And It Comes To An End

Hello My Lovelies,

I am going to alert you now the pictures in the post are really not the greatest. They were taken on my slowly deteriorating phone but I like the dress so I have to share it.

Now that Summer has actually come to an end I wanted to share an outfit I wore (a really long time ago and forgot to put up). As you all should know, I practically live in dresses (or pyjamas). I have so many that I don't really get the chance to wear them as I buy them but when I dig in to the depths of my wardrobe and find them again I realise why I fell in love with them in the first place and this dress from Dorothy Perkins is a prime example.

 This dress is so light weight and really comfortable, I don't believe it is still on the website but if I find something similar I will link it for you all. I love the bold print and the deep v-neck which allows me to show off my 'assets'. My only qualm would be the length, I would like it to be a couple of inches longer.

 The sandals are from ASOS Men's. I often check the men's shoes as I have wide feet. I found these and the are amazing. They did take a little while to break in because the are real leather but when I wore them I felt like I should have been in Hercules... The Disney movie... I'm not even ashamed.

Dress: Dorothy Perkins

Denim Jacket: From a clothes swap

Sandals: ASOS

Bloggers Do It Better

Morning My Beauties,

As you all may or may not know yesterday, Evans released an advert for their #Stylehasnosize campaign.
Now, I totally support the hashtag and the campaign they are running. However, like many other people and after the backlash it had on social media, myself and four other size bloggers took to the streets of London to do our take on the hashtag.

Don't get me wrong, the models in the original photo a beautiful but this photo does not show this campaign any justice. The lack of diversity (not just size) is incredible and I just don't understand why Evans has conformed to the 'Oh so predictable' standard size 16/18 model with an hour glass figure that most everyday people can't; A. compete with and B. relate to.

Although, these beauties do look fabulous you can really begin to understand where there are flaws. I'm not going to point out each one as it does not take much to see it for yourself.

Us ladies saw the photo, we saw what people people were thinking about it and we made a decision to give this hashtag a little more meaning!
Ideally we would have had several people all shapes, sizes, heights, races, genders etc.. but in such a short space of time I kinda think we hit the nail on the head.

We all managed to come together on Oxford Street and take this picture! I am so happy for us as I think we have managed to represent better. Five amazing women proving that in fact, Style has no anything! It is what the individual makes it and if that means lounging in your pj's all day or wearing you Sunday best than you can work it any way!

I would just like to say a big thank you to these wonderful ladies Michaela, Katie, Hollie and Stephanie! Without them, this wouldn't have been possible.

I also ask that you all join in with your own pictures! You can use the #Stylehasnosize but also #Mystylehassize and if you are a blogger #Bloggersdoitbetter.

Much Love,
