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,

John Lewis - Studio 8 Launch

Morning Everyone!

A few weeks ago I was invited to the Studio 8 Launch for John Lewis. I was so excited as I didn't know that John Lewis had a plus size section and I couldn't wait to see what they had to offer.
When I arrived I was met by a lovely lady and taken to a meeting room. And of course in my true fatty form headed straight for the food, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

We had a nice chat about the collection with the designers and some of the John Lewis staff. Everyone was really lovely and welcoming. I also met some fabulous ladies on the evening and I had a really good massage from the wonderful ladies at Clarins.

The range goes from a size 16-24. We got to try on clothes from the range and here are my favourites.

I love this dress and jacket combo, I am quite tall so I would have to wear this with really thick leggings.

I tried on the 22 (in the dress) but for comfort think I would have liked to try on the 24 because... well because boobs.

The print on this dress (heart eyes emoji) I wasn't to keen of the fit on me but the material does fall nicely and is in scuba material so has a bit more give than many of the others I tried on.

 I don't spend much time travelling on public transport so this mac would be perfect for winter. I could just imagine it with a nice pair of chunky boots and a blanket scarf.

This wrap dress has to be my favourite out of the whole collection. I love how it fits and I love the colour.
It is so comfortable and hugs my figure perfectly. 100% YES!

And last but not least, this emerald green dress. I had to size up a bit because again, boobs, but apart from that this is a beautiful dress. The lace was a bit itchy but I had been trying on clothes for about an hour by this point so being hot and trying on clothes and the posing for a photo would make me a bit uncomfortable.

The dress was the perfect length for me and cinches in at the waist to give some shape. it is full lined and I got to swish around in it, so it made me happy.

#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,

So, I'm not wearing a dress...

Hello Lovelies,

I bring you another outfit of the day!! Yay! I really don't know what has happened to me recently but I am just finding huge amount of Inspiration and motivation. I do hope it continues this way!!

If I can find links to all the items I will put the below!

I had my cousins birthday do a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to look nice but not too dressy.

I went for this combination.

What I wore:

Print Shirt,  Simply Be

Sleeveless Blazer, Simply Be

Disco Pants, Simply Be (from plus size clothes swap)

Shoes: Dorothy Perkins

Statement Necklace: Chunky Cat Cuddler

The shoes probably weren't the best idea as it was absolutely freezing! Oh well! At least they added colour to my outfit.

Much Love,

To The Maxi

Hello Everyone!!!

Today I bring you an outfit if the day. I live mostly in dresses because I find they are easy to put on and I don't have to think about whether my top will match with my bottom.

I ventured into Simply be (on Oxford Street) a few weeks ago and they had 20% off this dress which, personally, I thought was a win!! Unfortunately now it has gone back up to £60 but never fear boxing day sales are just round the corner!!

What I wore:

Fedora, Primark

Dress, Simply Be

Necklace, House of Fraser

Faux Leather Jacket, Very

Boots, Primark

Now it's starting to get cold I think I will have to put away the jackets for a while!

Much Love,

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,
