Dollywood

Tuesday, March 29, 2016

This is my homage to Dolly Parton. I felt like the Country Queen in this outfit and the Asos Cape is just amazing.

After trying on Tess Hollidays cape at Curve Fashion Fest I knew I had to have one! It is no longer available but there have been a few other capes available so keep an eye out for more in the future. Also it is pretty much any size fits so keep that in mind if you see one on ebay.

It is a heavy duty piece of fashion! Literally it is heavy from the weight of all those sequins and beads! I am wearing it over a denim dress for added Country vibes.

There will be another post featuring this cape with less of a country vibe.

Simply Be Likes & Dislikes

Wednesday, February 18, 2015

After two trips to Simply Be recently I thought I would share with you my finds and faves!

The first three are from Meadowhall in Sheffield and as always the staff were super fiendly and helpful. More larger sizes in stock this trip too.

The others are from the Edinburgh Fort store and I have to say I was not impressed by the staff. I was in the store for some time and not one member of staff made any effort to see if I needed help once. Even trying on these items there was no member of staff on fitting rooms ro help. I left the store dissapointed in my experience. The changing room had one of the new interactive mirrors but was not set up to use and nobody to explain why. The store looked great and is in a great location. I have shopped in a few different Simply Be stores and this is not the normal from their staff.

Loved this denim dress but size 26 was tight on bust but loose under bust. No 28 in store to try.

Likes this on the website but not on me. This is a 26. Love the oriental print. Has stretch.

Joe Browns flower dress in 26 and I love, want and need it! Slight stretch to cotton like material.

Joe Browns again. Likes this. It is a stretch material and liked the shape of it. This is a size 26.

Liked this online but not on me. I seem to not get on with V necks. This a 28 and has no stretch.

This is a small size 26 and no 28 in store to try on. Stretchy material.

Super cute cropped jacket/bolero size 26. Didn't like the edge down the front. It is just turned over and not fixed down so pulls round as it it a stretch scuba material.

Loved the colour of this quilted stretch jacket but looks like a house coat on me. This is a size 28.

This is my favourite from of all the jackets. It is light and a great print. This is a 28 and can't close it but would wear it open.

A Little Red To Beat The Winter Blues

Monday, March 04, 2013

I have not been 100% the last couple weeks and blogging has been slow so when Kieron from Barratts and The Totality Blog asked for people to review some shoes I jumped at the chance. I was given a £35 limit and found these cute Red Sole Leopard Shoes for £28! There is also 20% off everything on the site just now so you can get these for £18.75!!!!

I am so craving sun and summer and decided to dress for the sun to lift my mood. Hence the colour and hawaii print skirt. I got this Denim jacket yesterday at New Look Inspire and was surprised how well it fit! Sleeves length is perfect on me.

Now for the SHOOOEEES! They arrived super fast and was surprised how light they are. Like walking in air. The soles is a bright red and I just love that detail. They are wide enough for my fat feet and are slightly longer because of the almond shape. The upper is like a waterproof coat feel. It has a slight sheen and seems like it could be wiped clean pretty easy. They are a great buy and totally worth the price with discount. The are also very comfortable and I have not had any problem with blisters. YAY!!

Closer detail of jacket and Charcoal Designs Mermaid Necklace which compliments my summer theme perfectly.

Denim Jacket - New Look Inspire size 24 £19.99

Vest - Primark size 18 £3

Hawaii Skirt - New Look Inspire (old)

The above picture is to show I am still fat sitting or standing. Don't be afraid of your fat. It is part of you and you are fabulous even if you don't know it yet!

Love Lolly x

Thank you Keiron & Barratts for the great shoes and chance to review. All opinions are my own.

Teenage Dream

Thursday, February 21, 2013

Looking at these photos has me feeling like I am back in my teens! Evan the bag is very similar to one I owned back then. I lived in denim shirts and leggings! I was quite the TomBoy. A little larger than I was then and a lot more fatshion savvy I am surprised how happy I am with this outfit. I figured I needed some casual summer wear as hoodies and cardis make me sweat in the summer. I had seen a few denim shirts online at New Look Inspire and thought I would try one. I ordered a 26 as the tartan shirt I had previously tried was too small across my bust but this fits great and I love the popper button and faded detail. I also got the shoes and vest from New Look online. The vest is a two pack and I got the 26 for length. The bag was a birthday gift from Bettie & Jen and the Loveheart necklace from Rebs and the Clock Brooch by & from Rachel. I have awesome friends! The Speach Bubble brooch was from my Mr for my Birthday and the Hello Kitty Glasses Necklace was a gift from the lovely at Charcoal Designs for purchasing some of her amazing necklaces.
