Sorento at sunset with Want That Trend

I wasn't going to post about my time at this years Curve Fashion Festival as I attended for leisure over blogging purposes but if there's one thing I did want to share is that I finally laid my hands on the ultimate dress. 

  

Want That Trend caters from sizes 16 to 32 (in selected sizes) and as soon as I saw this beauty hanging up, I knew I had to have it! I was extremely fortunate to be gifted this wonderful dress. I opted for a size 20, although it fit very well, I would recommend to size up. 

 

 

The dress is stretchy and has plenty of boob room on the top. A little too much for me as I struggled to keep the wrap top from gaping as its cut very low. Nothing a cute pin or a vest underneath wouldn't fix though. 

I love the full length sleeves and the dress length was just perfect on my 5'4 frame. I can't wait to wear this over the festive period. You can find this dress

Lorraine Loves...

This week the new Lorraine Loves collection is launched on JDwilliams and I was lucky enough to choose an item from the collection.

Designed by Lorraine Kelly, the new ambassador for JDWilliams, the collection boasts a selection of pieces that are both in trend, plus size and affordable. When I first heard of the collection, I was unsure if there would be anything I would personally choose myself as it is aimed for the over 50's and was pleasantly surprised as there were some lovely items, including a gorgeous PU sleeved biker coat and a spotted wrap dress.

Right now I'm in to bold colours. The more in your face, the better. So I chose this wonderful cobalt blue body con dress by Joanna Hope. 

I love how the waistband really draws my waist in and being a body con dress, there's always need of good shapewear, with this dress I went without any as it just sat so well. 

I also really love the square neckline and the ribbed effect of the material.
