Awol

Dearest blogfriends! I received some groundshaking news a few days ago, got me startled but most in a good way. ;) However, this news have started to affect my energy and wellbeing, enough so that I have a hard time keeping up with work, family and blogging. I will probably gonna go awol for awhile until this news have settled down. ;) Hehehee Im so sorry for being so cryptic, but some of you might have guessed whats up with me. :P  Im sooo sorry for going awol, but I thought you ought to know, I didnt want to leave you hangin. ;) I will still keep up with my blogreadinglist so dont you worry. ;)  I really really really wanna thank you all for reading my blog, means the WORLD to me and I hope you are still around when I get back in a few weeks time! xxx

Fall Fashion Challenge - Grey

Final day of this years fall fashion challenge - what better way than to finish off in grey. ;)  Ive had a blast putting together outfits for this challenge. I hope there will be more to come in the future. :)

I havent worn this grey dress before although I purchased it on sale early this year. I knew it would be perfect come autumn. Im glad I have some garments in solid colours, in fact I need more of them as I have way too much print and pattern all over the place. :) But a solid garment is only interesting to me if it has some kind of quirky detail or shape. These frills fit the bill perfectly.

I just wanna give my thanks to Megan and Keely for taking their time to host such an fabulous challenge, you gals rock! :)

What Im wearing:

Dress from Fever London
Cami from HM
Tights from Sneaky Fox
Boots from El Naturalista

Fall Fashion Challenge - Wine

Second day of the fashion challenge and style colour for today being wine (burgundy). I must say Im head over heels in love with this colour, kind of strange since I have never really cared for it before. Seems like Im an easy victim of fashion, heh *snorts*

Im totally cracking up here as my hubby was passing by while making fun of me. :) I wish he could be around everytime I take my photos. :) Since Im a huge wine/burgundy fan I did it all, snood, cardigan and pants being wine. I even have some wine nailpolish but didnt do my nails in time for this shoot. Im  currently lusting after a dress and a skirt in burgundy, then my wardrobe would be complete. uhm for wine/burgundy that is. ;)

Im trying out a new to me pose, the crossed legs or wee pose if you`d like. :) But seriously whats up with those clawlike hands?? :P

Fall Fashion Challenge - Teal

Who doesnt fancy a fashion challenge? Im so excited to be participating in my second fashion challenge hosted by Megan from MeganMaeDaily and Keely from Casualchickiki.com. Theme for this challenge is colors of the season and today Monday its TEALday. :)

I only have one teal garment in my wardrobe unfortunately so I had to work around this cardigan. I decided to pair it with this dress which print includes teal paradise birds among others. Hopefully this will suffice *waves at Megan and Keely* :)

Im sorry for the lack of photos, I had to rush out inbetween showers and I only got a few decent pics before it started raining again. Its been raining non stop for the past two days, its a hardknock life for a style blogger. ;) Hehehe

What Im wearing:

Cardigan from Mango
Dress from River Island
Tights from Sneaky Fox (new)
Shoes from Bianco

Now Im off to see what the other participants have come up with for teal day, you might as well check them out too. ;)

Colour casual

Brrr, winter is coming! Familiar phrase? :) Nothing like fighting the cold with a wooly jumperdress and a cosy snood (tubescarf). My first snood actually, great for wearing with outerjackets as there are no loose ends to get tied up in the zipper or looking like youve got another set of bulcking boobs under your jacket. :P

I seem to be a copycat these days, I first saw this jumperdress on another style blogger and the next day I went out and bought it myself. :) I loooove reading style blogs, not only for inspiration regarding colour and pattern mixing but also to find lovely items for my wardrobe, items I sure would have missed out on otherwise. :)

No problem incorporating colour in a dress downed casual style. :) I hope I will find another wooly jumperdress, they are easy to style and look great! :)

Stars and stripes for you folks. :)

What Im wearing:

Jumperdress from HM (recent)
Snood from local shop

Office babe

Im sporting my new pencil skirt from HM, love at first sight it was. :) I hardly have any pencil skirts in my wardrobe cause I have been afraid of them being too bootylicious to wear at work. I know pencil skirts are actually considered appropriate work wear but at my workplace they are scarse. :) I think its due to my office having a casual dresscode and people tend to think that skirts like these are wayyyy to dressed up. :P

Well its high time someone sets the stakes higher, I stribe to make my work environment more feminine and dolled up. :P I guess Im the "office babe" :P Heheheeee Well I dont exactly fit the bill, me wearing no makeup. ;)

My mustard cute shoes from the side, I love em! :) Im currently lusting after another pair similar to these but in green and purple.

