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!

I saw this jacket in a post by The Curve Fashion Festival on Instagram and was shocked and over the moon to discover it was plus size! I had a black New Look Biker a few years ago but I am not into lots of black so have had an eye out for something colourful I could rock.

Of course I headed straight over to the New Look website and found this stunning red version along with a green, yellow, pink and a silver version! It was hard to choose which one to purchase. I ordered the size 26 and also this tshirt and kept my fingers crossed that they would fit.

The jacket is slightly small to zip up but I would probably never wear it closed anyway and I think a bigger size would be too big on the shoulders and long in the sleeves. This is slightly too long in the sleeves but I could easily stitch them up if it bothers me too much. I love the red but still have my eye on the silver version!

This look is inspired by my friend Chattermonkey from instagram. She mentioned she wanted to get the yellow version but had not seen it on anyone fat. She had seen a slim person wearing one with a band tshirt and striped trousers which then gave me the idea for the striped skirt. I had been thinking about what to wear the tshirt with and actually really love this look. I call it Pirate Rock! with added Cowboy boots just to confuse people!

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.

Finally October is here! You can probably tell I love Halloween more than anything! This is the first of my Halloween inspired outfit posts and my first outing in the most expensive glassesorn I have ever bought!!! These beauties are by Kate Spade New York and it cost £150!! That is a lot of money to me as I could usually buy 5 pairs of glassesporn for that! I have lusted after these frames for quite some time and could not find a cheap alternative anywhere so after selling a few things on my instagram sale page @lollylikessale I decided to order them. Lets just say I am over the moon with them!

This top is by Scarlett & Jo and it was one of my Style XL purchases. I love the neckline and sleeve length. I have one black dress in my wardrobe and needed a black top as I had none. Everything I own has patterns. The skirt is a year or so old from Asos Curve. I am also rocking my Hanecdote Trick or Treat brooch and super sparkle Desperate Beatnik earrings.  Even Franklin is in the Halloween spirit with his Dracula Top.

I love all things retro and American classic poodle skirts with saddle shoes has to be my all time favourite look.  This outfit just jumped out of my wardrobe at me when sometimes putting an outfit together can be be a bit of a challenge. I am so glad I snapped up this skirt in a Modcloth sale a while back and it goes great with this Everything5Pounds striped top. The shoes and glasses finish off this look and give it the vintage feel.

My glasses were an ebay buy from the USA. They are vintage Ray Ban Glitter Cateye Sunglasses that I had reglazed with my prescription for £10 from Specs-by-post.

If you didn't know already, I am the biggest Goonie Fan EVER! With news this week that there IS going to be a Goonies 2 movie I sported my new tshirt with Goonie Pride! I always have a Goonie tshirt in my wardrobe but my last one died a few months ago and I got this one last month from HMV to fill the space again. I wore this cardi in my last post and knew I would get lots of wear out of a red cardi! The skirt is from ASOS curve which I blogged about HERE a while back.

The glasses are new from Etsy store VintageEyeGlassesCat in Australia. I actually bought another pair with this pair and got them reglazed with prescription last week so have been wearing the crap out of them all week. They are Vintage new old stock so have never been worn. I loved the almost hologram like stripes to the front and corner detailing. Check out the VintageEyeGlassesCat Etsy store for some amazing frames at great prices. Wonderful customer service and they were delivered to me in a week! I think Superman must have brought them to me.

Ok so it is not really weather for crop tops but I have been seeing a few around recently online due to the Skorch Magazine #skorchcropshot on instagram so thought I would throw my flesh into the mix!

The top is Primark via Sheffield Clothes Swap. Boots are Yours Clothing and on sale just now! The skirt reminded me of the Domino Dollhouse one I missed out on so when this popped up on ASOS Curve I grabbed it instantly! I was not disappointed! £20 and a thick stretchy tshirt material. You could easily size down because of the elastic waist.

Plus straight hair. This does not happen often!
