This little Piggy right here was my first experience with a powerful sexy fat female! She kicks ass and takes numbers like no other. She also has a very tender side for her Kermit. This is just a shout out to the most fatshionable Piggy I know. Seeing her on tv and in movies when I was young was always a joy and she taught me that women can be strong and don't have to be the little flower in the corner. I respected her strong will and attitude and wished one day to be like her. I am recently realizing that she may have rubbed off on me more than I thought! Piggy Power!

I am in the mood for summer and sunshine! I got this sun dress last year at Tesco for about £5 in a sale. It has little bows on it. (see how I previously styled it here) I have teamed it with old patent Clarks wedges and Matalan Belt £4.

Now for the New stuff! I was at Asda with the Mr and had seen this Cherry bag a month ago and stupid me did not buy it! It is £12 and a bargain at twice the price! When I saw they still had it I made a little squeeeee noise and Mr picked it up and put it in the shopping trolly. He is good to me!

I also got this lovely Cardi/Bolero for £7. I would normally go for red or blue but when I saw yellow I thought it would go with a lot of things in my wardrobe. I tend to stay away from white as I spill stuff down me all the time so yellow is nice alternative. As we were going through the checkout I spotted the hair clips 2 for £2.50.

(Polka dot double bed sheet and two pillowcases from Asda for £10 total. Also available in baby pink)

About a year ago I came across Yossi Loloi on facebook through a friend. I was directed to his website and his Full Beauty Project. It is a radical photographic project to show fat woman of all sizes and shapes in a way that makes the viewer question their thoughts on beauty and size. I found myself looking at his pictures of these beautiful fat women and thinking this is art! I would hang this on my wall. They look like oil paintings and made me think of the beautiful old paintings I had seen in books and galleries of voluptuous females before there was this skinny mentality. Finally something that represents the fat community and I can totally relate to and felt proud of these women for showing their bodies and forcing society to see what is normally kept hidden.



I instantly sent him a message saying how much I loved his work and how happy I was to see what he was trying to do with his photos.
He replied and told me he would be in the United Kingdom soon and would like to soot me. I was surprised and a little scared but I looked at the pictures again and thought to myself that these women did it and seeing them had a positive effect on me and there was no reason why I couldn't or shouldn't do it too and hopefully have the same effect on someone else. Yossi is from Italy and was visiting London so he made the trip up to Sheffield to meet me and shoot. I recently did another shoot with him in Milan and Blogged about it HERE




Please take a look at his website and add him on facebook and twitter. If you are interested in shooting with him please do not hesitate to contact him or me and I can put you in contact with him. I am so proud of Yossi for his work and that I got the chance to work with him. He is a lovely gentleman that I am forever grateful to for making me into art and helping me on my journey of self acceptance and love. This picture was my first professional photo shoot. I love it! Every lump, bump and stretch mark for all to see. This is me at my most vulnerable but also at my strongest.

It has been a little while since I did a FATshion post so here goes! Being of little to no means at the moment I had to stop myself buying this tshirt from New Look Inspire when I saw it online a month or so ago for £12.99. I used to be a tshirt and jeans girl and wore it like a uniform. I have grown into a dress and skirt girl so told myself I didn't need it.

When New Look announced a sale last week I had a look online and saw it was reduced to £5!!! I caved and got it in a size 26 which is bigger than I would normally go for from New Look but figured it would be kinda fitted and I wanted to wear it loose. It arrived today and I tried it on instantly. I love the sleeves and larger round neck. Even the length is good. I am pleased I got it and even more so that I waited and got it cheap! Bargain!

I thought I would share with you my love of some NEWish bloggers. You should check them out and follow! :)


FIRST - Robust Rabble-Rouser

The beautiful, talented Sara! Actress from Florida and all round glam goddess!!!!

For as long as I can remember I've been having a passionate love affair with clothing. Oh yes, we're living in delicious sin. I feel the time has come to document said love affair. I'm ready to commit. This is a body positive blog. All bodies are beautiful bodies! I'm a plus size woman. I don't let size dictate who I am. It's taken me a long time to love my body, and the empowerment I have gained from doing so is unlike anything else! I wear what I love. My style is eclectic. I love vintage. I'm very much inspired by the Pinup/Rockabilly genre. I quite fancy things that sparkle. Also, anything bohemian lights my fire. In other news, I'm a Singer/Actor, and when I'm not onstage you can find me collecting vintage movie magazines, thrifting, reading, gardening, watching classic films, sippin' on a Coke whilst reading blogs, and plenty more.. It should be noted that I have the wanderlust.
