The seventh and final outfit of "Death Defying Feats" (Season 3, Episode 1) is a beautiful black net dress decorated with silver vines and a gold floral headpiece.
Known as the "Tarnished Net" dress, this gorgeous gown is made of a black silk slip underneath a black netting embroidered with a burnished gold floral design, with a wide elaborate lace border. The dress itself is a simple wrap dress, with wide shoulder straps and fastened together at the waist with a 1920's clasp shaped into a lily pad with decorative pearls that belonged to costume designer Marion Boyce.
Phryne accessorizes her gown with a beautiful wrap made of antique tulle with a similar wide burnished gold lace border to match the edging of the black netting of the dress itself. Her hairpiece is a complimentary metallic gold floral decoration set onto a comb. Diamond cluster earrings and a burnished gold ring finish off the look.
Season 3, Episode 1 - "Death Defying Feats"
Screencaps from here, costume exhibition photos from Frock Flicks, Marion Boyce's website, and Nikki Johnson's Flickr.

Ahh! Just lovely fair isle knit socks that you can DIY. By Mia Sumell, photo by Essi Lyytikäinen via Kaikkien aikojen joulu. These kinds of house lanterns or Xmas house decorations aren't what I grew up with, but they're a pretty nice addition to Christmas decor, I'd say.

- January 5th 2023-
(@coqxette) Kellen <3
- Aesthetic of the day -
How to master the Rosyblog 2013 Aesthetic
Last night I was lying in bed and scrolling through loads of old 2013, girly aesthetic pins and pictures on Pinterest. It really got me thinking about how much I love the loved the girly vibe and aesthetic back when I was just 9 😭. I didn’t have a phone but I had a tablet, and I remember seeing all of these photos on the internet and on Tumblr (that I really didn’t understand how to use at the time 🤣) I decided to spend my day like all of those IT girls did back in the day, full of girly things and doing fun, girly activities, and so I wanted to write a blog post on it 🛼🎀🧁💗☕️
Visuals in the aesthetic
(Key things that can be seen within this aesthetic)
Ariana Grande (Yours Truly era specifically)
Old school YouTubers (Think Gabi Demartino, Zoella etc…)
Victoria secret | PINK
Cath Kidston
Anything floral
Baby and soft pink tones
Aqua/Turquoise
Fairylights
Starbucks
EOS lip balm/lip smackers
Cute phone cases (That one Rillakuma one for bonus points)
Decorating your lock screen/Home Screen and organising phone to make it aesthetically pleasing
Donuts
Polaroid cameras & Polaroids
Essie nail polish
Yankee candles
The wardrobe:
The rosyblog wardrobe consisted of a traditional girly wardrobe but with certain elements that really let people identify it as “Rosy” ☕️🎀
Ariana Grande in 2013 is literally the main style inspo for ANY rosy blog outfits, her fits were always girly but comfy, and co-ordinated but casual.
Rosyblog wardrobe staples:
Floral tee’s tanks, cardigans, jackets, coats…
Burton up cardigans
Sweaters
Skater skirts
Shorts
Pea coats
Ballet flats
Bailey ugg’s (Bonus points if they are pink with the bows on the back! 😫🎀)
Skinny jeans
Tracksuit bottoms
Leggings
Tights
Cami tops
Peplum tops
Skater dresses
Strapless dresses
Headbands
Bows
Pearls
Knee high socks
🛼🎀🧁☕️💗🛼🎀🧁☕️💗🛼🎀🧁☕️💗🛼
Rosyblog Activities
A girly girl, needs girly things to do right? Here’s some things you can do to feel like your still living in 2013… because even though we’re not, it’s still the same old world ☺️🌸
Go shopping! (Go to the mall like all the IG YouTubers used to back in the day)
Wear an adorable girly outfit
Go to Victoria Secrets & Starbucks
Have a pamper day!
Paint your nails
Watch OG YouTube videos, Gabi’s room tours, old Zoella vlogs
Make a 2013 inspired Playlist. I have one on Spotify I made today, titled “Rosyblog” (My Spotify is @coqxette)
Listen to old songs from 2013 (Ariana’a Yours Truly album and Taylor Swift!)
Take 2013 inspired photos, and filter them
🎀☕️
Done!
