New blog. Hoping to make that blog my own

Good Bye

Evening everyone, 

This blog is now officially out of photo memory so i have created a new google account.

Please can i ask you all to come and follow that blog as well.

Its in its very early stages and i'm going to dedicate some time to it this week to get it how i want it xxx

Friday Friday Friday

Yes it is November, Yes it has been Cold but sometimes something summery is the only thing that will do!

I got this top from Dorothy Perkins in Stoke on Trent when i went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago. 

I struggle with tops as i have smallish boobs and big hips, so it feels too big round the shoulders and too tight round the middle.

I did a bit of tucking in, which since blogging fatshion i've become far more comfortable with.

Top Size 22 £7 Dotty P's

Jeans Size 22 Sainsburys
Belt Evans
Socks Primark

Boohoo Blog Competition

Today I got an email about a blog competition, normally I ignore things think this as I'm always convinced they are a scam. I don't know why today was different but I decided to look on boohoo's website and see if I could find the competition and I did. 

boohoo.com is not a website I have ever looked on before and I'm pleasantly surprised and very disappointed at the same time. 

Some fab on trend items for really reasonable prices sadly they don't cater for the plus size amongst us, I think the biggest size is an 18's, however everything I clicked into seemed to stop at a size 16. 

Now I really should have turned round and moved away but I didn't and I searched and I’ve found loads of things I want, so I though sod it I'm entering this competition even if all I can buy is shoes and handbags with my winnings, what you might also like to read about is as part of the prize is a voucher to share with blog readers. Now I only have 45 GFC followers so you might be in with a chance! Haha I'm counting my chickens here but let’s think positive! 

I went with a fantasy outfit, something I could never get away with even if they sold it in my size with the exception of the earrings. 

Lindsey Bandage Bodycon Dress £25 - I feel in love with this dress as soon as I clicked on it, I adore the contrast between the black and the gold and how it wrapped round the dress

• Dina Suedette Shoe Boot With Jewel And Stud Wedge £35 I am a flats girl at heart, I rarely do heels but these wedges spoke to me, and I really like boots with dresses
• Lorraine All Over Skull Print Waterfall Cardigan £15 I’m getting on a bit now, at the grand "old" age of 31, I need a cardie or a jacket. I was looking at blazers and a large number were under £20 but I love how fun this skull print jacket is.
• Mia Deco Chain Link Necklace £10 simple, I think this necklace style is the way to go with this dress; the dress has enough "bling" without being OTT 
• Lilly Ornate Armour Ring £8 again this is something I could never wear myself but I love this ring and at £8 is amazing
• Millie Large Stud Earrings £4 again keeping it simple 

All I need now is to win and for them to do some plus size lines and I’m there! 

Have you shopped at boohoo.com? What do you think? 

I think I’ve got quite a bit for £97. I did see some cheaper heeled boots that I really liked for £20 but as everything I liked was so reasonably priced I decided to push the boat out and go for the "dearer" pair and I still have money left

I was going to say what shall I get with my virtual £3 but I've just noticed there is no free postage so I'm now 99p short on standard delivery! 

I'm not a total cheapskate but I do hate paying for delivery! 

The AF Bloggers Budget Challenge - November

The AF Bloggers Budget Challenge - November

I've been following a blogged called Sera for a long time now, initially I followed her Slimming World blog but when she moved in to fashion I carried on following her.

For a while now she has been involved in fashion challenges. After a lovely chat on Twitter it was decided to do a Plus Size / Curvy edition. Now even as a "BIG" girl I don't know what the correct or polite terminology is.

The challenge is called

The AF Bloggers Budget Challenge

The other ladies in the challenge are:

Sera  - who organised it all
Beth
Kathryn
Kellie

The jist is 4 bloggers one store one theme, all the clothes are from Clothing at Tesco -Party Range

As a massive fan of Tesco clothing I was very excited, I go to my local store a fair bit and just before the challenge I’d been to the Tesco Home store in Denton and seen lots of nice things. I'm not a massive fan of shopping on line and initially struggled finding things I’d seen in store available in my size (20/22) on line.

The "Theme" was Christmas Party Wear. I knew exactly which dress I wanted from the True Range. Black and with Lace - as a normal avoider of black i thought it'd be nice for a change.

We got given £30 so with my spare £12 I wanted to get shoes but the ones I liked or they weren't available in my size, so I did a bit of panic buying and got a jacket and a cardie from the sale area.

I also need to apologise for the photo quality my camera is eating memory cards so I'm using the internal memory.

The Dress was £18 from the True Range - this is a range I tend to avoid as I can just about fit into the standard F&F range but as this was a plus size challenge decided to run with it.

I love the dress, its really nice good quality material, the main dress is a thick Jersey and the lace is nice and stretchy so i don't feel restricted.  Sadly i don't think the shape is very flattering on me.

Dress Size 22 - Tesco £18

I also got this Kimono style jacket, I didn't realise (even though the title should have told me) it was flowery I thought it was dotty. I just don't know how it is meant to look when its on.

Jacket Size 22 Tesco £7

 I love the white waterfall front cardie they only had it in a 16 but it fits! I thought it might dress down the outfit so I could wear it for work.

Cardie Size 16 Tesco £5

Shoes Size 7 M&S 

I have plans to wear this dress for a friends 30th in December and I will be teaming it with Black tights and some Navy and Black Heels from M&S, the theme of her Party is B&W however I don't like this combo so thought I’d add the blue to cheer me up.

OOTD is back

Evening, i thought you all deserved to see an OOTD from me.

Its been a couple of weeks. I'm still having camera issues. i am going to have to bite the bullet and get a new of after Christmas I think. 

I got up late this morning so i threw on the first things i saw. 

Purple Skirt - Size 18 or 20 from Peacocks

Jumper L or XL from H&M (hand me down from la mama) 

I also wore black tights and some black slipper pumps from Primark

What did you wear today?

Apologies

I've been a bit of a busy bunny over the past week or so, Gym and i went to a Wedding in Stoke over the weekend.

Some highlights from it are below.
