SEEKING FOR UTILITY VEST

O.M.G! Speaking of fall another piece I really want for the season is not only an utility jacket but also an utility VEST! So frikkin' awesome! Don't you agree? For those "not so cold" fall days.

It started off with me spotting this girl coming by the cafe when I was working that totally rocked it, I complimented it and just HAD TO KNOW where she got it from....Charlotte Russe, good luck I thought, for me! I'm never gonna find a size that fits me there and she told me she got it a loooong time ago, like years ago, I was like Aaaah!!! I need to find myself another one. Somwhere, wherever doesnt matter! :D Well I found this online from Ralph Lauren, super chic! I don't really care for the furr and stuff, so minus that, and it's exactly what I'm looking for. SO this vest is 180$ something, I'm like heck no, even though I love it, if I had the money...I'd buy it in a heart beat. 

SOOOO!! What I'm trying to say is...IF you know where I can get my hands on a army green utility vest please let me know! I'd appreciate it so much! Finders fee!! :P LOL.

Do you like the look for fall?

Splurge VS Save

BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS!!

I NEED MY ANKLE BOOTS FOR THE FALL AND WINTER! :D

I totally love love love the Acne pistol boots (Acne swedish designer brand fyi ;) super cool.)

But they are $570! Which is a little less then half my paycheck a month so...I don't really have the finances right now to spend that much money on one pair of boots even though I love the look of them! SO! I found a few more affordable options. ;) and they are all under $50.

FYI :P I already bought the HM ones! One tip, go one size up! ;) HM's shoes tend to run small.

Thanks for reading and following!

Stay tuned!

Pieces that speak to me...

All pieces from HM.

For fall/winter HM really offers what I'm exactly looking for for the coming seasons. 

Since I'm super busy working now I need easy to wear pieces for when I'm (finally) off :P pieces that you can just throw on and still look super chic. I think I've mention this before, well I'm pretty sure I have, that I will be living in an over size knit top with leggings and a pair of cool boots. Added edgy and/or blingy accessories and a dark plum shade of lip color. Aaah! ;)

HM's recently released pieces really speaks to me!

I already bought the Wine red knit top in a the off white color which I LOVE! so I'm gonna get them in all the colors LOL, size L has a great over size fit. :D

Which pieces speak to you?

Feature: Megastripe Bolero from SONSI Re/Dress

SONSI was kind enough to send me this amazing Megastripe Bolero from their recently launched Re/Dress, a plus size retailer that features fun vintage-inspired dresses, sweaters, tops and bottoms. 

I'm extremely excited and honored to be one of the 5 specially picked bloggers to feature selected styles from the Re/Dress Collection. Thank you so much SONSI for picking me! :D

Megastripe bolero from Re/Dress at SONSI.com, Hi Lo top, Denim shorts from Forever21+, Boots from BOGO K-Mart, Necklace from HM.

I instantly fell in love with the look of this bolero, the look of almost a blazer and the black and white stripes had me sold. You can never go wrong with a black and white stripe piece in your wardrobe and as fall is just around the corner this piece is a perfect transition piece from summer to fall, wear it with a scarf and you're good to go out and about.

The fit and feel is amazing, it stretches and hugs your body gently. there's nothing worse then a tight "jacket" where you can't move your arms, this is not the case. This bolero has great movement too, I'm really happy with this piece and I highly recommend it to anyone that are looking for an easy to wear piece that's fun and funky.

I decided to make it extra fun by pairing it with shorts (btw on the first day of Autumn:P) and ankle boots, and a sheer Hi Lo top to add that extra edgyness.  

Thank you so much SONSI for sending me this piece, I really love and adore it!

And hope you all enjoyed this feature and review ;)

My favorite Peplum top!

Another work outfit! :) yay!

This is one of my favorites because it's an easy to wear statement outfit. You have the interesting print skirt, paired with a simple black peplum top with an added belt for pop of color with a matching pink lip ;) I really feel like I'm dressing like "ANN".

So this is my favorite favorite peplum top! I got it in black AND navy blue. Love that it has long sleeves, great for fall and a high neck collar so you can add a fun statement necklace. I highly recommend it, it comes in an XL. But it's stretchy and comfortable and I got some room still wearing it. :)

Also showing off my *hrrm* crocs, they are my saviors working on the floor for hours straight. So easy on the heels, great cushion...they look super childish but thank god I can get away with it! Them being black and fairly simply designed like a ballerina flat they get shadowed by the rest of the outfit, thank godness!

I need to buy another more stylish pair of comfortable work shoes. Got any tips? :)

Thanks for reading and following!!

XOXO *hearts*

My beloved Stiletto Acid wash!

It's been clearly stated already that I LOVE TORRID'S STILETTO JEANS!

They are worth every penny and I am getting the purple and black pant too!! :P

YES! I WILL! and all the other colors and washes that will be coming out, I....will....buy them!