I hope you enjoyed my aesthetic guide and let me know what others you would like me to do in the future. I will probably add to these posts as I become more educated on the styles and aesthetics in the future. After all, that’s what I am passionate about.
Love you all, have a rosy day, Kellen 🎀🌸☕️

Hi! Please don’t be freaked out that I essentially just stalked your blog? Emoji ask game, if you feel like it <3
😈💖🧐
Finding that someone has trawled through my blog is honestly the highlight of being on this hellsite (affectionate). It fills me with such unbridled joy. Having said that, my brain holds memories worse than a sieve holds water so I cannot for the life of me remember anything I post or reblog, as such the ask game is a mystery. By way of apology I shall pop on your doormat a fic like a cat would present a carefully hunted leaf.
Technically the Truth
The perk of Geralt dating Jaskier was that Lambert and Eskel met Cahir. How exactly Geraly ended up dating a popstar was beyond understanding but his makeup artist was a perk for sure, even if they couldn't visit him quite as they wanted to. Cahir had two dogs which, at first, had been a delight for Lambert and Eskel. Alas, they couldn't meet them. Being rescues with a gnarly past, they were distrustful of new people already and fiercely protective of Cahir. Add in their size and the stereotypes of their breed, Cahir did not take any risks. It didn't stop him sending pictures of the dogs in various ridiculous situations, Lambert's favourite was perhaps the one involving duck printed onesies, caps and, for some hitherto unknown reason, a pacifier.
Introductions were slowly made, meeting on a walk. Treats only worked to some extent as a form of bribery and buying the dogs' favour. While out and about, things were fine. But when home, it was a bit of a different matter. Still, they worked hard and finally both Lambert and Eskel were accepted and welcome visitors in Cahir's home.
For a makeup artist, Cahir sure seemed exclusive. He toured with Jaskier and his manager, Fringilla. There were very few other clients he worked with, Essi was one of them and, with some disdain from Jaskier, he also occasionally worked for Valdo. But mostly he was not only Jaskier's makeup artist but also confidant. Tours were one thing but Cahir also tagged along to trips, interviews, appearances. The biggest honour was when he asked Lambert and Eskel to take care of his dogs for a couple of weeks.
It was no hardship really. The first week flew by, they sent Cahir photos and got brief messages in return. Whatever it was Jaskier was filming (possibly a music video?), it was keeping Cahir busy. The second week they heard even less from Cahir. By the end of it he had seemingly dropped off the face of the planet. Worried, Eskel questioned whether Jaskier had been in touch with Geralt. Finding out he was home already made something twist cruelly in his chest. To make matters worse, at the end of the two weeks Fringilla was the one to appear, taking the dogs with her. House and hearts empty, Lambert and Eskel were at a loss.
Things didn't get better. Though it wasn't a comfort, Geralt started spending more time with them, seeming to sulk. It all came tumbling out after a few beers.
"I miss him," Geralt grumbled.
"Who?"
"Jask." The word was scoffed as if it should have been obvious.
Eskel rubbed his nose. "Isn't he home? Shit. You aren't having troubles too, are you?"
Shaking his head, Geralt knocked back the last dregs of his drink. "No. He's got these damn dogs living with him. Something about a will or some shit."
"Why's that an issue? You're Mr. Animals Guy. Let me guess, they're tiny teacup yappers?" It was nigh on impossible to hide the bitterness in Lambert's voice.
"I wish. Two big bastards, he says they're friendly once you know them. But fuck, they keep growling and snarling."
Lambert and Eskel shared a glance. It was Eskel who spoke up. "Geralt, listen to me very carefully. You said will, right? And these dogs, they big, one is brown and white, cropped ears, the other is solid grey, missing an ear and has scars on his neck? Called Peaches-"
"-and Fuzzles," Geralt finished, frowning. "How the fuck did you know?"
"Cahir." Voice barely more than a broken whisper, Eskel leaned against Lambert, trying to hide his breaking heart. "What the fuck happened?"
Anger was easier than grief and Lambert gave into it. Face twisted into a scowl, he squeezed Eskel's hand in his. "We have some questions for your boyfriend. How dare he not tell us?"
"Tell you what?!"
"We're paying him a visit right now. And making sure Peaches and Fuzzles are happy."
