Lets be honest! I am not someone who really does casual.  I am Scottish though and I wear Tartan so his is my take on casual!

I was in town last week and went into Evans to see if they had a waterfall shirt/jacket in the same print (blogging soon) which was sold out online. Thankfully they did and I snapped it up along with this shirt which is limited sizes online but check in stores!

Can I just say how impressed I am with the cut of this shirt! You may think that sounds silly but I have tried many many shirts from various Brands and due to my large bust I have to size up in all and may still get the dreaded button gap. The sleeves would be too long and get this...the collar could fit 2 heads in! Yes the collars on plus size shirts can be stupidly large.

I am happy to say this shirt is spot on on all these things. Thanks to this I will be checking out Evans for more shirts from now on! It is a lightweight shirt that washed well. It did bobble where my bag rubbed against it though. I am wearing a size 30 so did size up.

The shoes are from Simply Be and are EEE fit. I have super wide feet and finding cute shoes can be a struggle but these are comfy and come in Black and Burgundy which I may also need to order.

Here it is! The first of my Collaboration pieces with Interrobang Art! 

February is the month of LOVE be that with a partner or loving yourself. Valentines Day is a time to take a moment to tell someone what they mean to you or give yourself the love you deserve.

My Hubby has always been the romantic sort who wrote me poems when we first started our long distance relationship. He shows me everyday with little kind gestures how much he loves and appreciates me. This year he went BIG! That is not to say it was expensive! He put in a lot of effort to make it a special day for myself and Franklin.

I woke up and brought Franklin downstairs on Valentines Morning to a living room filled with 150 heart shaped balloons! Franklin and I both said a very loud WOW! It was very unexpected since my birthday was only a couple of days before and I was spoiled rotten with gifts and love. He is a special man with the biggest heart and I love him very much. I can't wait to Marry him next Summer!

Ok so this was my outfit for the day. I bought this dress for my holiday in Spain late last Summer and wore it once but I did not have the accessories to do it justice so have kept it for something more glam and it was the time to let it shine Lady V London do this dress the Isabella in many prints each year and I have a few as you may have noticed. I am a sucker for anything dotty.

Just by luck my Zenni Heart shaped glasses arrived in time for Valentines Day and they are so fun and I will wear them all year. The shoes are from Evans and honestly I am shocked at how hard the backs are. They are like razor blades on my feet and don't know why any shoes are made so uncomfortable but so bloody cute!

The amazing PinUp Girl Clothing had a 25% off sale for 4th July so I took the plunge and ordered a couple of things. I had wanted a couple of dresses including the one to match this bag but it was out of stock in all sizes! I have put my name down on the waiting list for when it is restocked.

I have been after a pair of proper Saddle shoes for about 6 years and these are not leather and probably wont last long but for the price I was more than happy to just get them to complete my shoe dreams. The skirt is something I picked up at the last Leeds Plus Size Clothes Swap I helped run. I think it is handmade as there are no tags and the stitching is not perfect in places. It is a lovely shade of purple on goes great with my new Audrey II bag!

This outfit is a bit of a mish mash of prints and colours but that's why I love it! it is a bit Americana and bit Horror Rockabilly. What do you think? Have you ordered anything from PUG (Pinup Girl Clothing) before? Are you lusting after anything from PUG?

I have really struggled to find a coat this Winter. The boyfriend shape seems to be featuring heavily and I love it but it just does not fit my shape. I need a shorter jacket or a fit and flare style. When I saw this beautiful Tapestry Joe Browns Jacket in Simply Be it was love at first sight. I like the use of the flower pattern tapestry to make the harder look of the Biker jacket style more feminine.

I expected the fabric to be quite stiff but it is rather lightweight and soft and fully lined so still cozy enough for the chilly days. I also have to mention the cut is spot on! The sleeve length and shoulder fit perfectly! I find this is the case with most Joe Browns outerwear. I should have sized up for a better body fit since I have expanded recently due to baby stress. Hopefully 2015 will see me stress free and shrink back to my former size and this won't be a problem.

These pictures really do not do this coat justice! Being Winter the light is terrible and weather is so bad outside this is as good as I could get after three tries!

Happy Halloween! Ok maybe not exactly Halloween but close enough! So I ordered a couple of things from the FDAvenue Curvy Collection recently after finding them on Instagram and this cardi was a must. Firstly the sizing of this is a 26 but is more like a 20/22. I can live with that as it is an open cardi with no buttons but quality...let me just say I have worn it once and the bobbles are out of control! It was cheap but still I want a bit better quality for me cash.

I made an order with the lovely Laura from Charcoal Designs last week via her etsy store and I can not praise this lady enough!!! Her designs are amazing and quality is fabulous and brilliant customer service and care! You will see my ordered items soon but for this outfit I chose the Black Devil earrings, Lady with Skull Brooch and Cherry Necklace.

Can I just say that my order arrived in 6 days!!! That is faster than stuff I order from the UK!

If you didn't already know I am specs obsessed then you have not been paying attention! I love glasses, glasses print on anything and everything! When I saw this on the Evans website I was surprised and happy to be able to buy another glasses print top. I am not a fan of hanky hems. I don't actually know any fat people who are but they seem to saturate the plus size market.

Being a RAD FAT that has no problem showing off my VBO (visible belly outline) the shortness of this at the front is not an issue but for most fats it would be. Which is why I don't understand the hanky hem as being a popular seller. I would much prefer a longer front and back. As I said it is not an issue for me which is why I bought it and wear it.

It is a Navy thin tshirt material and the glasses are printed onto the tshirt which means with stretch they do crack and I am not sure how it will wash but for £19.50 I can live with it. When I was on the website I had a good look and have put together a Top Picks post which is also up now so take a look.

Strange name for a post you might think but this dress is actually from the maternity section of Primark! the swing dress shape fits most sizes and shapes and I have no problem wearing maternity items. Whatever I like I will try to make it work.

I missed out on the Evans Daisy dress so when I spotted this I had to give it a try and was over the moon when it fit. I was going out for a meal so wanted to be extra comfy but would add a belt to give it shape in future.

I have not bought any clothes other than leggings from Primark for a long time as I really struggle to find things to fit. I am happy to say the cardi is also Primark and the shoes!

Also check out my Zenni Optical glasses at the end.
