Window Shopping with Boohoo

by Leave a Comment

One of my
favourite January hobbies is window shopping online. After December you would
think that I would be all shopped out, but I have to say that the January sales
get me a bit excited. I am a proper bargain hunter (I blame my dad!) and love
it when I can save some money – so when sales are coming at me left, right and
centre I have to take advantage.
The other
day I was browsing the Boohoo Plus Size range and I have to say I was a little surprised,
but very happy to see that they have extended their sizing. A couple of years
ago when Boohoo Plus launched they went up to a size 24 – the brand were lovely
enough to send me a few items that I managed to work in order to fit me.
However as I am sure anyone who wears clothes they ‘force’ to fit, they often
don’t feel as comfortable to wear as they would if you were wearing your actual
size.
When I saw
that Boohoo had a handful of items it a size 26 and a size 28 I was really
happy. Even if those sizes still don’t technically cover what I need, it’s
really nice to see a brand that actually listen to feedback. I understand that
launching a plus size range isn’t always easy so you have to dip your toe in
the water a little in order to understand what your customer base wants and
what they’ll buy. I can only hope that Boohoo see their larger sizes start to
sell and extend in further. Of course, it could also mean that other brands pay
attention to this extension in sizes and start to follow suit – 2017 is off to
a good start already!

Being by
money-saving self, I am always on the lookout for voucher codes and ways to
save money. I have to say as clothing brands good Boohoo are really good eggs
with this, because they often have different ones to choose from. One of my
favourite websites at the moment is My Favourite Voucher Codes as they seem to
have loads to choose from. What I like about the site is that different brands
have different pages, so finding the exact voucher code you want is easy – just
like on this tailor made page for Boohoo here – myfavouritevouchercodes.co.uk/boohoo.com


One of the things I like about Boohoo is that they have loads of
different styles outside of what normal plus size brands. We all know that
brands offer lots of skater dresses, cold shoulder tops and vintage skirts.
These are all lovely and some of my favourite items – however I also appreciate
the need for alternative looks so that there are styles for everyone. I love that
brands like Boohoo offer yet another choice for everyone.

Have you browsed Boohoo lately? What are your favourite items?

Special Occasion Jewellery

by Leave a Comment

There’s something nice about a nice bit of bling isn’t there? I don’t know about you, but jewellery with a bit of sparkle always catches my eye – even if it’s something that ends up being about my budget. 
What I love about jewellery is that there is always something for everyone. So whether you want perspex necklaces, big blingy bracelets or beautiful antique rings there is something that is going to match exactly what you need. With the internet, it’s really easy to find unique and antique pieces. In the past you might have had to trawl the high street or travel to different places to try and find what you need – which is expensive and time consuming.
Now you have places like Berganza Jewellery that make it easy for you to find exactly what you are looking for. Their website is fantastic for high-quality, top of the range pieces which are meant for a special occasion. They specialise in engagement rings and I have to admit that I do enjoy a window shop on their website – lusting about what I would be proposed with, when Prince Charming finally arrives.
I think when the time comes I would love a ring that is different and really stands out. I only plan to get engaged once (or ever at this rate) so I would want something that is different to what I would usually wear. Of course you have to keep in mind that you want it to match whatever you wear – so something plain with a bit of bling to it would be my personal preference.
What is your favourite type of jewellery?

Men’s Fashion: Something a Little Different

by Leave a Comment

It might come as a surprise, but I don’t often look at men’s fashion. However, when I do I always get carried away with looking at what is available and what I like to wear. I tell you now, if I ever get a boyfriend he’s going to have to put up with me buying items and demanding that he wear whatever I like to see him in! [Read more…]

Lady Voluptuous Boxing Day Sale

by Leave a Comment

I know, I know – I always talk about my love of Lady V London and their Lady Voluptous range designed by Georgina Horne. I am really lucky in that a few weeks ago they sent me some of their dresses to try for size and see how much I liked them. I’ve had the photos on my phone for a while and haven’t yet got around to blogging about them properly – I will!

Topsy Curvy Christmas

by Leave a Comment

Topsy Curvy Christmas – Can you believe how close it is to Christmas? I feel like it’s going to be here before we know it – I suppose I better start getting a bit organised! Every year I get at least one Topsy Curvy Christmas swing dress – mainly because they do them so well. I know there are a few brands that are doing these types of dresses now, but I love that Topsy Curvy offer them in a high size range too.

Pretty Vintage Dress? Owl Take That!

by Leave a Comment

Lady Voluptuous you have done it again! Last week they sent me some of their Winter Collection to try and I love it – I’ll be posting pics of the other dresses soon but this is my favourite so I had to share it with you.


I love the dressy style of Lady V Voluptuous dresses but sometimes you want something a bit more casual – which for me means dress and leggings. When I saw the Olivia dress go on the website, I knew she would be perfect for this. She comes up quite long in length that I would wear her without leggings too, so win-win.



I love the dark colours of this dress and of course the owl print is fantastic. I am always on the look out for dresses with unusual prints and this was definitely ticks that box. I can picture this with leggings and winter boots for those days when it’s extra chilly!

I have talked very many times about my love for this brand and what Georgina Fuller Figure Fuller Fuller Bust helped create. However what I love most about this brand is that they actually listen. They’re offering so many styles up to a size 32 and they really pay attention when people talk about what they want – dresses with unusual styles for example.


The fit of the Olivia is great – it’s a very thick, stretchy material which makes it not only comfortable to wear but a great fit. 


What is your favourite Lady Volup dress?
