It bitterly cold today even for a girl that likes to wear skirts and dresses all the time a comfy pair of work trousers is essential on days like this xx ♥️♥️
OK I suspect that some of you, having seen me play the ogre returning to his castle for my previous photo, might now have wished me to appear in this shot, perched on a great shining black war horse, in my finest gleaming armour....somewhere just on that higher ground to the left, in anticipation of me cantering across to the castle walls and shouting up to the unseen faces within, "Come out and fight like men, you grisly cowards", and having slain them all to rescue my maiden within.
But dressed in my business suit with wet and mud spattered trouser bottoms I'm afraid I must save that for another day. I could make up a story about the castle, but as there is a lot to say, let me quote directly from other more learned and trustworthy sources, as follows (let's try Undiscovered Scotland):
Hermitage Castle is a forbidding and oppressive place. It stands just five miles from the border with England and guards Liddesdale, so for centuries had considerable strategic importance. Seen from the east or west the architecture seems utterly brutal: sheer walls relieved only by blind arches that from some angles can be very reminiscent of Edvard Munch's painting "The Scream". Radio Scotland once broadcast a feature in which Hermitage Castle was described as the embodiment of the phrase "sod off" in stone. It's a difficult description to better.
The castle's unusual architecture is partly responsible for Hermitage Castle's remarkable atmosphere. So is the ballad writer Dr John Leyden, a friend of Sir Walter Scott. He elaborated on Hermitage's pretty unpleasant history, producing tales of myth and magic that have become confused with reality over the years since.
The setting also does the castle few favours. Its riverside location high in the valley of the Hermitage Water ought to be enchanting. But the bleak and open moorland that surrounds Hermitage Castle on its other three sides can seem oppressive.
The origins of Hermitage Castle date back to around 1240, when Nicholas de Soules, butler to the king, settled in the area. He probably initially built a hunting lodge a few hundred yards west of the site of the castle you see today, near the ruins of the Chapel of Hermitage. By 1320, the area was held by William de Soules, a man so widely disliked that there are two quite separate stories told about his demise. In one of them he plotted against Robert the Bruce and was imprisoned in Dumbarton Castle, with Hermitage being forfeited to the Crown. In another more fanciful story, based on a ballad written in the 1700s (which referred to him by the family name "de Soulis"), William de Soules was boiled alive in molten lead by locals after inflicting a reign of terror on the neighbourhood.
The first castle at Hermitage was probably built in around 1330. Being so close to the border with England, Hermitage Castle changed hands a number of times over the years. The wooden castle probably comprised a strongly-defended motte and a larger bailey. Nothing remains above ground of this first castle, but it is thought that some of its earthworks are still visible today, including ditches that were probably flooded using water re-routed from streams flowing from the high ground to the north.
In 1338 the castle was captured by Sir William Douglas. He was an ambitious man who responded to the appointment by King David II of Alexander Ramsay as Sheriff of Teviotdale by imprisoning Ramsay in Hermitage Castle and starving him to death. In response, David II took the line of least resistance and appointed Sir William to the newly vacant post.
The first stone castle was built at Hermitage in about 1360, for the Cumbrian nobleman Lord Dacre, who had inherited lands in the area by marriage. His castle took the form of a fortified manor house, with two north-south aligned ranges separated by a narrow cobbled courtyard. The courtyard area and the walls facing onto it have survived within the structure you see today, and it is clear that Lord Dacre's castle was extremely well-built, though it may never have been completed.
By 1371 Hermitage Castle was in the possession of William, 1st Earl of Douglas. He rebuilt Dacre's castle as a single large keep, retaining parts of the structure, but raising the height considerably and building over the courtyard. It was William's illegitimate son, George, 1st Earl of Angus, who, from 1390, added four great stone towers to the corners of the castle, producing what you see today. The blind arches were added to allow wooden fighting platforms to run the length of the outside of the tops of the walls. The result was definitely a castle built for war rather than for show. With very few windows below the wall tops, and the gaps there obscured by the fighting platforms, the interior of Hermitage Castle must have been an incredibly dark and gloomy place.
In 1492 James IV's doubts about the loyalty of the 5th Earl of Angus led him to instruct that Hermitage Castle be exchanged for the less strategically sensitive Bothwell Castle, until then held by the 1st Earl of Bothwell.
The only hint of romance in Hermitage Castle's story came in October 1566, when it was held by James Hepburn, 4th Earl of Bothwell. He was injured in a fight with border reivers. When news of this came to the ears of Mary Queen of Scots, visiting Jedburgh, 25 miles away, she dropped everything and rode with a small retinue to be by his side.
Still married at the time to Lord Darnley she could not be seen to stay at Hermitage with Bothwell, so after two hours she returned the 25 miles to Jedburgh. En route her horse stumbled into a marsh and Mary contracted a fever from which she nearly died.
Hermitage Castle fell into disuse in the early 1600s. Its fame as a gloomy and romantic ruin spread through the 1800s: Sir Walter Scott had himself painted with Hermitage in the background. This interest led the then owner, the 5th Duke of Buccleuch, to undertake extensive repairs which helped so much of the exterior wall to survive until the castle was placed in state care in 1930. It isn't clear how faithful the restoration actually was to the original, and the end result does have oddities, such as the gable end rising over the wall head above the eastern blind arch. This seems to have been for decorative purposes only, as there could never have been a structure here requiring the gable end you see today.
Catch Hermitage Castle on a beautifully sunny day and it can seem relatively benign. But if you do find yourself alone here on a gloomy day, with the wind whistling through the few openings in the walls, it's easy to understand why many visitors have reported unusual apparitions and happenings. You only have to look at this fascinating and intimidating castle to know it comes with real character that can at times seem a very long way from benign.
Enjoying getting away from the wind and relaxing in my lovely trouser suit with my new beautiful Phase Eight blouse. Please excuse the messy hair

