OOTD: Fallen Leaves

Hey Babes!

Hope all is well and that you all had a great weekend! My weekend was wet and dark. Been raining all day today but got to attend a 8am meeting, I know, mad early. But I made it. :) Checked out the street fair in my town, and thought back to last year at this time when I was at the Hasbrouck Heights street fair, it was mad hot that day! It was a beautiful day, sunny, it was truly summer at that time, and I realize I was frikkin' tanning in April cause I had a tan when me and Jay got married the 18th of April. THIS YEAR is so far away from last year when it comes to heat and nice weather, what happen 2013? Why so sad? Where is the heat, the sunshine?! I wonder how this summer is going to be weather wise? Hmm....The street fair was not crowded at all, but I got to score on some cute rings, and of course had some street fair food, I know, I was bad. :P

I need to shape up, I gained 2 pounds this week *sigh* That a 1 kilo which is normal for me, but I really JUST want to loose and not gain. Wish me luck!

 

Went grocery shopping with my Filipino girl friend Gie, which was really nice. I don't know why but I love grocery shopping! Feel me?

Also scored ready to eat meals from "lean cuisine" on SALE half off, awesome! So I'm def. ready for this weekend to get back on track and loosing more pounds, additionally to the ones I gained. To be continued!

 

Don't be a stranger ;)

FASHION INSPO: Lindex Generous

Hi Lovelies!

So my ticket back home to Sweden is officially booked and I can not wait to go home and see my family and friends! Less than 2 weeks left now! YAY!

Also, can't wait to go shopping! :D

So I'm saving every penny so that maybe I can find some great pieces to wear for FFFWEEK next month. I've got my eyes on Lindex that's keept improving their plus size line "Generous".

Above are a few current favorite pieces. It's going to be nice to get to shop some European fashion :)

I'm so excited to go home soon, even though it's only for 10 days. It's going to be the best 10 days ever!

 

Don't be a stranger!;)

LANE BRYANT: Fashion Style-OFF

Hej Babes!

So I was picked by Lane Bryant to be a part of their Fashion Style-OFF, which I'm really excited about! THANK YOU LANE BRYANT! You guys rock! Voting starts the 20th of May and the winner of the Fashion style-off will be announced at Lane Bryant's Blogger/Stylist Event during FFFweek June 19th. So excited! :D

The participates has all received a gift card from Lane Bryant to use at their local Lane Bryant store or online to complete their look. So the week before mothers day I headed of to my local store and took part of their awesome "Buy one get on FREE" promotion that weekend. I then put together this look.
 

 

I didn't have a set idea of what I wanted to wear but I had my eyes on this gorgeous statement necklace that I had spotted when shopping at Lane Bryant the week before with Shay from a Thickgirlscloset! :) I knew I wanted to get that necklace as a statement piece and wear something that would make it shine. I also knew I wanted to do separates, I was leaning towards getting a dress but decided that I wanted to challenge myself so I spotted this super chic button down blouse in a subtle color and print, a simple white tank, and a pair of comfortable capris that would give the outfit some classy-ness. I've never worn or owned a pair of capris before, but seen so many stylish bloggers pull them off before so my mission was to find a pair and dress it with chic pieces to make it look young yet sophisticated. So easy to wear! I love wearing pieces that are easy! Easy to combine other pieces with, that works and looks great! :)
I'm 25 years old now, turning 26 soon and as I'm getting older my style is maturing as well and developing, and I feel that this look for me is so age appropriate. I love it! It's the prefect combination for me, still keeping to bold colors that I love to wear but with a classic touch.

I felt super chic in this outfit, so happy with it!

 

Topped it off with a big fashion watch, stackable bangles, bracelet, and comfortable chic cap-toe heels.

I'll announce to you all when voting starts and if you'd vote for my look that would mean the world to me! :)
Thank you!
XOXO

OOTD: The Icon

Hej Hej!

Hope you all had a lovely mothers day.

I slept in today, woke up around 2PM haha! I was sleeping like a baby. It was wonderful.

And then I just took it easy all day, snapped these outfit photos. I love this outfit, this cardigan is so nice! It's from HM's latest collection "The ICON" it has pockets, open, light weight, and it's print on print which I love! It's a size US size 14 and fits perfectly.

