I am excited to share some of the New Scarlett & Jo Collection with you over the coming weeks. These should be available on the website in a week or two! They are all vintage flower prints and styles. This one is a of the same style as the lollidot wrap dresses but it has a thinner material which is great for Summer!

This is a sample size 24 and it is generously sized. I would usually wear a 26 in this style. This is a great dress for work or play and can be dressed up or down easily. It has a tie back and the crossover is cut perfectly so as not to gape and show bra. The 3/4 sleeve is a lovely touch and has a tie back. The length falls below my knee and I am 5'3'' for reference.

The navy with the beautiful wild flower print works so well. I love vintage and retro prints and having the look of vintage with the comfort and cut to fit my shape and size is wonderful. These dresses really are a must have. I look forward to sharing the next dress soon!

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!

As the title say it was my Birthday! I am the ripe old age of 34! Age is just a number and I have no problem being any age. People say act your age and dress for your age but I think both these things are rubbish! Don't act, just Be! I dress however I feel! I think these are both good things and have served me well so far.

Anyways onto the outfit! I wore this beautiful Simply Be Luxe Prom dress from the new collection to my Birthday meal with friends and just all round awesome people! We went to Damons a Rib place in Sheffield near Crystal Peaks. If you ever have the chance to go then order the Onion Loaf ( it is not bread! Just so you are not disappointed).

This dress is just gorgeous! It is the same style as the Poppy Print one they had a while back. You can see my posts about that dress HERE. It is a thick shirt like material with stretch which makes it super comfy and less prone to creases.  I loved the colour combo and modern but also vintage feel to the print with the flowers. Plus polka Dots! Whats not to love really!






The bag is Doctors Bag style which I love and has a removable long strap. The black and cream means it will go with most things and has lots of room for all the stuff us ladies tend to carry around and never use.


How cute are these shoes! The are a platform sole so look higher than they are and are available in E and EEE wide fit. I always have to size down from a 6 to a 5 when I wear wide fit shoes. These are very forgiving as they have the adjustable ankle straps. Can I just say I have never been able to wear ankle straps as they have never been big enough to fit around. These have plenty room and can't wait to rock them this summer as sadly the weather stopped me wearing them out for dinner. They also come in Tan!

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!

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the Bespoke Poppy dress on the Simply Be website! I have been looking for a big flower print dress like this for a couple of years and had seen a Yellow Rose one on in America but it was over £100. This beauty is £60 and although that is a lot for me to spend on a dress I knew I would regret not getting it. I watched it on the website for a couple of weeks and when it went limited stock in size 26 I had to bite the bullet and grab it before it went out of stock. Also I had seen Betty Pamper post on her blog about it and it looked even better on her than the models! See her post HERE and I am sure you will agree she looks amazing! Even the Mr approved! he said it made my boobs look massive! Which is not that hard since they are massive. This will be a summer and winter fave for me. I have lots of ideas on how to style it a few different ways so look out for more of this beauty. I needed the size 26 for my bust even though it has a slight stretch to the fabric.
