Window browing on eBay - studds version

So I am home sick and decided too brows eBay just for fun - I found some fun items I wanted too share. I hope everyone is having a great weekend

Custom Marvel shorts up too a size UK22 - that's a 48/50 in Europe

Studded tiger head long t-shirt top. Up to a UK size 30/32 

 This awesome studded jacket from Yours Clothing - they have a eBay account too

plus size cartoon tights

   

I bought these tights of a eBay seller named stockingtopsuk.  The seller has a lot of different, cute and wild tights in plus sizes from UK 8 to UK 32. The ones I bought are a size 28-32 and I recommend to size up. I have experienced before (more than once) that the cheaper leggings and tights run smaller in size. They were 8£ and overseas shipping was 1,69£. This is probably not that cheap everywhere in the world but where I live I pay about 17£ for a pair of plus size tight and they come in standard color ; black or brown. And I like funky print and colors - they make me happy! The only downside to these tights is that they have a low rise but they stretch a lot.

The shipping was actually great it took a little more than a week for the tights to arrive and that's fast shipping for what I am used to. When I order from ASOS it usually takes 2 to 3 weeks for my items to arrive.

Below are a couple of different tights in the plus size range.

That was all for this time and until next time - stay happy!

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!

 

What I Wore :

Black tights from yoursclothing.co.uk

Skirt from ASOS Curve

Black top from ASOS Curve

White belt from eBay

Green cardigan from H&M (in stock)

Nail polish :

Chicaboomboom from H&M (in stock)

Makeup :

It's all from the 120 eyeshadow palette you can order from eBay

Black eyeliner and black mascara

** UPDATE 13-03-2012
I forgot to mention that with the skirt you get this super cute bright green skinny belt. It's the one that on the photo of the skirt and the skirt too has loop holes on the side to secure the belt and make sure that the belt doesn't move too much around.

OOTD - ♥

Not that this OOTD is my absolute favorite but I decided too call it ♥ because of the blouse. The blouse I found on eBay and won the action and payed about 6 £ (36 DDK) with shipping which is nothing compared too what I have too pay for clothes in the Faroe Islands. The blouse is by Marks & Spencer and a UK size 20 - I usually buy a size 22 or 24 but in this case I just really wanted it and took a chance - Which I am glad I did now. I am a strong believer of "make it work" when it comes to curves and plus size - rules are meant to be broken!

* Please note that everything is old or thrifted in this OOTD*

What I Wore :

gray leggings - from Zizzi

Black boots - from Evans

skirt - actually a under-dress from ASOS Curve

(came with the lace dress with 3/4 sleeves)

Blouse - Marks & Spencer

Turquoise cardigan - from H&M

Black Jacket - from H&M 

The second two photos made me laugh so loud! Exactly the same pose in both and even the same gangster wannabe look in both of them. You have too excuse me but I forgot to take the photos before going out and had to take them when I got home at 2 in the morning. I went on a double date with my boyfriend, a friend and her boyfriend. We went and got some pizza and then back to their place and watched a movie.

So this was my OOTD from last night. I am thinking about asking a friend of mine to go and watch the new Sherlock Holms movie that is theaters now. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Black tights from Yours Clothing

Black Cardigan from South - old

Gold metallic belt from ASOS - on sale!

Gold bead necklace - eBay

Gold bird necklace - eBay

Purse - Christmas gift from my dad

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?

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.

What I Wore :

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

Grey/Nude boots - from eBay

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!

My dream outfit - September 2011

Red Gaga dress - Yours Clothing - 22 £
Black/White Tights - Yours Clothing - 8 £
Black Gloves - Yours Clothing - 8 £
Black Waist Belt - Yours Clothing - 10 £
Multi Punk Bangles - eBay - 4,84 £
Black Ankle Boots - eBay - 22,98 £

So I was on a group forum for plus size girls trying to buy fashionable clothes. And a girl was talking about the GAGA dress from yours clothing. I asked her for a link since I didn't know what dress they were chatting about and she showed me this beautiful red dress and I straight way thought about one of the dresses shown in season 7 of project runway. I feel in love with the look as soon as the model stared to walk down the runway.

I have before bought red dresses. 3 times before to be exacted. The first one I sold on eBay, the second one I gave away to a friend and the 3rd one is still hanging in my closet unused. It's from Evans - I ordered it from online, tried it on and didn't really love the way it fit. I think I am going to order the dress, tights and belt and wear the outfit! What do you think?

Sunday Sunshine!!

It's finally summertime! =) I wore a dress out in public and with no dance to go too! That's first one for me. I've worn skirt or long dresses, but never that was that short. But I have made a deal with myself to try clothes I want to wear but never have the bravery too do. This is me and my boyfriend. I made him go for a walk since the sun was shining. Poor thing! You should have heard him. I think there have to be more walk for us two in the future! I wore as little accessories as possible. I hoped to get some color from the sun, but no! Even though my skin is fair I never get any color. But never mind. I am used to being pale.

What I Wore : 


Purple Dress - South, size UK 24

Black Cardigan - Vera Moda, size XL

Black Tights - Evans, size 2

White Sunglasses - eBay Unisex Ski glasses

Shoes - Graceland, Size 40 

Ring, Lucky Brand

Bracelets, all from H&M - some are over 4 years old.

And on my nails I have a combination of these nail polishes

 

old friends meet again...

So last night I went to a party at a old friend of mine. The people at the party were just people that used to hang out together 10 years ago but with time have lost the daily contact. It was nice! Weird seeing everybody so grown up! But I must admit I have a bit of a hang over today so this is a short blog post.

What I wore :

Black Cardigan - H&M BiB, size XL

White T-shirt with print - H&M BiB, size XL

Jeans Shorts - Ebay, size UK 22

Purple tights - Evans, size 2

Shoes - Graceland, size EU 40

I wore my favorite rings - the swirl one I actually found on the street a couple of years ago and I love it! The butterfly one is from H&M and a size L. And some random news - I won this dress on ebay while writing this blogpost! *SQUEEEK* sound of happiness! I was too late to buy it when it was on sale at ASOS Curve. I want to wear it with some lime green tights and a black short cardigan... Can't wait until I get it in the mail!

Happy Weekend Fashion Lovers

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
