Hippie ispired OOTD

I think that this outfit looks like it's a bit hippie inspired - Feel all I am missing are knee high socks and flowers in my hair. I bought the dress from a blog sale from Rikke/StickySweetDane. And I feel in love with it straight away! But even tough I like wearing bright colors I had problems getting around wearing this dress. I originally wanted to wear this dress with leopard printed tights but of course they tore when I was putting them one. So I had a quick accessories and tights change. 

IGNORE the horrible windy photos in the beginning. I just wanted to give you a better lighting quality and photo quality but we still have wind and rain - in all sh*tty weather. SO I tried retaking them when I got home but you can see the wrinkles from sitting down.

 What I Wore :

Dress - from ASOS Curve / bought it from a blogsale

Tights - from Evans

Vest - from New Look Inspire

Feather Earrings - from ebay

Silver Belt - from ASOS Curve

*I found the earring by using the search words long black feather earrings*

I wore this dress to a girls night dinner party at a friends - we have this tradition that once a month we take turns hosting a dinner party with theme - this girl choose "Gossip Girl". I didn't go all out like I like too do but I felt like a lady so kinda gossip girl like. I am thinking about having a "big bang theory" theme - we have to make the food fit in to your theme - I have only so far figured out that I want to make cheese cake for dessert since Penny works at the cheese factory. And serve drinks in those chemistry looking tubes. Other then than I am still blank, but I have almost 2 months before it's my turn!

What else is new? We (me and my boyfriend) are remodeling! We on of your living rooms done, so we only have the kitchen, 2 bathrooms and the washing room to do. And everything sounds so easy UNTIL you get started! Just painting the doors with, they are natural wood but have gotten so dark with time and I wanted everything to be light, so we painted them with. And one door needs 2 coats of primer and one with paint and the door has too dry for 2 days between coats - and this is just one side! And I have 6 doors left. Thank God I have vacation coming up!

Well enough ranting for now!

Hope everyone is doing well and since we still don't have any sunshine, feel free and send some too me!

I am loving the style of..

If you don't know this beautiful face yet you need too youtube her : Carly Rae Jepsen. She's 26 year old singer/songwriter hot right now with the song : Call Me Maybe. She makes me want to dye my hair dark again. And grow it long! She has so cute relaxing bohemian style with is easy to recreate. 

In this picture below she is wearing a yellow dress paired with a red belt. I bought a yellow dress from ASOS Curve a couple of days ago and was in a little of bit chock when I recived it. It was SO yellow and I had no idea how to style it. I refuse to stay with in the safe zone and pair the dress with black accessories - black and yellow make me think of a bee. So I think I am going to pair it with a red belt, some nude shoes silver accessories and maybe a nude color cardigan depending on what the weather is like. We still have snow - I cant wait until we get better weather, at least dryer weather. I can't stand more water or snow.The yellow dress that I bought is unfortunately sold out but ASOS has at this time 4 other yellow dresses for sale.

Lost in Rain!

I feel so uninspired lately - we keep having snow, snow, rain, storm aaannnd more rain. I don't mind rain every now and then. And snow in the winter time! I just wish we would have nice weather were I could wear something nice instead of a snow suit. So I decided too rebel against the weather and wear colors! And I am wearing the ASOS CURVE Pencil Skirt In Colourblock Stripe. I bought it in a size larger then I usual wear I know its a pencil skirt but I don't like that it's so tight that it shows of all my bumps. I was debating a long time with myself whether to keep it or return it.But decided to keep it - I will make it work!

Let's hope it's a great 2012. I have a lot of plans - try to get my nerves together and apply to a school - not that hard. But the fact that it's in another country is hard. I don't want to move but when you live in a country where the population is about 48.000 people you don't have too many educations to choose from.  I want to be better at posting photos on here - I will be better at providing better photos with better lighting. I want to try to wear less black and blue. I am going to clean out my closet! Before the end of February -  now I have a date so I have to stick to it! ;)

What are your plans for the new year?

OOTD Red'n'Pink

Inspiration! It's a funny thing. Sometimes I get inspiration from people in the street, sometimes a color. Most of the time it's the beautiful people on the internet - Today's outfit came from a photo in the magazine "WOMAN" number 162 - No matter what size you are, open your mind and let inspiration come too you! The dress isn't available any more but they have some dresses in the same model but in different colors, they are so great to wear, the color stays on great, shape is great and the material is light = perfect for summer! the link is here Ellos dress Note! I have this dress in green, black, blue, floral print and pink. If I buy more this year I would definitely go for the one in "lys rosa" light pink. I've fallen in love with neutral colors.

See how serious I am - Twirling is hard in high heels! :)

Pink dress - Ellos size EU 52

Red Cardigan - H&M size EU 42

Belt - H&M size L

Shoes - No Name size UK 7/EU 40

Necklace - H&M

Butterfly ring - H&M adjustable size

other rings - H&M set size L

Earrings - street market

The plus size with all the pink and red - it makes my blue eyes seem even more blue! Have a great Sunday everyone, 12 days too go and I have my final test. WISH ME LUCK!

P.S. Would you like to see more post like this? Where I show you where I get my inspiration from?

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!
