I love anything striped and usually it is a nautical look with blue and white but this Yours dress is black and white stripes which I thought was interesting! Red is usually my go to colour for accessories. A red belt and red lips is all the accessories I really need but added this gorgeous heart glitter brooch and earrings I got from SummerBlueJewelry. I wore this for filming my interview for the tv documentary I am part of about Plus Size Brides. It was being filmed in my living room which is why I am rocking Birks....
Saturday morning I got up early to go to Meadowhall for the PSBloggers Christmas Meet organised by the lovely Leah aka StyleXL creator!. You might think we were crazy for going to a mall at the weekend this close to Christmas! I will not lie. It was packed. It is hard to dress for Meadowhall at the best of times. I went for as light and comfy an outfit as possible as i always end up a sweaty mess walking around the place for hours. This is as casual as I get! Keep an eye out for Franklin making...
I have really struggled to find a coat this Winter. The boyfriend shape seems to be featuring heavily and I love it but it just does not fit my shape. I need a shorter jacket or a fit and flare style. When I saw this beautiful Tapestry Joe Browns Jacket in Simply Be it was love at first sight. I like the use of the flower pattern tapestry to make the harder look of the Biker jacket style more feminine. I expected the fabric to be quite stiff but it is rather lightweight and soft and fully lined...
I have been looking for a fluffy eyelash knit cardi that is short and red and will go with dresses for the colder months. I finally came across this little gem from J.D Williams and knew I had to have it! I went for my usual size 24/26 as I wanted a snug fit and it is perfect. The colour is more of a Poppy red which is also another bonus for me. Although it is also available in black, cream and a silver grey and sizes 12/24 - 28/30. the sleeve length is not too short and...
This outfit is what I wore to do some last minute Christmas shopping at Meadowhall or MeadowHELL as some call it at this time of year. It is always super warm shopping there but it is pretty cold getting there so I decided to wear this sleeveless dress and cardi combo. It was actually perfect as i only started to overheat just as I was finished shopping. The dress is a stretchy material but quite odd and the Tartan is printed onto it. I am not sure how well this will wash. Update later. It is quite short...
The sales had great promise and I ordered quite a few things but so far this swing dress, bag and a pair of trainers have been the only things I have kept. This Simply Be swing dress with pockets. Not very sturdy pockets as the material is a stretchy moleskin feel. I have a few dresses of this material and it is a great throw on item that washes well and could be described as microfiber. I loved the bold print and the greens. I ordered the tall version and like this length on me (5'3''). It would...
I was contacted by the lovely Charlotte of @Lady_Charlottes on Instagram to show you lovely lot her handmade jewellery and other items. I love brooches and have loads but you can never have too many! Charlotte sent me a Heart brooch that I chose from the 3 available styles and I chose to have the word "MYSELF" stitched onto the banner. There is something special about a handmade item. I have put it onto my denim jacket so it gets maximum wear. I was also sent this lovely hair clip with "LOLLY" stitched onto it! More items have...
JI recently met up with some lovely friends for a bit of shopping and dinner at Meadowhall. I wore my new and amazing Monkey wearing a Fez and Peanut necklace form Luxulite. I removed a couple of Nuts and made them into earrings for a complete look. I got this kimono which is actually a wrap over robe from Asda quite some time ago in a sale and loved the Circus print on it but had not found the right outfit for it. The necklace changed that!!! Perfect pairing with a simple black swing dress and leggings. I...
