Aurora Bazar: loveliest victorian and gothic chokers

Read article

Aurora Bazar is a store based in Australia that features gorgeous  chokers. Some perfect for those vampire ladies with black and red droplets, and built with lovely venetian lace, velvets and beads, czech glass stones,  handcrafted with their original designs.  Ornate and sumptuous, with that luxurious vintage looking. Some very gothic looking, other more victorian... but all equally delightful. The chokers will fit you as they fasten with an adjustable length chain and clasp. Stunning!   Above: "Hepatica" choker model

 

Venetian Masks: The Masquerade

Read article

The venetian masks always cause a double impact. The first time I saw the movie "Into the labyrinth" I was fascinated by the Masquerade Ball scene where Jareth (see previous article about Labyrinth's goblin king)  and Sarah dances. It all had a magical,  elegant yet slightly decadent  look. There's something in the venetian masks that fascinates us and also can awake a slight sense of horror too. The Carnival of Venice  o Carnevale di Venezia ( read wikipedia article for in detail historic information) will take place next February in Venice (Italy) but throughout the year the masks and its symbolism have become part of every masquerade ball and fantasy party and meetings.
