Boho Vibes

Sunday, April 05, 2015

You might have noticed the boho 70s style is very on trend this Summer. While out shopping in the Yours store I tried this long tunic in the Burgundy when I was in store a couple of weeks back and had a hard time choosing what colour to get! It is also available in Khaki.

The stretch material is not too thin and will wash well. The crochet around the bottom is a lovely touch. The print is best seen in the last photo. I could have put a belt with this but I wanted a loose fit. I am wearing the 26 and it fits great in the bust and belly. It is something a little different for me but think I will wear it often.

Evans - In The Fitting Room

Saturday, April 04, 2015

Today I got to try on the beautiful Scarlett & Jo dresses in Evans! My favourites from the current collection. I loved this Red Rose Print Prom dress when I saw it on the beautiful Elena of FrivolousMrsD for whom it was designed for. The colour, cut and print are just perfect for me! I am wearing the 28 and need it for my bust. The fabric has no stretch but the sleeves do. I think this may be my favourite of all the Scarlett & Jo designs.

Next on was the Black Mesh Insert dress. I am wearing a 26 and it fits well. The top is a very stretchy fabric with a thick elastic belt section. I found the belt too wide and it rolled over. The skirt is beautiful and a non stretch fabric with mesh section to give it shape. This dress is very comfortable and love the print and colours.

I was taken with the 80s Art Print top. I don't like the top itself. It sits funny on my bust and the under layer is smaller than the top and clings. I would love this print in a different style as it does come as a blouse but as it is non stretch buttons are a no go for my bust and belly. I couldn't find this top on the website.

Two Babes & A Dress

Saturday, March 21, 2015

How pretty and colourful is this AX Paris dress from Simply Be!? I loved it when I saw Tess Holliday wearing it at her recent meet in Australia. I spotted it on the Simply Be website And had to get it along with a couple other things that caught my eye in the sale.

It is a thick stretch material with slight texture. It will work in Winter due to the thickness and Summer thanks to the beautiful flower print.

Having seen it on Tess Holliday I knew it would fit my arms and bust and decided to get the size 26 which fits perfect for me. The front comes up a bit but most things do thanks to my big bust.

I added a belt to give it a bit of shape since I am wearing black leggings. The bling necklace and earrings are to help brighten up a rather dull day here in Sheffield.

So much love for this dress and will get lots of wear out of it. Quite the bargain for £25!

I am like a fat sister cheering her on from the start line as she has reached further and further in her career and am so proud of what she has done. I have only love and respect for my sister from another mister and look forward to her blasting through all the walls that society has created. X

Dice & Dots

Thursday, March 19, 2015

I cannot pass up a good polka dot! When I spotted this cute skirt on Asos Curve I had to have it. I have a couple of the midi skirts form Asos Curve and love them so adding this to my skirt collection was a no brainer! It is a stretch cotton material and is quite thick and heavy with elasticated waist.

I don't own many tops and love the collar on this old Asos Curve dress so decided to double up and wear it as top. The dice bag is also Asos and very me. The strap is very short so just a shoulder bag really but is easily removed for clutch style use. The necklace was super cheap from ebay for about £2 and I snapped up the shoes in the Clarks sale.

Mothers Day

Sunday, March 15, 2015

Happy Mothers Day! I chose a bright Summer inspired combo to wear today. Another Modcloth dress which I have worn before but not blogged about. I loved the amazing print and it even has a heart shaped pair of sunglasses you can see peeking out from the cardi on the chest.

This cardi was a cheapo from Primark which I have a few different colours and was a beautiful bright pink until I washed it with something blue and now it is dull. The shoes I bought yesterday as they reminded me of Jem & The Holograms!

Being a Mother has been the most stressful and emotional thing I have ever experienced! Along with the bad there are the good of course. I can't even imagine my life with Franklin now. He bring so much joy to my heart and his little smile just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Being a Mother is a gift that not everyone gets and should be treasured. I try everyday to be the best mum I can be for my Son as he deserves the best Mother as do all Children. Sending love to all the Mothers and Children today.
