OOTD - Flying Bird

The t shirt print in it's awesomeness. I bought it from eBay NWT (New With Tags) 2 years ago but have never worn it. I've taken it of the hanging rack several times before but never worn it. I don't know why it's just never been the item I was looking for. But today I threw on the green tank top and the parrot print seem to work nice with it. I forgot too take a photo of the accessories I was wearing but I had on a lilac purple round ring and a silver swirl on on the other hand. I also wore my silver watch.
  
The top - South UK size 22 - from eBay
Green top - Vera Moda size XL - from Vera Moda
Jeans - UK size 22 - from eBay
I so realize that my nail do not match my outfit at all! *LOL* but I did my nails last night while I was talking to a friend of mine on Skype. She was doing hers since she has a hot date tonight so I thought I would join her and do mine too. The yellow is a H&M nail polish - I think you can still get it in some stores, it's called "Going Bananas". The blue (looks green on yellow) is from Barry M and I think it's called Blue Sky.
And this is my dog, Falk. He tried to get into all the photos so I tough he should get his very own photo. He's 5 years old and a rescue dog. His mother is a golden retriever and his father is a Labrador. Anyway that's me for now.

P.S. Did you notice I am not wearing blue and no cardigan! haha... progress!

Never again regret..

So I regret not buying this from Evans last year when it was in stock. I listen to everybody other than myself. And I shouldn't always listen to everyone else. Most of my friends like classic black clothes or have this bohemian style while I have this raven quality too myself I love sparkles and bright colors and fell in love with this tunic dress straight away but all my friends told me that I would never use it because it's to bright and sparkling. So I didn't buy it - and regret it as soon as the item sold out online. I have since been trolling eBay for one. Without luck :o/

So my advice is - do you love it and think you will wear it!? - do you have the money?! GO for it! Listen too yourself, and try to challenge yourself and love yourself. People around you mean well but they don't always know you and your body. I leave you with a beautiful photo of the garment.




**UPDATE** thank God and creative people for eBay. I managed to get my hands on one of these!

My own personal challenge

So I have been reading my own posts and I've realized something. I seem to really like cardigans and the color blue. So I have set myself a challenge - in the next 5 OOTD posts I wont have a cardigan and I try to keep away from the color blue!

OOTD - Grey Minnie


Hi guys and dolls :)

So I woke up this morning and we had snow - it's gone now but it's that cold outside and I don't feel like dressing in nice dresses and cute outfits. I feel like putting on all the clothes I own! But I tried my best to put together a cute casual comfy outfit to show you. 

What I Wore :

Grey boots from Atmosphere, size UK8 - bought last winter
Black/Grey striped draped cardigan - from New Look Inspire (got it off eBay)
Grey Minnie Mouse t shirt - from Yours Clothing - may still be in stock!
Blue jeggings - from H&M BiB - still for sale on the webpage
Black scarf - from Vera Moda 

As I've written before I have a couple days off and I don't know what to do with myself - and this is day one. I keep telling myself to remember to sign off wishing everyone a good weekend. That's what this feel like - a looooonnnng weekend :) But weekend are super nice so I wont complain anymore. I am living you with a song this time. It's been driving me crazy, I love the song - so regret watching the video - I now see in my mind the guys junk whenever I hear the song on the radio. If you've seen the video you know what I mean! 



Have fun!

OOTD - Rain Blue Pants

What I Wore 
Blue Pants from ASOS Curve, bought this summer.
Black Cardigan from Vera Moda, from their last winter collection.
White tank top from Vera Moda, from their basic collection.
Black Scarf from Vera Moda, bought last winter.

Hiya there! I just wanted too show you what I wore in this rainy dull day. I went to the shopping center with two of my friends and we ate some lunch did a little shopping and goofed around. I bought these pants from ASOS this summer. the first pair of pants I've gotten from them. I must say I should prob. have sized down. These are a size UK24 that I normally wear but feel they could have been a bit snugger. My sister will be arriving from Denmark on Monday and I am so exited :) So I have a lot of cleaning and getting stuff ready.

Have a great weekend everyone!

My newest buy - Hawaii jacket


So this baby is my newest buy. I bought it of eBay for 7$ but the shipping was even higher 15$! So in total 22$ - in my currency it came too about 132 DDK witch is quite cheap. I just hate it when I pay crazy more for shipping price rather than the item its self.
I will probably pair it with a pair of blue jeans leggings or boot-cut jeans. I want to try a black loose tank top underneath or a boyfriend like t shirt with a v neck and 3/4 sleeves. The jacket also has 3/4 sleeves so it would probably work it a wore full sleeves underneath. Give the outfit a little more edge to it. Since the jacket and the outfit has so much cool tones to it I would pair it with some gold accessories and keep the makeup pinkish and peachy. The blush from Sleek - Golden Rose would work great with this look. Since it's getting really cold outside (we already have snow!) I would pair it with a boots. I've edited a photo for you with the outfit I have in my mind. I can't wait for this jacket to arrive! But being used to international shipping and living on small islands I know it will take up too 4 weeks. 

Sorry for not posting any OOTD this week. I've been feeling under the weather - almost sick but not really. I have one more week of work than 14 days of summer vacation! Yes, I know summer vacation in the winter time but my sister is coming from Denmark with her husband and their kids + my best friend Rani is also coming to visit from Denmark + my boyfriend has the time off +  me and my boyfriend have been together for 10 year on the 20th! + it's my birthday on the 21th - I am turning 28 years this time! I have a lot of tings coming up and a lot of excuses to wear cute clothes and not just my work uniform. 

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Have you meet...?

So the beautiful blogger Natalie Madeleine from Fat and Fancy is from Denmark and is a plus size fashion blogger with a cute name and a cute look. She has lately shifted over too a modern rockabilly pinup look. She finds clothes I have myself and dresses them in this pinup rockabilly way that I would never have thought too do. She makes me want to be more adventures when dressing. I think that you should jump over to her blog and check out the sweetie pie herself and she also has a great giveaway coming up so be sure to subscribe to her ;-)

see ya soon dolls and guys!
