I was a cherry cola girl and I loved it.

I was made aware of a seller on eBay selling beautiful skirts in beautiful prints up to really large sizes and I got really excited, When I went to have a look i literally couldn’t decide on a print and I noticed that the seller had one print at a lower price so I picked up one of those so I could try one out.IMG-20150702-WA0031

I absolutely love how cute and girly the print is, when it arrived I didn’t think it was very me but I actually really love it. It was a really sunny day when I got it so I wanted to keep the whole outfit really light and summery, I have on a primark Barbie tee and an old evans denim jacket and evans sandals.IMG-20150802-WA0017

poly cotton ditsy floral This skirt comes in only one design and is made from a poly cotton and costs around half the price of the other 100% cotton skirts that come in a range of different prints. I bought this one first to get an idea of fit and quality before getting the other skirt.

AND THEN I DRESSED UP AS CHERRY COLA FOR FUN lol

unfortunately they have completely sold out of the red on black cherry print but they have so many other option s including red on white cherry print so you too can be a cherry cola girl lol.

Range of skirts here there are so many different prints to choose from and a number of lengths so you can get exactly the style you are looking for. The eBay seller also has some matching neck ties and some cinch belts to complete the look.

I think for my next one I will go for a more traditional vintage print like the polka dots… Let me know which is your favourite.

Plus size in the House! (of Fraser)

Last month I was contacted by House of Fraser about their plus size options on the website and I am so glad they did. I had no idea that House of Fraser stocked plus size clothes and on visiting their website was pleasantly surprised at just how many items there were available in my size.

House of Fraser offer a number of different plus size brands in their Plus Size Section from Evans, Scarlett & Jo and Samya to higher end brands like Grace.

A picked two items from the website that I really like and knew I would wear a lot. I went for a really nice and casual midi skirt with pockets and a pink check babydoll dress both from Evans.

I didn’t really have a choice when it came to the skirt because it has pockets, I am a little bit obsessed with skirts with pockets, Its just a really nice everyday skirt that can be worn with not much thought and  love pieces like that so it was an obvious choice.

I chose the baby-doll dress because of the shape, I love this shape dress on my body and the pink is a colour I don’t ever wear so I thought it was a good opportunity to have something a little but different.

I wore the dress for an evening out for dinner with friends and finally got a change to take my unicorn clutch out for the night, I had had it for quite a while and have been dying to take her out!

House of Fraser have a lot to offer in the way of plus size clothing and I think its definitely worth checking them out for a wide range of options all under one roof.

 

But first, let me take a CÉLFIE!

But first, Let me take a Celfie

I have never really been a fan of having writing across my chest as I feel my boobs already draw the eye, but when Yours Clothing contacted me about this Celfie T-shirt I have to admit I was a little excited. I make a big deal about dressing out of societies comfort zone so I excited to spend my day with people reading my boobs and I discovered that I actually really like statement T-shirts and have already started looking for another one.

I am away in London for a week so my clothing options are limited so  pair this tee with my Scarlett & Jo prom skirt and use it as an opportunity to show the skirt really dressed down.

This is just a really quick post to show off the T-shirt, I surprisingly really love it. The fit is really nice too, It has a dipped back and a slight puff sleeve.  Available here if you want a better look.

I went to a plus size clothing swap in North London and then went to see my aunt to say Happy Birthday, drop off her present and of course for the abundance of food and cake! I then went on to meet some friends for drinks in town and stayed out til the wee hours and I got a lot of compliments on the outfit throughout the day.

My necklace was one that I picked up in the ASOS sale and this is the first time I’m wearing it but I really love that too.

 

 

 

Still blossoming in Winter.

Since Scarlett & Jo became available in Evans they have been producing item after item that I have lusted over. I, like everyone else on the planet fell in love with the infamous prom dress but by the time I was able to buy it everyone and their cat already had it. Then the prom skirts came out and I knew I had to have one. A little late to the party (or prom lol) again I now have a beautiful Scarlett & Jo prom skirt. They are still available HERE on the Evans website on sale and in three colours.I chose the purple because with winter approaching I wanted something that was dark enough to wear throughout the colder season but with the vibrant flowers it still stands out beautifully.

The skirt has an elasticated waistband and is so comfortable, I have on a size 30 and it fits great so you could easily size down if need be. The skirt has a built in tulle underskirt and feels so girly and ‘flouncy’ to wear. It really feels like a luxury piece when you have it on. I know with all my extra padding I shouldn’t need the help of tulle to fill out the skirt but it just makes it so pretty.

This is just going to be a really picture heavy post as the skirt is so gorgeous!

This is probably my favourite skirt at the moment and I can’t wait to see what Scarlett & Jo come out with next. They have some beautiful vintage jersey dresses in at the moment. Go check them out.
