Plus North - A Weekend in Leeds

 Hello lovelies!
Today I want to tell you about my weekend away at the plus size fashion weekend in Leeds called Plus North. I love attending these events, whether they be for bloggers or the public or both, because it's great to see so many lovely ladies who I only ever get a chance to chat to through Facebook or email and because it's a really nice atmosphere.
I was lucky enough to get to model for Yours Clothing on the Saturday for the catwalk event. Although the outfit was a little different to what I usually wear, I had tons of fun and shared the catwalk with so many other amazing girls. It was also a great opportunity to show off my new buzzed hair/mohawk thing which my lovely fiance, Steven, did for me the night before.
I have to say a big thank you to Abi  and Charlie for taking these photos otherwise I would have had none of myself modeling. 





It was great to catch up with friends who I don't get to see often enough because we don't live close to each other and also wonderful to finally meet people that I communicate with regularly from brands. It's nice to finally put a face to a name - and when it comes to bloggers it's also nice to finally meet some of them in person because a blog can say a lot about a person but it's not the same as chatting with them.
I had a great time modeling and far too much fun giggling with friends. I'm pretty sure our entire train car was less than impressed with our snorts of laughter both on the way to and back home from Leeds - but we were having too much fun to mind.
Did you go to Plus North? Did we meet? Tell me what you enjoyed most!

Blog Challenge - Same Size Different Shape #2



Hello everyone!
I am reposting this as the monthly blog challenge, Same Size, Different Shape was to wear a swing dress, and I only have one - this one!
So here we go - I wear a size 20, and straight up and down, and generally speaking, prefer skater style dresses because I like the shape they create. However, I do absolutely love this swing dress.



Dress: AX Paris Curve (Via Mrs Bebe)
Leggings: Sainsburys
Sandals: Primark

OOTD - Tiger-tastic!

Good morning lovelies!
I am back with a quick OOTD post because I couldn't resist sharing this amazing Asos Curve dress that I snagged in the sale. Yes, it is covered in tigers, and yes it is grrrrreat! 






 Leaping Tigers!
I wore it out to Broadway Market on Sunday where we popped in to the V&A Museum of Childhood - and it felt very fitting to the occasion. Here I am playing in the space area. 



The Asos sale has so many goodies in it - get in there!

Feeling Floral for Canada Day

Hello!
So like many of you this past week, I dug deep into my end of month monies and dove into the Asos sale. I was on the hunt for new dresses for the summer, but also ones that I could wear into fall and winter, when worn with tights etc. I'm giving my wardrobe a revamp, and hoping to sell may of my clothes at my upcoming Summer Plus Size Clothing Sale, which you should all come to.  My first Asos purchase was this much loves Alice and You Chinese Floral Print Tea dress. I have been eyeing this up for ages and it did not disappoint.
I wore it to an early Canada Day celebration that I had with my work family at a pub in Harrow-on-the-Hill on Saturday.









Dress - Alice and You via Asos
Shoes - Primark

For those of you who haven't tried Alice and You as a brand, I found this dress to be bang on when it came to sizing. This is a true 20, and fits well. I find Asos' 20 to fit big generally. I also love a good excuse to get my legs and my tattoos out.
Stay tuned for my other sale bits this week!
Did you get anything nice in the sale?

Gingham and Silver!

 Hello friends!
Apologies for the silence again, it's hard to sit down at my computer when the weather is so nice, but I promise  you that I have posts coming! Today I am sharing an OOTD from yesterday where I wore a new Asos skirt that I snagged off of Depop for £7!  I love gingham and it's also grey and lilac, the colour of dreams as far as I am concerned. 
I paired it with a Primark cardigan and my new silver snake print Primark slip ons. (These slip ons have a wide foot bed and are generous on top so check them out even if you have wide feet!).

I am struggling with terrible hay fever at the moment so please pardon the puffy face.


In other news, here I am holding a very special envelope which was sent off to Canada yesterday, containing immigration applications so that Steve and I can move back home close to my family. Send us good thoughts so that our application gets there safe and sound! :) 


What is your favourite Summer outfit? Also have you tried Depop and had any success?

OOTD: Flamingo go go!

Hello everyone!
So today I am finally back after a little break. I spent some time away from my blog, enjoying the sunshine, and the rain and even taking a little vacation to Brighton with Steven. I am sharing an outfit that I wore over a week ago but it must be done because even though it's a little crazy, I really love it.





The polo shirt is a size 20 from Primark and would easily fit a 22 as I have plenty of room in the body under the dress. The dress is from Forever21 and at less than £13 it's a steal!
I love how crazy and bright this outfit is, and people couldn't resist saying something about - who knows if that's good or bad but I am in love with it so who cares.
Is anyone else in love with the Miami neon craze?!
