I wore this to go to a kids party last week. I have worn this combo before but did not get photos so here it is! It was an overcast day which was warm in the sun but cold in the shade and I knew I would be outside most of the day so opted for a cardi.

This cardi is by Voodoo Vixen and I got it from Simply Be with a discount code a while ago. It is a size 4xl. I find their cardis to gave extra long sleeves. It has a seahorse design on it.  I like this style of cardi as most I do not fasten as the buttons just gape unless it is an oversized style. This tie is nice because it is secure ans doesn't flap about in a breeze. Sadly the 4x dresses are far too small for my size 26/28 body. I hope they extend their sizes in the future as their prints are all so bloody cute!

This dress is a lollidot Scarlett & Jo dress with sweetheart neckline (my fave) in navy with small dots. I have worn this dress quite a few times now and only now getting around to blog about it. All the S&J jersey dresses are my everyday go to dresses. I wear them all the time because they look smart but are comfortable and easy to wear. They also was really well and don't need ironed! If you don't know my love for S&J dresses by now you have not been paying attention!

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!

I recently did a review of a very similar peplum polka dot dress also from Bonmarche HERE and it a photo was used on their Facebook page along with 3 other blogger to show how the same dress looks on different sizes/shapes of bodies. As usual there were a few negative comments but some of these were really horrible. I was shocked at how horrid some people can be especially since it is was from a place where most of the followers are over 40 and really should know better. It seems like the younger generation actually have a better understanding of acceptance than the older generations. I am actually quite glad about this as it shows progress and learning from the previous generations misunderstandings and or ideas.

This is of course no fault of Bonmarche who are trying to expand their appeal and involving younger bloggers in their online presence which I for one think is brilliant! What fat person does not want another place to be able to buy quality clothes that fit?!

One of the comments mentioned about looking in the mirror side on before posting pictures of lumps and bumps. This person obviously has no idea what bloggers do or are about. I more than most am aware of what my body looks like 360 degrees form various photo shoots I have done on my journey of self love/acceptance and body positivity.

 I bought this dress because I loved the quality and fit of the one I had reviewed and cannot pass up a polka dot dress! This one has a wrap around effect top which is lined so no bra showing through and lovely side detail which my blurry pic has not picked up. Sorry about that! Longer sleeves on this one and a great length for my 5'4'' frame. I just love this dress! it is stretchy and comfortable and thick enough for these not so warm days. If you have not seen the Bonmarche range then head over now for a look HERE.

I am fat and proud and love my lumps and bumps which include my boobs, belly and bum and everything else. I feel glam as hell in this and think I look pretty damn good! Love yourself and what anyone else has to say about you and your body has very little to no difference in how you feel. Much love to all the body positive people who read this blog and support out Rad Fat Community.

I have not been 100% the last couple weeks and blogging has been slow so when Kieron from Barratts and The Totality Blog asked for people to review some shoes I jumped at the chance. I was given a £35 limit and found these cute Red Sole Leopard Shoes for £28! There is also 20% off everything on the site just now so you can get these for £18.75!!!!


I am so craving sun and summer and decided to dress for the sun to lift my mood. Hence the colour and hawaii print skirt. I got this Denim jacket yesterday at New Look Inspire and was surprised how well it fit! Sleeves length is perfect on me.


Now for the SHOOOEEES! They arrived super fast and was surprised how light they are. Like walking in air. The soles is a bright red and I just love that detail. They are wide enough for my fat feet and are slightly longer because of the almond shape. The upper is like a waterproof coat feel. It  has a slight sheen and seems like it could be wiped clean pretty easy. They are a great buy and totally worth the price with discount. The are also very comfortable and I have not had any problem with blisters. YAY!!


Closer detail of jacket and Charcoal Designs Mermaid Necklace which compliments my summer theme perfectly.



The above picture is to show I am still fat sitting or standing. Don't be afraid of your fat. It is part of you and you are fabulous even if you don't know it yet!

Love Lolly x

Thank you Keiron & Barratts for the great shoes and chance to review. All opinions are my own.
