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.

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!

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!