Leather strap pieces button on lower hem, forming stirrups for the foot. Elephant Ear Riding Jodhpurs with metal zipper fastenings on both sides and at the ankles.

On a holiday trip Transylvania, northern province of Romania, i fell in love with the jewelry worn by romanian gypsieswomen.
I have a in a traditional dress for gypsy women. No photos, I tried to dress a few times but sold it. i fell in love with the local culture and brought souvenir from Transylvania, black leather jodhpurs pants. I added gypsy exoticism with strong makeup and plenty of jewelry, the picture does not include jewelry.
First, the conventional wisdom on glitter in makeup was: don't wear it, it's for children and whores. Then: you can wear it, but wear it subtly, so that no one knows you're wearing it, or at least so that straight men and the unsavvy don't know you're wearing it.
"Obvious makeup, obvious fake stuff was such a no-no until really the middle of the 20th century," Deihl says. "There's stuff going back to the 1970s with people doing outrageous face painting and things. [But] in terms of general wear, not countercultural but teenage girls putting glitter on their faces—that's relatively recent." New Jersey, the inventor of glitter was from there. In 1934, Henry Ruschmann stumbled upon a way to manufacture the stuff we package and sell as glitter while grinding up plastics and other materials from landfills. Ruschmann's company, Meadowbrook Inventions, still makes glitter today, though some people consider plastic glitter like this cheap—or for "casual crafters" only—true depth of sparkle only being achievable with glass glitter. This seems very dangerous and is indeed not recommended for use by children.
In the 70’s or 80s, very rarely did women put trouser legs inside the boots, the pants hid beautiful boots - the work of the shoemaker has been wasted. Bottom pants fashion caused destruction -

Ever since last season leather pants have grown a lot trend wise and their cuts and styles surpass the typical skinny jean look. Although to be honest here, it’s this skinny leather pants style I think works best for this type of trousers. It’s sleeker, more polished and makes it easier for us to play with shapes. For example: skinny leather pants & very short leather jacket.
That’s not to say slouchier leather pants don’t work. Au contraire they’re quite the hit this season. Think side zipper trouser but still cut and fitted to the body shape.
They look perfect with a tucked in satin blouse or a blazer

Not Merry and Peppin, but just youngsters with a horn for Bilbo to blow. They are also made a bit smaller digitally. The hair is painted. It is a real photo and cleaned up in Photoshop.

Finally back warm weather and sunshine! Best time to go playing in the forrest...
Caught by the wood ranger red-handed when smoking in the forrest, so still waiting for a severe birching...
I have always envisaged how it would be like to work as Amanda, and considered that this trouser suit would be one ensemble that would be effective.
I went shopping today as it was the beginning of the best period of the years : SALES :D
I didn't find anything really on "sales" except some old goodies with opened or smashed box with just 10% off XD
I was starting to get desperate when in the last store I visited they received the brand new Barbie, Frozen AND Monster High collections !!!!
I was so excited I jumped everywhere... Then I saw the prices and was like "wow" they are even more expensive than last year !!! Budget boxes are around 30€ while last year they were 25€ --' thanks Mattel for those prices...
But I managed to get something I really wanted and for a good price, I grabbed the Commet-Crossed 2-pack for 50€ BUT Mattel is doing a special offer at the moment which is buy 2 Mattel toys for a total of at least 30€ and get 10€ back, so that's mainly why I bought that Barbie Trouser from the mix and match collection :D
I usually buy my new dolls online cause it's cheaper but this year actually it's not as cheaper, the Dollar raised and same for the shipping so I'll wait for great deals :D
Also, when I bought this I got enough point on my member card to have a 20€ coupon, so tomorrow I'll go back and buy some Freak Du Chic :D
