Sunday brunch


So my boyfriend made it up to me to day and took me out for brunch in the city. We just got the traditional brunch with bread rolls, egg, bacon, chees and all that jazz! It was jummie! The only downside was there were A LOT of kids running around like crazy! Don't get me wrong, I like kids but the brunch place could have done a little more planning - there was a chocolate fountain with marshmallow = a lot of sugar hyped kids. We got some great chocolate cake and mixed berry pie for desert. 2 x jummie! We then decided to go for a walk in the park and visit my parents after. My parents weren't home so we just played a little with my fathers German Sheppard named Tór. And drove back home. The walk in the park was nice - my boyfriend is what is considered normal size and I'm a bigger plus size. When we were walking' around he got out of breath fast while I didn't have any problems. In his job he sit a lot and works with computers while I work in a store and do a lot of lifting and walking around. The right size isn't always healthy. I know I could be better too my body and I am trying. Just haven't found the right motivation for loosing weight. I decided I would start loving who I am now instead of putting myself down all the time. 


I am wearing a black and white rose print tunic from Evans that I bought from eBay. I don't know how I really feel about it. I loved it on the ebay doll. But on me I think it only make me look bigger. I don't know if it's the big contrast print or something else. But next time I think I will be wearing a belt or a vest. I am also wearing some plain black legging I bought from Torrid. The boots are from Evans - but I bought them from ebay. They are still for sale on ebay - Just write "Evans Black Flat Boots" in the search engine. I think I paid about 18 £ for mine. The jacket is thrifted.

For accessories I am wearing a brown, a red and a orange bangle. The earrings are red buttons that I superglue some DIY silver studs too. I am also wearing one of these cheap silicon watches that I bought from a street sale for 10£.

I will link my youtube videos too this channel sometime in this week so you can see what I've done for hair and makeup. It's nothing fancy. I need a haircut desperately but I dont know If I should cut it all off! Or just keep it long. I've had long hair for a while. And it's so boring most of the time I just keep it in a ponytail. I want to cut it short and in the back kind of have it like a bob haircut but keep my bangs long so when I feel a little punkish like I was born I can make it into a faux hawk. I don't know - what do you think? I don't care that much about my hair as long as it's there. I've had it pink, I've had black hair - orange from bleaching it back to blond. And sometimes I've shaved it all off just because. I think I will try to call my hairdresser sometime this week - You never know if I will have a new hairdo next time I post a blog

Anyways I leave you blog world with a ultra cute photo of my parents dog. If you wondering about the face he has in this picture it's because I was trying to get him too look at the camera and in order too do that I made a super high squeaky sound

Date night ended with a drunk call on Skype


Well by the title you can kinda guess what happen. I was getting dressed - ready for a date night with my boyfriend when we got a call on skype from two friends in Denmark, who were drinking. Well 4 hours later - the movie had started and ended and my boyfriend was sleeping. So I decided to blog a little and create a blog banner for my blog. I also uploaded a video to YouTube - It's just a video where I do my makeup and set my hair. Gettin' ready for a night out with my sweatheart - that ended in fail!

The pink top is a bright pink top from Vera Moda it's a European size XL. The black cardigan is also from Vera Moda and is also a size XL. The cardigan is a sheer wool material. It's OLD! And one of my favourite cardigans to wear. The black belt is a belt that came with a black skirt I bought from Yours Clothing. The neclace is from - again - Vera Moda and is a gold chain with a gold swallow and a bigger black swallow. I dont shop that much at Vera Moda since they only have clothes up to a EU size 44 and I am a size 52. But they have a line called basic where the tops come in 3 different lenghts - yeah for apple shapes like me! Most tops end upp as short tube tops because I am wide and tall!

The skirt is from simply be and is multipul layers of ruffel. I choose not to wear tights or leggings this time since I had nice and shaved leggs *giggles!* I dont mind showing off my legs - The flat pumps are from Ellos and I have had them since 2005. They were cheap! So cheap I got them in bright red and cobalt blue too. I like shopping at Ellos - you just have too be carefull - some of there items are sometime made of crappy material so after two washes it can look like something you have had for years. But they have great shipping and returning service.

I am wearing a silver butterfly ring from H&M, it's about 2 to 3 years old. The orange ring is from eBay. I buy a lot of jewelry from eBay and from H&M - I lose my jewelry a lot so I don't spend a lot of money on expensive jewelry. The bangles are also from H&M they are from last summer and all belong together - it was a set of 12 different bangles. That's all I have to say about my outfitt for tonight I will try to post two outfitts a week. I work in a store and wear a uniform daily. So I don't get to wear som many cute outfitts as I want too.  

Hope everyone has a good weekend!