So these are my third pair of stiletto's that I own, the acid wash! I know "So 80's" (like that would be a negative? lol Noooo.) but whatever, they rock and are super dope! ;) You just have to NOT play it safe sometimes, we often do when it comes to prints and bright colors on just pants and jeans! I know....I know...I used to be one of them, now I own these, another pair of acid wash, colored denim as well as a black and white cropped pattern pant from Ann Taylor :) I'm really having fun with it!

Decided to pair it with a rather raunchy top from Dots and match that with the leopard pattern stiletto heels, so in your face...not really what I always would go for but what the heck! You only live once! ;)

Thanks for reading and following!!

Wish list from Simply Be

I'm currently obsessed with Simply Be's fashion pieces!

For fall/winter I need easy-to-wear, statement-pieces! Preferably a over size knit paired with leggings and boots/booties. :P OR! A statement dress paired with thighs. either way, the pieces need to go with an awesome jacket/coat! And Simply Be really has a lot of excellent outwear to offer! I keep going "I love that, OH! I love that too! OMG that jacket is so nice I want that too, and I want that one as well!" GAAH! :P Again, I wish I had unlimited money! But I will deferentially invest in an awesome fall coat/jacket this season as well as go on a little shopping spree at Simplybe.com as soon as I get my paycheck, there are so many pieces that I'm in love with!

What pieces are you favorites?
and what are you looking forward to wearing this fall/winter?

The perfect wall

O.M.G! I can not believe HOW busy I am and that I have been SO BAD at updating the blog. Aah! I wish I had more time, and I wish I had more energy, like I've said before, I stay up late, get nothing done...really...realize it's passed midnight and, there we go again, another day with less then 6 hours of sleep and seriously....today....I wanted to break down. I know I know it's horrible, i don't know WHY I'm doing this to myself, but I guess I want to prove to myself that I can manage a full time job AND a part time job. SMH.

This is how typical day is for me atm:

Wake up go to work at 9 AM.

Work Ann Taylor 9AM-1:30PM.

Leave and walk to E-bar (also at the mall) change clothes.

Work E-bar from 2PM-10:30PM.

So at the end of the day I've at least worked 10-11 hours, and there is at least 3 days out of the week that are like these, and then the rest of the 2 days I'll just work at the E-bar. I'm basically on my feet the whole time, yes...I am! (Praise the lord for crocs, my savior, however my feet are still tired and a bit sore)

Yeah, its though...I'm not gonna lie. I love working at both places, it's fun! I'm growing as a person, gaining more experience and friends. I couldn't ask for more besides more time and energy that is all, by the end of the week I have the "BLUE LAW" in Bergen county NJ to thank for having the mall closed on Sundays, So I'm always off this sacred day :P YAY!

So tomorrow I am OFF WORK and I'm gonna turn off my alarms and sleep as long as I need to. Can't wait. Anyway, we'll see how long I'll last working like this. :P I'm such a NO-lifer right now, just work work work. I'm a shopaholic and workaholic. So true.

Top from Simply Be Won at Giveaway :D, Leggings from SWAK, flats from payless, watch from walmart, Stud bracelet from eBay, Necklace from HM.

When I take the bus to the mall there's one bus that takes me there 35-40 min early or the next one will make me a couple of minutes late, of course *sigh SMH. Anyways, so being early I'm planing to get my OOTD taken before I start work and I found the perfect wall by the parking garage LOL :D thank god for my tripod and this location being secluded :P Won this amazing leo pattern blouse from LOVE BROWN SUGAR like a month ago, I know it took a while for me to get it, but I' so happy to have it, I LOVE IT! It's so easy to wear and super comfortable and I'm not to be frightened of a huge animal print, bring-it-on! ;) Oh and it's from simply Be! THANK YOU Simply Be and Love Brown Sugar!

Thanks for sticking around you guys, even though I haven't been updating much. Just know that I appreciate all your comments and visits SO SO MUCH! It truly makes my day! :)

XOXO

Where did that ass come from?

My Torrid Stiletto jeans with side zipper detail has been my "to go" to pair of bottoms, love them! You all know by now that I do ;) I can't rave about them enough! THANK YOU TORRID FOR MAKING SUCH AMAZING JEANS!

This weekend I decided to pair them with a simple black peplum top, it was a beautiful day! Sun was shining, but the humidity was low, which is AWESOME! Like a beautiful crisp and bright Swedish summer day :P I got to spend the day with my god father that's in Jersey on business, he's my dads best childhood friend and it was amazing to see him in another environment, surreal but nice :P Like, last time we saw each other as in Sweden and now we're hanging out in New Jersey. Omg, I can not explain how much I miss my family. Just thinking about my little brother and sister brings tears to my eyes, for real. I'm such a softy I know, I KNOW lol that I will BALL my eyes out whenever I met up my family at the airport whenever in the future that they will come visit. Fingers crossed my sister can come visit during the holidays, that would be the best Christmas present ever!! EVER!!

Still busy working, and working a little more :) BUT tomorrow I get off early so I have a fun Outfitpost/review coming up ;) Stay tuned to see more!

XOXO

Ps. Love my legs and ass in these jeans, I don't know but I think since starting working and being on my feet for hours it might have shaped up a little, damn. Love it! ;) it was more...flat...before haha :P + I think the stiletto jeans are super flattering too!

