I Went Shopping

Good Evening Lovely People,


The Saturday before last, I went shopping with the beautiful Michaela and I spent a lot of money on stuff I don't need and had no money for. I am a self confessed shopaholic so I really can't help myself.

We went to Bicester Village for the day and it was thoroughly enjoyable. If you ever plan on going, go early so you can leave early. Myself and Michaela realised very quickly that we would not need to spend the whole day there but the train tickets I booked only allowed us on the train at a particular time.

Any way, it was a fun day filled with shopping, many laughs, amazing food and both of us being extremely tired by the end of it. I still think now that I haven't fully recovered.
Our intention was to find a bag for Michaela but I love shopping so I had a few items on my wish list too. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and the Village is really easy to navigate. It was very quaint and cute.

Here is what I bought! Sorry it has taken so long Hollie!!

Anya Hindmarch

 I blame Michaela for this purchase but the patches in this shop are great and I couldn't resist buying one.

Kate Spade

I originally picked up a pouch but then I saw this T-Shirt and searched frantically through the pile to find the biggest size... And there it was and XL glittering in my eyes!! AAAnnnnddddd, it fits as well!!

Pandora

I don't know what it is about Pandora but everyone I go to there is always a queue outside. I was waiting in the queue for about an hour, probably a bit longer. I managed to pick up four charms. I believe some of these are still on the Pandora website. I'm not gonna link the because I can't be arsed.

Cath Kidston

This is where I went completely crazy. There were so many bargains to be had! I have always loved the robot pattern and there were sooo many things with it on. I finally managed to pick up an overnight bag and some other bits an pieces. I have no idea why I bought spoons. Don't judge, I was buying on impulse.

L'Occitane

This was the last shop I went to, I have never used any of the products before so I was looking for something to try. The I saw this £12 bargain and had to have it. It's four handbag size perfumes. They all smell amazing and I think I will do some reviews on them too.

Thanks for reading!

Much Love,

Abi

A Big Ol' Catch up

Hello Lovely People,

I have been so busy lately and haven't had a proper chance to write anything blog related in a while. I am currently juggling two jobs (I have no idea why) and deciding what to do with my future (also have no idea).

So here is what I have been doing over the past few of months including this past week.

And I begin with.....

Plus North!!! 

Yes I know it's ages after but this was my first time going and I want to share it with you all.

Oh Yeah, before I continue, this is going to be quite picture heavy.

So, on the 30th and 31st of August this year, I attended and event called Plus North. This year some plus size companies showcased their autumn/winter ranges. It was great to see some old friends and make some new ones too!
Here is my outfit of the night. I didn't really get many pictures of myself.The dress is from the Scarlett and Jo range in Evans and I got it for only £20! absolute bargain!

Me and the lovely ladies! Becky, Mookie and Sam!

Simply be!

I also went on a shopping trip with some other plus size bloggers! We went mainly for the new Simply be Store that opened in central London. I only managed to get one picture but I had a really good time! The staff were extremely helpful and I got some really great items...(coming soon in a post near you).

MSSVG and Junarose!

I was also invited to an event by Monique from MSSVG in collaboration with Junarose. We got to see a really good catwalk showcasing some of their spring/summer range and I have to say I loved all of it!

This is the picture heavy part so please do enjoy!

I tried on some outfits too! I absolutely loved this tunic/dress. The material was really, really good quality and thick enough so you don't have to put on too many layers.

At the end of the night we were allowed to pick an item to take home.. I took this coatigan ( don't know if that is the right word). It is really comfortable to wear and night an thick. I got an XL but could easily have got a large too. It has a lot of room for putting a jumper underneath.

I have recently started work experience and I sometimes have to wake up really early. The benefits are that you get to see some really cool sunrises. They are really hard to capture but I have tried my best.

And that is basically it! I should hopefully be back to some sort of routine with blogging so please stay tuned!

Much love,

Lakeside Meet

Hello Lovelies!!

On Saturday, I met some beautiful blogger babes for a shopping day out in Lakeside. We had a fab day filled with fun, food and shopping of course!

Be warned there are plenty of pictures in this post! Some taken by Leah and Mookie too!

We went into Primark (I will be doing a haul), Evans and Yours Clothing. I had never been in a Yours before so I was very curious as to what the shop would be like.

I will start with Evans first, I am really upset that I didn't get a picture of my changing room! It had a sofa in it!!The staff were very welcoming and helpful and allowed us to take loads of pictures and try out loads of nice clothes.

There are also some new upcoming collections that they will be adding, so a trendy Evans is in our futures. Smiles all round.

Look at all the pretty jewellery!

And here are the outfits I tried on...

I really liked this shirt dress too but thought it was still to pricey for what it was.

My favourite of them all was this Scarlett and Jo prom dress. If only I could afford it...

Next is Yours Clothing, I didn't take any pictures of the shop itself as it was quite small and narrow. I tried on a few dresses but only a couple of things sparked my interest.

First of all this dress!! I actually really liked it! It is a quite light weight material so would be perfect for summer.

I really liked this lace dress too, the lining was a bit off but at the same time I loved the sweetheart neck line and where the sleeves stopped on my arm.

This dress was not so good,it didn't flatter any of out figure but you win some you lose some!

Finally, I tried on this polka dot dress, you can never go wrong with polka dots! I would have preferred it to be a little bit longer though.

And now a few pictures from the rest of the outing, the weather was so nice!

Shopping with girls who you have something in common with is great and its nice that we all similar taste in clothing but style it differently.

Here are the lovely ladies I went shopping with.

Much Love,
