I love my scarves, especially after they become dresses and boleros!

You know how I`m always reworking my clothes and making curtain-turned-dresses-turned-jackets-turned-shoes-turned-corsets-turned-shoelaces? Today I am wearing an outfit of scarfes-reworked! LOL!

Not really sure this is normal :D

Here`s the breakdown of the outfit:

Dress that I made from a scarf (Indiska)

Bolero that I made from a scarf (H&M)

Statement neckless (Freequent)

Peacock head dress (Indiska)

Various studded bangles

Sandals that I reworked (Zara)

White ring (H&M)

The scarf before....

...and after!

The sandals before....

....and after I added material from a dress!

Today I`ve been thinking about how much this blogging venture means to me, daring to share and connect with you sweet readers, celebrating my curves and supporting all women regardless of size, it all really means so much to me; thank you all for giving me this opportunity to get to practise what I try to install in the teens I work with: love and respect your self - you are beautiful and worthy!

From the bottom of my heart: <3!

These arms are made for hugging, and that`s just what they`ll do!

Today I enjoyed another lovely day in sunny and warm Oslo with my sugarpie and lovely friends and my handsome brother :). Gay parade, parklife, endeless coffeshops, shopping, peoplewatching and lots of snuggeling up to my sweetheart, oh happy holiday!

My outfit changed during the day, as I added my new earrings and black sheer top (that I cut to size in the dressing room LOL -ignoring the funny looks from the shopgirl :D) (both Vero Moda),

and my latest scarf (H&M). The rest of the outfit was a white dress that I sewed from two dresses (Vero Moda),bangle (H&M), peacock head dress (Indiska),

taupe studded sandals (DNA) 

and studded bag from New York, USA, honey!

(I`ve never been, but my fab sis has! <3)

I have always been very shy about my body, and have spent years working on loving my self, or at least not letting my looks hold me back. I`m still not fully there, all though funnily enough I feel better at nude beaches than in a swimsuit LOL, Rubens in sunset etc, do you get the picture? LOL. Oh dear. Anyways, I am out of my black tents, showing off part of my legs (very risque, I know..), over the whole double-chin thing (chin` chin`! ;D), and even wearing sandals (hooooold the phone!!). I do realize this is all in my head, and that other people probably don`t get shocked be seing me swaying down the streets (that really is the only way to walk with these hips)..but as you probably find your selves, self perception can be a funny thing, even when you are blessed with a husbond and friends and family who are supportive, like I thankfully am.

 So, my latest groundbreaking project is this:

I`m working on not covering my arms up like I used to! After some practise I am happy to report that I am getting to a point where I am feeling more comfortable with these chubby and freakled arms of mine.
 I don`t have a muscle to save my life, but, and this is where the confidence by choice-approach of mine comes in handy; these loving arms are very good for hugging!  ;D!

 

So, lots of warm hugs all around for you sweetheart readers of mine that I appreciate so!

Into the wild

I love mixing different textures, and this Saturday I went (into the) wild mixing taupe leopard and snake with studs and fringes! Let me tell you, going wild sure made for a fab day! (What goes on in the wild stays ... well, you get my point ;D ).

Here`s me craking up in my leopard and snake skarves mixed with cropped jean jacket, neckless, black dress, studded bag, belted boots....

... ah yes, and my bonkers leopard glasses! ( I like to get at least one fun pair every season, to my husbonds great amusement: "love it!" He watches Dr. Phil, what can I say haha)

On to the details:

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Love my new neckless!

It`s wild and lovely, taupe leopard meets snake!

My fab new studded bag fresh from New York,baby! (Thanks sis! xx)

Buckle up!

My well worn belted booties.

What do you say my fashionistas, feel like going into the wild?

:D XXXX

Mixing it up

I don`t know about you, my fellow fashion-lovers, but I don`t normally like to wear the same outfits several days in a row, mixing it up keeps it more fun I think. However, after a shopping spree last week I have found myself wanting to enjoy my new fave accessories several days in a row, so I have had fun wearing them each day, worked with a different mix of dresses and colours.

Here are two of my outfits with my fave grey scarf, pink ring and grey wegdes from this week:

Grey loves colour:
Grey booties and scarf mixed with one of my all time fave purple dresses from Monsoon, grey vest, feathered headband and pink ring. Oh and a wee twinkle ;)


Grey goes muted:

Grey scarf and booties mixed with a muted brown dress, black vest, pink ring and my husbonds watch, and a smile :)

Here are the closeups of my lovely treats:

My lovely fringed grey scarf from St.Tropez, birds and all. And my new pink ring from H&M

Grey wegded booties from H&M, with mud :)


Tell me, what are your fave spring-loving accessories these days?
