Colorful Rainbow of Denim

As darkness falls on us earlier and earlier as the day passes by this Autumn season it's nice to keep it bright and color popping on the bottoms to light up the mood a little bit ;) You feel me?

Hemma i Sverige (most likely) under denna säsong är det lätt att känna sig lite deprimerad :P man får ju typ aldrig se dags ljuset hela hösten och vintern speciellt, well...speciellt för mig som jobbade mycket natt, sov ju hela dagarna. Så vaknade up när det började bli mörkt igen strax efter lunch. Usch! Riktigt deppigt i längden men I had my goal in sight...att spara ihop så mycket pengar som möjligt för att flytta till USA to be with my love ;)

Vilket gjorde prosessen mycket enklare, man såg liksom ljuset i tunneln.

Here are my favorite color bright denims and bottoms for this season to live it up a little, From Forever21, Torrid and Fashion to Figure.

Which pair/color is your favorite?

Peplum Love

Sitting through Hurricane Sandy as we speak, it's still going on outside, not as bad as earlier this night....man, the winds were crazy strong. No joke. It was really scary and still is, we have a big ass tree on our backyard that is catching the wind and swinging back and fort and the branches are going all over the place and I'm just picturing the tree snapping and falling on us. Oh my god, madness. I'm surprised it's still staying strong AND that we've so far in my area not lost power. Because everything around here is moving with the wind like crazy.

Unlike Sweden the power lines and cables run by the road on poles and not like home underground, which causes power-outs by simply having a branch or tree fall over it. ANYWAY, so far I'm good. Thank god. And my friends and co-workers. Thank god!

The Mall was closed all day today, which meant no work for me. However they are planing to open tomorrow which is beyond me because the storm is no yet over and we got hit the worst tonight. Tomorrow is still gonna be stormy and there are gonna be a lot of recovery having to be made after the damage Sandy has caused so far, we don't need to be on the road making our way to the mall, who would go to the mall in the first place to shop the day after we got hit by one of the biggest hurricanes in long. omg...we need to stay home and take care of ourselves and our houses and clean up. etc. Feel me. 

NJ transit is still closed down so there's no way of commuting to work....I don't know. New Jersey is currently under the state of emergency so I believe that everyone should stay home and be safe until the storm has passed.

Aaah, anyway....rant over. :) My thoughts go out to all my readers and followers on the east coast, and who ever that is being affected in some way by the Hurricane Sandy. Stay safe!

Here is an outfit from earlier this week. :)

I love this bright blue color, and the fit and feel is amazing. Thinking about getting it in bright Orange as well, should I? ;)

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for more...

Massa kärlek till er alla!

I AM SWEDISH

 Tanken om att jag faktiskt bott här i USA sedan mars är sjukt! Kan inte fatta att jag vart här nu så länge, tiden har verkligen flygit förbi! Jag måste säga att jag saknar Sverige. Jag saknar mitt riktiga hem! Min familj och mina vänner.

There's a lot of things that differ here from a typical life in Sweden, just how we swedes are, how things work - laws and regulations, culture and ways of living. I may not have a Swedish accent, majority of the people can't hear it, and sometimes I wish they could. Because when I meet new people at work and etc. THINGS are a little more difficult for me to understand sometimes and that is not because I'm "slow" it's because I'm not from here. :P

It's just frustrating, people that talk fast, people that spell in English Alphabet...my head is extra concentrated to remember the difference of the pronounced "I" and "E" in English. You feel me...

A common question I still get from Americans ;) "Where did you learn English?!" All surprised that I can speak fluently with hardly any accent. ;) Well...In school first of all Duh :P but I've personally taken it upon me to learn excellent English, it's always been a goal of mine, I've always enjoyed studying English in School and getting better at the language.

Hur som helst, jag är så otroligt stolt över mig själv att jag tagit detta steg ut ur min "comfort zone", flyttat till ett annat land, med min kärlek, idag har jag två jobb. Jag fick dom båda inom några veckor av sökande, så glad att jag haffade två bra jobb. Jag känner verkligen hur jag växer något så otroligt mycket som person varje dag. Loving it! 

 Det är lätt att tappa sitt ursprung här, speciellt när man inte har Svenska vänner eller familj i närheten. Helt plötsligt så pratar man bara Engelska hela tiden, och man bor och lever ett "Amerikanskt" liv, man lever liksom med en amerikansk familj, man har en amerikansk man. Men jag försöker verkligen inte tappa det, jag påminner mig varje dag hur glad jag är att jag är född och uppvuxen i Sverige för, come on! ;) Sverige är ett damn good country to grow up in. 

Tryggt och Säkert.

Anyway, Jag läser Aftonbladet varje dag på mobilen ;). Keeping myself updated. Har en hel spellista på Spoify dedicated to Swedish music. etc. Bäst av allt är att besöka IKEA här, känns som att komma hem, for real! Det är underbart! 

Saknar att prata svenska också, vill inte tappa the flow liksom, känner att den börjar bli lite hackig :P haha! Kanske gör en youtube video snart eller nått så jag kan få prata av mig lite. 

Så ja, det är därför jag gör detta inlägg i bloggen, to bring my origin in a little bit more. Just a personal reminder as well as to others. 

So my little sister is coming to visit me over the holidays in December and I'm super excited!! I can not wait, I'm gonna cry out of happiness to see my little edwardo at the airport :P (Intern nickname) So I'm gonna nee to take off work a little bit during that time and I was talking to my new manager about it and he was like "Why is she coming all the way from Sweden to see you?" Dude....I AM SWEDISH, I AM FROM SWEDEN! :P Omg, it's like nobody gets it sometimes. 

