Since I had two tickets for the Awards I offered the ticket to my instagram/twitter followers and asked who wanted to be my date. I picked a winner at random and it ended up being the beautiful and ever so lovely Michaela. It was her first plus size event! First of many hopefully! You can follow her on instagram @astutefiery



I have a few items from the first Beth Ditto Collection and they are beautiful and I wear them regularly because they are so comfortable and stylish. This second collection is just as amazing if not better! The make up/beauty them runs through both collections and this is the Ball & Chain dress and there is a circle waist detail with stitched circles and a thin tie to give shape. The sleeves are almost like a batwing style which fits my fat arms the ease and also allows room for my large bust. I did worry the waist may be too high as my bust tends to pull things up but this was lovely.

With all of the Beth styles shape is a major design factor. each item has a number of interesting details and or shape to it. Pockets are another Beth staple and I don't mean little no point them being there pockets. Big Pockets! All clothes should have pockets!

This dress is a lightweight stretchy poly blend fabric that feels lovely to wear and means no iron required! The skirt has a lot of swish to it and an interesting pleat at the front. The length is almost a midi on my as I am a shortie 5'3'' so would be a good length on taller people also. The sleeves are a perfect length on me also.

The print of this dress is a 3 colour droplet of blood red nail polish which appeals to my inner goth and also my love all things red. I added some red accessories to make it pop.

This dress is so easy to wear and I already have ideas of how I will wear it again so look out for more from this dress on the blog. You can take advantage of the current up to 80% off at Bethditto.com NOW!

As the title say it was my Birthday! I am the ripe old age of 34! Age is just a number and I have no problem being any age. People say act your age and dress for your age but I think both these things are rubbish! Don't act, just Be! I dress however I feel! I think these are both good things and have served me well so far.

Anyways onto the outfit! I wore this beautiful Simply Be Luxe Prom dress from the new collection to my Birthday meal with friends and just all round awesome people! We went to Damons a Rib place in Sheffield near Crystal Peaks. If you ever have the chance to go then order the Onion Loaf ( it is not bread! Just so you are not disappointed).

This dress is just gorgeous! It is the same style as the Poppy Print one they had a while back. You can see my posts about that dress HERE. It is a thick shirt like material with stretch which makes it super comfy and less prone to creases.  I loved the colour combo and modern but also vintage feel to the print with the flowers. Plus polka Dots! Whats not to love really!






The bag is Doctors Bag style which I love and has a removable long strap. The black and cream means it will go with most things and has lots of room for all the stuff us ladies tend to carry around and never use.


How cute are these shoes! The are a platform sole so look higher than they are and are available in E and EEE wide fit. I always have to size down from a 6 to a 5 when I wear wide fit shoes. These are very forgiving as they have the adjustable ankle straps. Can I just say I have never been able to wear ankle straps as they have never been big enough to fit around. These have plenty room and can't wait to rock them this summer as sadly the weather stopped me wearing them out for dinner. They also come in Tan!
