Party All Night

Here are some more outfits i recreated from Plus North as the only ones that i had taken were mirror shots in the hotel room. On Saturday night we went back to the Plus North venue, where there was music and a surprise evening fashion show. I decided to be comfy as i knew me and Lisa were planning to party hard after the event.

I wore my G21 for Asda over sized shirt which is now much less over sized after washed it (only on 30 by the way!) and my acid wash shorts from New Look.

Me and Lisa had just got to the pub after the event and in walked a Sam,Amanda,Elana and then Kerry. It was so nice to see these lovelies had come out and were in the mood to party. And party we did, although i spent quite a lot of the time on the stage dancing. Lisa thinks i spend so much time up there is because there is mirror behind it and i can see myself! She could very well be correct :)
I had a fab night and i really didn't want it to end, these girls are so lovely and i really enjoyed meeting them and spending the night in their company.

The next outfit was a bit of a spare of the moment choice. When we went for food on Sunday with the Mr, the other girls came too and said they were thinking of going out Sunday night too as their coach back to Scotland wasn't until Monday. So me and Lisa never one to turn down a chance to dance decided to stay another night in Leeds.

And that's how the clothes swap dancing outfit was born. I got these lovely shorts from Emma as she knew how much i love my shorts. The top was from the swap and is a size 24 from New Look, it hadn't been worn and still had the tags on, so a big thanks to whoever brought that.

The top was actually much longer on the night and unless i was stood side on to you, you couldn't actually tell that i had shorts on. This again has shrunk in the wash ( i honestly don't know how i do this to all my clothes) but as it was a little on the big side to start with it hasn't affected the fit at all and i really love it.

We had a great night Sunday too although it was much quieter out than it had been on Saturday but it was lovely to spend more time with everyone i just wish the girls didn't live so far away!

Neon Daisy

Today I'm sharing with you the outfit i wore on Sunday day at Plus North, Sunday was a more relaxed day with a clothes swap and talks from fellow bloggers. I only stopped on Sunday for the swap as i was meeting the Mr for food with Lisa so i wasn't able to stop for the talks. I got some great bits at the swap which i will be sharing with you soon, i even ended up wearing a whole outfit from the swap on Sunday night.

The top was another piece i bought in the Manchester Simply Be store. Again its from Ax Paris but i can't see it on the website anymore unfortunately. I'm not surprised its sold out to be honest as its such a cute easy to wear top.

I'm wearing a size 24 here as i wanted a looser fit to really show off the swing style. The top doesn't have any stretch to it really so i would advise to get your usual size or maybe one size up if you do manage to get your hands on it.

I teamed this with my acid wash shorts from New Look inspire which are no longer in stock, and my trusty New Look jacket. I decided to take this with me to Plus North as i thought it went well with all my outfit choices and i was a bit stuck for space as my case is only really small, but it does look like a penguin so its worth it!

I think i did quite well at packing light for Plus North and i managed not to forget anything along the way. Although when i do forget something while packing its usually the most important thing!
I hope your all having a good weekend do you have any plans?

Leeds Pride

Its been a few weeks since Leeds Pride but i wanted to share my outfit with you from the day. This whole outfit has come from New Look inspire. It was nice weather for Leeds Pride but as i had to set off at 8am that morning i took a jacket as i wasn't sure what it would be like later in the day.

This jacket is a size 18 i had to size down by two sizes to get the fit that i wanted. If you want this to be a more oversized jacket then you could always go for your usual size. They had loads in store so if they don't have your size online you could always try your local New Look. 

The jacket is really thin so you won't overheat in it and it you are going away and want to take a jacket this would be perfect. The jacket doesn't have any pockets which is a little disappointing but the cut and bright floral design more that make up for that.

I wore my acid wash shorts which are no longer online and this cute leopard print vest i got last year. The short are a size 20, i had to size down to get them to be fitted due to the stretch material. These are really comfy they are made from the softest material ever! 

The vest is a size 24 and is a good fit for me. It has a nice gold detail around the neckline which is what made me want it last year. I think the leopard and the floral from the blazer went really well together. I also wore a pair of bright pink pumps which i ended up having to throw away, i think i danced the soles right off!

