*GRRRR*

my playground, eBay!

eBay truly is a magical fun place for people with PayPal accounts! Today I got bored, home alone, boyfriend away on business trip and I ended up on eBay and found a cute outfit. All the items are around 11 to 19 £ - all the items were NWT or NWOT - in real life that means New With Tags or New Without Tags. I already own ankle boots and black cardigans - but defiantly am thinking about buying the tights, tunic and earrings :o) I would both wear this on a night out with friends and to a office work place.

Until next time, stay happy!

Christmas 2011 OOTD

Well kinda the outfit from Christmas. It's the last day of Xmas and tomorrow it's back too work. My family has gone back to the town I grew up in and it's all quite again. So now me and my boyfriend have rented at movie from iTunes and are relaxing on the sofa enjoying home made candy.

I don't know about you all but I am never eating this much food again! Well not in this year anyways ;o) Again merry Christmas everyone! Hope you have had a great one with lots of love.

Gray tunic top - H&M BiB - old

Floral scarf - from Vera Moda - in store

Black skirt - from H&M - available online

Black sequin vest - from South - eBay

Merry Christmas!

..or as we say Gleðilig Jól! I have had a busy couple of days. Me and my boyfriend hosted for the first time Christmas at our house. So we have had our hands full with making dinner, deserts and baking + entertaining our family. My father tried for the first time - the Wii! Needless to say he had a great time. I don't need to worry about what to get him for his birthday ;o) 

I must say I have been spoiled rotten this year. I think I got way expensive gift and all gift I wished for! I will post pictures of the gifts on a later date. Today is what we call the 2nd day of Christmas (the 26th of December) we in Europe open our presents on the eve of Christmas (the 24th) - one day before the people in the states - why? I do not know. I have to Google that later. 

I am, as I am writing this, making dinner - sheep meat in a special faroese way - the sheep are slathered and we hang the meat up in a barn like house for about 6 weeks to dry. It's something in the faroese air, I think the salt from the sea that gives the meat a strong smell and taste that most foreigners don't like but it makes our mouths water. I will provide photos later too :o) If only we had smell-o-vision.

Today I have two old OOTD's to show you. It's two laid back outfits that I wore two weeks ago but never posted because I didn't think they were all that special. But I have been a bad blogger these days and haven't been taking photos. But I will take photos of my Christmas outfit today and post them later or tomorrow. Until then hope you are all having a great Christmas :o)

Christmas Party with the Girls

Christmas time!

So last weekend I had a Christmas party with my friends. We went to a local restaurant a had dinner after that we went to one of the girls that lived nearby. 

I do have to to give my apologies for not being that much around lately. But it's December and I work in a store. Which means working everyday and long days so I don't have a lot of spare time right now. I can't wait until the 24th (yes we in Europe celebrate Christmas a day early!) 

Until the next time - stay safe in these cold and dark days!

And thanks for stopping by.

What I wore :

Purple tights - size 2 from Evans

Orange midi skirt - size 24 from ASOS Curve

Black body stock from a local store

Leopard cardigan - thrifted

On my nails I have two colors from Kleancolor - I have too get back

to you on the color names. I have short term memory lately.

Necklace is from Vera Moda and I've had it for years. The dog you have seen before,

it's my fathers German Shepard - Tór. He is about 7 years old and was a Christmas

present for my dad from me and my sister. So I thought he should re-appear in this post.

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!

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!

OOTD - Tropical overdose

Not much to share with you today. I went to a birthday party last night and I had fun. Today I am going to clean out my closet and go throw my shoes. I have way too many shoes and some of them can be thrown away. No need to have worn down shoes stored away, right? Have a nice Sunday everyone!

 

What I Wore 

Turquoise blazer - H&M size L

Zebra print tunic - Evans size UK22/24

Black tights - Zizzi size EU50

Black thigh high boots -  Evans size UK8

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
