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.

I found my inspiration again

So I have been gone for a while. And getting back into blogging has been something I haven't been looking forward too. And let me explain why! I love this blogging showing you pictures, telling you a little story from the day and most of all the response. But I have a skinny family that sees my plus size - my fat! as a negative thing. After the last blog post I had a big fight with my mother. She keeps buying me clothes that are 2 sizes too big because she think my clothes fit too tight and I shouldn't show my fat. It's shameful and should be hidden. And than I get mad and defend myself. So typically she wants to make thing right, and she does so by suggesting that we get me started loosing weight by entering a gym together. Or the newer trend - a operation to shrink my stomach. And that's what made me hit rock bottom. I just started too cry my eyes out and stood up and left the room. My poor boyfriend had to get in between me and my mother. I forgive her. I just keep thinking, she doesn't know any better. She's ignorant. But I know she's not. When she was 20'ish she too was big and she didn't loose the weight because she said to herself "now I am going too lose it," she lost the weight from stress. She was a single mom with 3 kids and a full time job.  

I am really proud of my mother but still major pissed off sometimes. I hate that she sees my bigness as a problem and needs to change me physically. I know I am big, I know I need too loose weight. I also know I have a lot of emotional problems I need to work throw and I know I am a comfort eater. I feed my emotions food. I thank God that I have a great boyfriend that loves me no matter what. I was a size EU size 40 when we meet and after a lot of family problems, hanging around bad people, depression and doing a job with a evil boss for too long I am now a EU size 50. 

But I am getting better, I have a job a love. I work with great people. I have great friends. I have hobbies that make me go out and enjoy life. I no longer stay in all day feeling sorry for myself. I am ready to move on and you know what I've gotten to know so far? I like and love me now. And I don't mind the weight. I want to live healthier in the future but that doesn't guaranty that I will be a skinny person.

Anyways - on to the "OOTD - Outfit Of The Day"

Peach color Jacket - ASOS size UK 22

T-Shirt Leopard print - Evans size UK 22/24

Blue jeans - Evans size UK 22

Sneakers - Graceland size UK 7

Ring - my favorite as always 

Silver watch - Pieces/Vera Moda

Gold Swallow Necklace - Vera Moda

I wore some blush from Sleek named "golden rose"

Black mascara from The Body Shop

And the red nail polish is from Kleancolor and

named "red alert no. 81"

I wore this outfit to go shopping with my boyfriend. We went looking for a new couch but didn't find one we liked. So I dragged my boyfriend to go shopping for new nail polish. My new obsession is Kleancolor nail polish. I love that it's cheap but good quality, the brush applicator is amazing! And the color variation is to die for. I also had a gift certificate too a jewelry store so I went in to buy a watch :) I feel in love with the lime green one, the brand is "Mango". I already have the watch in purple and white. They are so cute that I want one in every color!

 

Sorry for the extreme long blog post today. I had a lot to get of my shoulders and I promise I will be a better blogger from now on. I am going to a birthday party tonight and I will have another outfit post ready for you tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone!

Love Karina.

P.S. 

I am also going to get a tattoo next week. So check back for the pictures from my first tattoo!

I am so existed!

OOTD - Disney & Pink Nails

Hi Dude!

I don't feel like writing much here today. I am so tired, just came back from Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Must say - not as good as the first 3. I felt like there wasn't much story in it. The first 3 had this way of making you think you knew the storyline but the it had this huge twist and you became surprised.

Anyways here are photos of today's OOTD.

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

ohh the drama and the pain..

I tried to be one of the boys and lift to heavy at work a couple of days ago and I have been in pain since! So I have been away from the blog for a while. But I have a photo post today *YEAH me!* Me and my boyfriend decided to eat out today. The sun was shining and we didn't feel like staying home, so we went for a drive to the city and a walk, we ate some Chinese food and bought a DVD.

This is me ;o) I am wearing a old military style jacket from Torrid. I bought mine from eBay. It's a US size 22/24 - it's a bit big and has a lot of stretch to it. It's prob. about 3 years old. It's from when I just discoverd that there is a world of plus size colthing online and the joy of shopping! Thank God and the banks for VISA. Please don't notice my not at all cute hair. I have had the total bad hair year! But I have a date with my hairdresser next week and I still have no ide what I want to do! I feel like getting it cut short and wild. Something fun! I've had long hair for years now and feel like a change is needed. But I am afraid it will make my face look even more heavy! But that's what the hairdresser is there for, right? Well lets hope so...

I am also wearing a white t-shirt from Vera Moda, it's a size XL. I has super short sleeves so I don't like wearing it with out a jacket or a cardigan since I have my arms. It's not because they are big, my arms are actually firm since I do a lot of lifting, it's just because I am so pale and large, I never get any color from the sun. I always just burn and turn red. But I have a tattoo design in my head and I am going to go to the local tattoo artist here and talk to him this summer. I want color and fun design.

I paired the jacket and tshirt with a pair of baggy jeans from Zizzi - I think the designer is Jay or Zay... I never remember. Sorry for the pictures being so dark. I bought a tripod now so I dont have to make my boyfriend take photos. The black blob in the photo is my cat "Joey" after the caracter from Friends. They are both really happy for food. I am also wearing to cheap braclets, one red and one orange and a pair of sneakers I also bought from ebay. They are the brand Graceland and can be found at stores like Deichman. That's all I have to share with you for now.

See you all soon....!

(maybe I'll have shorter hair! *SQUEEEK*)