I took lots of pictures on the day which you may have seen if you follow me on instagram if not and you want to follow me you can find me here.

Queen Of Hearts

As you might have seen in my last post i picked up a few bits from Asda recently and i wanted to share this amazing shirt with you.

This shirt was from the G21 section which unfortunately only goes up to a 20. I seriously wish Asda would make this range in a larger size range as it's usually got some amazing pieces in it.  The shirts really over sized so i managed to fit into the 20 with room to spare. I can fasten it all the way to the top with no gaping which is great.

The shirt is £14 although i got mine a little cheaper as one of the button holes was sewn shut so they knocked me 10% off. The shirt also came with a cute heart necklace which i love and i think it looks perfect with the shirt but I'm sure it'll get worn on its own too.

The shorts are the same ones from the previous post, i lifted the shirt up so you could get a better look. They don't have any stretch to them but they feel true to size for me and are really soft too. 

If I'd have seen this shirt online i would never have ordered it because even though it says over sized i wouldn't have though the size 20 would have fit without gaping so I'm really pleased that it was in store.

A Trip To The Supermarket

Supermarkets can be a great place to find some bargain pieces for your wardrobe so on my day off i decided to pop to the local Asda and have a good trying on session. I find my local Asda can be a bit hit and miss when it comes to larger sizes but its always worth a look.
I took quite a few pieces into the changing room and left with three so i didn't do too bad. Here are a few of the bits i tried on.

I did try some other stuff on too but i didn't get pictures of it all as my battery was dying. From these items i got the shorts and the vest from the first photo. I thought i would show you how they look in better light with a proper camera rather than my phone.

The shorts are a size 22 and were £8 which i thought was pretty good value and the vest was £6 so not overly priced at all. The vest is super comfy and soft and the 22 fit with quite a bit of room so it could easily fit a size 24 maybe bigger if you didn't mind a tighter fit.

 I also picked up a lovely over sized shirt which I'll be posting soon and this cute mouse face bag £8. I'm a bit of a sucker for bags that are animals faces, i was pulled in by a dog backpack too but i managed to resist.

Have you had any supermarket bargains recently ?

World Fashion

Sorry it been a while since my last post life has been hectic recently but hopefully fingers crossed everything is back on track! Today i wanted to share with you a cute outfit inspired by France. I was contacted recently by JD Wiliams and asked if i would like to take part in a world fashion inspired challenge. They asked me to pick something that reminded me of a county that's playing in the football at the minute at create an outfit based on that country.

I went for shorts which are the first thing that comes into my head when i think football and a super cute striped top that reminded me of the brenton stripes of France. 

The top has a relaxed fit to it so there was plenty of room in the size 22 that i was sent, it also has 3/4 sleeves which i love. Its made from a lovely soft jersey and i was really comfortable wearing this, it kept me surprisingly cool in the warm weather too. My favourite part of the top has to be the little lace trim as i think it makes the top stand out more than your basic striped tshirt.

I went with these shorts as the first thing i think about when it comes to football is shorts. As you know i have quite a few pairs of shorts already so it wasn't surprising they came to my mind straight away!

These are the Joe Browns hot pants although i personally don't find them to be that short, you definitely won't be flashing your bum walking down the street in them. These shorts are made from a denim with a fair bit of stretch so it makes them really easy to wear and very comfortable, they are really well made too. I have never owned anything from the Joe Browns collection before so it was nice to get to try a new brand.

So that's my look inspired by France and Football, i really love this outfit and i think it looks super cute. The one thing this challenge has made me realise is that my geographical knowledge leaves something to be desired!

Summery Casual

Toda's post is the next piece i got from the lovely guys over at Yours Clothing as you all know by now i love shorts! So the obvious choice or me was to try a pair of shorts from Yours. I decided to go with these denim shorts.

I got these in a 22 and i would say they are a generous 22 not enough to go down a full size but enough that you can eat a big dinner in them. They are really light so will be perfect for the summer and festival wear. 