Heh my feet look like logs here, must be the camera angle. :)

Rocking plaids

Every once in a while I feel the need to take a break from my ususal dress/skirt routine, to shake things up a bit. ;) Bring on skinny jeans, ankle boots and a top of some kind and Im good to go. :) I feel more edgy and sassy in skinny jeans than in pretty dresses, hehehee. Epic fail - do not wear white socks with this ensemble :P My leg is pale alright but not bleaching white. ;)

This is my first biker jacket, not real leather though. :P I really like this burgundy colour, didnt think it would suit me but looks ok I think.

Open jacket, heh not the most fierce look/pose Ive got goin, hehehhe but believe me Im not always a goody two shoes in pretty dresses. :P

Tossed the jacket, I love love love this plaid shirt, I wish I had more plaid garments in my wardrobe.

Catfight

uh oh no Im not the one taking part in a catfight, Im way to chicken for that. :P Do you remember my black bundle of kitty joy? Last week we discovered a nasty wound on her thigh, off to the vet the next day. Apparently she got bit by another cat, I bet she got in a fight with one of the stray cats lurking around, in fact I know so cause today I caught them in the act. I came to her rescue and screamed my lungs out at the stray cat. He ran off the minute he saw me. ;)

Cute kitty alert!! :) My kitty who got injured have been kept indoors all week, happy as a camper on drugs cause she got a nasty infection in the wound. She was out of sorts the first days but now she is back in business. :) She will stay on antibiotics for another 5 days but she is off her painkillers. The wound is healing well too. I have never seen a catbite before let alone an infected one so this was a new experience. Im glad it  wasnt anything more serious although poor kitty was truly in pain. I hope it wont happen again.

Well enough kitty chat, onto outfit related stuff. :) Im so thrilled, got some new bootsies in rust, I love this years autumnal fashion colours. :) The bootsies fit like a glove on my chicken legs, such boots are soooo hard to come by so I couldnt walk away. :) I know this pic is rubbish but never mind my face being washed out, look at my pose instead. :P

Another rubbish pic, but wanted to show you how the bootsies look from the side. :) At least we got SUN! :)

Everything in this outfit is old except the boots. Hmmm I must really like this cardigan, think I have worn it more or less in every outfit lately *ahem*. Its a stripey thing, goes with everything! ;)

Cardigan from HM

Missoni part 2

 As I mentioned earlier I also bought a cardigan from the Missoni for Lindex collection. I really love the colours in this one, slightly brighter than the dress previously worn here.

Ups, cardi sliding off and showing my burgundy tank top, that was not supposed to happen. ;)  hazard of skipping back and forth from the camera as I dont have any remote , Im not sure it even excists for compact cameras. :) Uhm yes Im still using my compact camera for pics *shame on me*

I would love for a blurry background in my photos but my compact will have to do for now. Hubby does own a DSLR camera but Im a bit intimidated by it and afraid me fiddling would f... things up. ;) Click on picture for enlargement.

Shop my style Friday #2

As you may know Im really into perusing internet for new fabulous garments, so I thought a my favourite styles weekly post would be fun. I hope you will find it of interest as well. :) Shop my style is a weekly post highlighting my most recent clothes obsessions and possible purchases. I link because I like, this is not a sponsored post and Im not on the payroll for any featured brand. Well onto my favourites of the week:

Boden

Oh my Im soooo obsessed by this dress, I cant bear it!!! Im cringing right now cause its out of stock in my size and it just launched last week.....Silly me missed the chance to get 20% off by preorder and I dont  wanna pay full price....I have become much more budgetorientated in my shopping, I buy most of my garments on sale or discounted.

Poetic License

Oh my heart raced a little when I spotted these *gulp* I have the same model in mustard and how cute is that leopard border. Come to think of it I dont own anything leopardy......;)

M&Co

I love anything stripey and I really like this combination of colours, perfect for autumn.

New Look

How can I turn down these funky and quirky heels? :)

Modcloth
