Horizontal Stripes and Queen Bee

Good Evening you lovely lot!!

I said I would have a blogpost this weekend so I'm gonna stick to my promise and give you a blogpost!!!
Motivation: 1 Laziness: 0

I find it so difficult to take pictures for my blog as I don't really have anyone to take them and I'm too cheap to pay anyone to do it for me. I did however manage to steal 20 minutes of my cousins day for her to take some for me!

As you may or may not have seen  on my insta a few weeks back, I went to Bicester Village and I bought a really cool T'shirt from Kate Spade.. I know right.. Me? Fitting into Kate Spade clothes??? Pah!!

Well, I did with this T-shirt and of course I'm gonna wear it loud a proud!! I even did my make up nicely too!!

I got the top in an XL and it fits pretty well. I have problems with tops because of the boobage but this one is okay because it has quite a bit of stretch in it.

Also, did you notice? I'm fat and I'm wearing horizontal stripes! No on died. Shocker!

I always go for optimum comfort with outfits and anything with a bit of stretch in it makes me very happy!

 My aunt told me to take one like this with her only rose! I couldn't do it seriously so that's why my mouth is open!

 Look at them bingo wings!

See I told you my makeup looks good!

Top: Kate Spade

Skirt: Asda

Jacket: River Island

Boots: Newlook

I hope you are all having a good evening!

Much Love,

Abi

#StyleHasNoSize

Hello Lovely People,

A couple of weeks ago I went to and event hosted by Evans called #StyleHasNoSize. It was great to see with friends and meet some new people too! And there were tonnes of pictures taken on the photo booth.

I just loved having a chat with everyone and drinking wine and eating mini foods.

Here are a couple (by couple I mean shit tonne) of snaps of the evening.

Just a note, all of these ladies are gorgeous!!! I also had a lot of fun and laughs and alcohol. Excuse the sweaty mess you see in the white and yellow dress!

And here is my outfit:
The dress is from Primark, the leggings Yours Clothing and my shoes are from New Look.

I had a great time and hope there are many more events to come.

Much Love,

Shop Your Stash

Hello Lovelies,

Here is my first post on 'Shop Your Stash'.

This challenge was created by Hollie from Pretty Big Butterflies. She says:

' Welcome to the Shop Your Stash Challenge. This is all about a gem in what you already own a creating a blog post on it. This is to let go a little of the stress that comes with being a blogger- even if it is just once a month. Rummage through your beauty products, climb through those clothes drawers. You might surprise yourself!'

I love a good blog challenge and I think Hollie has hit the nail right on the head! I have so many things I want to share with you all but feel like I can't keep up because of the constant change in trends and fashion. I have decided to do a beauty(ish) post as I haven't really done many on my blog and this is something I have recently become more and more interested in.

I discovered Sanctuary Spa products a few years ago and to me they are a luxury that I buy for myself around Christmas!

I bought this in January and I LOVE it SOOOOO much!! I use it after a shower as I am a clean freak that has to have a shower first before she uses a body scrub.. Don't hate!

Moving on... after using this my skin feels so smooth (probably because it has peeled off about a thousand layers) and moisturised. It is the best body scrub I have ever used and is smells amazing.

I bought mine in Boots and it was on offer at the time, but with an £11.50 price tag I don't think it is too steep. I also think it is currently in their 3 for 2 offer.

This is what it looks like inside and I will be using the jar after I have finished with the scrub as it is so nice!

Please check out the other ladies that are taking part!!

I Feel Good!

Hello Lovelies,

Here is my photo for this months 'I Feel Good' Challenge!

I never really take selfies *shudder* because they make me uncomfortable but I am trying to step out of my comfort zone so here is my second proper one!

I hope it is more pleasing to your eyes than mine.

The Finale!! 30 Days 30 Dresses

Hello Lovelies!!

Today is the final day of 30 Days 30 Dresses. This post has come a bit late in the day but I have been busy job hunting and fixing my car.

Here is the dress I wore today!!

Dress - £12.50 - Very

I am loving Maxi dresses at the moment as they are good for this kind of weather and also because it means I don't have to wear tights. BONUS!

To all who did, thanks so much for following this journey!!

Much Love,

30 Days 30 Dresses 22-29

Hello Lovelies!!!

We are almost at the end of the 30 Days 30 Dresses Challenge! I think I have done really well (bar 2 days).
I'm so happy that I managed that many! It's been fun! My mum is refusing to take more picture after this challenge though so the next person I pick to do them is my brother.

So here is the breakdown of my outfits from the past week or so.

