House of Fraser – I am always pleased to hear about plus-size options, so House of Fraser offering plus size clothing is fantastic news to me! Actually, House of Fraser and their plus-size collection is nothing new, but it seems that their offerings have really improved over recent months.
When Life Gives You Lemons
Just a very short post today, because I sadly can’t see this dress on the Simply Be website anymore.
I saw this dress on someone weeks ago and had to have it! Then I saw on sale online for £15 so snapped it up – and I am so glad that I did. I know lots of people shy away from colour for winter, but I will definitely be giving this an outing or two over the colder months!
What do you like to wear over the colder months?

It Hasta Be Asda
A few weeks ago I wrote about the exciting news that George at Asda had decided to extend their plus size range up to a size 32! You can read that here. The range itself isn’t revolutionary and it won’t cause headlines but it is pretty amazing! For me, any range that is affordable, accessible and up to a size 32 is great news – and I only hope that this range sets the bar & more high street places follow suit.
The lovely people at George at Asda were kind enough to send me a few pieces to try and I have to say I am really impressed. The dresses were both less than £15 and the leggings were less than a tenner – it doesn’t get much better than that, does it?
I love the quality of the items. I have actually worn both of the dresses loads of times in the weeks that I have had them and they have been washed – they’re still looking good and the colours are still great. The leggings are really nice too. They are a little long for me, but I am very short so that is often the case! They are perfect tucked into boots which is ideal for this time of year too!
The range itself seems to have a few new items being added here and there, so it is definitely one to keep an eye on!
Have you bought anything from George?

One Million Lovely Letters – Because We Should All Be Making A Difference.
Every so often I come across something that grabs my attention and I have to write about it. Admittedly it is usually something to rant about and someone that has made me mad, but tonight it’s about something so beautiful it made my eyes leak.
I know that sometimes the whole issue of body image can be tiring. With so many issues surrounding us and so much that tries to bring us down, it can be exhausting. However, I also know that for many, many people there are others battles which can make life tough too!
It is easy for me to write about how you should love yourself and what you can do to make loving your body easy but today I discovered a young lady that actually does something to help people. Not with body image issues as such, but just a boost for those who need it, how amazing is that?
I watched Surprise Surprise today and came across a lovely lady called Jodie Ann Bickley who actually makes an effort to make a difference to peoples lives with her One Million Lovely Letters project.
It’s inspirational to me that someone would take time out of their day to make someone else’s life a little better and the One Million Lovely Letters project is nothing less than beautiful! She writes letters back to anyone who has written to her feeling a little down or hopeless and so far has written thousands of letters to people all over the world – how outstanding is that?
I love that there are people out there who want to actively make a difference in peoples lives and there are no words to describe how inspirational I think Jodie is.
Have a read of the project website – it’s beautiful! http://onemillionlovelyletters.com/

Get A Better Mirror – The To This Day Project
I have probably mentioned this poem before and to be honest with you, I probably will again. I can not stress how important it is to me to watch, read and listen to body positive influences. It saddens me that we have to go out there and find them, but it is great that they’re there to be found, should we want to!
This one – The To The Day Project by Shane Koyczan gets to me everytime I rediscover it, so if you have a spare 5 minutes make sure you give it a watch. It’s beautiful.
And if you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself
Get a better mirror
Look a little closer
Stare a little longer
Because there’s something inside you
That made you keep trying
Despite everyone who told you to quit
If you have any body image, confidence, fat, size related items that you think I would love to see – please share the links!
Share this post with someone who needs a little boost today!

ASOS Lace Skirt – Two’s Company
ASOS Lace Skirt – Two’s Company – A few weeks ago this skirt popped up on ASOS at a price of just £13 – how was I supposed to resist this?
Massive Fan of Matalan
Earlier this year when Matalan announced that they were going to expand their plus size range, I was excited! Since then they have continued to add items to their range and I have to say I am constantly impressed.
One of the nicest things about the Matalan plus size range is the fact that it goes up to a size 30 and personally I am pleased whenever I see a range that goes above a size 26! When you look at the Matalan range you’ll see that there are some lovely going out items and a good mixture of basics, so there is something for everything.
Some of my favourite picks are:
What’s even better is that none of those items cost more than £25 and in fact the heart jumper is currently in the sale for £9 – bargain!
Seeing as winter is fast approaching I thought I’d better take a look at the coats and jackets they had and they actually have some amazing choices!
Have you bought anything from Matalan lately, what’s caught your eye?