Just like that Lambert was up and grabbing his shoes, not caring that it was late or that they'd all had drinks. The taxi took them to Jaskier's without a hitch and he angrily jammed his finger on the buzzer. Familiar twin howls went up. After what felt like an age, Jaskier cracked the door open.
"What? It's a bit late and I'm not up for guests."
Pushing at the door, Lambert stuck a foot in. "Let us see them. And you better tell us why the hell you have Cahir's dogs."
Whatever it was that Jaskier saw in them, he stepped back, allowing them to barge in.
"They're in the garden," he said and gestured in the general direction. "Just-" breaking off, he shrugged, "-be gentle, okay? It's been rough."
Not really caring about Jaskier's woes, Lambert was hurrying to get to the dogs, Eskel hot on his heels. Only, the dogs weren't alone in the garden. The first thing that gave it away was the glowing cherry of a deep cigarette drag. A dark, familiar sihlouette was huddled on the bench, dogs by his feet.
"Cahir?!" Lambert near enough screeched. His determined march was only cut short by the deep growl of one of the dogs. It slowed him down enough to collect himself. "You have a lot of explaining."
The outside light came on and Eskel caught Lambert as he staggered back. Bruised, tired eyes stared up at them as Cahir took a moment to gather himself.
"Hey." Even his voice was wrecked, hoarse and scratchy.
"Is that all you have to say?" This time Eskel was the one to finally snap. "You fall off the face of the earth, Geralt tells us Jaskier has your dogs because if was in your will. And all this time you weren't dead?"
"You prefer if I was?"
"No!" Lambert's outburst drew another growl and Cahir tutted at Peaches.
Stubbing out his cigarette, Cahir pushed to stand, movements stiff. "Things went tits up. I'll call it in then explain inside."
In the end Jaskier was the one who made some mysterious call. He returned to the living room where Geralt, Lambert and Eskel were on a sofa while Cahir was in an armchair, dogs by his feet. Sitting down, Jaskier groaned.
"So, we may not have been completely liberal with the truth. Technically I am a popstar and Cahir my makeup artist. But, uh, that's a cover. We work, or rather, I do and Cahir used to work for the intelligence agency. I could get us places, Cahir had the time to do the work while I distracted."
Lambert laughed and the others looked at him like he had grown a second head.
"What? You don't believe this bullshit?" He stared at Eskel and Geralt, face falling. "Oh shit. You do." In the light of the living room it was much easier to make out the bruises on Cahir's skin, the shape of a brace around his knee under sweatpants, the sling which he had a knack for slipping his arm out of. A little weakly, Lambert added, "I just thought Cahir was too embarrassed to tell us he fell down some stairs or something."
"I wish," Cahir huffed.
"You rest your throat," Jaskier interrupted and took over. "That would be a nicer thing to recover from. Cahir's been staying with me since he was released from hospital. For obvious reasons we can't tell you how he was injured. He needs to rest-" here, he gave Cahir a pointed look, "-and not smoke."
"Bite me."
"In the interest of his health and recovery, it was deemed best he stay with me until he could be on his own again."
"Meaning?" Eskel didn't like the sound of that.
"Physical and mental rehabilitation," Cahir spat with disdain. "Company mandated. Will have some lovely scars and nightmares."
"Cahir," hesitant suspicion laced Eskel's voice, "are you being kept here against your will?"
The bark of a laugh turned into a coughing fit that left Cahir red in the face with tear streaks down his cheeks. "Just can't be alone. Jaskier knows the drill. Not for civilians."
"Do you still want us?" Eskel pushed on and next to him, Lambert sat up a little straighter.
"Don't think you'll want me after this."
"Come home with us." It was Lambert who said it, half a command, half a plea. "Peaches and Fuzzles too."
A long look was shared between Cahir and Jaskier who not so subtly shook his head. Taking a deep breath, Cahir nodded and offered the other two a small smile.
"That sounds nice. I'd like that."

I know this is a bit of a random comment, but your nails look so nice in that one photo with the horse. :D
I spent a lot of time on them. In Carrefour over here, they were selling Essie Aruba Blue polish for cheaper than I can get it in England so I had to get it :D.

