A weekend of love
I texted my mom and dad late Friday afternoon about them coming to visit me and they did. We spent a great evening together friday and Saturday we went shopping and to visit the grandparents.
Today I woke up before 7AM to get ready for a fun filled day in the swedish capital, Stockholm. A mere 1 h and 20 minutes later Dina and I were arriving at the station.
After a lunch meeting we went to a APU Network association dinner celebrating the Bosnian Independence Day. Because Dina is traveling tomorrow and I have a week full of meetings we had to get on a train back home at 7.30. The evening was a great success though! We got to meet some very successful and interesting people. Aida Hadžialić being on of them. She is a Swedish politician and the Minister of Education. At 28 she is the youngest minister Swedish history and she just happenes to be Bosnian aswell.
What did you guys do?
I Love Her Style : Celia Ayala
Some of you know I’ve done a few of these I Love Her Style posts in the past! But, I’ve never featured a plus-size, non celebrity before.
This post is all about plus-size babe Celia Ayala aka @ladyshears
Moving to London
I’ve been offered a job in London! The same guy has been calling me for the last two years. The job itself is great although it requires me to travel up to three times a week, within Europe. And I just don’t know if I’m OK with that. I’m 30 now, I feel like it’s time for me to settle down and be in one place. Moving to London and having to travel that much just means I won’t be. I’d be on a plane and at work more than home. A lot of my relationships suffer from me being away, even now. I don’t get to see my family and friends nearly as much as I’d like too.
Yet I feel like I need a challenge in life, to keep things spicy and interesting for me…
Chipmunk cheeks!!!
I’ve gotten the question about my cheeks quite a few times. What do I do and how do I contour. To be honest, I don’t! I don’t know how to contour that well…I just apply bronzer on my cheekbones. And they become defined like this. Of course it’s not all make up. It comes from my dads side of the family, my sister and a few of my cousins have them as well. Some more than others.
I’m wearing a Elizabeth Arden lipstick, if anyone knows the shade, it’s a shiny nude one…please let me know…!!!
Late night selfie sesh + thoughts
It’s almost 2AM where I am…
I always work better at night so it’s no surprise I’m doing a bunch of things right now! Answering emails I’ve left un-answered for days. Making that playlist on Spotify I’ve been meaning to make for weeks. Writing a to-do list for the coming weeks. Planning a bunch of different things coming up. Thinking about texting a guy I like. Painting my nails. Testing out a new make up look. Planning for the future of this blog. Writing down ideas for outfit posts. Trying not to online shop. Scheduling posts for the next few days. Reading a open letter to Kim Kardashian. Watching Suits on Netflix. Researching relaxations tips. And snapping a bunch of selfies.
And for the record, it’s been a very boring Saturday, I don’t get why people love days off…especially when you’re sick.

Primark Haul : Shoes
So…off course I went shopping while in London.
I didn’t know Primark had come out with a Wide Fit range of shoes but when I found out I had to check it out.
LOTD : Reflecting Bloom
My lip combo today is Lumene Natural Code lipstick in the shade 3 Nude Beige with IsaDora Express Star gloss over it, it’s in the shade 54 Reflecting Bloom. I have the full size version but I like the travel size better because it’s easy to bring along for touch ups during the day.
Flaws and all
Today has been a super busy day! Started my work day before 7AM and left the office around 6PM. Just in time to go home and change before a special screening of The Boy Next Door. It wasn’t the best movie I’ve seen, actually it was only ok.
After the movies I got my hair done as I’m traveling in a few days and I wanted fresh color. Still a red head!
Since coming home I’ve been packing the makeup I’m bringing with me and some clothes. Nowhere near to being done anytime soon! I mean I have to pack tomorrow so it might be a late night…
Good night!
Fresh out of the shower/No make up…face
OOTD : Navy
I just got ready for a casual Sunday lunch with Dina and Ado and after that I’m meeting a new friend for coffee.
I’m a bit lazy today as I had seven people over last night for a little get together.
I’m wearing a navy blue dress with Primark Cozy tights and navy blue wedge booties!
Have a great Sunday everyone!!!
