt and Japan. Anyway, on the the point. In this theme I´ll be sharing all kinds of adventures from the past, no matter how old. Travels, days out with friends, festival outings, everything! I´ll create a special tag for it, so if you're interested, always feel free to check the "Past Adventures" tag, and come share my frockings with me! I plan to post soon many of my trips within the UK, my trip to wave gotik treffen, my trip to Disneyland Paris, several trips from while I was in Austria... Stay tunned!

I´ll start with a roadtrip I made with some friends to Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Come and wander with me, after the cut!

Devin Castle, Bratislava.

Tales from a bat and her lover, far far away from her cavern! (part one)

Hello my dear creatures of zee nighttttt!

It looks like this Ghoulette has troubles posting when living away from home... I've talked about this a million times before, but life's just too busy... There's always someone to see or something to do. A swim in the Danube if it's hot, a drink and a chat with a friend after work, a walk around the center, an icecream at zanoni in schwedenplatz... Right now, I´m in Prague! I´m mega lucky, because Austria borders with 8 different countries, so there's plenty of opportunities to travel. I've already been in Bratislava (Slovakia) and Munich (Germany), and after Prague (Czech Republic) i´m going to Budapest (Hungary). I´m a very lucky ghoul indeed! Which reminds me, that I really do have to share the pictures of those happy times with you guys! Soonnnnnnn, i´ll try!

Anyway, apart from travelling, in the beginning of the month I got the most awaited visit of all my stay in Wien. My other half came to visit and stayed for a month, and boy was it magical! Starting from moment one, I wanted to surprise him in the airport, so I fooled him and told him I could not go and pick him up, since I had a meeting with my landlord. It was so hard not to break and tell him the truth, because I knew he felt all confused and scared he wasn't going to find his way through Vienna to my house from the airport, but I hold firm. I took Aileen along to film his reaction when we met in the airport, after being away from each other for 4 months. I´m not sharing the vid because I feel it's too personal, but here's a couple of our first pics after he arrived:



How can I describe this month? Magical? Blissful? Heaven on earth? Being in the arms of your loved one after 4 months away is intense, I can tell you that much. We had our cranky moments, mostly because I love to tease him (in a playful mood, but sometimes he takes it rather badly!) and we can both be a little grumpy sometimes. But mostly, the month consisted of cuddling a lot, eating and drinking, walking around Vienna, cuddling some more, watching game of thrones together cosy in bed... Falling asleep in his arms makes me feel the safest and the comfiest i ever felt in my life... The way we just tune with each other, our sense of humour, his kindness and support, our mutual interests, make me feel the happiest I've ever felt with a significant other. Everything about this relationship is different, better, and it just feels right. I´m a wounded little bat with some scars from my previous relationship, so sometimes I´m afraid of getting hurt, or of just messing it up.  But nobody knows the future, so all we can do is our best, and enjoy every tiny second, every moment. So lameness ahead, here's a sneak peak of our "honeymoon" in Vienna:


Mailindo, having a beer I brought him from Bratislavian lands! (although the beer is actually Czech, and apparently really tasty!)







The parliament, one of the most beautiful places of Vienna (although it's so hard to choose, in such a beautiful city) and one of our 1st dates


 The Prater






Helder's balcony, aka the best view i've ever seen in central Vienna




Swimming with baby swans in the Danube




And we saw satanic symbols in the skies! \m/ mvahahah




We ate ice cream at schwedenplatz (several times :x)




 Made a mess out of my room




We gave me flowers in a day I was feeling particularly shitty <3 (Fun fact, I had never been given a bouquet of flowers by a boyfriend before, only single roses and stuff, so it was extra special!)




 Went to the Prater some more (I think we went there like 5 times while he was here! :x) We rode the prater turn, jack the ripper and a kind of children roller-coaster that looked fun. Also, ate a shitload of Langos mit knoblaut!




Shared a romantic afternoon in Empress Sissi's summer residence, the Schönbrunn Palace




And amazingly enough, found Fernando Pessoa (a very famous and very talented Portuguese writer and poet) lost in a building in Thaliastrasse

More to come, excuse the lameness, but that's the way we are <3

See you soooooooon (Hopefully!)

Deadly outfit - Showing the sights around Vienna


I had some friends visiting last week, and it was amazing, but equally tiring. Bela Lugosi's dead, and so am I (undeaddd undeeeeaad undeeeead), therefore I leave you with this small outfit post. Just to say that I´m... well, Undeeeeaaad!

Sunglasses - Thrifted at the Naschmarkt (2 euros)
Skully dress (actually a tshirt transformed into a dress) - Street Market in Thaliastrasse (2 euros)
Ripped Leggings - Bershka (About 10 euros, if I remember it correctly!)

And a bonus picture of me eating zanoni & zanoni ice cream (and sofia in the background). Just because it's tasty and fucking cheeeap!



Take care batsies, loads of love from Viennese lands!

(Not so) NEW IN/Haul

Sooooo, I just realized I had a bunch of pictures from stuff I bought over these last few months, and although i've been bad at keeping up with my shopping (this is only a small portion of what I bought) I might as well share with you some of it :)

So, take a trip with me to the depths of bargain shopping obcession!

 

Clutch from Feira da ladra (3€)


 Some books from an antiquary (1€ each)


 Leather bag from Feira da Ladra, which I really really love (it's a pity it is so small) and it was a MEGA BARGAIN, 1,5 euros!

 Infinity skull and roses scarf (love the pattern) C&A sales, 3€

 Perfume (trade) and owl ear muffs from Primark (1€)

This was a bit of a move outside my comfort zone, because I haven't worn jeans for literally like 10 years... But I figured that a pair of jeans might actually come useful for when I go on hikes and stuff... And I loved these, and they were for cheaps, so I couldn't pass them! (primark - 9 euros each)

I've been wanting a fake leather jacket for AGEEES, so when I found this bad boy, I had to bring him home with me. It's a bit tight unfortunately, but I can make it work (C&A, 29 euros)


Bunch of sweets you can't find in Portugal (I love the one with the candy pacifier)

Bunch of accessories and a black lipstick (cause i´m goff like that) from Claire's, 1€ each

Sweat from new yorker (which is SHIT in Portugal, but really good here in Aústria!) - 5€
 From new yorker, 5 euros

Now all of these I bought second hand at a humana store sale, and they were all 1 EURO EACH! Yes, you read it right! One fucking eurooooooo!


Knit dress

Flowy skirt
 Glitter knit blouse (one of my star finds, which I already wore loads)


Bra that I shall wear over shirts as a corset thingie, cause i´m a slut like that


Hippie like velvet dress (This doesn't look amazing on me, but all that velvet, for one euro...)

Jacket thingie


Dress with an amazing collar

And finally, another velvet skirt. (I´m terrible, and bought another one today :x)

I have LOADSS more hauls to post, whenever I have the time and patience to photograph everything and post it here. I hope you guys enjoyed my bargains, I´m a hugeeee bargain shop lover (I only buy something full price if I really freaking love it!). And I've been teaching my thrifty ways to my friends and disciples, like my baby Sara Corpsie and to Aileen!

Hope you enjoyed the post, see you soon hopefully

Ta daaaa!
