I can't quite believe I am Mum to a 3 year old! Where has the last 3 years gone?! It has not been easy by a long shot but we have done our best and it seems to be working. Franklin is putting on weight so much in fact that he has been taken off his night feed pump! We will see what his weight does over the next month. This means he is getting all his calorie needs from food he eats. He still gets around 500ml of his 1000ml liquid intake via his peg feed tube in his tummy. He also starts nursery 3 mornings a week in September! My baby is growing up.

Being a parent is the hardest job I have ever had and I really do not know how single parents manage to do it and work. I am so lucky to have a partner that does his share and more! We make a good team.

We were in Edinburgh staying with my family for Franklins actual birthday so had a second party for him with his English family in the garden when we got back. Thankfully for the first time we got lovely weather! Everyone had a great time and Franklin was spoiled rotten!

I wore this Lady Voluptuous Cherry dress which I have blogged about before HERE but have styled it differently. It comes with a matching bolero but it was so warm out that I did not wear it. The amazing glasses are by LindsayLoweEyewear in the USA. They glow in the dark!!!!

This post is another Budget Bridal post in the run up to my wedding next Summer. I wanted to share with you what is available to the large and short lady with a range of styles for under £200!

February is the month of LOVE be that with a partner or loving yourself. Valentines Day is a time to take a moment to tell someone what they mean to you or give yourself the love you deserve.

My Hubby has always been the romantic sort who wrote me poems when we first started our long distance relationship. He shows me everyday with little kind gestures how much he loves and appreciates me. This year he went BIG! That is not to say it was expensive! He put in a lot of effort to make it a special day for myself and Franklin.

I woke up and brought Franklin downstairs on Valentines Morning to a living room filled with 150 heart shaped balloons! Franklin and I both said a very loud WOW! It was very unexpected since my birthday was only a couple of days before and I was spoiled rotten with gifts and love. He is a special man with the biggest heart and I love him very much. I can't wait to Marry him next Summer!

Ok so this was my outfit for the day. I bought this dress for my holiday in Spain late last Summer and wore it once but I did not have the accessories to do it justice so have kept it for something more glam and it was the time to let it shine Lady V London do this dress the Isabella in many prints each year and I have a few as you may have noticed. I am a sucker for anything dotty.

Just by luck my Zenni Heart shaped glasses arrived in time for Valentines Day and they are so fun and I will wear them all year. The shoes are from Evans and honestly I am shocked at how hard the backs are. They are like razor blades on my feet and don't know why any shoes are made so uncomfortable but so bloody cute!

February is a lovely month and not just because it is my Birthday there is also Valentines Day. I love getting flowers! It does not happen as often as I would like but you can't have everything I guess. This dress is like me buying myself flowers and what lovely flowers they are. I keep saying I am not really a pink lover but this dress with the green is just beautiful. I just can't get enough of mint at the moment and my vintage glasses were a must with this Lady V London Isabella dress. You are probably getting sic of me posting about these dresses but I am not sorry! I love them and there will be more!

I will probably wear this with my mint Domino Dollhouse petticoat for for extra twirl appeal. It is quite a simple outfit really. I added a brooch to the middle of the bow and matching earrings from SummerBlue Jewelry.

It has been a while since I have done a Budget Bridal post but this one is rather fun! This Lady V London dress has been made in this print in quite a few colours now but this is my favourite. When I first saw it I knew it would make a pretty and fun Wedding dress or any occasion dress. This is the Isabella style and the best shape for my body that I have tried from Lady V. It has lots of room for the bust and as it flares out has lots of room for hips and bum too. This print is not available now but keep an eye out for more colour combinations as you never know! There are always new prints to choose from.

Lulu Guinness has a lipstick bag that is around £300 and I am never going to spend that much on a novelty bag or any bag! I took to ebay my first stop for designer copies and found this beauty for under £17! I know total bargain for such an iconic bag that goes perfectly with this dress.

Another Pink Lady V London Isabella dress. This rose print is very pretty. I am not usually a pink person but I have 3 pink Isabella dresses now and I ain't mad! Yes I know this is more of a Summer dress but I am all for Wintering up outfits. I chucked on a pair of leggings and cardi and was ready to rock around the clock in this dress.

The bag is an old Irregular Choice one I got for a Birthday. My necklace is by Charcoal Designs and if you have not already checked out her etsy store then do it now and get 20% off with my code LOLLYLIKESFATSHION. Earrings are by Desperate Beatnik and are the most glam glitter lucite teardrop earrings you could ever hope for!

This green beauty is from Lady V London and part of the Lady Voluptuous Collection by Georgina of FullerFigureFullerBust. I bought it a while ago in the sale but the updated style with longer sleeves is available in various colours and prints so check them out.

I love green and this shade is perfect for me. I see it as a Holloween shade and have worn it with one of my Charcoal Designs Happy Halloween necklaces and PinUp Girl Clothing bag.

This is quite a simple look for me as I normally am covered in pattern but I like the pattern of the bag and anything else with it would be too much. I may add a brooch next time I wear this combo.

I am wearing a 26/28 and the material is quite thin and has lots of stretch. Great boob coverage with lots of material. I pinned it a little high but you can pin anywhere you are comfortable or not. Love the length on this too and the floaty sleeves are are nice touch. There is a tie at the back also.
