Afternoon Tea With Anna Scholz

February 18, 2014 by Debz Louise 1 Comment

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited down to Anna Scholz HQ to view the new Anna Scholz/Simply Be collection. I have always kept an eye on the Anna Scholz collection because I love how bold and bright the colour and patterns are. Sadly sometimes colour and pattern is something that is lacking in plus size fashion, so it’s nice when a brand gives this a go.


When I got there I saw that they had some of Annas own collection stuff out too, not just the stuff for Simply Be. As someone who finds Anna Scholz stuff priced firmly out of their price range it was exciting to be able to see and feel the outfits – I never realised it, but the difference in quality is amazing! She had items in EVERY size to try on, although I wasn’t quite brave enough, I really wish I had!

Just look at all those colours and prints – beautiful!

So much colour – I was in heaven!

We were well looked after!

I believe the Anna Scholz collection and the items for Simply Be are up now, if they’re not then keep an eye out because they’re worth having a nosey at. Thank you to the team at Anna Scholz for making us feel so welcome and to Simply Be for inviting me.

Cut For Evans – The Marmite Effect

February 16, 2014 by Debz Louise 4 Comments

You might have read that earlier this week I was lucky enough to be invited to the Cut For Evans launch. For me, seeing the clothes on proper bodies rather than a mannequin was a massive step forward. The clothes look great on the website but seeing them on people made all of the difference.

Falling In Love With Scarlett & Jo

February 14, 2014 by Debz Louise 3 Comments

You’ll know that earlier this week I was invited to Evans at Marble Arch to view their Cut For Evans range. While I was there I took the chance to have a sneaky peak around the rest of the store, because I just don’t get to this side of town often enough.

I have kept my eye on the Scarlett and Jo dresses on the website, but I have to be honest there was nothing quite like seeing them in the flesh. The prom dress jumped out at me – it’s such a vibrant colour and nice shape. I don’t own many ‘pretty’ dresses like that, but it’s definitely one that I would like to have hanging in my wardrobe.

No Body Shame Campaign

February 10, 2014 by Debz Louise 1 Comment

Have you seen any of the ‘Fat Girl Dancing…’ videos? I came across them last week and I loved them!!




I looked into them in a little more detail and discovered the lady in them is a radio producer called Whitney Way. Thanks to the fantastic feedback she has received from the videos (you NEED to watch them on YouTube, she’s done loads of them and they’re brilliant) she has launched the ‘No Body Shame Campaign. As yet she the details are new – I think she had no idea how big the idea would grow – and boy it’s growing!


As you probably know, I love anything to do with body positivity and body image so I had blog. I will definitely be following this campaign to see how it grows. I have loved seeing it take off on Facebook, it’s pretty exciting!


She’s asking people  to send in selfie photos to promote the campaign, so OF COURSE, I had to be involved!


Make sure you check it out & get involved if you want to!


Do know of any body-positive influencers I am missing? Let me know

Where’s Wally?

February 7, 2014 by Debz Louise 1 Comment

When Lucia from U Can’t Wear That told me she was going clothes shopping in Primark, I had to do a double take. I know, I talk about igoring clothes sizes but it is still something I am trying to educate myself in. Lucia is a similar size to myself, so if she could fit into Primark, I wanted a piece!


I had a browse and couldn’t resist this funky Where’s Wally? t-shirt. It was a bargain price of £6 and it had to be mine!



I was worried about the length of the top, but I just chucked it on over a basic red new look skater dress – problem solved! This top is a size 20 (which I am not) so it just goes to show that you have to mess around with sizes & see what fits you – ignore the labels!!



Have you picked up any Primark bargains?

Aztec Dress & A New Leggings Company

February 4, 2014 by Debz Louise Leave a Comment

Just after Christmas I managed to snap up this dress in the New Look Inspire sale. It’s a bit small for me, but I don’t mind a cosy fit so its all good. I don’t have any aztec type print dresses and I think it was about £12 in the Christmas Sale, so you can’t go far wrong really!






I teamed it up with leggings from Big Bloomers Company.


Last week The Big Bloomers Company contacted me about reviewing their products – their website is amazing and they offer all sorts of items up to a size 8XL. I chose their smallest size of leggings which were still a little too big for me – but how fantastic to have options for larger ladies. I have to say the quality of the leggings is fantastic and I’ll definitely wear them with boots (so you cant notice that they’re too long ha ha) and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.




What did you manage to snag in the January sales?

Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes

February 1, 2014 by Debz Louise 2 Comments

Wear Stripes – I know, I know – fat girls shouldn’t wear stripes! I hear so many rules about what we should and shouldn’t wear that sometimes it makes me dizzy. Thankfully I don;t listen because I love this outfit! I love it even more because I picked up the jumper from ChatterMonkey at the Plus London Plus Size Market for a steal at just 50p!
