Fatty At A Festival

I'm sure you have all read in my previous posts that i recently went to Leeds Festival. Now this was my first festival and i couldn't wait to go and experience it much to others peoples apprehension when i told them. After all I'm quite the pop princess and I've never even been camping never mind to a festival!
Well i survived and i had the most amazing time, there was lots of dancing and laughter and catching up with old friends, oh a little drinking too ;)
So i thought I'd show you what i wore, i couldn't show you my wellies though as i left those muddy little things there!

The shorts were in the sale at New Look for £9 and the t-shirt is from Betty Bee Vintage.

I got this sweat top just before i went from Asda for £12 i really loved the print it reminds me of an old sofa!

This t-shirt was from Primark and it was nay a few pounds but i love it its so soft and comfy and as you can see the 20 had plenty of room.

If you didn't see my tweets from the festival you might not know that my tent flooded after the first day and never dried out as it rained for pretty much the whole festival! My lovely friend Megan was kind enough to let me sleep in her tent though so big thanks to her :) 

Here are a few snaps from the festival

Muddy wellies and sexy plastic bags to keep

I really had a such great time so thank you to my lovely friend Lauren for inviting me !

Powerfit Rarr

Its been a while since my last post as I've been busy recovering from Leeds Festival (a sign of a good few days!) but I'm back with a good 'un for you today. I was contacted recently and asked if i would like to try one of the Scarlett & Jo powerfit dresses in leopard print of course this had me sold straight away!

As soon as i tried the dress on i loved it, it is one of those dresses that just makes you feel fabulous! 

I was sent the dress in a 24 which i love the fit off, i think you would be ok just to go for your normal size if your happy with a more body con fit than i have here. The dress is available online here along with other prints and colours. 

The one thing i love about Scarlett & Jo is the price points, i think they are spot on and you always get great quality from them too. I have quite a few dresses from them which i love and this will be another to add to the collection.

I think the dress speaks for itself so i kept the rest simple with black heels and just a little lipstick. I think this dress will be perfect for work with some pumps, then a quick change into heels and some colourful lipstick ready for the night.

I really love this dress and think it would look amazing on everyone! The leopard print really makes the dress stand out and gives it a little extra oomph, this is definitely a dress that everyone should have in their wardrobe. 

You can unleash your wild side here or if your not addicted to leopard print like me you can get other colours here.

Pretty Peacocks

This is my second scheduled post while I'm away at Leeds festival so i thought what better follow on from Lauren's dress but to show you Em's beautiful dress.
This dress it cut to perfection and it makes me feel like a million dollars :) It shows off my figure really well and i makes me feel really smart too. I love the mix of colours from the peacock print.

I got this dress in a 22 and i love the fit, this dress seriously feels like it was made just for me. When a dress does that it's definitely a winner in my book.

This dress comes to just below my knee which i love, and it has some stretch too so you may want to size down for a more fitted look. The camera hasn't picked it up very well but the dress has beautiful gathering down the sides to the front which make the fit even better.

I really love the waist band of the dress too which brings the dress in under your bust to give the dress a really nice shape. I think this dress is really versatile, I'd wear it to work if i wanted to dress up a little or out for a night out with some heels and a few sparkles.

I really love this dress, again a big thank you to Em and Simply Be for creating and designing this beauty! If you want to get yours head over to the website, what are you waiting for?

Here is Em looking totally gorgeous in her dress 

XOXO

Ice Cream Queen

I have had this dress since it was released but i haven't shown it you on the blog until now. This dress was designed by the lovely Lauren from Pocket Rocket for Simply Be. I loved this dress since i saw the first pictures of the design, the cut was me and the print is to die for! I mean who doesn't like ice cream right?!

I got the dress in a 22 which is a good fit for me but i know a few people who got the dress found sizing down was good for them.

I wanted to say sorry for the bags and shoes in the background i have scheduled these posts as i am away at leeds festival and have all my stuff out ready to pack. I know, this pop princess at a festival ,wish me luck lol!

The dress comes to my knees and it is made from a stretch material, for me its a bit too thick to wear when its really warm but i think it will be perfect for the cooler months.

