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

If you saw my previous post I met up with some local bloggers for a bit of shopping and food at Meadowhall on Thursday and I bought this dress from Simply Be. I had not seen it on the website but it is there and on sale! I tried the 26 and 28 and I needed the 28 to fit my bust. It is a smock style dress and I just loved the sleeves and of course the lipstick print! It is a thin polyester non stretch material so would be great for Summer but I will chick on some boots and cardi or jacket and make it work this Winter.

The leggings are Asos Curve cropped version and I always size down in leggings. These are a 22 and they still pull up to under my bust and the elastic waist is not too tight. I also bought the full length version but they are about 5 inch too long on me (5'3'')

I had a much needed haircut on Friday and thought I would take some outfit pics and I don't own hair straighteners so my hair will never look like this again after it has been washed.

On Thursday evening I met up with some Sheffield Blogger friends that you may know already!


Rebecca was home visiting family and is heading back to Canada next month so I wanted to spend some time with her. We met at Meadowhall in Sheffield as it is an indoor mall with great access via train/tram/bus/car.

First stop was Simply Be then Yours Clothing for a browse then try on and ended in a few purchases. Then I had to get some donuts from Krispy Kreme to take home for later. We also bought some chocolate from Thorntons and had a good look around the new Skinny Dip London store.

We had booked to have a meal and many 2 for 1 cocktails at Las Iguanas which I have been to a few times and I am always thrilled with the atmosphere, food, drinks and attentive staff. It really is worth a visit at any time. Rebecca managed to snap some pics of our day.

I wore this cute Halloween Orange Smock style dress from In The Style Curve. This is my second purchase from the new brand and sizing is good. I am wearing a 26 and it fits well although is slightly see through with too long sleeves but for £19 I can make do. It is also available in black or grey.

I love a bargain and I had seen a few fat babes I follow on instagram wearing this cute lemon print dress but figured it was a non stretch material so kind of put it out of my mind until I spotted it on sale at Simply Be for £15.

Thinking it was non stretch I ordered the 28 as the 26 was out of stock at the time and had a lovely surprise when it arrived in all its stretchy glory! The 28 is loose but not too big and the 26 would have fit a little more snug. The only thing I did do was cut off the ties at the end of the ruched sleeves as they had not purpose and the slapping around annoyed me.

I don.t know how this will wash or if the colour will last but the high neck is perfect as the Sun has been burning my chest recently and this solves that problem for bright days. The length is just on my knee and I am 5'3''.

Can I just say that this Yoshi bag goes with EVERYTHING!!! If you have not checked out their website please do and drool over all the real leather fun designs that have been released for Summer! Seriously so cute!

These glasses were an ebay bargain I just had reglazed with my prescription for Specs-by-post.com my go to for all reglazing! The shoes I blogged about previously and are another bargain from Primark that cost the grand total of £3 and fit my extra wide feet.

I love when Gingham season comes around in fashion and I have been after a black rather than blue gingham for a while. I saw this dress on Simply Be and hate cold shoulder style. The dress only goes up to a size 26 and being non stretch material I didn't hold out much hope for it fitting my size 26/28 body but figured I would give this a try and could always send it back if it didn't fit/suit. My issue with cold shoulder styles is that straps rarely cover all my bra and this dress was the same.

I found that the straps were actually sewn lower down so was able to just cut them off with sewing involved and you would never even know there had been straps! (see last photo for before and after) The neck is stretchy but holds its shape and stays up on the shoulders. The waist is elastic making the a super comfortable dress considering the material has no stretch.

It is light and perfect for summer. My only issue is that when sitting it is tight over my belly but it does not bother me to have a vbo so no problem. I loved the embroider detail across the front which does not flap about in the wind. The length is perfect for me but I am a shortie at 5'3'' so if you are taller be aware that it will be shorter on you.

I bought the bag which is actually a makeup bag from TKMaxx yesterday for £10 and threw on some sunglasses, birks and this super lovely hair flower by Kalandra Jane who makes the most beautiful headwear!
