Simple Summer Dress


I really have struck gold this summer, with the dresses I have found tucked away in my wardrobe and perfect for this time of year. I bought this one a few years ago and had worn only once before. I wore this for an early dinner with a friend and some chatting in a nearby park. The print is really cute and simple:

Dress: Dorothy Perkins
Belt: Primark
Cardigan: South (via Very)
Sunglasses: Camden Market
Sandals: Marks & Spencer

I’ve also been lucky enough to have some time off from work. A week (and a bit) really does fly by when you’re running around the gorgeous city. I’ve been to four exhibitions, caught up with friends, partook in a little shopping and most excitedly, had a photoshoot! I’ll dedicate an entire post to the photoshoot as I have so much to say and gush about, but I had a brilliant time and can’t wait to show you the pictures!

I hope you’re all well and enjoying the last day of the weekend. ‘til next time.


Love and hugs,
Isha

      That was the thing that convinced me to buy it - the yellow butterflies just brought the rest of the colours out. :) x

      It really is. I love that it's so simple, with a great cut and can probably be dressed up, too. :) x

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