These shorts are longer than lots of the other pairs i have but its nice to have a casual pair. I wore these with my strawberry print vest and purple lipstick, i really loved the outfit its different to what i would usually wear but i felt super relaxed and comfy.

These shorts will be perfect for me to wear for a day in the park and I'm sure they will end up in my festival bag too as they really are very comfy. The are nice a lightweight so you won't overheat in them in the summer either. If you fancy a pair they are available online here for £25.

Squeals of Excitement

A week or so ago i was casually browsing my usual online shopping sites when i spotted something on the Fashion World site that made me do several squeals on excitement and flap my arms about like i was trying to take off. It was a perfect pair of short dungarees, you might know that i have been searching for a pair of these in my size for ages!
I added them to my basket along with another pair of shorts which won't come for a week or so and waited with baited breath till they came.

As you can see they came and i love them!! I ordered a size 22 and they fit really well, if anything i would say they are on the generous side. They are quite light weight so they will be perfect for summer, although you know me i wear shorts no matter what the weather.

I wore these on Saturday to go shopping with Lisa and they were super comfy, you can alter the straps so that you get the perfect fit and the bottom has 2 buttons which i didn't need to use as i could slip the dungarees on without undoing them.

They also have plenty of pockets which makes me a happy lady. I decided to wear them with my glasses tshirt as i haven't worn it in a while and i do love the print. I think everyone should have a pair of these they are fabulous, they made me feel great and were so easy to wear.

I must say that Fashion World have an amazing selection of shorts at the minute i almost feel like they are designing just for me as I'm loving every pair!

Piercings and Partying

Two weeks ago now me and Lisa went into Sheffield to have catch up, and few drinks and to get pierced. I had decided a few months ago that i wanted to get my tragus pierced so off we went to blue banana in Sheffield who i have been pierced by before. They are really nice and chatty and get everything done super fast.

After piercings we went and had a browse at the vintage fair that was in town and then off to the pub we went. I had a great day and night and lots of dancing was done as always when me and Lisa get together. Here is what i wore when i went out, again i am rubbish and didn't get a picture before we left for Sheffield in the morning so i recreated my outfit here,

Firstly i know you have been seeing a lot of this jacket recently but i am completely in love with it and its so easy to wear! I wish Tesco would bring it back out in other colours so i could buy more of them.  I have been desperately searching for something similar to this jacket so i can mix it up a bit but so far i haven't found anything.

I decided to wear a shirt and shorts which i hadn't worn before but i thought they looked super cue together. The shirt is from New Look Inspire last summer and is a size 24 as i needed to size up to get it to close over my boobs. I really like this shirt the only negative about it was that a few of the buttons gape even though there is no tension in the shirt, it was happening over baggy part which i found very odd. However i could just sew the shirt up and leave the top few buttons so i can get it on and off.

Now lets talk about these shorts, i adore them! I bought these shorts from the Angela Ribbons collection at Simply Be along with this pair that i have already blogged about here. They were my birthday gift to myself and I'm so glad that i got them as i love both pairs so much. These are a size 22 and a perfect fit, there is even a little room. They are a little longer and not as fitted as the other pair, they also have this really great detail around the sides at the bottom.

These shorts are made from a thicker denim than the other pair and aren't as stretchy however they have a small stretch panel at the waist which helps keeps them comfy after a big dinner. Simply Be have come up trumps again for me with these shorts.

XOXO

Cheeky Lace

A few weeks ago i ordered 2 pairs of shorts from Simply Be for my birthday and couldn't wait to wear them. As I'm sure you all know i adore shorts and i will wear them for any occasion so when i saw that Simply Be had new shorts in stock i was so happy! I decide to wear this pair when i went out for a few drinks after work with some old friends.

I wore my Old Navy cardigan which i got years ago while I was in Florida, and the dipped hem tshirt that i picked up in the Simply Be sale for £10 just after Christmas. I really love this top it is so soft i spent most of the day stroking it! Unfortunately its not in stock on the website at the moment but if it comes up on ebay snap it up its so easy to wear!

