Urban Outfitters sells this one thats like black denim with the Adidas logo on it and I tried it on in stores and I'm lowkey in love with it so I really want that one, but I also just really want a bucket hat in general. A Yellow Bikini: If you didn't know, yellow is my favorite color in the whole world, and I actual...

Hey guys! My name is Greta and I'm so excited to be back oh my god! So, recently my school shut down to prevent the spread of corona, and we are on lockdown, meaning we can only go to like the grocery store, the pharmacy, and the doctors and thats pretty much it. Meaning, self isolation! My school has moved online, and at first I thought these 3 weeks would be fun, but its really not as fun as it seems, because I don't get to see my friends! So here are my top tips for getting through quarentine! Please comment down below what you've been doing to pass the time, follow my blog, follow my instagram  @afabulousstyle  and lets get started! 1. Become a master chef.

Try a bunch of new recipes, simple and hard, sweet and savory, try a ton of new foods on pinterest (extra points if you get super cute instagram or snapchat stories with the food you make). See a recipe for...

Hey guys its Greta! I'm so so sorry I just kind of disapeered off this blog and my instagram, I announced it in an instagram story, but I never announced it on here really. I want to come on here and talk about why I've been gone.  You guys know that I have been blogging for around 3 years now, but these past few months I have been gone from this blog and my blog instagram. To be honest its been because of mental health reasons. I had someone who I loved in my life very much for around 8 months, and then he left, which put me into a pretty deep depressive state, furthered my anxiety and just made everything 10 times more difficult, and I didn't feel like I was up for blogging.  After a month he came back and told me he missed me and just yesterday he left again. I am so incredibly hurt and my depression and anxiety only really got a little better, but I want to start using my blog as a way to cope and something worth while to put my energy into, rather then a pre...

Hey everyone! My name is Greta and I have really bad anxiety, which is something I realize I’ve never talked about on my blog but its just something I’ve had to get used to, which sucks but its okay. So today we are going to be talking some of the ways I use to cope with my anxiety every day! Obviously I am not a therapist, and I feel the need to tell you all that you should not diagnose yourself with a mental health issue such as anxiety, if you feel like you’re struggling with it contact a professional and wait for a diagnosis to go around saying “I have anxiety”. Same goes for depression and OCD and other mental health issues! Okay so I really hope this article helps! ♡ Drinking water. I know it sounds like the stupidest thing the world but hydration actually really helps me calm my nerves. It won’t fix your problems or anything but it gives yourself a moment to collect yourself.  When I feel a panic attack or anxiety attack coming I always take a break from what I’m...
