BLACK MILK// der kuss dress reviews // 6 Month ANNIVERSARY

2 days ago I celebrated our 6 month anniversary with my boyfriend.

I don't think I've ever mentioned on the blog because life has been so hectic but the friend I mentioned a while back was really there for me when my last relationship ended. I was miserable and didn't know what to do with myself or anything in my life really, and he was there. I didn't expect anything to happen ever but it turns out to be a happy ending.

Here are some photos my friend Sukhraj of Sukhraj Bhattal photography took for us! He's amazing and if you're in the Vancouver area and want to have him take photos for you, I highly recommend it. Sukhraj is versatile and can take portrait/glam/cosplay photos easily. He's often taken my cosplay pics at cons too ehehe.

We celebrated earlier in the week with a nice dinner and went clubbing for our friend's birthday whose event was the same day L O L

I think I've outgrown clubbing though. It's so tiring. My old body had to drag itself into work the next afternoon and I suffered orz|||

I have so many new things that I budgeted myself for.

;A; So happy to have these in my possession at last.

I managed to grab the Black Milk dress [my first one] during their anniversary sale so everything was 20% off!

If anyone knows me, they know Klimt is my favorite painter and I love 'The Kiss'

I even did one of my art final projects on him, trying to emulate his style. Ahaha.

It's so inspiring to have a painting of his on my body. Even if it's only a print dress.

*A*

Black Milk has rave reviews from other bloggers so I had to see what the fuss was about.

The fabric is amazing. I'm not very curvy, but this dress has a way of accentuating the good and glossing over the not so awesome parts of your body!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I have instagram now too! follow me @ rundevinrun

My beautiful friend Hannah took these photos. She's a model in Vancouver and does some work regularly. Gorgeous girl, gorgeous photos, gorgeous soul <3

Happy November!

Ahhh I missed blogging about Halloween but that's okay because I had fun despite not going trick-or-treating like I usually do!

[I might be too old, but I can usually pass for younger so I think it's okay. I'm still a kid at heart u___u]

This year I was in school working, but since the teacher had a 'sick' day we decided to catch up on assignments, order pizza, and play Amnesia.  If you don't game a lot or listen to gamers talk, you wouldn't know Amnesia probably since it was released by an indie game studio.

Here's a funny video to explain what it's like to play. :D

I chickened out after the first 5 minutes when things are just moving on their own! Q___Q omg all the guys manned up and played despite being scared. The worst feel is when you turn a corner and one of the monsters is right in front of you. AHHHH
You can't fight/hurt them. You can only run. And you generally run slower than them.

It's so scary and perfect for Halloween!

Recently I've been in a few shoots because a lot of my friends are photographers and they need models. "Models" lol.  SO here are a few pics I especially liked that my friends took!

Also pictured here is Kathy who is the sweetest thing! <3

Next up in a Halloween themed dance that a local anime club was hosting.  It was super fun and really nice to see friends again that I hadn't seen since summer.

I was also in a hair photoshoot because a very close friend of mine was graduating salon school!
It was definitely an experience and I got to have my hair tortured lol but the result was awesome!



Sorry I haven't been blogging lately guys! All my spare time has been going to school!
I'll try to do some more reviews for you guys!

C&E and L&C

I'll be using this post to talk about the 2 day convention during August 13-14 at UBC of Vancouver AND also a local photoshoot that happened last week at Queen Elizabeth Park!

The convention was really fun because it was my first year selling art and I really wanted to prove to myself that I could earn something from my art. It was actually really invigorating to try and talk people into seeing what they liked about my art and how they liked it.  Some people didn't even need coercing to buy and were like "I'll take them all"

It was soo sweet and thank you so much to everyone to bought one of my bookmarks or collab prints with Snakeyhoho
It means the world to me!

These are what I was selling this year and I have leftovers if anyone's interested!

I was cosplaying as Vanille for both days of the con and it was great! So many people recognized me and SO many ff cosplayers were kind enough to ask for photos with them and I thought it was really kind that they would! On the second day one girl even asked to see my costume in 360 view [while I was sitting LOL] so I rotated slowly and she said she was also making a Vanille cosplay and wanted to know how I had done the back. It was super inspirational that someone would think I could be any help at all in making cosplay haha!

It just really felt like I leveled up in craftsmanship, you know? It's hard to explain the feeling, but it definitely made me want to try harder on cosplay and work on details and basic structure.  <3 Thank you to everyone for the hugs, compliments, and photo requests!

My friends T, N, and new friend W were all walking about in a group and it was amazing how many people hoarded for pics haha!

So here are some pics of us from the convention!

T was Hope
N as Lightning
and W as Snow!

T came to us on the first day and was all 'omg there's this really attractive male Snow cosplayer at the con.'

Us: "REALLY?" and it turned out N knew him from Minicomi. He's super chill and was more than happy to walk around with us and private shoot. YOU'RE THE BEST, SNOW.

^ Above 2 photos taken by my friend Micheal~

The following were taken by new friends and photographers who asked permission for shots!
special thanks to Micheal and Sukhraj for being such sports when we were derping around :D

NOW ONTO LIGHTS AND CAMERAS!

If you aren't local or into the cosplay scene, you probably haven't heard of L&C, a photoshoot organized annually by friends of mine! They're always super enthusiastic about organizing the event and make sure there are fun activities and prizes to win~

This year was the 5th year running and this time they organized a scavenger hunt and TONS of cool prizes to win~

Unfortunately I couldn't participate because N and I had been dragged away for a private shoot which was super fun!
