Modelling at Plus North

A few weeks ago  i was at Plus North an annual event and i got to model for Simply Be, like last year i had a blast! I'm afraid to say i was a bad blogger and forgot to take any pictures as i was busy chatting with lots of lovely people and browsing the stalls full of beautiful pieces.
Lisa did manage to snap a few pictures on my phone so i will share those and i was lucky enough to be able to keep the pieces i modelled so that i can show them to you today.

There are lots of post about Plus North if you want to read more about the day and if you search #plusnorth on instagram you will find so many amazing pictures. Also Katy has done a vlog of her time at Plus North so take a look here, she also managed to get most of the catwalk shows filmed too, it was great to see everyone modelling as i had missed one of the catwalks.

So first up i modelled this beautiful playsuit in a size 22. The fit is great and as it's made from a soft jersey material it's so comfy. This playsuit has a beautiful lace detail over the top and shoulders, and the cut out at the front which turns what could have been quite a plain playsuit into something special.

I will definitely be getting lots of wear from this, i think its a really easy piece to dress up and down.

I was also sent a leopard print underwear set to model, which had me super excited. I was sent this gorgeous bra and these knickers that hug your bum in the most amazing way! I was sent the knickers in a 22 which fit really well and are comfy too. The bra was a size 42F and although i thought it would be far to small when i first saw it it actually fit me really well and didn't feel tight or uncomfortable at all.

Sorry for the lack of pictures during the event but as i say i was having far too much fun! I hope you are all having a great weekend.

XOXO

Plus North Part 3

Following on from parts 1 and 2 today is the last part of my Plus North post. It was such a great time and i wish that it happened every weekend!
So part 3 is all about the after party, I was really lucky and i was asked to model for Scarlett & Jo and it was an amazing experience. While Lisa and Laura went back to the hotel to change i went off to get my hair and make-up done for the night time fashion show. I had my hair and make up done by the loveliest girl ever she was so nice and i really loved what she did with my hair and make up!

How amazing is my hair?!

There was quite a few of us getting hair and make up done and we all had a ball, the thing i love about plus north is that your never alone, everyone is always so friendly and you end up talking to people like you have known them for years!

A few of my fellow models, gorgeous aren't they?!

I was given 2 outfits to wear by Scarlett & Jo a lovely black and white dress which mirrored the lovely Kathryn's and we opened the show walking down the catwalk together, i couldn't have asked for a nicer model partner.

My second outfit was the most gorgeous maxi dress ever, in a beautiful blue with amazing embellishments on the shoulders.

I loved all the clothes that Scarlett & Jo had to show on the catwalk and i now have a list as long as my arm of pieces i need to buy!

We were given a goodie bag from the lovely Scarlett & Jo team which was so nice of them and it included a amazing "fatshion" necklace. I literally gasped when i saw it, i love it so much!

I want to say a massive thank you to Scarlett & Jo for letting my strut my stuff i had a blast!

Once the catwalk was over it was time for me to do a quick change into my night outfit and get my dancing head on, and boy was it on!

I wore my Asos bodysuit and my New Look body con mini skirt and i added flat animal print shoes as knew i'd be doing a lot of dancing. I also wore my Twisted Siren ring which i bought during the day ay Plus North.

There was karaoke at the night and plenty of opportunity to dance your socks off! I had a great time dancing with all the ladies and shaking my thing, i can't dance but hey i like to! There was lot of ladies getting on the karaoke and belting out the tunes :) including the lovely Gemma who did an amazing bit of Kate Bush!

It was really nice to see everyone having fun and letting their hair down and there are some great videos on instagram of everyone having fun and letting loose, check out the #plusnorth hashtag.

Once the after party ended a few of us went out for an after after party where more drinks and dancing was done.

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 didn't get any pictures myself but here are a few taken from some other lovelies.

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!

I met so many amazing people far too many to list them all here! But it was great to meet new people and finally meet others who I had spoken to for so many months online.
I really did have the best time for more pics check out the #plusnorth has tag on instagram, i cannot wait to see all the picture from the event!

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.
Bring on plus north 2014!
