Polka, Polka!


So I’m pretty much always in a dress. There are loads of variations in the type of dresses I wear, but one of my favourite patterns is the fabulous Polka Dot. I adore Polka dots and have many dresses of varying styles, colours, lengths, etc – all in Polka dot. It screams vintage to me and you know I love my vintage!

This gem was found while looking through the ASOS website for…..yes, dresses! The shape of this is cool with the zip at the front, and the little cute pockets. I’m not usually one for wearing anything without covering my arms, but this dress has just enough sleeve for me to feel comfortable.

It’s light, airy and perfect for this season.

With one of my ever trusted cardigans :)

Dress: ASOS
Cardigan: South (via Very)
Belt: Camden Market
Tights: Boots
Shoes: Next

Good length sleeves here - just enough for comfort if you don't like your upper arms

The pockets are super cute!

I wore this for my girl date with my great pal, Rosie. We headed to The Diner (I swear I spend most of my time there!), and we had burgers, lots of fries and a milkshake each; although they didn't have any Banana (I was beyond distraught!). Hanging out with one of my favourite people, in my new favourite polka dress - good times. :)


Hope you guys are well. 

Love and hugs,
Isha

Success

In the blogger world, success is often in reference to money or exposure. Often these two things go hand-in-hand, in that the more exposure you get the more you are in a position to ask to be paid for your work/ name/ face, etc. Blogging has become a business for many and an aspiration to even more, but are we being realistic? Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have ambition and to work and strive for a goal or goals, but I also think it's important to be realistic with those goals. There are so many factors that come into trying to make a blog a business. For example, bloggers whom have been able to make their blog their sole source of income are often white, slim/ slim passing, a small fat, able-bodied, cis gendered, and/ or with euro-centric beauty. There are of course other examples that correlate, but that's the starting point. Not every blogger is going to fall into that blueprint, nor should we, but unfortunately we have not yet reached a point where s

Like Royalty

The plus-size world of the vintage persuasions audibly exclaimed when Georgina Horne of Fuller Figure Fuller Bust , announced a range of fabulous dresses she had designed for  Lady Vintage London , called Lady Voluptuous . There are four styles in total with a variety of colours and patterns, and being a 50s bunny who practically lives in swing dresses, I immediately set eyes on the Cosette , particularly after seeing Lucia in it. WOW, right?! But there was another dress that was catching my eye.....enter, the Medusa. The Medusa is another 50s sensation, but a fitted design. I have been hoarding wiggle/ fitted dresses in one of my two wardrobes for a few months now and realised how much I loved my silhouette after wearing this 'out of comfort zone' dress. I'm naturally an incredibly curvy (I know many hate that term, but I know what I mean) woman, but I have often avoided dresses like this through fear of the VBO; but during my continued journey to self-love a

When a photo shoot is about more than just the pictures

There have been a few things that have made the last year and a bit, difficult. I have a life mantra: keep the legs pumping. This has been my life philosophy for as long as I can remember and it’s what has kept my head above water at the worst times. I am well aware that anything I might be going through is nothing in comparison to some others, so I have always tried to suppress whatever has been going on, believing that my “trivialities” were not worth worrying about or bugging other people with. It is only until very recently I have actually realised that my feelings are worthy of acknowledgment, that I have every right to be upset about things, and I was doing myself more damage by pretending I was ok when I wasn’t. I have Sian and a cluster of other wonderful friends to thank for this epiphany. They have no idea (until now, I guess) what their encouragement for me to feel what I was feeling and not feeling guilty about it, was ok, means – I’m so grateful to them fo
