I recently had the complete pleasure of shooting some looks with the imitable Alex of State Of Love & Trust and where better to share them than here! I actually wanted Alex to shoot my wedding in August but she was already booked on my date so we arranged this shoot instead. So keep an eye out for a few more blog posts soon.

This dress was a gift from Navabi. The print and colours were a must for me. I am wearing a size 28 but could have sized down due to the style and stretch fabric. The dress was light and airy with these amazing sleeves. Sadly I was not able to find the dress on the website to link so may be out of stock now.

I love a good hat and this one was actually given to me by a lovely friend. Thanks Dave! He found it in a charity shop. Belt is from the last Sheffield Plus Size Clothes Swap. The glasses are La Femme en Noir and earrings are from Ebay.

A couple of weeks ago I made my way to Manchester to have lunch with the @YourSizeYourStyle team and @Bethany Rutter from Navabi. We also did a little fashion shoot which you can see below.


If you are not aware of @YourSizeYourStyle it is the wonderful idea of @The_Em_Edit to have dedicated instagram pages from size 16-30+ that is curated by someone of the same size to showcase what is available and inspire others of the same size.


I thought it was such a great idea I asked to help and now curate the @Size28Style instagram page. To get involved all you have to do is tag your outfit photos on instagram with your size page or if your page is private (we won't see your tag) just send it to us in a Direct Message so we can share it!


Navabi contacted us as they loved what we were doing and wanted to support us and our members. Each member of our team picked a glam Festive party outfit from the extensive Navabi website so we could share it with our members and we also did and amazing £500 voucher giveaway!


Everyone looked amazing the outfits they had chosen for the photo shoot with the super talented and lovely @OliviaJLphoto


The outfit I chose was this stunning Gina Bacconi Burnout Glitter Tunic/Dress. It is available in size16-30 and I am wearing the 28. There is an under layer which is stretchy but fits like a bodycon dress and the burnout layer is loose on top with a tie fabric belt.


I thought the glitter may be scratchy but it is soft and smooth and integrated into the velvet touch burnout design. It really makes the design stand out because of the shimmer.


The shape of this dress is so easy to wear and worked well with my large bust as the belt is not fixed and was able to put where I needed it. It is a relaxed shaped and so comfortable to wear but looks so smart and ready for any fancy event.

If you saw my previous post I met up with some local bloggers for a bit of shopping and food at Meadowhall on Thursday and I bought this dress from Simply Be. I had not seen it on the website but it is there and on sale! I tried the 26 and 28 and I needed the 28 to fit my bust. It is a smock style dress and I just loved the sleeves and of course the lipstick print! It is a thin polyester non stretch material so would be great for Summer but I will chick on some boots and cardi or jacket and make it work this Winter.

The leggings are Asos Curve cropped version and I always size down in leggings. These are a 22 and they still pull up to under my bust and the elastic waist is not too tight. I also bought the full length version but they are about 5 inch too long on me (5'3'')

I had a much needed haircut on Friday and thought I would take some outfit pics and I don't own hair straighteners so my hair will never look like this again after it has been washed.

On Thursday evening I met up with some Sheffield Blogger friends that you may know already!


Rebecca was home visiting family and is heading back to Canada next month so I wanted to spend some time with her. We met at Meadowhall in Sheffield as it is an indoor mall with great access via train/tram/bus/car.

First stop was Simply Be then Yours Clothing for a browse then try on and ended in a few purchases. Then I had to get some donuts from Krispy Kreme to take home for later. We also bought some chocolate from Thorntons and had a good look around the new Skinny Dip London store.

We had booked to have a meal and many 2 for 1 cocktails at Las Iguanas which I have been to a few times and I am always thrilled with the atmosphere, food, drinks and attentive staff. It really is worth a visit at any time. Rebecca managed to snap some pics of our day.

I wore this cute Halloween Orange Smock style dress from In The Style Curve. This is my second purchase from the new brand and sizing is good. I am wearing a 26 and it fits well although is slightly see through with too long sleeves but for £19 I can make do. It is also available in black or grey.

Woohoo! Another Lollidot dress from Scarlett & Jo! Yes I am biased since they are named after me but they are also just awesome dresses. I have never been into cowl necklines but thought I would give it a try and I actually love it. This is the first black stretchy fabric lollidot dress and it is perfect for work or play. I am hoping a few more styles in black are released next year. I have been told there is one more lollidot to come this year and is a perfect party dress.

I am wearing the 26 as I was unsure if the bust would be big enough even with the cowl detail I didn't want it to be too stretched so this was the perfect size for me. The fit, length and sleeve length are all perfect and I really have nothing but two thumbs up for this dress.

I wore this to a family celebration at the weekend and just added a couple of blingy brooches to make it extra glam. Brogues are my go to shoes as they are formal and comfortable at the same time and go with almost everything.

I am a sucker for anything Halloween or Skeleton related and this dress caught my eye when looking through my fave alt-goth US shop Hot Topic online. I am lucky enough to have friends that live in the US that will send me things I order so I can save on some postage costs but you can still get stung with import tax and fees.

This dress is a 5x and it is slightly too short on my bust but as it is loose I can live with it. The length is good and sits just on my knee (5'3'') The material is stretchy and the lace detail is lovely. I really like the detail at the back of the neck. I have already worn this dress three times this week and it is a firm fave. I hope it washes well and will last me many years.

I got the bag from Killstar and it is so damn cute! It does come with a long strap also but I like the little handles. It is actually quite a roomy bag and can fit all my crap in it which is great. I love a bag with lots of room.

What better glasses for this outfit than my Lindsay Lowe Spirit Board GLOW IN THE DARK frames?! These are now available in the UK so you can save on those import/duty fees!!