One Dress a Day Challenge
February: Orange Redux
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (s3 e2, "Murder and the Maiden") / Essie Davis as Phryne Fisher
Here's a bonus costume, since February is a short month. It seems an appropriate choice as we transition into the month of pink. Miss Fisher wears this "Coral Dream-coat" constructed of silk shot velvet over a simple grey tunic and trousers. The sleeves are interesting--notice how they fall open in the photo where she is raising a glass to drink. The straw beret is apparently a vintage 1920s piece, although the feather decoration was added by the series costume designer, Rose Hudson.
I also want to highlight her gloves, even though they're not orange. Miss Fisher always has appropriate gloves to complete her outfits!

So guess who have fallen into such a deep hole when it comes to the Legend of Zelda franchise? ME! UwU✨
I can't believe it has taken me this long to give the games a proper chance, but holy shit am I loving it, finished BoTW which is the game I started with yesterday and it took me just over 190 hours to complete and I 100% it as well xD
It was such a fun and wild ride, did so much dumb shit and the only regret I got is that I ended up reading too many guides and didn't attempt many things by myself, as I got scared since it was my first ever Zelda game and especially with the korok seeds, but other than that I had such a blast and I plan to replay it in the future after I have played some of the others!
Some which you see in the above photos, as it started out with me wanting to get the wolf Link amiibo so I could have him with me in BoTW, but then found out after getting the amiibo I needed to level him up in Twilight Princess! So went back to the site I brought him and also regular TP Link for Epona, and found a Wii U and these two box sets of TP and Windwaker, so of course had to buy them both and I am so happy!
So yeah just wanted to show these off a bit as I am so happy with these and I am so excited to play them, have started TP today and I am having way too much fun!
#MessedUpEssy#Essy's Photos#the legend of zelda#so yeah i got two wolf links now#which was not my intention#would just have brought the box one if i had decided to get a wii u first#but oh well#no regrets#the store i got them from is so good tho#im so happy i found them as they are a swedish store selling old games etc#and when i brought the wii u they ended up calling me to give me a little refund#as the person who wrote the info wrote some stuff wrong as there were missing cables etc#so got them cables for free and the refund#will so shop there again#but yeah enjoy my start of my collection#as i believe i will most likely get my hands on more zelda stuff#i am stupidly hooked and just yeah#feels great to be a bit obsessed with something again#also i know my bed is covered in cat hair

The eighth and final costume of "Unnatural Habits" (Season 2, Episode 12) is the triumphant return of Phryne's remarkable rooster kimono.
While it's impossible to tell which of her pajama sets Miss Fisher is wearing underneath, her rooster kimono serves as an elegant yet minimal outfit for her vulnerable talk with Jack late at night. The dressing gown itself is made of a black satin that serves as a backdrop to the intricate embroidery that adorn the shoulders and cover the back. A wide variety of threads paint a picture of a flowering tree branch going up from the hem of the kimono and reaching up to her shoulders, while two roosters battle it out in the air.
Essie Davis mentions the dressing gown specifically as her favorite item of clothing in both a video interview with Acorn TV as well as a written interview with NPR:
"I do have a favorite," she acknowledges. "Because I love the simplicity and the extraordinary detail of this beautiful black satin dressing gown that is in chinois embroidery, and on the back of it, are these two embroidered fighting cocks. And I think it is the most perfectly tongue-in-cheek piece of costume, and I love putting it on, 'cause I love the idea that there are fighting cocks." And then she cackles.
This is another item from costume designer Marion Boyce’s personal collection, and according to the Costume Exhibition Catalogue was “one of the last pieces that came out of China before they closed their trading borders in the 1920s”.
“I bought this years and years ago from a retro store, Gollyester in Los Angeles when I was doing Crocodile Dundee 3… it was the most beautiful thing I had seen. I’ve got a passion for Chinoiserie.” - Marion Boyce in the Series One Costume Exhibition Catalogue.
One of several robes designed for nightwear, this is certainly one of her most memorable ones, appearing in the very first episode, 1x01, and then showing up in 1x04, 1x06, 1x10, 2x08, before being bookended at the end of season two here.

a flower by any other name
A little fic I wrote for @jaskierswolf as a live-write piece in the Passiflora Discord. Geraskier, about 1.1K, modern AU, fluff, nonbinary Jaskier using they/them (and accidentally, both Jaskier and Geralt ended up autistic). On AO3.