Circle of leggings

All fun leggings from New Look

I can not live without leggings during the season of fall and winter! A pair of black leggings pair with an over size knitted jumper/sweater, or a flowy long and comfortable sheer blouse and the look is complete! You're good to go! ;) So easy, chic and comfortable. Just throw on some accessories and voila, you look even more chic! ;)

Anyways, been window shopping like crazy lately online. And I really love New Looks plus size line "INSPIRE"S (Adore the name) fun selection of leggings that they have to offer atm, totally love the space print  leggings! As well as wanting the cross pattern leggings, I NEED! From the UK they carry plus sizes from a size UK 18-26. They do ship internationally so I'm contemplating if I should make a purchase in the near future because I really need more fun leggings in my wardrobe, too much black HAHA! :P feel me?

Which ones are you favorite?

Thanks for reading and following! ;D

Making a Statement

Hey Lovelies!

This is what I wore to work the other day, thank god I can dress up a little bit at least during the week and not ONLY in a "all black"-café Barista uniform ;)

So at Ann Taylor I can dress up and have fun with statement necklaces, make-up and styles. Loving it! ;) They are getting in some super awesome stuff this fall and winter, dying, I wish I had unlimited money to just get everything in the store I love ;) What I dream. For example they got a long sleeve, comfortable, stretchy peplum top in navy that I NEEEEED!!! AS WELL, as a super stylish (designer look-alike) deep plum colored cap sleeve dress that is to die for! Can't wait to show you guys! Anyway, I'm so happy I got through this week! Thank the lord, this was the week that both jobs double booked me and I.....underline-I, basically had to fix, swap, cut, alter to be able to satisfy both places this busy week of Labor Day, Fashion night out weekend etc. This week flew by and I counted in around 50 hours of work. Am I tired and exhausted...YES.....questioning what I'm still doing up at 2 am after a day of 11 hours of work...YES. I'm surprised I'm not passed  out in bed yet. Well, I will crawl into bed soon and enjoy a long night of sleep because tomorrow I'm off! YAY!

And then on Monday another week of busy work continues, wish me luck ;) We'll see how long I'll last. :P For now...and the mean time...I really need the money.

Not to forget, I AM having fun working. :) The E-bar at Nordstrom is always busy, event-full and exciting and Ann Taylor is fashion fun, inspiring and it's so nice to build a connection with all the ladies shopping in the store. I've had a few that I've helped pick out different styles and clothing pieces that they never would have tried if I didn't show them to them, and then ended up LOVING them, and appreciating my help and that is the most rewarding thing about the job, I love it! It makes me day. :) 

So yeah, the busy week of work explains the lack of updates but I promise I'll be better. I miss not getting those outfit posts in and taking outfit pictures regularly. ;)

Stay tuned...and thanks for reading and following, you guys make my day too! *hearts*

XOXO

Hi everyone! Omg, I've been so bad lately at updating but I've been so swamped with work that I haven't had the time or energy, sorry! I couldn't be more happier that I'm working now, can't wait to earn that extra money and start establishing myself here in the U.S. :) I need to better my credit score because I have NO credit score *sigh. I need tips, give me tips! where do I start?

Anyways, This is what I wore the other day for work. I paired my leo pattern skirt with a classic white tank top and comfortable open cardigan both scored on SALE at Anntaylor.com. (Half off SALES price, gotta love it!) With an add of color pop by the hot pink thin leather belt.

Swedish Fashion - Kappahl's XLNT

The availability for plus size fashion in Sweden is not great, but at least we have something. At lest we have somewhere to go look for hidden gems of fashion forward pieces among unflattering prints, cuts and bad-fitted pieces of clothing that look like Sh**! (Excuse me ;))

Kappahl is one of those places where we Swedish plus size ladies can go look for clothes, sizes range from size EU44+. Bellow are a few favorites that I found online, I must say that the pieces online right now are not that good, not a lot to choose between unfortunately, maybe it's just online and they have more available in stores? I don't know...BUT! I must say I adore that black and white button down blouse, super cute! Love that they have more slimmer jeans/pants available now as well, and I know, I KNOW they have awesome winter/falls coats and jackets available in stores as well, I got my quilted black jacket from them last season, LOVE IT! 

You'll be seeing more of it when fall comes around, I brought it here to the U.S. :)

Also, I must say I really love their name XLNT for the plus size, really smart and "Excellent" choice of name ;)!

As well as them hosting a plus size model search this year, Don't know if they crowned a winner yet, gotta check that out. :) 

Anyways, wish that I had more to offer, but this is what I could work with at this time, maybe the'll have more fall fashion coming in soon...However it's clear to say that the availability for plus size fashion in the U.S. is much better then Sweden haha! :P Sorry Sweden.

Which piece is your favorite?

Pants, tops, knitted scarfs and head pieces from Kappahl's plus size line XLNT, Shoes available at Nelly.com, earrings on left from HM, earrings on right from Ginatricot, bag and nailpolish from HM.
