OOTW - Double Denim

There's always been a stigma about wearing double denim or denim on denim but as with any style or trend, it's all about how you wear it.  I love the grungy 90's look and my outfit of the week pairs an acid wash denim shirt with my light wash denim jacket.  I love my new bobble hat too (was actually my hubby's christmas present)!  Most of my outfit is either pieces from Primark or items given to me from my sis in law.  I love a good bargain and upcycling pieces that family or friends don't want anymore, it saves a fortune and also great for experimenting with different styles and trends.

Outfit of the Week

Bobble Hat - Primark

 Denim Jacket - Saltrock

Denim Shirt - Primark

Shorts - Primark

Hi-Tops - British Knights

Just a little note to say, hope everyone enjoys their NYE celebrations, I'll be curled up in front of the fire watching a film (very rock n roll).  Happy New Year to all!

British Plus Size Fashion Weekend

The British Plus Size Fashion weekend is back with a bang in 2014, following its success this year with its first event, next year is set to be even better.  This fabulous event celebrates confident and inspiring women of all shapes and sizes and I'm so glad I'm going to be covering such an amazing event.

The event takes place in London and includes four exclusive fashion shows and a marketplace so ladies can shop their shape, all ticket holders also receive 10% off at every store holder.  If you purchase an all day ticket, you also have access to the after party especially for you to dance the night away.

The founders Remi & Rianne said 'We are VERY excited to announce that the British Plus Size Fashion Weekend is back next year on the 14th & 15th Feb. This will be our second year after the huge success we had earlier this year with the very first British plus size weekend. Encouraging women of all sizes to feel great about fashion has never been more relevant and with several high street retailers finally accepting that they need to support the plus size market including Debenhams who last week announced they were introducing size 16 manikins into their stores!'

Lets continue to ENHANCE, EDUCATE and EMPOWER the plus size community

Merry Dressmas with Eucalyptus Clothing

I've been a very lucky lady just recently and had the pleasure of sampling some fabulous dresses just time in for Christmas party inspirations.  I came across this pretty brand whilst doing some freelance work and it is right up my street.  I am by no means a skinny girl and love dresses that flatter my curves, the new range at Eucalyptus does just that.  

The range 'Friday on my Mind' by Eucalyptus Clothing is a gorgeous blend pin up appeal and feminine, silky chiffons mix with cotton, lace and a touch of velvet accompanied by delicate but striking embroidery.  This range is perfect for upcoming parties and Christmas dinner events and each style compliments the wearer beautifully.  

The range has perfect little black dresses which come in prom and fitted shapes with beautiful lace details including back cut-outs. Red, one of the favourite colours for Christmas party wear, comes in various textures, prints and designs to suit every occasion, from the office party to a girls’ night out.

Other strong hues include purple, navy and pink with a splash of burnt orange, green and floral.

These affordable styles, ranging from £66 to £96, are just what every girl needs to dance the night away. 

My favourite dress from all the amazing samples was this gorgeous red polka dot dress, I've included some product pictures of the other dresses available as they were fabulous, unfortunately some of the other samples were a little small for me to show off properly.

The dresses are made with incredible quality and come in a variety of styles and designs.  There is definitely a style to suit everyone.  

Check out the website www.eucalyptusclothing.co.uk for the 'Friday on my Mind' range and all their other beautiful pieces on offer.  An amazing brand that brings out the inner glamour puss in you.