These shorts are a size 22 and have a little room in them so if you fancy a pair you can just get your usual size. They have stretch to them, so they are really comfortable to wear and they come to mid thigh so they are pretty short. But you all know how i love a booty short.

The shorts have a white lace trim which just adds to the cuteness of them. I cannot wait until the summer when i can wear them with a cami or sheer shirt and bare legs, i did put nude tights on when i went out, as it was pretty chilly.

Bit of a squiffy face in this pic, i blame the hangover!

I have already got a few pairs of shorts from Simply Be and they never let me down they are always cute and a great fit. Every time i check their website i always check the shorts section first, i think i might have an addiction!

Dancing Partners

A few weeks ago i went out with my favourite lady Lisa to celebrate my birthday. We met up for food and then spent the evening having a few cheeky drinks and doing a lot of dancing. I didn't get any pictures of my outfit before i went out that day as i had a few issues with tights and hair and false eyelashes which meant i was running around like crazy and getting a little stressed that i would be late.

I re created the outfit so you could see what i wore

I really did not dress for the weather is was pretty cold and really windy then half way through the night it started to rain and i don't think it stopped. My feet ended up getting so wet my shoes were leaving wet footprints on the dance floor but it didn't stop me and Lisa having a great time.

I wore my Tesco leopard jacket which you have seen a few times now, my much loved New Look inspire denim shorts and a cute floral tshirt which i got last summer from New Look inspire but never wore. I think i paid about £15 for it and got it in a size 24. I thought the floral and leopard print went really well together and i loved how this outfit looked even when it was wet through!

I am looking forward to re creating this outfit in the summer without the tights and hopefully without getting caught out in the rain again. 

I hope you all had a great weekend. 

XOXO

Spotty Sale

Here is another jumper i picked up from my Doncaster shopping trip, this was a bargain at £15 in the Simply Be sale. I bought it to go with shorts again as i really loved how it looked with them when i tried it on in store.

I really like how the jumper has shorter sleeves and is quite a loose fit. This one is a size 20/22 and has quite a bit of room in it. Its like nothing that i already own, and when i first picked it up it was more out of curiosity of how it would look rather than because i loved it. But I'm so glad i did because now i don't want to take it off!

I think this will be my go to jumper to wear with my shorts and it will be perfect when the weather warms up a little too and we don't need to wear coats to stop us freezing! This colour of jumper is no longer in stock but they do have it in a cute blue colour which Lisa wore here. 

As you can see i am very pleased with my purchase ! The shorts I'm wearing were from New Look in the sale over a year ago so my whole outfit cost me £25 which i think is really good!

I think i might me in the middle of a jumper craze i am loving them at the moment.

XOXO

Dancing Queen

Last weekend me and Lisa decided to go to BGP in Manchester for those of you who haven't heard of it check out the website here. Now I'm sure that those of you who have might have some options on the night, before going I'd heard everything from it being great fun to it being like a fetish night. I went with an open mind, for me you can't really judge it till you try it, and I really loved it! I had a great night, I met some amazing ladies there and the guys that were there were friendly but never in a pervy way.

Me and Lisa got to the hotel early to relax ,get ready and have a few drinks. This turned into a bottle of wine and a bottle of vodka but we do like to start the party early!

I even managed to put fake lashes on myself and Lisa without either of us looking like an extra from a clockwork orange.

Here's what I wore for the night, this picture was taken by Lisa in the hotel but I have recreated it at home where the light is better.

I wanted something comfortable that I could dance the night away in and this was perfect.The top is a bodysuit I got ages ago from asos curve, I adore it and you don't have to keep tucking it in like you sometimes end up doing with tshirts.

The shorts are from Simply Be and I only have good things to say about them! They are a size 24 and fit perfectly they have some stretch and are lovely and short with the cute lace detail around the bottom. Unfortunately they don't have them in stock anymore if they did i would be buying a second pair they are that amazing!

We got to BGP around 9 and chatted to a few people then after an hour or so I decided it was time to dance and barely sat down for the rest of the night. I had a fab time and met lots of lovely people although maybe I danced too hard as my legs felt like they might fall off the next day

XOXO