 

I don't know if I mention this earlier but I've been trying to loose some weight, reaching my peak weight at 101 kgs again (227 pounds) I decided to go back to counting calories, I lost about 10 pounds a year ago so I can do it again, can't believe I gained it all again so fast lol. I just want to feel healthier, I eat too much crap and that is why I'm gaining weight slowly everyday. Bags of chips, cookies, little treats, a huuuge meal, etc. Now I'm cutting it down, into smaller healthier meals, and treating myself at the end of the week to whatever I want to eat. So far in about 1 1/5 months I've lost 7 pounds. I'm trying to loose about 2 pounds a week, if I do I will reach my goal weight at a 180 Pounds which is 80 kgs. in about 4 months, IMAGINE! :D Which is still considered being "OBESE" according to the BMI. PPffffhhhhh!!! F*** the BMI. that's me, first of all, loosing 50 pounds which is huge for me personally. And then I need to loose another 40 pounds to be considered "normal weight". It's going to be hard. But I just want to feel healthier and more in shape. I love my body, but I don't want to catch my breath every time I walk up that little hill to our house everyday, I'm SOOOO out of shape it's not even funny :P

Wish me luck.

Hi Lovelies!

I'm so excited to share with you all that I've finally booked a flight ticket home to Sweden to see my family and friends! YAY! :D It cost me a fortune, you could say, but I got my hands on a great ticket. 30th of May to 10th June which is only in a couple of weeks or so. I will be home for my little sisters graduation and my brothers birthday. It's going to be a somewhat busy June, I'll be going home to Sweden, then getting back to work for a week and then 17th of June FFFWEEK starts and that's going to be an intense and exciting week as well. Can't wait, this summer is going to be awesome, I can just feel it! I can not wait! :)

 

I love this top from Ann Taylor, a more artistic take on a classic polka dot. It's so comfortable and easy to wear. Also, rocking my beloved Stiletto jeans from Torrid! They always look amazing on, they never get baggy or stretched out. They are the best frikkin' jeans ever! EVER! :P

Also, the heels I'm wearing are one of my thrift shop steal from a few weeks ago. They were only were only 1.99$. These heels gives me the Barbie vibes. Loving it!

 

Hope you all have a great weekend!

The Snugg

Hey Babes!

Hope all is well!
 

A few days ago I received this awesome thing called the "Snugg" What is that you might wonder, well, it's a super chic and convenient Ipad case. The company that that created this masterpiece that is a must have for all iPad owners is called "The Snugg". It's a must have especially for those who desperately need a case that not only protects your iPad but also serves multiple functions. Take my mother in law for example (she's so adorable) she's always on her iPad, she isn't the most tech savvy person but she loves playing around with her iPad every single day she uses it for it's various apps and functions which makes her everyday routine so much easier for her. She was just missing the perfect case for it. I see her uncomfortably sitting in the kitchen, having to HOLD the iPad to use it or place it on the table and then strain her neck looking down at it. So when "The Snugg" contacted me to do this review I had to accept. I don't own my own iPad but sure, I would love to have one, lol, but I knew it would help out my mother in law a lot cause she desperately needs a great cover case and also, a great opportunity to use her a little bit as a "guinea pig" in this review. Honest opinions are golden, and she is so thankful for this case and it's functions.
 

Decided to go for a color that I've grown to love, PINK! This iPad case cover in pink leather can be positioned in two different ways, lying down and standing up...in an comfortable position that makes it super easy for you to use when reading, typing or viewing things on your iPad. It also have a stretch band where you can place your wrist and hold the iPad securely in your hand. Love it!
 

And let me tell you, my mother in law loves it too! ;)

She's so cute, loving her new Snugg case cover from TheSnugg.com

 

You can just tell that the quality of this product is great, it's sturdy, the colors the case covers come in are of great shades, the material is soft and smooth. "The Snugg" don't only offer Ipad cases but carry a huge range of other electronic accessories. Go check it out! All for an affordable price! :)

 

Their products are also available on Amazone, click here!

FFFWEEK: Youtheary Khmer

Hello Everybody!

Maybe you've seen the latest released list of some of the designers showing at the INDI Designer Showcase this FFFWEEK, and I just wanted to share one of my favorite designer that among with a few others I'm looking the most forward to seeing at the Showcase the 21st June, got your ticket to the show yet? You can buy it here! ;)

 

SO! I checked out the list of Designers, and WOW I can not wait to see the show!

I really like Youtheary Khmer's designs, so what I would wear on an everyday basis. So everyday chic, vibrant and colorful! Lately I've grown to LOVE pink! So I'm loving the pink maxi skirt, I'm falling in love with yellow, so I'm adoring the yellow white lace pencil skirt!

Their collection is affordable and easy to wear, which is a WIN WIN for me personally!

They are showing among other amazing Designers, like for example RUE 114, NAKIMULI and Amiie. Which are three of my other favorites on this INDI Designer list.
Loving Youtheary Khmer's looks as much as I do? Which one is your favorite?

Don't be a stranger! ;)
XOXO