It's the no accent thing......people can't tell I'm not from here. I thought I had an accent, maybe my English got better through out the months of being here since March, I don't know...

And when my co-workers here it they love to comment on it, which is sweet because I DO like that. I'm like YES!! :D

Sorry for my rambling.

Tack!

Godnatt och massa kärlek till er! ;)

Lunch with the Girls

Hi All!

This Sunday I met up with Shay from a Thick Girls Closet and Ericka from Regine Report over lunch, it was a blast! Always a pleasure hanging out with my girl Sha-Sha! And I'm so glad I got to met up with Ericka for the first time, this girl, is amazing!

Of course after lunch we had to have a little photoshoot (foolishness.) ;)

That day I decided to wear my new sweater from HM, it's pink and fluffy and I love it. Size L may I add so it's a very roomy and comfy sweater. However this angora blend sweater does tickle a little, haha and at the end of the day I had shredded lots of the baby pink fuzzies all over my jeans, face, all over shay's black blazer! all over her car seat!!! Omg, I was a mess LOL :P SORRY SHAY!

Anyway, still, I totally adore this sweater!

You don't often see me dress this cute in baby pink but I will if it's an angora sweater with the adorable fuzzy-ness going on. I will.

More pictures below, Enjoy! :D

 More foolishness below, Click read more! :)

Just another rainy day

Just another everday "work" outfit :) Just wanted to snap a quick photo in the rain of this new blouse I bought from the store, it was love at first sight :P I saw it being un-packed and ready to hit the sales floor and as soon as it did I was quick to try it-fall inlove-and buy it.

Love the print and the flowy loose fit!

So I just had to share ;)

So today I had a blast meeting up with Shay from A Thick girls closet and Ericka from Regina Report over lunch. :D More on that later with fun photos. Stay tuned ;)

Biker Chic

Just another "work" outfit of the day, working in retail and having to "dress up" for work has really allowed me to experiment more with my style and fashion in general. I'm loving it.

I get the chance to tap more into my feminine style, more chic and polished, dressing like a "true" ANN :P But at the same time adding my edgy side, like color pop statement necklaces, and biker jackets, and leather trims.
This Purple plum color is also my favorite color of the season, love the jewel tones! Where you can add a matching lip color, love a nice purple hue of lipstick that pops!
What color is your favorite to wear this season?

Love Layering

Just a quick outfit post from today.

Gotta go to bed and get some beauty sleep, tomorrow is a new week with more work. But having this Sunday off has been amazing and I got to spend almost the whole day at IKEA. Love love love!

A little piece of home, Swedish peeps pride and joy. Our IKEA.
Det känns verkligen som att man är hemma i Sverige, det går inte riktigt att förklara men allt ser ut som det gör hemma på IKEA. Helt plötsligt känner man sig lite speciell när man är på en IKEA utomlands, du förstår vad alla möblerna heter, du vet vad KALLES Kaviar är och JANSONS frestelse, OCH alla böker och lexikon som fyller bokhyllorna som dekoration är på Svenska vilket är coolt. OMG, Jag saknar Sverige, Not to forget jag är Svensk! Även om det inte ser ut som det, och även om man inte kan höra någon brytning i min engelska, den finns där...men många hör den inte. Men jag ska försöka att inte skugga the fact att jag faktiskt kommer från ett annat land, living in a foreign country. Så kommer från och med nu att mixa in lite Svenska också i mina blog posts. (Lite svengelska;)) 
BTW, I need to find me some Swedish friends around this area. :)

Anyway gotta sleep, love you all! Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO

FALLing for skirts

The passed few days have been beautiful, sunny skies but still a bit chilly, perfect weather for a light jacket and scarf, as well as stockings/thighs, which means! The skirts are coming out of the closet, most of all the skirts that have been a tiny bit too short to have worn during the summer.

This skirt is a good length to wear with out stockings as well BUT it is just SO nice to JUST have to wear stockings and NOT Spanks or cycle short to avoid the "chubb-rubb". 

You got the nice breezy air, no sweaty heat, just crisp air...I love! 

So refreshing, I'm so happy fall is here and I can't wait to wear another one of my old favorite Fall/Winter combos.

STOCKINGS/THIGHTS-SKIRT-TOP COMBO.

This is another work outfit for the day ;)

Good Time Traditions

This Sunday I had the pleasure to met up with Shay from A Thick girls closet for a traditional met up meal at California Pizza Kitchen. It has sort of become our thing, I love it! There's nothing better then good laughs, good talk, good food and drinks. We ALWAYS get the Avocado Egg rolls! So Yummy! 

Working like a dog this passed month and a half, not having much free time to hang out with friends or being that up to date/as well as being able to attend the "plus size"-events that's been going on lately (so SO sad) nor had much time or energy to socialize during the weeks, it was so nice of Shay to ask me out again *sniff sniff* ;) Girl you're great! You made me feel special!

We made it work, Sunday's I'm always off work (Jippie!) I love our little "thing" we got going on and I can't wait to see what kind of adventures the future brings ;) Aah! Aah!

Visit her blog at www.athickgirlscloset.blogspot.com, if you haven't already and fall in love!

Keeping it up with my favorite outfit combo ;) Leggings and over-size/long knit top. I decided to pair it with my new favorite booties, and add a lot of accessories. Something that's new to me is adding pendant necklaces to my turtleneck top, not just one but two, different lengths and styles, totally digging it and it's something that I'm gonna continue to do in the future...because I love layering for fall, including accessory layering ;)  

Knit turtleneck top from HM, Random necklaces, random rings, leggings from SWAK Designs, Boots from Kmart, Watch from Kmart, Bag from China Town.
