As you know, I love discovering new places I can shop – it;s so exciting! I have browsed the Just Curvy website before but as they ‘only’ go up to a size 26 I didn’t really consider shopping there! A few weeks ago the team at Just Curvy offered to send me a dress from their site, so I thought I would give it a try, after all we all know the importance of ignoring dress size labels!

I was amazed at the range of dresses they have, they have some really lovely items! If you’re under a size 26 I would recommend them! As someone above that size I had to be careful what I bought – you have to pay attention to material etc to see what you can work with. In the end I choose this lovely blue dress and it’s fab!

Turquoise Scoop Neck Floral Lace Pattern Swing Dress

It is a swing dress, although I do lose the swing effect as it is a little small and fitted on me. That said, I love the fit and I don’t mind losing out on the swing affect at all! It’s a really lovely vibrant colour and it fits fine.

They have this dress is a range of colours and even slightly different styles so if you’re after a lace, swing dress then make sure you check them out.

Have you tried Just Curvy before?

Just a very quick post today to tell you about some amazing anti chafing pants I have discovered. I am lucky that I don’t really get ‘chaffing’ on my thighs but I know it’s something many people do suffer with. A few weeks ago the lovely ladies at The Big Bloomers Company offered to send me a pair of their anti chafing knickers to try, so I thought I’d give them a go – I love them!

If I am wearing a dress without leggings in the summer I miss the support feeling leggings usually give me and I don’t want to wear stiff shapewear every day. I found these to be the perfect compromise. I know that isn’t what they’re designed or marketed for, but they were perfect for that for me. 

They’re really comfy to wear and didn’t make me feel too warm at all! They come in two lengths (I choose the short ones) and both beige and black. I wore the beige under this Pink Clove dress but I have worn the black before too and they are just as comfy!
What tips do you have to survive summer?

I know – the title of this blog post could not have been more cheesy, but it;s the best I could come up with! 


I am sure by now you have heard the whisperings about Boohoo and their brand new plus size range. They actually first launched a few months ago, but with most of the items mirroring that of Pink Clove, most people didn’t pay much attention (Sorry Boohoo!).

Anyway, over the last couple of weeks they have proved us wrong and Boohoo Plus have come back with a proper banging new range – which everyone is so excited about. If I have anything negative to say about the range it’s that they only go up to a size 24… I would love for them to extend that in the future, so keep your fingers crossed!

As you would expect from a fashion range like Boohoo, they really have some fashion forward and on trend pieces. In fact some of the pieces on the site are available on both the ‘normal’ range section and on Boohoo Plus, which is a massive positive in my eyes.


Just before I moved, the lovely team at Boohoo offered to send me an item to try for myself. I choose jeggings as they only go up to a size 24 and I wasn’t sure how I would be able to make the rest of the range work for me. That said, I have seen lots of reviews and I have my eye on more than a few items to buy in the future! The Kara Floral Jeggings are a great fit and really comfortable to wear. 

They’re a tiny bit long on me but then I am really short – they’re perfect to wear with boots though! I really love the pattern and vibrant colour of the jeggings and they feel a really nice thick, quality material which is always a bonus!

Have you tried anything from Boohoo yet?

It doesn’t matter whether it’s wine, make up, clothes or pretty much anything else – you can’t beat a bit of pink. At this time of year it is really nice to start to see colour coming through in fashion and that is something that I really enjoy and look forward to.
