I love a bargain and I had seen a few fat babes I follow on instagram wearing this cute lemon print dress but figured it was a non stretch material so kind of put it out of my mind until I spotted it on sale at Simply Be for £15.

Thinking it was non stretch I ordered the 28 as the 26 was out of stock at the time and had a lovely surprise when it arrived in all its stretchy glory! The 28 is loose but not too big and the 26 would have fit a little more snug. The only thing I did do was cut off the ties at the end of the ruched sleeves as they had not purpose and the slapping around annoyed me.

I don.t know how this will wash or if the colour will last but the high neck is perfect as the Sun has been burning my chest recently and this solves that problem for bright days. The length is just on my knee and I am 5'3''.

Can I just say that this Yoshi bag goes with EVERYTHING!!! If you have not checked out their website please do and drool over all the real leather fun designs that have been released for Summer! Seriously so cute!

These glasses were an ebay bargain I just had reglazed with my prescription for Specs-by-post.com my go to for all reglazing! The shoes I blogged about previously and are another bargain from Primark that cost the grand total of £3 and fit my extra wide feet.

You may have noticed this stunner of a bag in my last outfit post. This is a beautiful leather bag by Yoshi who make interesting and fun leather accessories that don't skimp on quality. All the seams are stitched which is one of my main issues with most modern bags having plastic coated edges.

Choosing just one item from the Yoshi website is difficult! There are so many amazing designs to choose from. This Marconi Grab Bag is designed to look like a retro Radio and has a lovely long handle that easily fits over the biggest of arms/shoulders. It is also available in a pale pink version.

There are raised buttons on top and textured leather used for the speaker section. There is a magnet closure and striped light lining with indie pockets for phone and keys etc. I like my bags to have one large compartment and this is perfect for me.

All Yoshi items come with dust bags to keep them in perfect condition while not in use but honestly mine has not been back in it ad I have used it loads since it arrived.

I also bought the cute glasses print purse which is sooooo me! I have my eye on some more from their collections and you should totally check out the website for treat yourself beauties and gifts.

Since I had two tickets for the Awards I offered the ticket to my instagram/twitter followers and asked who wanted to be my date. I picked a winner at random and it ended up being the beautiful and ever so lovely Michaela. It was her first plus size event! First of many hopefully! You can follow her on instagram @astutefiery



I have a few items from the first Beth Ditto Collection and they are beautiful and I wear them regularly because they are so comfortable and stylish. This second collection is just as amazing if not better! The make up/beauty them runs through both collections and this is the Ball & Chain dress and there is a circle waist detail with stitched circles and a thin tie to give shape. The sleeves are almost like a batwing style which fits my fat arms the ease and also allows room for my large bust. I did worry the waist may be too high as my bust tends to pull things up but this was lovely.

With all of the Beth styles shape is a major design factor. each item has a number of interesting details and or shape to it. Pockets are another Beth staple and I don't mean little no point them being there pockets. Big Pockets! All clothes should have pockets!

This dress is a lightweight stretchy poly blend fabric that feels lovely to wear and means no iron required! The skirt has a lot of swish to it and an interesting pleat at the front. The length is almost a midi on my as I am a shortie 5'3'' so would be a good length on taller people also. The sleeves are a perfect length on me also.

The print of this dress is a 3 colour droplet of blood red nail polish which appeals to my inner goth and also my love all things red. I added some red accessories to make it pop.

This dress is so easy to wear and I already have ideas of how I will wear it again so look out for more from this dress on the blog. You can take advantage of the current up to 80% off at Bethditto.com NOW!

OK I am not naked or a Superhero! I tend to not buy skin tone clothes as it can look like you are naked but I saw this dress on the Asos Curve website and thought I would give it a try. I loved the style and the cape was a super cute touch. The colour is more of a blush tone than the photos are showing. The dress is a stretchy material and has a lace effect overlay on the chest. As with most clothes they are not made for my huge bust so the under bust seams are on my bust which is a shame.

There was a black version also available on the website but both styles seem to be selling out fast. It is a great dress and which would be perfect for anyone who likes to cover up over Summer. The high neck and covered shoulders will stop you getting burnt by the Sun but you have the breezy under arm area to keep you cool.

This is a size 28 and would say it is true to size. I think I will be selling this dress and the colour not great with my very pale Scottish Ghost skin. The bag I have had my eye on for a while in Accessorize. I grabbed it when they had a 30% off sale recently. It is no longer available on the website but you may still be able to get one in store.

Franklin wanted to join me in the garden for this shoot so you can see him pottering about in his super stylish crocs and dino jumper! lol
