Summer with Topsy Curvy

by Leave a Comment

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll see that last week I visited
Manchester and popped into see jo at Topsy Curvy. It was at her temporary
premises but still amazing – she moves into her new permanent shop hop next
week and I am really excited to see what it is like!
One of the things I love about Topsy Curvy is that they do
lots of clothes which have plenty of stretch, this means I can get away with
things technically too small. When you’re used to being sized out of plus size
fashion, this is a really nice feeling! I’ve spoken about it before and I love
Jo for her passion for plus size fashion – she is constantly striving to stock
items above a size 26 and she’s doing really well at it!
 
 
This floral jersey dress is a size 26, but it fits me well
and I love the length of it. They have also recently started to stock over
brands and this denim shirt is one of the items that have come from Lovedrobe.
I wouldn’t usually wear something like this, but Jo encouraged me to try it on
and see how I felt about it – and I have to say, I really like it and I am so
glad I did.
 
Topsy Curvy are doing great for fast plus size fashion
lately and it’s amazing to see the brand grow! I can’t wait to see what the new
premises brings, hopefully more items like this!

Easter Sunday with Scarlett & Jo

by Leave a Comment

Happy Easter Monday everyone!


I hope you all had a nice weekend – I don’t always get Bank Holiday weekends off, so it was nice to enjoy this one with some friends. Yesterday I went into Birmingham city centre and had lunch and a few drinks with some friends, which was really nice!






I think sometimes when we read blogs, we always see new items of clothing and people looking overly glamorous and as readers we can be left lusting over this type of lifestyle. However, the truth is that blogs (and social media in general) are designed to showcase the best parts – and so we don’t always see the days where a blogger throws on a dress and leaves the house looking comfortable and cosy.




I don’t wear this Scarlett & Jo dress often enough, but as I knew I would be in the pub for a good few hours yesterday I wanted something that I would be comfortable wearing all day. I knew this dress would be perfect because it’s really nice and oversized and the material is nice and soft.






I literally threw this on, some leggings and a pair of pale pink trainers. I felt decent and was comfortable all day!


What have you been up to this weekend?

Plus Size Issues: Easy Access Baths

by Leave a Comment

Easy Access Baths – It’s all well and good talking about pretty dresses and where to buy wide fit shoes, but sometimes there are other issues that are involved in living life plus size. I know that if you’re smaller than me these issues might not affect you, in fact I am at a size where many of them don’t affect me but it is important to recognise that they are issues for people and that sometimes we need to look for solutions.

Plus Size Blogging: Fighting The Good Fight

by Leave a Comment

Plus Size Blogging – When I first started blogging I did it because I was passionate about discovering fashion. When I first started blogging I was brand new to fashion choices, especially dresses and similar items so discovering these was exciting. As a size 30/32 I couldn’t believe that a whole world of fashion I hadn’t ever heard of was passing me by. I lived in jeans and t shirts because
I thought these was the best (*only) option for someone of my size.

Sunday Stripes

by Leave a Comment

Sunday Stripes – A few weekends ago I was invited out for a Sunday carvery with a friend of mine and jumped at the chance. Sunday dinner is without a doubt my favourite meal in the world, so being able to do this in a countryside pub sounded perfect! Luckily a few days beforehand the lovely lot at Lovedrobe had sent me this beaut of a dress so I knew exactly what I wanted to wear.
