A Little Birthday Wishlist

Hey lovely people, 

So I know I said I would post 3 times a week, but this week has been exceptionally busy and for that reason I haven't really had much computer time. However, I have a spare 10 minutes this morning and thought I would share a little wishlist post for my upcoming 29th birthday next month. It is of course an enormous hint to my hubby, so hopefully he gets the message loud and clear. :)

1:

This is Model 4018 from Sekonda, as part of the new Editions range. I saw it for the first time last night while watching "Fearne and McBusted" and I just love it. I've been looking at watches for so long, and had my eye on a few including some Michael Kors ones that were just gorgeous, but I really loved this one instantly and it's only £39.99... so BARGAIN!!! 

2:

I can't say enough about this genius cleanser from Liz Earle. I have been using it for 1 years and I have literally no complaints whatsoever. My skin feels so fresh and clean and fantastic when I use this, so naturally I run out a lot. It's £14.95 for the 100ml pump directly from Liz Earle or you can get two 100ml pumps from QVC for £28. :) 

3:

I have been dreaming about this gorgeous lippy since reading the April Vogue (UK edition). It has been on my wishlist since then, but I still haven't managed to justify the £24 price tag to my hubby. He just doesn't understand the importance of me having this gorgeous piece in my collection. I wonder if he ever will!!! :(

4:

My 4th item is these slim fitting boyfriend jeans from Simply Be. I'm generally a dark jean kinda gal, but I really love these. they are super cute and will look fab with a pair of pumps & a tee... my fave kind of outfit. They are £35. 

5:

The 5th and final item on my wishlist is this little treat of a tv show. :) It is my new favourite... and is AMAZEBALLS! I have quite seriously watched all 4 seasons on a loop on Sky & Netflix, and I just can't get enough. It is available from Play at £29.99 for all 4 of the current seasons.

So there you have it. I don't think I'm asking for too much...

Take care lovelies. x

Monday Wish List - True Blue Inspiration

Hey there lovely people!

Well it's time for my Monday wish list and this week I'm showcasing choices from both Yours Clothing and Simply Be - 2 of my favourite places to visit for plus-sized clothing.

The colour I'm feeling this week is blue... and all the different shades of blue for that matter. This has been inspired by the amazing sight of the bright blue skies we've had this week, what with it being the start of Spring and all. However, I've not went overboard with the skimpy clothing - it is after all still freezing most days, so I've included a few Spring jacket options, perfect for those days where the sun is shining but there's still a nip in the air. So anyway, let's just get on with it.

The first selection comes straight from Yours Clothing.

1. Blue marl sleeveless jersey top - £9
2. Mid Blue Basic Crop Jeans - £18
3. Navy Blue Lightweight Cotton Parka Jacket With Hood - £39
4. Navy Blue Canvas Trainers With Laces - £16
5. Black Sunglasses With Silver Snake Trim - £6

I love these items because they are very appropriate for a Scottish Springtime. The cropped jeans give enough coverage and are thick enough that if it's cold they provide enough heat, but if it's warm you have the turn-ups that give your legs a bit of a breather. The blue tones in each of the items are quite muted and therefore would be appropriate for all kinds of weather, whereas my selection below, from Simply Be, is much more bright and vibrant and just kinda screams SUNSHINE!!!

This selection comes straight to you from SimplyBe.

1. Boyfriend T-Shirts (2 pack) - £24
2. Cara Boyfriend Jeans - £40
3. Parka Jacket - £40
4. Sole Diva Lace Up Pump - £22
5. Fiorelli Classic Cat's Eye Sunglasses - £61

Similarly, Simply Be offer a great spring line, all be it at a slightly higher cost than Yours Clothing. I particularly love the pop of colour from this blue parka, which can I just add would be a perfect addition to any festival goers suitcase this year!

Anyway lovely people, be sure to give these great sites a visit. There's an abundance of choice at amazing prices and I promise you will get lost in amongst the offerings.

I'll be back with another Wish List post next Monday and I hope you enjoyed this one.

Take care lovelies. x

Monday Wish List - Coral Inspiration

Hey lovely people!

Ok so I have been doing a lot of online window shopping as of late. Like most women, I have quite the taste for spending a bit of cash on clothing and therefore have built up quite the collection of bits and pieces, that I want to get my hands on.

So on that note I have separated my items into different categories based on the type of style I'm going for with each outfit.

Spring Daytime

So outfit number 1 is inspired by Spring. Not showing too much flesh but definitely baring those arms to the sunshine is the 1st step to getting a bit of colour on your skin and shaking off the winter knitwear. I chose a coral coloured top because I think it is the perfect combination of girly and classic without going too far with the pink. Also the dipped hem at the back is ideal for a fuller figured lady, as it hides what is definitely in my case, a rather voluptious derrière. Additionally, darker skinny jeans are much more flattering for a fuller figure as they hide any of your lumps and bumps.

To accessorize I have chosen a beautiful chunky coral bracelet to compliment the top above. As well as a white & gold stretch brooch ring & gold beaded hoop earrings. I have short hair so these are the perfect earring for me... but they might prove a bit annoying for somebody with long hair. To finish off the look I have opted for a simple, but classic white shoulder bag. Big enough to carry around during the day, but with long enough straps that it can sit comfortably on the shoulder as well as having the option to lengthen the straps and use it across the body. It's the perfect day bag. 

Spring Evening

Sticking with the coral theme I have gone for this Coral and Black skater dress. Its not too dressy but that is kind of the point. I like to keep my clothes as simple as possible so that I have the option of dressing it up with jewellery and other accessories. This dress can be paired with some black tights and these black patent Mary Jane style heels and you have a pretty, quirky evening look. Add so sparkly heart shaped earrings, a black & silver sparkly bracelet and a black patent & silver clutch to top it all off. 

I love these outfits because they can be dressed up or down depending on the look you're after. Coral is a big colour for me this year and I think pairing it with the lighter accessories during the day is perfect for that fresh spring style, while opting for the dark accessories in the evening really makes the transition from casual to dressy really easy and effortless. 

I have soooo many other items in my wishlist, so I'm going to make an effort to share this type of post with you on a weekly basis. 

If you are interested in finding more items like this then you can find these beautiful pieces and more at Yours Clothing. This is a fabulous site for plus sized females who, like myself often struggle to find pretty and flattering items on the high-street. They are very reasonably priced and even offer new customers a 20% discount on their first order over £20 so definitely give them a little visit. 

Take care lovelies. x