"Geralt Geralt Geralt!"
“Hm?" Geralt rolls around, blinking awake from his nap, only to be assaulted by flailing arms and nearly mauled by a flying laptop. He sets the laptop aside and gently catches his partner's wrists with his other hand, pressing them against his chest until they settle down. "What's going on?"
"I think I found my name!"
Geralt blinks. They've been on a name hunt for what feels like an eternity now. The last pick was Dandelion, which stuck for long enough that Geralt had started to think that it would be definitive, but his partner has been oddly resistant to sharing it with anyone but Geralt. "Hm?"
"Jaskier!"
"Like the flower?"
"Yes! I was looking in the wrong language, but I know it's right, now. It's perfect. Exactly the name that fits me, can you see it?"
Geralt grunts pensively. Jaskier beams at him and claps their hands, freeing them from Geralt's grasp. They grab the laptop again and turn the screen toward Geralt, showing an overblown photograph of a buttercup.
"I like it," Geralt decides, repeating the sounds in his head. "It does fit you."
"Thank you!" Jaskier squeals. They launch themself at Geralt and the laptop almost flies across the room again. "Jaskier," they murmur in Geralt's neck.
"Jaskier," Geralt repeats. "Jaskier. It's a beautiful name."
"Do you want to tell everyone?" Geralt asks later, when he's standing in front of the stove watching over their dinner.
"Hm."
It's such an uncharacteristic reaction for Jaskier that Geralt whirls around to face them. They're staring at their unlit phone, deep in thought, absently playing with a fidget cube.
"Hm?" Geralt tries. Grunts are his way of communicating, not Jaskier's.
“I don't know," Jaskier mutters.
Geralt thinks it over, flipping the omelette and catching a mushroom before it falls off the pan. "Do you want them to call you Jaskier?"
"Yes," Jaskier responds immediately. But they don't add anything more, and they still look disheartened for some reason.
"Are you scared of how they'll react?"
"No! Yes. No. I don't know. I know they're fine with... me," they make a vague gesture toward their body, "and they gender me right and everything but..."
"But what?" Geralt prompts when Jaskier trails off.
"What if they don't like it?"
Geralt stays stumped for a moment, realizing that Jaskier had no such fear with him. As far as he can tell, they told him straight away. His chest aches with love.
He pulls the pan off the fire, transferring the omelette onto a plate, and he moves over to wrap his arms around Jaskier from behind.
"Do you want me to tell them?" he asks.
Jaskier breathes out slowly, releasing their pent-up energy into the hug. They bring an arm up to squeeze Geralt's hand just the way he likes it. "Would you?"
"For you? I'd do anything."
It takes Geralt about an hour to figure out how he wants to do it, which is far too long when he knows that Jaskier is anxiously waiting and trying to keep it all in. Finally, with a muttered "fuck it", he does something that he would never normally do: he lifts his phone and takes a selfie of both of them, hugging in front of his sloppy omelette.
Bon appétit from Jaskier and me, he captions the photo, adding the only buttercup sticker he can find in the app, and he sends it to the group chat.
Jaskier is the one who normally sends everyone random pictures through the day -- in fact, they created the group chat. It's made up of mostly Geralt's family (Ciri, of course, Ciri's mother Yennefer, Geralt's brothers and Vesemir) plus Jaskier's best friend Essi, since they don't talk to their own family. It's full of banter and encouragements, bits of recorded songs from Jaskier and Essi's band, regular kitty photo battles between Ciri and Lambert, with the occasional baby goat interruption thanks to Eskel, Vesemir's homecooking and Yen's fancy restaurant dishes. Geralt rarely participates properly, uncomfortable with the group setting. He knows Jaskier mainly created it for him, during the worst of his struggles with depression and PTSD, but he's content with opening the app a few times a day and reading through the messages, feeling the love.
OMFG IT'S SUCH A PRETTY NAME 🥺 is Ciri's immediate response. Then, I'm jealous now. Of course she'd be the one to get it first.
Congratulations Jaskier!! comes Yennefer's reaction. Jaskier and her have had a tumultous relationship, mostly owing to Geralt's own issues with her between their divorce and the moment he started dating Jaskier, but the hardships of the last couple years have brought them together in ways Geralt couldn't have imagined.
