I always love when a new brand starts and I was super excited to see Joanie had some lovely pieces. They market themselves as up to a size 22 but I found a few 26 on their website. I had to try this Cat Jumper in a XXL and it is very stretchy and probably could have sized down if I wanted a tighter fit.

Jumpers are perfect for Winter to throw on over a dress to keep warm. I have lots of cardis but they are all pretty small and don't fasten so this is perfect to keep the breasts draft free! They have quite a few cute jumpers on the site and did buy another and have my eye on one or 2 more!

Also I did try the Gigi Scallop Stripe dress in a 26 and it was large on me and had pockets so if you are looking for a pretty dress with pockets then check it out HERE

I woke up in a terrible mood for no reason. Well there are many reasons that include frustration with doctors over my sons care but I decided to put on a new dress and bit of make up and turn my frown upside down. This dress is one of many I ordered from Simply Be recently but only kept a few.

I had seen this dress on the Simply Be instagram when it was first released but figured because of the tulip shape it would not work on me. Since it was a sale and free postage I took my chances and was happy that it fit and looked awesome!

It is the thick stretch cotton fabric that I love and as such makes a great Autumn/Winter dress! Being sleeveless I added my mint eyelash knit cardi that I picked up in the Primark sale last winter and pink leggings. I realise the pink leggings are a bright bold statement but thats the mood I was in and I will no doubt add some green/blue leggings that match the colours in the print for future wears.

The bust is a lovely sweetheart shape that I have never worn before.  The tulip shape is loose on my hips and does make me look bigger than I am but I am fat and happy with that so No F**ks Were Given! This outfit had the desired effect of changing my miserable mood. Never underestimate The Power of Fatshion!

I am sad to say that Autumn has come early to the UK but it also means exciting new collections from our favourite fashion brands! The warm rich colours and chunky knits we all love to encase ourselves in when the its cold outside.

Given the chance to have a sneaky peek at the Asos Curve Autumn/Winter 2014 collection I thought I would share my favourite pieces and do my first Autumn outfit post of the season.

I love the vintage look to this midi dress which has a William Morris feel to it with the print. The colours go with my newly dyed hair and I feel rather grown up in this outfit. It is silly to say that since I am 34 and have a baby but I tend to dress like a child most of the time. I go for fun novelty prints and colours.

The back cutout detail is fun and the colours made this dress a must for my maybe too young wardrobe. It is a thin material with no stretch so sized up. the length is longer on me as I am a shortie but I like it. The sleeves are also a little longer but is a nice change. I can see me wearing this with a thick furry cardigan and boots on the colder days this winter and also breaking it out in the Summer months too.

So I wore this dress HERE and wanted to Winter it up and this is what I came up with. I love my fluffy cardis in Autumn/Winter and with my Yours Clothing Cowboy Boots this is a Winning Winter outfit for me! I can't say enough good things about these Boots! They really are the BEST! I have worn them a few times out and about and have had NO blisters, rubbing or anything which never happens with new shoes! NOTE: Boots are now reduced to £37.50!!! Go grab yourself a pair before they are gone!
