Yesterday's look.

Hello lovelies :)

I felt compelled to share with you the outfit I wore yesterday! I went out for a nice lunch with some friends then we went back to my friend's house and sat in her garden in the sunshine. It was lovely and warm and i sat and made a daisy chain whilst we all shared gossip. It was a beautiful day! I was also happy because my new dress that I wore is from asos....but not asos curve like I have had to buy in the past (which is a lovely range I will add and definitely more than caters for plus size girls). I have now lost enough weight to fit into their regular range! :D Since last June I have lost 3 stone just by using My Fitness Pal

Nails - Sinful Colours Cream Nail Enamel in Envy - £1.99

Bracelet - Asos (Out Of Stock)

Dress - Asos - £28.00

Cardigan - Primark

Necklace - Primark

Sandals - Matalan (years old)

Just a little side note to this post. This nail varnish is amazing! I painted my nails on tuesday evening and they are still chip free. You only need two coats for full coverage and it dries really quickly! And let's be honest, can you really go wrong for £1.99. I plan to buy many, many more of these. :)

My spring wishlist

I thought I'd cheer myself up during this horrible cold spell by making a wish list of things to see me through the spring and summer months when they finally arrive! I was instantly drawn to these two pairs of sandals. Especially the turquoise and leopard print ones. I think they're really different and i love anything leopard print so these are going to be perfect for seeing me through the summer. I love these dresses as well. Bold prints are essential for me and i need something to wear the sandals with now don't i ;)

I mentioned this jacket in a previous post so i had to feature it on my wish list! I know a jacket (well this is kind of more like a coat) is slightly un-necessary during the summer months but if i get in there and buy this quickly then i could get a couple of months wear out of it in the spring. I fell in love with this bag because of it's unusual hexagonal shape and, like most girls i love a good handbag :) the bigger the better! This is slightly too small for my usual taste but we have to break our own rules occasionally when something REALLY catches our eye. And this did :) I think it'd go perfectly with the 3/4 sleeve dress and a cute pair of pumps!

What I Wore Today

Poncho - Gift From My Mum

Shoes - New Look

Leggings and Top (under poncho) - Matalan

I've wanted a poncho for a while now. My mum has always worn them but i never thought they'd suit me. I was really happy when i unwrapped this on Christmas day and I've been looking forward to wearing it. I thought because i was a big girl that it might look like i had just thrown a sack over myself but it was actually surprisingly flattering! I just wore it with a black top and leggings today but I'm looking forward to trying out different looks and playing around with it. It makes a nice change from a cardigan or jacket and i felt really comfortable and confident whilst wearing it.

I picked these loafer style shoes up in the sale for £12. I really love all things leopard print and red is my favourite colour so these were a must have. I fell in love with them instantly. I'm always on the lookout for nice flats as i rarely wear heels and these ones are perfect for dressing up or down.

What I wore today and the museum

Hello everyone

Lately, i have been reminiscing about my childhood a lot. Back when i was between the ages of 6 and 9, my nanny used to take me to the Norwich castle museum. I have been thinking about these times a lot lately and talking about them, so my boyfriend decided to surprise me and take me back there today! They have modernised it A LOT since i was a kid but all the stuff in there is very much the same. Which took me right back to when i was a kid. Me and my cousin would always look in fascination at the ancient Egypt exhibition in there and we loved the stuffed animals and taxidermy (we've always been a little weird). Something that was new though was a "fashion through the ages" exhibition. As you can well imagine, i was in my element, looking at and reading about all the different fashions through the years. I took a couple of pictures.

That lovely yellow show you see there is from the 1970s and there were a variety of badges and some 1970s earrings. There was a vintage Vivienne Westwood purse in there too but i didn't manage to get that in the picture.

This dress is from 1856!

Here is what i wore for our day trip :)

Top - Made by me

Jeans - Dorothy Perkins

Boots - Matalan

Bag - Primark

I did post about this top previously but this is the first time I've worn it out. It was very comfy but i did notice that my cutting skills are not up to much. It's all a bit wonky which is disappointing but it all adds to the charm i guess, and it was my first attempt. The shoulders were sticking out as well, which I'm guessing is from where i cut out the shoulder pads from when it was previously a foisty old dress :P. If anyone knows how i can stop this from happening then please email me or leave me a comment. I'd really appreciate it!

I'm so glad that autumn is here! As much as i like being able to enjoy the sunshine, it has been far too hot for me this year so i was looking forward to being able to wrap up In long sleeves and boots. these boots are my favourite thing at the minute. They're Chelsea boots and they're black glittery! I love a bit of sparkle, so when i saw these i had to have them. They're so comfy as well, which is always a bonus.

I'm glad to finally be wearing jeans, i never used to find them comfy but since I've lost some weight (19lbs so far) i find them very easy to slip into and comfortable to move in so that's something I'm happy about! 

All in all, I've had a lovely day. I've felt more confident today than i think i ever have before and it's been fun re-living a big part of my childhood. And i owe it all to my amazing boyfriend.

I love you, Adam :)

Summer Fun :)

Necklace - Disney Couture

Dress - Matalan

Sandals - Matalan

These sandals have served me well every summer for the last three years, they look quite restricting because of all the straps but they're actually very comfy. I can't not wear bright colours and these just tick all the boxes! Every strap features something different so it gives you the best of a few trends! I'm not one for throwing away all my old stuff when the new season comes in. I'd much rather just wear the things I like and get as many wears out of things as possible. I like just fitting into my own style. This dress is new though, and I love it! It's really good for these boiling hot days as the material is very light and I absolutely love the print of this! It's flattering for us bigger girls as it distracts the eyes! It's great to wear just on it's own or with a cardigan. I usually wear it with a short red cardigan.

This necklace is one of my favourites, it's so unique! It's a heart from the film Snow White. You can't see it from the picture but it actually fastens via a sword that passes through the heart! It's details like that that makes me adore Disney Couture. They really pay attention to detail from each film, for each piece!

These are my nails today