Day 22

This is the first time I have cracked this dress out since I bought it. It is neon pink and waffle textured. I love it so much and I shall be wearing it more as the weather gets better.

I bought it from ASOS in the sale for £5!!! Absolute bargain!

Day 23

I am becoming a huge fan of wearing jumpers over dresses. I think it makes an outfit look a bit more interesting and is a change from tucking stuff in. Again I bought this dress from ASOS for £5 in the sale. It's the same as the pink one but in black.

Day 24

Here I am wearing a denim dress from Littlewoods. I have, again, worn a jumper over the top which is from Matalan. I have also put collar tips on the dress.

Day 25

This dress was given to me by my aunt and it is from Sainsbury's. I am wear a faux leather top over it, which I think, compliments the dress very well.

Day 26

I picked this beauty up in the Fat Positive clothes swap I went to a while back. It is from Club L and I love it so much. I hope there will be another swap soon. I met so many lovely people.

Day 27

Polka dots! What more could you ask for? I am a huge fan and this dress is perfect for the warm weather we have been having.

Day 28

It was my Uncle's birthday party over the weekend and he had a BBQ. I thought I would try and dress up a little bit so I wore this red cold shoulder dress that I bought from Forever21+. Over the to is a vintage shirt I bought from the plus size market earlier this year for a pound!

Day 29

This is a rust coloured dip hem dress from Debenhams in the sale. I love the colour and it is very light weight so is good for layering.

Have you noticed that my slippers appear in almost all my photos? I can't help it, they are just so comfy!

I have loved this challenge and it has indeed been a challenge. I have really had to think about what to wear and which dresses I love the most. So, So hard!!

I hope you guys are enjoying this challenge too!

Also I have another haul video coming up soon so please do subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can check it out. I would love to know what sort of videos you would like to see as well!

Much Love,

OMCZ #29

Hello Lovelies!!!

Here is the next instalment of Outside My Comfort Zone. This weeks topic was picked by Hollie, she said:

'Pastels are here for Spring and Summer but I'd love some inspiration from you lovely ladies. I want to see you flourish in fondant colours. Pinks, mints, sky blues... the list goes on. I don't want to hide away this Summer so this will be good practice'

This jumper is probably the only pastel colour item in my wardrobe and I bought it early last year from Matalan. I love this jumper and it's a great addition to my spring wardrobe! Hopefully I will be adding more pastel colours in the future.

Also did you notice a change in hair style?? Yes I know!!

Please have a look at the other wonderful ladies taking part.

30 Days 30 Dresses 14-20

Hello Lovelies!

First of all, Yes! I have missed out a couple of days but with a really good excuse!! Day 13 and today there has been no one around to take my photos unfortunately but never fear. I have some lovely dresses to show you.

Second, I am still trying to get the hang of using this camera. It's extremely temperamental so some photos are really good quality and others just make me sad. I have, however, decided to start saving up for an SLR. Hopefully I will have one by Christmas this year.

Let's get on with these outfits!!

Day 14

I picked this dress up at the Fat Positive Clothes Swap and at first I thought it wouldn't fit me but it is perfect. I do believe that it is home made as well!! Lucky me! A one of a kind dress.

Day 15

I went to visit a friend in London and she said I should try out some new, more natural poses for my blog. It was a really nice day and I think she took some really good shots!! I am wearing a Dorothy Perkins dress that I bought in the sale at the beginning of this month.

Day 16

This is a dress but it is just really short on me. I'm thinking it may be petite. I got it from the H by Henry Holland section in Debenhams and I wore the leather look leggings that I got from Primark which were in my Collective Haul video.

 Day 17

This is a Marks and Spencer fit and flare dress, which I thought looked a bit too smart on its own. To make it more casual I paired it with a denim shirt (from South I think) which I tied at the waist and a statement necklace which was also in my collective haul video.

Day 18

The weather was great, if a little bit windy, so I cracked out a maxi dress from the Dorothy Perkins sale last year. To protect me from the cold wind I wore a Marks and Spencer shirt and tied it at the waist.

 Showing off some leg....

Day 19

I got this dress off Big Fat Betty's blog sale a couple of weeks ago. It is AX Paris Curve.

It's a bodycon dress and is just about knee length on me. I love this dress so much.

Day 20

Phew! We have come to the end of the post! I bought this dress of Dorothy Perkins. Its a denim smock dress with floral print and it comes in a variety of colours and prints too!

Blue Floral Print Denim Dress
Indigo butterfly Denim Dress
Petite Floreal Denim Dress

Are any of you lovely people doing this challenge along side us bloggers?

It would be lovely to see some of your favourites!

Much Love,
