Livin' Lavitta Dolce!

Hello everyone!
I am back at last! It has been a crazy three weeks and we are finally done moving from London to Toronto. We are settling in and trying to get our lives sorted and back on track. Both Steven and I are on the job hunt and also trying to get to know Toronto again amidst the Christmas  and New Year excitement. I must admit, I am a little sad that there isn't much snow, but I know it will come.


Today I am sharing a lovely holiday outfit featuring a new plus size brand called Lavitta. The brand sells clothing from size 12-24 so a good size range but definitely room to grow. They have lovely pieces for the Christmas season and plenty of nice day wear as well.


I have been after a furry coat for ages now and when I saw this lovely silver faux fur coat, I couldn't resist. It is so soft and lovely but I would suggest that if you have larger upper arms to size up, as I am wearing a size 24 here when I would usually take a 22.
As soon as I put this jacket on, and paired it with my grey beret, I felt like I had stepped out of the 90s in the best possible way. At first, I had styled this jacket with a fancy skirt and top, ready for a proper evening out, but I decided that this jacket could do more than just the fancy night out that was expected of it. Why not take this epic silver faux fur number out on a more casual night and get lots more wear out of it?


I wore my favourite wellies (boots of the moment, due to all the rain and small amounts of snow) and black denim along with a sparkly, purple top  and my Skinny Dip mermaid bag to add some pizzaz.

Find what I'm wearing here:

Grey Hat (Similar) / Mermaid Bag

Have you ordered anything from Lavitta? I know I have seen posts from other bloggers as well, so they are certainly coming on to the scene, so they are worth checking out.

See you shortly, as I will be posting lots in the next couple of weeks - what with all this time I have!

Up To Your Neck in New Look

Hello everyone!
So I don't have many posts left from my time in London but I am excited to share this one with you because I love layering for winter. I have never really been a turtleneck person but with these high necked wonders making a come back, I decided to give them another try.


I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised to find myself falling in love with my new and very cozy slouchy turtleneck jumper which turned out to be perfect for wearing in this somewhat balmy weather that we are having - both in London and now in Toronto too!


New Look has an epic selection in both standard and plus sizes for knitwear this season that is definitely worth checking out. This big slouchy collared black knit pull over feels chic and relaxed but also warm and cozy.


I paired my new jumper with a soft grey long sleeve shirt from Navabi, my favourite ripped black jeans from New Look and my Melissa wellies. I am also carrying my favourite bag of the moment from Joules - it's an adorable navy leather satchel.


A big sorry for the crazy hair in these photos, my last few days in London were mega windy!
Stay tuned for another couple of posts this week - I really miss being on here more and now that things have settled in, I am ready to get back to blogging more!

Happy Holidays!
