New Day, New Navabi Purchase

With the January sales in full swing, I decided to do a little online shopping. Almost giving up hope in finding something I liked or in my size, I came across the Navabi sale.

Although hearing about this plus size store previously, I had yet to have a really good look on what was on offer. I fell in love with so many beautiful items! Some were a little out of my budget but then in the sale section, I come across this little gem. 

This faux leather and mesh dress is by Eloquii, another brand I liked. I love the simplicity of this dress but the fact that it still has a little edginess to it. With soft jersey material, I knew it was going to be comfortable. The main body of the dress is a faux leather material and as well as a mesh cut out to the back, it has a cheeky little mesh detail over the cleavage area, like a peephole. Ooh baby! Even the back gets some extra detail with a chunky zip that runs the length of the dress. I opted for the size 20 and it fit like a dream. 

I chose to keep my outfit simple for a more casual day time look. I paired the dress with some thick tights and chunky boots from Missguided

Have you been lucky in the sales this year or has it been a flop? Sometimes it takes a little searching off the high street to find a great piece X 

OOTD Forever 21 Striped Midi Dress

Last week I stumbled across the Forever 21 sale. I've not really found many things here in the past so was sceptical that this time would be any different. Then I came across this gorgeous midi dress that was the exact thing I had been looking for.

It's ribbed in material, something I've shied away from, worried it would be too clingy and make me look a bit lumpy. I was so pleasantly surprised that I've now purchased another ribbed item (will use it in a future post!). I wore this dress with some chunky boots from Boohoo and my other latest buy, my tassel backpack from New Look.

Round, Round Baby

The sun is out, the birds are singing and my hair is neon pink! 

Lastnight, dye in hand, I was all set to become a fire red. Life isn't that sweet to me at times so blessed me with a head of 80s pink instead. It seems with every hair change I have, so does my attitude to style. Today my outfit needed some polka dots. You'll also noticed I've gone full on crazy (just because I'm fat apparently I should never be seen wearing a crop top and/or VBO 'Gasp!') but not crazy because they are just clothes and I have fat.

This textured crop top is from Dorothy Perkins, the midi skirt is Simply Be and the boots are an EBay find. Glasses from Primark x

Shopping the Sales in Boohoo

Feeling either brave or stupid or just a bit of both, I ventured to my local shopping centre for a spot of sale shopping.

Blog post to follow with what I bought so here's what I wore. 

This is the Little Black Dress t shirt dress from the Boohoo Plus range, worn with a jacket from Boohoo that I have blogged about previously. This dress is just the comfiest thing. I feel like I'm wearing a nightshirt! Stretchy jersey, it's a go to piece whenever I lack enthusiasm to put together an outfit. Worn over Dorothy Perkins leggings and boots.

My Boxing Day OOTD

My posts have been on the thin side lately due to both lack of time and lack of enthusiasm. I love blogging, not just for expressing myself but for opportunities I've had, inspiration and meeting so many wonderful babes along the way. Today I woke up and actually wanted to blog, I haven't felt that for weeks!

So today, here is my Boxing Day outfit,

Yesterday, being Christmas Day and all, I found massively stressful. I have 3 kids, a husband and my mum to cook for and i put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself to achieve a high standard on the day, with little to no help. By the end of the day, I was exhausted. I think that's why I went with top to toe black today!

This gorgeous grid mesh dress is from Simply Be. I won a voucher for Simply Be at this years Plus North and this was what I used it for. It's amazingly comfy and fits like a glove. I kept it really simple with no added accessories as today was about visiting family yet still looking like I had made an effort without making much effort and being comfortable with it.

The boots were a Christmas gift and I'm unsure of the brand. The bag is an EBay find.

What a Winner!

This month I was super happy to of won an Instagram giveaway from the ultra cool brand Carnakoma (found Here) And what a prize!

An oversized shirt in slate grey leopard print that is long in length and dipped at the back. I was instantly in love. I teamed it with Yours Clothing Tummy control leggings, plastic chain necklace from Topshop and chunky boots from Primark. Perfect for a date night.

The shirt can be found Here x

looking Grrrrreat on Date Night

Talking of said anniversary, I thought I would show you what I wore on our date night.

I first spotted this gorgeous tiger print dress by Cutie on Simply Be early last year but missed my chance to get it and was no longer being stocked. Then by chance, I came across a website called Crazy Clearance. Here they sell discontinued Simply Be stock at a fraction of the cost. Plus, you can still use your Simply Be account to pay. Bonus!!

The tights I'm wearing are the best I've found in a long time. From Asda, 80 denier Super Matte tights They don't fall down, are nice and long and super matte and fit in all the right places. What's not to like?! My biker jacket is F+F and chunky boots are Primark.
