I recently had the complete pleasure of shooting some looks with the imitable Alex of State Of Love & Trust and where better to share them than here! I actually wanted Alex to shoot my wedding in August but she was already booked on my date so we arranged this shoot instead. So keep an eye out for a few more blog posts soon.

This dress was a gift from Navabi. The print and colours were a must for me. I am wearing a size 28 but could have sized down due to the style and stretch fabric. The dress was light and airy with these amazing sleeves. Sadly I was not able to find the dress on the website to link so may be out of stock now.

I love a good hat and this one was actually given to me by a lovely friend. Thanks Dave! He found it in a charity shop. Belt is from the last Sheffield Plus Size Clothes Swap. The glasses are La Femme en Noir and earrings are from Ebay.

This Winter I have been drawn to animal prints and blue. I bought this Simply Be Zebra tunic/dress in a 26 and it is a little large so wearing it with these neon red aka Snag Shepherds Delight tights. I thought the dress may shrink in the was but it didn't.
Some red accessories and my star boots to finish off this look. Not for the faint of heart but perfect this little punk rocker chick!

If you didn't already know that I love all things Halloween.....you do now! I got this lightweight jumper from Simply Be and it is super oversized. I ended up keeping the size 24/26.


I bought this leopard skirt in the New Look sale and it is a thick knit material so is quite cozy.


I am 5'3 and a size 26 bottom 28 top so on the Snag size Chart the tights I ordered is F and they are a perfect fit for me. Check the chart before you order and no need to size up as they are super stretchy. Seriously the best tights EVER. I prefer the thicker ones that are 80 D

I am Scottish and love tartan. I have been wanting a tartan coat for years and never found one that fit my bust until now. I found this beaut in Asda of all place. They only had a size 20 but I tried it on and was surprised how roomy it was. I of course went home and checked their website for my size. It only went up to a size 24 but I figured the 20 was big so would probably be safe with the 24. It is tight over my belly but I can live with it!


Simple old Scarlett & Jo dress and Clarks brogues because brogues are my faves.

I have not shopped with Evans in quite some time but I bought some leggings and a dress recently and was very impressed with the shape and cut of the dress. They actually use fat models to fit the clothes they make not just size up from a smaller size like some brands!


This Winter has been all about the leopard print again and I am a happy lady. I saw this dress on the website and fell in love. I ordered the size 28 and it fits my bust great. The neck could do with being a little smaller but the sleeves are great.


I wore grey Snag tights with it and used the fabric belt from the dress as a tie with pin to look smart. The glasses are Red Or Dead and were available from Specsavers years ago and I missed out. I have been on the hunt for a pair ever since and found these at Retro Spectacle.

Recently I ordered a load of tights from Snag and honestly I love them! They fit my short and fat body perfectly. This mustard colour inspired me to hunt this very old Modcloth dress out of my wardrobe.

A couple of weeks ago I made my way to Manchester to have lunch with the @YourSizeYourStyle team and @Bethany Rutter from Navabi. We also did a little fashion shoot which you can see below.


If you are not aware of @YourSizeYourStyle it is the wonderful idea of @The_Em_Edit to have dedicated instagram pages from size 16-30+ that is curated by someone of the same size to showcase what is available and inspire others of the same size.


I thought it was such a great idea I asked to help and now curate the @Size28Style instagram page. To get involved all you have to do is tag your outfit photos on instagram with your size page or if your page is private (we won't see your tag) just send it to us in a Direct Message so we can share it!


Navabi contacted us as they loved what we were doing and wanted to support us and our members. Each member of our team picked a glam Festive party outfit from the extensive Navabi website so we could share it with our members and we also did and amazing £500 voucher giveaway!


Everyone looked amazing the outfits they had chosen for the photo shoot with the super talented and lovely @OliviaJLphoto


The outfit I chose was this stunning Gina Bacconi Burnout Glitter Tunic/Dress. It is available in size16-30 and I am wearing the 28. There is an under layer which is stretchy but fits like a bodycon dress and the burnout layer is loose on top with a tie fabric belt.


I thought the glitter may be scratchy but it is soft and smooth and integrated into the velvet touch burnout design. It really makes the design stand out because of the shimmer.


The shape of this dress is so easy to wear and worked well with my large bust as the belt is not fixed and was able to put where I needed it. It is a relaxed shaped and so comfortable to wear but looks so smart and ready for any fancy event.

Dress - Gina Bacconi size 28 - Navabi
Earrings - CherryLoco
Boots - Seven7 - TKMaxx
Glasses - His&HerVintage

Also I am back on instagram! Give me a follow @LollyLikes

I have followed Pearls & Swine for many years on social media and have always dreamed of having a special event to purchase one of her incredible head pieces. Binky the beautiful lady that makes all the amazing pieces is a huge sunglasses lover and we often send each other links to new finds.

She let me know that she was expanding into creating her own sunglasses designs and as you can probably imagine I was super excited to see what she would make!

I was blown away with her glitter covered bold fun and funky designs and pre ordered a couple straight away. I was also sent another pair as a lovely gift. Anyway enough of the words on on to the photos!!!!


I ordered the large ones to really go on the wall as art and WOW the are amazing! The are a heavy item due to the size. The Bat pair are still are large statement piece but defo wearable and I will be wearing these a lot this summer!




As you can see my nose is a little squashed but I was boiling hot and my nose was quite slick. I would love to do a proper photoshoot with these sunglasses as they are made for making art in my opinion.

The Bat glasses below are much more comfortable to wear and look just as amazing! These are made to order pieces and you can request custom colours of the glitter to suit any outfit!





 Here are some other designs created by Pearls & Swine and available on the website HERE

Any design can be made as it is simply a plastic cutout fixed to and already made frame! This means the possibilities are endless!