If you want to get your hands on this beauty then you can here.

I think the dress is amazing and its so reflective of Lauren as well. I'm so glad i got my hands on one and i know that it will be something that gets worn over and over again.

I haven't belted the dress but if you wanted to you could along with adding some neon accessories like Lauren did.

Thank you to Lauren and Simply Be for creating such a fun, vibrant dress.

XOXO

Sale Bargains

So my spending ban has gone out of the window and i have a few new pieces to show you over the next few weeks. The total cost of this outfit was £27 including shoes which i think it really good!
I got the top from Evans it was in the sale for £15, it was one of the few things from the Clements Ribeiro collection that i didn't try on the first time around. I got a size 20 and it is really generous i think you could get into the 20 if you wear a 24. The t-shirt is really soft and comfy to wear and i think it looked cute with my new shorts.

The shorts were in the sale in New Look for £9! i got a size 22 and they fit great and they are super short which i love. I took the pics when i got in so i look a little dishevelled but still cute.

The pumps were from Primark for £3 and that was full price not sale. They are really comfy and didn't hurt my feet while i wondered around the shops last weekend.

I really love this outfit but it seems to draw a lot of attention from others, I'm not sure if its the fact a fat girl has all that leg out or my tattoos or a combination of both! But i have never been one to shy away from attention :)

I hope you all had a great weekend, i spent most of mine shopping but there is nothing new there is there?!

XOXO

Second Times A Charm

Hello to all you lovelies i hope you are all well :) Today i thought I'd show you an outfit i wore yesterday. When the Clements Ribeiro holiday collection came out a few months ago i tried nearly everything on but only bought 2 tops and the swimsuit the rest of the collection just didn't seem a good fit for me.
Fast forward a few months and i was back in Evans, (i swear the staff think i sleep in the stock room!) and i was browsing the sale rails and saw that lots of the collection was heavily reduced. Now even though I'd already tried it all on and hadn't fallen in love i thought I'd give it another try. I picked up this dress which was reduced from £39.50 to £15, they only had an 18/20 left but i thought I'd give it a go and I'm so glad i did.

I really love it! The first time i had tried on a 22/24 which looked really bad on me but i never thought to size down. This fits really well in the 18/20 on me and it still has room in it, the only downside of sizing down was that its quite short, this doesn't bother me but if you like to bend over maybe add some leggings or thick tight in the winter. 

I think the green goes really well with my purple hair and i really loved the print. It was one of my favourites at the launch but getting the wrong size had put me off. 

I think this is a fab bargain for £15, they only have a 14/16 online but they did have a few in the store near me so you might still find one in the sale rack.

The dress doesn't really have very much stretch but is really generous which is why the 18/20 was better for me. The material is also quite thick so better for cooler days.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend :) 

XOXO

Stand Out From The Crowd

This time for the omcz post it was my turn to choose the theme so i went for standing out from the crowd. However each wanted to interpret it was up to them, whether it was bright clothes, flesh out and proud or breaking a fashion rule etc.

Now i stand out from the crowd most of the time, but i like that,being different shouldn't make you want to blend in it should make you want to stand out more. That's the way i see it anyway i like to be visible and if someone has an issue with that then they have two choices really and one of them ends in off :)

So although I'm wearing all black which is pretty unusual for me, i still stand out a lot. I have bright purple hair, i have visible tattoos and fat and I'm breaking the 'don't show your boobs and legs' rule in a very sheer top. Do you know what? I felt absolutely amazing i think i looked great and I'd wear this everyday if i could.

I wore this out for my impromptu night of dancing I'd bought the skirt and top from  New Look that day and changed into it from the dress I'd been wearing during the day. It was perfect for dancing in, although the skirt might be a bit short for some peoples tastes but not mine!

The skirt was only £8.99 and i got a size 22, its a stretchy material so you don't need to size up, the top was £17.99 and a size 26. The lovely Lisa had taken it into the changing rooms but didn't want it so i tried it on and fell in love, the neck line detail is beautiful.

If you want to stand out then do it, never worry about what someone else thinks you're the only one that actually counts :)

Lets see how the others stood out,
