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!

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!

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 OOTD

Not much to report from the Faroe Islands. I've been doing some online shopping so I have some items to show you in the up coming weeks. Today I have a simple OOTD to show you. Remember If the pictures are a bit small you can click on them and they become bigger. Hope you all have a great sunday!

What I wore :

Gray/white/black scarf - thrifted

Leopard clutch - H&M

Pale pink tunica - H&M BiB size EU50

White tank top - H&M size XL

Blue Jeggings - H&M BiB size EU50

black ballerinas - Graceland size EU 41

I bought the jeggings, the tunica and the clutch 14 days ago and everything is

already sold out online! I was going to be better at showing you readers where

to get the items I am wearing. But this time it's a fail!

1st. picture - close up of my ballerinas

2nd picture - I had a hairband with a bow in my hair

3rd picture - I wanted summer nails so I went with a neon green

over a silver base, they become metallic green. I love this color

reminds me of the cars from the fast and the furious.

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
