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.

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!

A Little Spring In My Step....

 Good morning my lovely friends!

Today I am sharing an outfit that is totally not my usual style but that I have come to love throughout the day of wearing it.

I think you will all know this familiar H&M princess midi skirt and since buying it, it's been a real staple in my wardrobe. Although my preferred pairing is with a crop top, like in my first post here, that just isn't work appropriate, or so I have been told. So I had to come up with something else. 

I attended the George at Asda press day last week and was very kindly gifted some items from the current range and this beautiful white top was one of them. It feels and looks gorgeous and the embellished collar looks like one that belongs on a much more expensive top.

The entire outfit made me feel sophisticated but light and Spring-like.

I saw these little flats in Primark and now have a very strong urge to return and buy other prints and colours as they are so comfortable but also the sweetest print and shape.

I used to be a pointy shoe hater, but I am no more... they are clearly the way forward.

I won't forget to mention my epic new silver purse, also from Primark. It holds everything and anything and is so shiny it that you can almost see yourself in it.

What I am wearing:

Top - George at Asda

Skirt - H&M

Cardigan - Primark

Flats - Primark

Purse - Primark

So there you have it - an outfit that will hopefully inspire you all to get out your spring attire and get dressed up. If not now, then when?!

What are you most looking forward to wearing, now that the sun is peaking it's head out?

Harry Fay - A Ring That Fits!

Good morning everyone!

I am really excited to bring you this post today as it's about plus size rings. I know to some of you this may sound crazy but finding rings for bigger fingers isn't easy, so it's really nice when you do and they are nice.

Harry Fay contacted me to see if I was interested in trying out one of their beautiful silver rings and I agreed. Ever since I was in high school and started wearing more jewelry, I have had trouble finding rings for my chubby fingers so for a company to offer up sizing in rings that are gorgeous and silver, this is definitely exciting. 

I chose the beautiful Georgette ring with pink and white cubic zirconia and a silver band.

It fits like a glove and is so sparkly and bright. Their online sizing is easy and right on so you don't have to worry. It also come in a gorgeous little red ring box too - so perfect for a gift.

Harry Fay also do other silver jewelry, including men's rings so no one gets left out. Have a look at their website, everything is gorgeous.
