I have to say I have never been a fan of the Joe Browns range. It was always a little to hippy for me but a few weeks ago I got a little booklet through the door showing the new range available and I was blown away by all the beautiful retro pinup style dresses they had! I had skimmed past some of them on the Fashion World website as the pictures were too small and grainy to see the beauty of the prints. Viewing the high quality and detailed photos opened my eyes to the beauty that is Joe Browns! It is safe to say I am now a firm fan of this range thanks to this dress!

Fashion World were kind enough to send me the Colourful Coral 50's Dress to review since I am new to the range. I am in love with this dress! It is a thick cotton shirt material with stretch. I have a couple of dresses made with this material already and they are two of my favourite dresses in my wardrobe.

I ordered the 26 not knowing how it would fit and it is actually perfect for me. The length is great and the cap sleeve detail is very pretty. The neckline is great for my bust and I can see me wearing this dress a lot this summer. The flower print is beautiful and my Mr was very complimentary about this dress too. It would be perfect for any summer event and could easily be wintered up with a nice thick pretty cardi.

This past weekend my hubby booked a friend and myself into a Spa for the night. I thought it would be the perfect chance to show off this dress! We went for cake and coffee before checking in and the weather was lovely. I felt like a Summer Stunner in this dress! If you are like me and have not tried Joe Brown before then I can safely say that you will not be disappointed in any purchase.

Another glasses post from me is no surprise since I have a passion for the little things. I am always on the lookout for new places to buy glasses and sunglasses at a reasonable price. I came across iclickoptical while searching insagram and was impressed with there range of cheap & designer frames. In this post I will share with you some sunglasses I got that are cheap frames and I chose to have prescription lenses fitted.

I placed the order and waited. I know from past experience with post from the USA that it can take 3 weeks for orders to arrive so was surprised when the package below arrived earlier than expected.







Keep an eye out for my giveaway in the next couple of weeks too! I am such a tease!

After seeing every blogger looking super hot in the Simply Be Pink Biker Jacket I managed to get one on ebay thanks to Patty - http://whatpattydifusaloves.blogspot.co.uk/ I also got this Asos Curve dress thanks to Mel - http://www.uponthesea.co.uk posting a pic on instagram! I got the jacket in a 22 as it was all that was available. I probably could have done with the 24 but I can make it work. It is a lightweight almost rubber material and oh so cute. The dress is a 24 and true to size. It has a stretch to it and is fitted under the bust. The arms are also a good size and not tight.

These pics are really rubbish. Sorry for the dark and grainy quality. I was going to take more pics but then I spilled my dinner down myself and had to throw the dress in the wash so I was stuck with these or wait to wear it again.

The bag is from Accessorize and is super cute! I will be using it a lot this summer. I is big enough for the essentials. I would love a big version of this or other fruit such as watermelon!

I wore this to the Rad Fat Leeds Clothes Swap on Saturday. I also gave my Big Bloomers Company/Big Tight Company - All Woman Anti-Chafing Knickers an outing. I saw the review Leah of Just Me Leah Blog (see post HERE) did of these and ordered a pair straight away. I have to say they are magical!!! So stretchy, comfy and not crotch meltingly hot! Perfect to wear with dresses this summer so I don.t need to wear leggings. I will be purchasing the black version and longer lengths. The only thing I would say is I would like them longer on top so I could pull them right up to under my bust and bra at the back. I would say they are true to size and don't dig into your belly or legs like some. These are not like spanx. They are not shapewear although they do give a bit of smoothing.

I highly recommend every fat woman get these and try them! Says it all really.

The Swap was packed as usual. Saw a lot of new faces which was great and lots of old faces which was great too.  I didn't get to have a good look as Franklin was with me and needed feeding. I still managed to get a few things though. Everyone that wanted to see Franklin got to say hello although cuddles were hard to get as Charlie kept him for herself. He also got to meet his future bride! Too cute. Love at first sight, for him anyways.

If you didn't already know I am specs obsessed then you have not been paying attention! I love glasses, glasses print on anything and everything! When I saw this on the Evans website I was surprised and happy to be able to buy another glasses print top. I am not a fan of hanky hems. I don't actually know any fat people who are but they seem to saturate the plus size market.

Being a RAD FAT that has no problem showing off my VBO (visible belly outline) the shortness of this at the front is not an issue but for most fats it would be. Which is why I don't understand the hanky hem as being a popular seller. I would much prefer a longer front and back. As I said it is not an issue for me which is why I bought it and wear it.

It is a Navy thin tshirt material and the glasses are printed onto the tshirt which means with stretch they do crack and I am not sure how it will wash but for £19.50 I can live with it. When I was on the website I had a good look and have put together a Top Picks post which is also up now so take a look.

I am so in love with the Scarlett & Jo for Evans Prom dresses! They are beautiful and glamorous. Everything I like in a dress. I have yet to own one but have tried a few on in store and find the fit and quality to be great.


I am a sucker for a heart print and this one is super cute. Bodycon dresses are great and the print on this one is just lovely. It is also 30% off on the website at the moment so I have ordered!
