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!

This is the last of my Beth Ditto reviews and just in time foot the final blowout sale on the website. You can see my other reviews HERE. Beth is focusing on music just now with her new album Fake Sugar and World Tour so grab a pretty before everything sells out!

This is the Lola Lips dress from the first collection. I am wearing a size 26 (size 26 & 28 still available) and it is the right fit for me a UK size 26/28. I need it for the bust. The material like the skirt version is a double layer thick stretchy material with thin stretchy under layer. This is a not really a Summer dress because of how thick it is. It has this lovely crossover neck and short sleeves that fit well. This dress also has the famous giant pockets that this bag could fit in!

I love this length on me but I am a shortie 5'3'' so it would be shorter on taller people. I think the dresses are my favourite bits from both collections. I am a dress lover anyway but the prints, fit and shapes just really speak to me. I really hope that Beth comes back next year with a Collection of equally as awesome pieces or better if that is possible!

Thank you Beth for making load and interesting clothing for fat bodies like mine and for letting me review some of them here! My fashion game is stronger because of you!

I was in Birmingham with my Bestie for a girls night of shopping and good food and that is exactly what we got! I have been to Birmingham twice before but did not make the most of my day trips. We had booked a hotel a couple of minutes walk from the Bullring Shopping Mall and booked a table in The Botanist for our evening meal.

We shopped until we dropped with a pit stop to Selfridges for cake. We had a little rest before getting ready for our evening meal.

I wore my new Scarlett & Jo Stripe dress which has a pussy bow neckline and cuffed sleeves. The dress comes with a thick stretchy black belt but I wore on old red one to tie in with my new ebay bargain cheapo Lips earrings and bag.

The dress is a thick supersoft stretchy fabric and feels lovely on. It is so easy to wear and love how all the lines line up on the shoulders and the seams on the skirt. It is a small detail that makes all the difference to a stripe dress. The waist has a thin and comfortable elastic to it so you could wear it without a belt and it would keep the shape.

You can also get the same dress in a reverse colourway of white with black stripes. Scarlett & Jo are my favourites for offering more than one option in the same style.

If you have not been to The Botanist or have one near you please try it! The cocktails are to die for and the food is the best I have tried. We only ordered a little selection board and a couple of side but couldn't finish it all. The food is very seasoned with salt and pepper so if you are not a fan of that maybe give it a miss.

This post is another Budget Bridal post in the run up to my wedding next Summer. I wanted to share with you what is available to the large and short lady with a range of styles for under £200!


It has been a while since I have done a Budget Bridal post but this one is rather fun! This Lady V London dress has been made in this print in quite a few colours now but this is my favourite. When I first saw it I knew it would make a pretty and fun Wedding dress or any occasion dress. This is the Isabella style and the best shape for my body that I have tried from Lady V. It has lots of room for the bust and as it flares out has lots of room for hips and bum too. This print is not available now but keep an eye out for more colour combinations as you never know! There are always new prints to choose from.

Lulu Guinness has a lipstick bag that is around £300 and I am never going to spend that much on a novelty bag or any bag! I took to ebay my first stop for designer copies and found this beauty for under £17! I know total bargain for such an iconic bag that goes perfectly with this dress.

Another Lady V London Isabella dress here. The Lips print is just the cutest. I have this print in a few colours and with the Domino Dollhouse Petticoat if feel very glam. You may already know I love the vintage American style and saddle shoes to me are just that. The scarf is a very old H&M Lipstick print that I think adds to this look. My style is quite retro and not for everyone and that is ok. I hope you see my outfit posts and smile and see a happy, confident, fat woman that does not live by fashion rules. I choose to have fun with fashion.
