Greek and Roman Summer Garb

Hi guys! Sorry to neglect this blog for so long! I have so many online sites to maintain for my business, sometimes a hobby-based site falls behind. Anyway, I have tons of stuff to share, but I'm going to start with some basic summer outfits I made for my boyfriend and myself this year. We attended a few very hot events this year, and I thought we could both use something really cool to wear!

For my outfit, I took inspiration from the Greek athletes and workers wearing short chitons.
For Chris, I was inspired by the Roman workers. I also made him some "barbarian" pants!

Bloody Heart for Valentine's Day

My friend Mona and I have been wanting to do a bloody photo shoot for some time. Well, we finally got around to it! So...Happy Valentine's Day! (:
I made two simple Roman-inspired dresses for this shoot. I wanted to go simple, just because I was far too nervous about potentially ruining a couture gown. I think the Roman-type look really worked well for it.

You can see the whole set here: http://www.faerie-queen.com/bloody-heart/
I also posted a few more photos on my facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/daisyviktoria

Inspiration at the Getty Villa

Here in LA, we have this wonderful place called the Getty Villa. It is filled with Greek and Roman era artifacts, and the whole place looks like a Roman villa. My boyfriend and I went there for a visit, and I wanted to share some images we took. It's costume inspiration time, Roman era style!
There are quite a few pictures here, enjoy!
