Spotty Chic

I few weeks ago I was asked by the lovely Dr. Agnès Rocamora who works for the London college of fashion if I would be interviewed as part of some work she is doing on fashion blogging. I of course said yes and a few weeks later we met in Sheffield for a lovely lunch while she interviewed me. I thought I'd show you all what I wore on the day.

I knew I wanted to wear this spotty shirt that Simply Be had kindly sent me to review.

I just wasn't sure what I wanted to wear with it, after a mini panic about not having enough clothes ( this said by the woman with 3 wardrobes I know! ) I spotted my Dorothy Perkins leopard print skirt.

I put them on and it was a match made in heaven! This shirt is beautiful, it has a lovely soft and silky feel to it and unlike other shirts on me the arms aren't dangling down past my fingers! I decided to dress the shirt up but I do plan to wear it with some denim shorts soon for a more relaxed look.

I added a bag from river island that I've had for years, some irregular choice heels and my new black heart creatives necklace. 

The shirt is a size 24 as I do have to size up in anything with buttons, if I don't my boobs are on a constant bid for freedom! This shirt is still available on here for £26.

I had a lovely few hours with Agnès and it just felt like chatting to an old friend :) I can't wait to see her completed work.

A Little Later Than Expected

Today's post is my fatshionologie post it should have been up over the weekend but i wasn't very well so here it is for you today a little later than expected but just as lovely.

This months theme was polksdots, i didn't have any idea what i was going to wear but when i opened up my wardrobe i spotted this in the polkadot section (yes i organise my wardrobes in prints). I got this dress at the second fat swap and it was brought by the lovely Rebecca. 

The dress is from Joanna Hope and has a slip underneath the dress so your not showing your underwear to everyone! Its such a beautiful dress and its really lovely to wear,

The dress has a cute ruffle detail down the front and fastens with buttons, i left the top few undone for a more open neck, and a tie belt to give a more defined waist.

I decided to keep this outfit simple with some faux pearl earrings from primark and my leopard cat ears hat which my mum got me at Christmas.

This dress is the most perfect summer dress its so light and floaty, great for keeping cool! Thank you so much to Rebecca for bringing it to the swap, it has a happy new home :)

Hope you all had a great weekend.

Super soft spots

I was contacted recently and offered some things to review from Curvissa i chose a super cute strawberry vest which i blogged about here and a lovely red and white spotted cardigan.

The cardigan is super soft and a great fit. I asked for the 18-20 as i have the same cardigan in leopard print and i knew to size down. I can still fasten the 18-20 so its quite roomy which i love! 

I wore the cardigan with my white jersey dress which I've had for a few years from Tesco, tights are from Primark and shoes are Irregular Choice.

This cardigan is available online here for £42 which might seem a little pricey for a cardigan but the quality is amazing and it really is worth the price, you will definitely get your wear out of it. I have worn both this one and the leopard print one several times and they keep there shape really well and  are lovely and snuggly. You can also get this is blue and white and it is available in sizes 14-32 which is a great size range.

Its even snazzy inside! I cannot praise this cardigan enough i love it so much i really hope they continue to bring it out in many different prints.

Here are a few pieces from Curvissa that caught my eye

This is two dresses in one! What more could i ask for i love the floral print which will look lovely in the summer there is also a second layer under this which is another dress in blue stripes. Available here £69  in sizes 14-32.

I love this denim jacket, i used to live in mine when i was younger but when it no longer fit i could never find another that i loved as much, but i think i might have hit the jackpot here! Available here for £45 in sizes 14-32.

I love a pastel clouded pump for the summer and these are really cute. Available here in the sale from £15 also in white,black and yellow in sizes 3-10, the size range is fab i love that they have included the smaller and larger sizes as so many places seem to stick to 4-7.

After getting the strawberry print vest I'm looking for more to go with my shorts this summer and thought this was pretty i love the purple flowers. Available here for £22 in sizes 14-32.

Do you have a favourite piece from Curvissa?

I hope you all have a lovely weekend :)

A spotty ootd

Today I had a day off work so me and the mr went to see The Avengers,had something to eat and went for a browse around meadowhall. It has rained again for most of the day but I was pretty cosy. I wore a spotty playsuit from asos curve,now I love the playsuit but the sizing is so small. At the time I bought it I just took the tags off and into the wardrobe it went but it's very tight across the bust, I think I might be able to sort it out with a bit of DIY cutting and sewing so fingers crossed! Other than the bust it fits ok but the torso is quite short and I'm only 5 4" I think if you were any taller it would be a good idea to size up. Today I wore it with a cardigan from asda as it's a bit too chilly to have bare arms and black tights from primark. My hair needed washing but I didn't have time so on went the headscarf, it's from primark and came in a two pack for £2.
I absolutely love playsuits and must own about ten, I like how they look like dresses but you don't have to worry about flashing if it's a windy day!
How about you do you like a playsuit as much as me?
