Fat Kisses

Tuesday, November 08, 2016

“I wanted to make pieces to last years. Beyond trends, beyond chain stores. I wanted to create something all its own, something just for us, made with love and consideration. Made ethically in the USA as a small company with no corporate input. Uncompromising, unapologetic, humane, and timeless. Go-to pieces designed to last.”- Beth Ditto

Yes Beth Ditto has a clothing line and Yes it is expensive. I bought some pieces in the sale and I am so impressed by the quality, styles and designs. These are statement pieces and made to be worn for years to come. I bought a couple of pieces from the Evans Collection that Beth did years ago and they are still firm favourites! I see these being the same.

This is the Kim Style top and is very oversized and boxy so fits all shapes and sizes. I am wearing the 3x and could have bought a 1x and have no doubt it would have still fit my size 26/28 body. I used a belt to give shape. The print is just so fun and the colours are vibrant.

I have styled it quite casual. I was feeling rather down at the time but putting on this beautiful piece of clothing designed for fat bodies like mine by an amazing woman that inspires me was just what I needed. Fashion is not just clothes or material it is magical and can transform a timid mouse into a roaring lion.

Feeling confident can come from looking great and that is a powerful thing. Fashion is powerful and I love it!

Thank you Beth for empowering people and empowering me!

Seeing 3D

Tuesday, April 05, 2016

How amazing are these glassesporn by Lindsay Lowe Eyewear!!!! I was sent these to review but really I was in love with them the minute I saw them. They are available as clear lenses to reglaze with your own prescription or as sunglasses. The Fright Board ones glow in the dark! YES I said GLOW IN THE DARK but you will have to wait for my full review with photos later as this post is all about the Signature 3D Yellow Spotted beauties below. These really are conversation starter pieces as Lindsay says "Start a conversation" on all the promo stuff.

As the sun showed itself for a while today I took the chance to wear the Yellow 3D frames with a yellow themed outfit. The glasses remind me of The Flintsones with the bright Yellow bold print. They are a sturdy plastic frame with the print on the back of a clear frame which gives a great glossy magical look in sunlight. They have solid black thick arms which again make for a sturdy frame. They are a medium to large frame so will fit almost everyone. The Lindsay Lowe Eyewear heart logo is on the arms and you can spot it on the bottom left of the Yellow frame.

I can see me wearing this frame a lot this Summer with most outfits as the yellow really goes with anything. I can't wait to style some more outfits with these frames. The clear lense option is slightly cheaper than the sunglasses option so keep that in mind if you will be reglazing with your prescription. I did think about getting these reglazed as sunglasses but it will reduce my wearing as the sun is not in the UK much.

I saved my favourite photos from the Velvet shoot for last! I just love this look! My Hubby says I look Like a sexy Superhero! What more could you ask for?!

This dress is from the Beth Ditto/Evans Collaboration 10 years ago and I have worn it maybe twice. At the time I bought it I was not as confidentas I am now but loved fashion and just had to have it.

Make sure to check out BethDitto.com for her NEW Collection! These are some of my faves!

Seeing these photos now I know I will be wearing this dress lots and giving it the love it deserves. I have kept it safe in the wardrobe for too long! Fashion is made to be worn not just admired on a hanger waiting for a day when you have lost X pounds.

The dress is actually on backwards! The neckline in a deep curve and I wanted a less boobular look for the shoot and I think it looks great this way too.

Rocking a bodycon and double belly vbo (visible belly outline) will be some peoples idea of a nightmare and it was mine also many moons ago! I hope that seeing these photos you see that it is not something to be afraid of! If you love the dress then wear it! If your belly sticks out.....so what!

Rock out with your belly out!!!!

Fat Legs & VBO

Friday, September 18, 2015

I am a sucker for a polka dot and this was something a little different from what I would usually wear. The sleeve and bodycon shape were interesting. It is from the Unique 21 range new to Simply Be. This dress is available in size 12-26. I ordered the 26 and figured if it didn't fit or I didn't like it on me I could send it back. It arrived and I put it on straight away and still was not sure. I decided to wear it and see so this is me wearing it and I actually love it!

The material is a thick stretch and perfect for the colder months. There is a zip at the back but I never use zips and slipped it on easily. Rocking the VBO (Visible Belly Outline) and my DB (Double Belly) with love for every bit of it!

I think this would actually look really good with my Romwe Collar too. It was also the perfect outfit to show off my Fancy Lady Industries Brooch. I have a few pieces from her over the years and she does some radical stuff so check her out!

Fat Polka

Saturday, April 18, 2015

Polka dots are a favourite of mine and this black random polka dot dress from Yours is so cute! This is a size 24 and it is a good fit for me. I would say it is sized large. The sleeve length and loose feel is lovely and feels like a Summer dress.

It is a Swing dress so is loose all over but added a belt to give shape. I had a hard time choosing what accessories to put with this as it lends itself to anything really. I went with brown belt and shoes and added the"fat" necklace by Natalie of FancyLadyIndustries.com that my friends Kat of ALittlelLessCatty.com sent me.
