Plus North Part 2

So straight on from part 1, we got to Plus North a little earlier than we needed to but that gave me chance to chat with the lovely Chloe. She hadn't even finished setting up her stall before I'd picked these 2 beauties and decided they had to be mine!

Lisa and me spent a while chatting to everyone and generally having a giggle then it was time for me to get my model on! 

I was kindly given a bra and knicker set from Panache to wear under the outfit I would be modelling for Simply Be. Here it is,

Excuse the tape on my leg i had my tattoo
finished last week and I'm wet healing

Now lets talk about my outfit from Simply Be, it was amazing I loved it so much and I really don't think that Simply Be could have chosen an outfit that was more me! Here is a pic i took when i got home so you could see the outfit,

The top and skirt are both Anna Scholz for Simply Be and are a size 24, they are made from a thick jersey type material with some stretch. The skirt has the most amazing zip that goes all the way up the side so you can choose if you want to show a little more leg. The top is available here and the skirt is available here.

Everyone got together and waited for the catwalk to start, there was a lot of nerves and excitement as we waited to go on. Everyone looked so beautiful and it was great to see all the different shapes and sizes rocking it down the runway! I want to say a big thank you to Simply Be for giving me the chance to get my model on and being such a fab team to work with :)

I loved how the top and skirt looked like a dress and when I told people they were really surprised and the fact you can wear both together or separately just makes the outfit even more perfect! 

Simply Be were very kind and let all of us keep our outfits which was amazing. I loved mine so much I kept it on for the rest of the day.

The rest of the day was spent chatting, looking at the great companies stalls and some major whooping at the other catwalk shows! Along with some time in the photo booth of course!

If you didn't go to plus north this year you missed a truly amazing day and I can't put into words how much fun you would have so make sure you come to next years.

I'm a winner

A few weeks ago i opened up my email on my phone expecting the usual sales emails, twitter notifications etc when one popped up from the lovely people of Simply Be letting me know that i had won a dress of my choice for entering my details at plus north. I didn't win anything on the day so i was really happy i headed straight over to the site to choose a dress. I'd already decided that i was going to get something that was a little different from my usual choices, i spotted the shoe print dress first and that was hard to step away from! But then i saw this dress and i new that was the one i was going to choose.

 

The dress is Anna Scholz for simply be and is £68, i ordered my usual size 22 and crossed my fingers that it would be a perfect fit. I'm pleased to say that it was i genuinely love the dress and the fit and its still very me without being similar to anything else in my wardrobe. It has lovely gold sequined swallows on each side which i really like and the material is a lovely too.

I wore the dress out to dinner with my husband as we were celebrating his all clear, for another 9 months, from his cancer check up. Yey happy face :) We went to our favourite restaurant for steak and had a lovely evening.

I wore my oversized headband and one of my many pairs of Irregular Choice shoes.

I really love this dress so thank you so much to plus north and simply be for giving me the chance to win :) I felt really great in it and would definitely recommend this if you need a fancy black dress that stands out from the usual ones.

What do you think to my winnings?

have you been lucky enough to win anything recently?

XOXO

Day 9- The item at the top of your wishlist

This has to be the poodle print dress from anna scholz,as soon as i saw the print i fell in love. But a long distance love affair is all it will ever be at a hefty price of £299 its not something i would ever be able to afford. If i won' the lottery then of course but until that day, or the day it goes down to a quarter of its original price, i will have to admire it from a distance.
whats top of your wish list?
Thanks again for stopping by to read.
XOXO
