Super Size, Super Comfy

by 1 Comment

Sorry for the lack of blog posts, I have been up north for a couple of weeks and only just back in London. Today I had a lunch date with one of my bestests, but also had one of those days where you just want to be comfy! We were only going to the local Toby Carvery so I knew I didn’t have to get super dressed up.


In the end, I opted for this new Yours Clothing gold leopard printed tunic top, which they kindly sent me just before Christmas. When they emailed me I was excited to learn that they are now offering a range of their items up to a size 36. Even though this is bigger than I personally need I am always excited to hear of new fatshion options and it’s really great to see retailers listening to  the needs of their customers. They also sent me an amazing onesie, which I will review soon!



As you can see I went for very comfy – not a belt or accessory in sight! However, what I wore was perfect with me. I teamed it up with my Just 5 Pounds cardigan, One One Three leggings and some Primark boots – Comfy all the way!!



Yours Clothing have a number of items available up to a size 36, so if you have previously been put off by sizing then make sure you head over now. This item is now only £15 in the sale – bargain!

Have you bought anything from Yours Clothing lately?

If you haven’t used Yours Clothing before then you can use the code ‘blogger6’ to get £10 off of a £20 spend. New customers only but what better excuse do you need to give them a try?

Follow Up – The Fat Mermaid

by 2 Comments

A couple of weeks ago I blogged about the beautiful green sequin dress that AX Paris have on offer this year – but I didn’t post any full length pics because I didn’t want to spoil it for my Christmas party! http://imawannabeprincess.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/a-sequin-surprise-fat-mermaid.html if you want to have a nosey at the post!

This weekend I spent the weekend with vodka, white wine and some of my beautiful friends – while wearing this amazing dress & wanted to share it with you.

I know some ladies prefer to shy away from bodycon dresses, but I really can not recommend this dress enough. Although it is is bodycon and quite tight, it is made from a nice thick material so I don’t feel it clings everywhere, which is what many people don’t like about body con dresses. The sequins are beautiful and I have yet to see this dress look bad on anyone – and if you follow any bloggers you’ll see that it’s a popular one!

Wouldn’t be the same without some dodgy mirror selfie shots

If you’re looking for a sparkly dress to wear this festive season I really can’t recommend this dress enough! It’s lovely!

A Sequin Surprise – The Fat Mermaid – You probably know by now, when it comes to clothes – I love colour, I love shape and I love sparkles. When I first saw this dress on the Fashion World website, I loved it. It is everything perfect about a dress for the Christmas season – I was well and truly smitten!

Dear Angela Epstein – An Open Letter

by 2 Comments

Dear Angela Epstein – I read your recent article on Best Daily and I feel I had to write to you (for anyone who hasn’t read the ‘Having Fat Friends is Such Hard Work’article, you can do so here). – Firstly, I find it disappointing that you find any of your friends hard work. Friendship should be something that makes your life nicer – not harder. However, when I look at the reasons why you find your friendships such hard work  – I am left flabbergasted.

Taking Body Positive Influences From All Over

by 2 Comments

Evening 🙂


If you have read my blog before then you will have seen that I love finding positive body image sources from all over. I have linked to different people before and I think it’s important to surround yourself with positive stuff, where possible. I am not saying it’s a miracle cure, but I am very happy and content in the skin I am in – and for years I have sought out, collected, watched and shared positive images, videos and sayings… I guess the two are related!


Anyway, when I find pieces that I like, I want to share them because I think its important for people to have places they can stumble across little rays of sunshine when they didn’t expect it – so here you go!





Carrie Hope Fletcher


The little sister of Tom McFly has had a YouTube channel for a while now. I don’t pretend to know lots of facts about her but I do love her singing voice! Anyway, last week she released this video of her talking about body image, her own body and how she feels about confidence etc. I really enjoyed watching it and I hope you will too! 🙂




Hollie McNish

I have blogged about Hollie before and my love of her poems. This week I was reminded of her words when I found out that some of her poetry was being used for Dove adverts. 

My favourite of hers is a poem called “WOW”


One of her Dove advert ones can be seen/heard here:





I love all of these pieces – and a couple more by Hollie McNish. As ever I love Mary Lambert, Natasha Devon and so many other people!


Surrounding myself with positive influences like this really helps me to be happy with who I am… 


What do you do to help yourself with body confidence? Do you find people influential to the way you feel about your body?


I’d love to know your thoughts!
