Having my five a day with Modcloth!

Good morning!

It's almost the weekend and I can't wait! I have only been back at work for a day and I am already needing a weekend. Today I am going to share with you my new favourite dress that  I ordered from the American site, Modcloth. If you haven't been on and had a mooch about in their plus or standard collection, go do it right away - it's the best!

This is the Bea & Dot Fresh Farmer's Market Dress which is now sold out. 

I love everything about it. I would say their sizing is a bit generous as I have room to wiggle in this dress. I also really love that the background is black because it will be easy to throw on a pair of tights, a cardigan and wear it through winter... fruits are for every season!

Dress : Modcloth

Shoes: Primark

Bag: Primark

All of my photos were taken in Southhampton whilst on a mini holiday with my family. It's beautiful there and part of me wishes that I lived in the little thatched roof cottage behind me in the photos. :)

Have you tried Modcloth?

OOTD - Lovely in Leopard

Hello again!

I thought I would put up a quick post of what I wore to the FashionWorld event that I just posted about below. It was a hula themed cocktail party so I decided to wear another dress that I picked up at the Fat Positive Clothing Swap. 

This dress, believe it or not, is Atmosphere brand from Primark via the swap. It fits like a dream, and has a built in pettycoat for added pufiness. I'm pretty sure this is from ages ago, because I  have never seen something similar at Primark recently.

Fashion World Event - Liz McClarnon Collection

Hello!

So yesterday I had the pleasure of attending a Fashion World event for Liz McClarnon's new swim collection. (For my international readers, Liz MacClarnon was part of the music group Atomic Kitten back in the day). The event was held at Mahiki bar near Picadilly circus which is a pretty neat little place, complete with tiki themed everything.

The swimsuits all have a very pinup style theme to them and this is my favourite, because I love flamingos so much. After seeing the range in person though, I am so gutted that the top just will not work for a larger bust. It only has a shelf bra, which just does not do the trick for a bigger bust like mine - an under wire is mandatory for me in a bikini style top. The bottoms, however are gorgeous and adjust up and down for comfort and style. 

The evening was lovely, including hula dancers, flower garlands and music and over all really fun!

It was really nice to see all these fabulous ladies below and great to catch up over Hawaiian themed cocktails and nibbles.

Thanks to Fashion World for having me!

Have any of you tried this range? I'm sensing this is the year for my first fatkini... stay tuned.
