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 not too long. As with all eyelash knit it is super soft and cozy. I will get so much wear out of this cardi and have to admit I am considering getting the other colours too.

If you buy one cardi this winter then this should be it! You will not be sorry!

I woke up in a terrible mood for no reason. Well there are many reasons that include frustration with doctors over my sons care but I decided to put on a new dress and bit of make up and turn my frown upside down. This dress is one of many I ordered from Simply Be recently but only kept a few.

I had seen this dress on the Simply Be instagram when it was first released but figured because of the tulip shape it would not work on me. Since it was a sale and free postage I took my chances and was happy that it fit and looked awesome!

It is the thick stretch cotton fabric that I love and as such makes a great Autumn/Winter dress! Being sleeveless I added my mint eyelash knit cardi that I picked up in the Primark sale last winter and pink leggings. I realise the pink leggings are a bright bold statement but thats the mood I was in and I will no doubt add some green/blue leggings that match the colours in the print for future wears.

The bust is a lovely sweetheart shape that I have never worn before.  The tulip shape is loose on my hips and does make me look bigger than I am but I am fat and happy with that so No F**ks Were Given! This outfit had the desired effect of changing my miserable mood. Never underestimate The Power of Fatshion!

Hope Santa was good to you all and you are having a lovely day getting stuffed with all the yummy foods! I am at my hubbys parents house today so they can see Franklin on his First Christmas. I have been truly spoiled with gifts as I hope you all were. My outfit for today has been blogged about before HERE but I got it when I was pregnant an it was getting tight so have not been able to wear it much. Now it is a bit large at a size 26 but I love it so much I rock it anyway! The cardi is eyelash knit and sooooo fluffy and it just seemed like the perfect Christmas day outfit for me. The necklace was custom from http://www.betenoirejewellery.com/

Franklin and hubby have made my Christmas special and I look forward to next year when Franklin will be able to play and have a fun filled Christmas. Sending my love to you and your families and wishing you all nothing but the best of everything for 2014!

Hello you gorgeous lot! Hope you are all ready for Christmas and as excited as me. It will be our first Christmas in the house and of course with Baby! You might be able to spot the wee guy at the bottom of these pictures.

So this gorgeous eyelash knit cardi with sparkle buttons is from Primark! Yes mint green and a size 20 and just PERFECT!!!! I love eyelash knit. "It's sooooo fluffy" in my best Agnes voice (Despicable Me) and soft. I live in these cardis now.

The dress is from Killstar which is a brand I had not heard of until recently. It is quite goth/metal designs but this kawaii heart print dress with somewhat rude comments on it made me chuckle so had to have it. My Mr was not amused by the "fuck you" comment on it but thats actually the main reason I bought it! When else are you going to find a dress with that printed on it?!

Killstar is not a Plus Size brand but I ordered this dress in their largest size xxl and hoped for the best. It is tight across my bust and stretched out a lot but it is not uncomfortable and I am not bothered by the distortion caused by the stretch. I am a size 24 and my bust is very large so if you are smaller than me or have a small bust this will work for you too. It is a dress but is very short on my tiny frame of 5'4'' so obviously if you are tall it will be more of a top/tunic. I will be wearing it with leggings so length isn't an issue for me.
