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.

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.

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

Woohoo! Another Lollidot dress from Scarlett & Jo! Yes I am biased since they are named after me but they are also just awesome dresses. I have never been into cowl necklines but thought I would give it a try and I actually love it. This is the first black stretchy fabric lollidot dress and it is perfect for work or play. I am hoping a few more styles in black are released next year. I have been told there is one more lollidot to come this year and is a perfect party dress.

I am wearing the 26 as I was unsure if the bust would be big enough even with the cowl detail I didn't want it to be too stretched so this was the perfect size for me. The fit, length and sleeve length are all perfect and I really have nothing but two thumbs up for this dress.

I wore this to a family celebration at the weekend and just added a couple of blingy brooches to make it extra glam. Brogues are my go to shoes as they are formal and comfortable at the same time and go with almost everything.

I am so pleased to be sharing this Yoshi bag and purse with you all today! These are not my first Yoshi pieces and I love their quality and designs.

This is a new colour to their collection and the Cornflower Blue is just beautiful. It is such a Summer/Easter colour to me and can see me using it with lots of navy outfits from my wardrobe.

The leather used for this bag is so soft and smooth I couldn't stop touching it! Please take note of the extra long handle that fits all sizes of arms. Seriously think The Rock could get his huge muscle arms through there easily!

The lining is striped and is coordinated to the blue on the outside. All Yoshi bags come with dust bags and are well packaged with tissue. You can also get 10% off your first order!

The cute little matching purse is perfect for those days when you don't want to take your big purse and all those cards you never use. I love a little purse for when I go to the cinema or have a small bag on a night out.

This dress was £12 in the Lindy Bop sale a while ago and it is not great quality. It is super thin and stretchy. I am wearing a size 26. It is only available in size 8/10 in the lipstick print but there is a plain purple option on sale and available in all sizes.










Here is a better look at these beauties. If you love a good leather bag that will last you years and will always be in style then check out Yoshi! They make beautiful plain bags but also they are masters of fun and funky picture designs for all occasions!






This stunning little leather Lobster bag with navy and white stripes will be going to one lucky winner on Intagram/Twitter! Check out how to enter on Instagram HERE & Twitter HERE
Good Luck!

This is my 5th dress in this style from Scarlett & Jo and it is safe to say it is my favourite style for Summer! Thanks to the thin and floaty material and loose fit it makes for a sweat free wear even on the hottest of days. The newest versions feature these cute and useful pockets with flap detail. Any dress with pockets gets two thumbs up from me and this is a 100% winner!

This print is also now available in a pink and purple detail which is super lovely and on my wish list of future purchases! The elastic waist is comfortable and gives shape. The length means it is not flashing your lady parts on a breezy day and the v neck back detail is just lovely.

This was the perfect dress for today. If you have not tried this dress I urge you to now as there are so many prints including polka dots and daisies now available.

This was a cute find thanks to Sarah of TonsaBlush on Youtube. She reviewed a few things including this dress from UK Brand WearAll and I had to give it a try.

I had a discount code and have linked to 20% off at the bottom for you to also take advantage.

This is a super stretchy light material that my lace bra is showing its lumps and bumps. Defo go for a tshirt smooth bra. The collar also has some stretch making this a great comfortable Summer item. It does crease and I do not iron but can live with the creases due to the comfort and price.

I am wearing the 26/28 and it fits well but I would not ear this as a dress as I find it a bit short and I am 5'3'' but as a top this is perfect for me.

The pins I have added to the collar are by a brilliant artist called Chris Bourke and you can get these along with other pins of his and his art on his etsy store linked at bottom.