JASKIER!! so lovely 😭 comes from Essi. Geralt hears Jaskier's phone buzz one more time, and he knows she wrote them privately as well.
"She's asking if I'm only trying it out or if it's time to throw me a name reveal party," Jaskier laughs tearily.
"What do you think?" Geralt asks, finally digging into the omelette, one arm still around Jaskier's shoulders. It's almost cold, but he doesn't mind.
"I know it's the right one. I'm not sure about a party."
"You love parties."
More congratulations are coming from Eskel and Lambert, both enthusiastic and friendly but devoid of the usual level of banter -- they're both unsure how much joking is okay on the subject of Jaskier's gender, Geralt knows. Lambert has put his foot in his mouth more than once before he learned to navigate some of the finer points.
Jaskier stays silent for a beat more. "I don't know," they murmur.
Geralt's phone beeps again. Vesemir. Jakie piękne imię. Geralt squints at it, needing a second to understand, and he feels Jaskier melt against him. They let out a small sob and turn to bury their face in Geralt's neck.
Of course. Of course Jaskier was waiting for Vesemir's approval. Vesemir has been nothing but welcoming to them, if a little awkward and confused with pronouns on occasions, but Jaskier's overall experience with parental figure is less than stellar. Choosing a name in Vesemir's own mother tongue, announcing it, must have been nerve-wracking for them.
Geralt hugs them tightly, giving up on his omelette, and lets them sob into his shoulder. It's good crying. “I'll take the party," they laugh through their tears, sending dziękuję bardzo 💙 in response to Vesemir's message and an assortment of emojis to the others -- which goes to show how emotional they are, as they normally never shut up even in texts.
"I love you," Geralt whispers, already wondering where he can find bouquets of buttercup in the middle of the winter.
The Polish phrases translate to "what a beautiful name" and "thank you so much", huge thanks to Niko for helping me with that.

Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (née Kroeber; #bornonthisday; October 21, 1929 – January 22, 2018) was an American author best known for her works of speculative fiction, including science fiction works set in her Hainish universe, and the Earthsea fantasy series. She was first published in 1959, and her literary career spanned nearly sixty years, producing more than twenty novels and over a hundred short stories, in addition to poetry, literary criticism, translations, and children's books. Frequently described as an author of science fiction, Le Guin has also been called a "major voice in American Letters". Le Guin said she would prefer to be known as an "American novelist".

Saw some people say Ellora Torchia (who was in caceres n only follows liv & kieran bew n that’s why i think it’s slight bs + she’s shooting a film w a culkin brother & jesse eisenberg) might be Netty & i’m just 🥴
Lol, I’ve seen that 😒If she’s in HOTD she’s more than likely playing Sylvenna Sand the lover of Essie(who is the mother of Gaemon Palehair allegedly one of Aegon’s bastards). So it makes sense that she’d be in Caceres since that’s where they filmed the Kings Landing scenes.
Now if people think she’s legitimately Nettles and they think she’s the woman in this picture🙃:
I feel like I’m repeating myself at this point, but it can not be said enough because this fandom has a hard-on for imagining Netty as anyone but a Black woman. So much so that they are actively hoping that they put a non-Black woman in Black face to play a Black woman🙃
The woman in the above photo has Afro hair. If these idiots legitimately think HBO would put an Indian woman in an Afro wig to play Netty rather than hiring an actual Black woman and get 0 backlash from it then they are even more moronic than I thought 🤷🏽♀️
And before some other idiot try’s to say her hair is just fried it’s not an Afro🙃:
Compare Netty’s potential actress's hair to the blonde woman’s hair. Blondies hair is frazzled, but they didn’t kink it up to show she’s been through some things. You can still tell that she has straight hair. So no they aren’t kinking up straight hair. It’s point-blank Afro-textured hair 🤷🏽♀️
#source: a black person who has Afro textured hair and is tired of this fandoms bs 🤦🏽♀️#this fandom is populated by idiots#a major production doing blackface in 2023 🤦🏽♀️#this show would be boycotted to the high heavens#even black people who don’t watch the show would call them out on it#hotd ask#nettles ask#nettles#nettles f&b#nettles asoiaf#netty#hotd#hotd spoilers#bnask#bnasks
