OOTD - ASOS coral

What I wore :

ASOS Curve top with dip back - sold out 

Denim Shorts - from South - Last summer item

Arabic Scarf from the 90's! So we call it vintage

Socks - home made by my mother in law

Sneakers - from Graceland - last summer item

Mule Bag - from smilende suzie - from the 90's

The top is unfortunately sold out but they have them in a similar version but with longer sleeves and in the colors blue and grey. I have this top in black, coral and a light blue version and they are SO comfortable to wear and can be worn down or dressed up.

I bought a pair of cute owl knee socks that I am going to pair with my light blue top. But this could  be worn with the gray top too. And the socks are on sale right now - score! I used to hate it when people wore socks with sandals or strappy shoes but I am starting too like the look more and more.

Until the next time - stay happy!

**UPDATE**
forgot to mention that the black tights are from Evans. They are pretty share but I like that, they have enough color to hide the little bruises I have left from the car accident. They were cheap too, 3 for something. Don't remember, I bought the for my office Christmas party in December - I just checked they are still available. 

Happy New Year!

What I Wore :

Blue dress from ASOS - on sale right now!

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.

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)

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!

Chinese food and no more exam

So I passed my last test and in 1½ month I will be a educated sale assistant. And don't ask me what I will be doing after that - I want to work and earn money - oh I so miss money! :o) But I also just inquired about a assistant job at a art and commercial agency - I am exited too see what the future brings. Well anyways to the OOTD - I wore this today. Me and my boyfriend went for some Chinese food, neither of us felt like cooking - it's weekend! It's a big festival in the town that my boyfriend is from so I think we will be taking a road trip there and have some fun.

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.

Black Cardigan - Vera Moda, size XL

Black Tights - Evans, size 2
