Hi guys! I hope you’re all well and enjoying this sudden sunshine we are experiencing of late.

I had a four day weekend to enjoy and on Friday, I met up with the lovely Charlotte and we heading to one of our favourite places to go – Shoredtich. I love the street art there and I always seem to find somewhere new to explore and find other wonders. It was thankfully a dry day so we took the opportunity to take some outfit pictures next to some cool art.
This dress is from Simply Be and I love it. If you read my Dress in Bloom post, I talked about putting a load of items into my virtual shopping bag before stripping it back to my favourites, and this was another of those items. It’s the print and the scooped hem that does it for me, the birds are such gorgeously bright colours against the darkness of the blue, and it works so well. I had this outfit in mind for summer but I think this looks great with a pair of leggings and ankle boots.
Dress: Simply Be
Cardigan & Leggings: South (via Very)
Bag: Paperchase
Boots: Boohoo
The other thing I love about this dress is how incredibly well it fits my waist. I have bemoaned countless times about how frustrating it is for me to find dresses that fit my small waist, but this dress fits like a glove. It hugs my waist really well while still allowing just enough room for my relatively large bust. 
Great for my waist and a close up of the lovely print

It was such a fun day and Charlotte as you can see can take a fine picture. I’m thrilled with these and look forward to many more adventures with her.


‘til next time.

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
