Simply Be....decadent: A celebration of Simply Be's collaboration with LOOK Magazine

When I had an email ping into my Inbox from Simply Be inviting me to a celebratory dinner, I couldn't type fast enough to RSVP! It felt like I was in a cool secret society as we were asked to kept the details to ourselves before the official launch, and I along with everyone else was simply bursting to find out what it was all about.

The news broke that Simply Be's latest collaboration was with LOOK Magazine and that the collection was online and ready for purchasing! I couldn't wait to click the link to see what was on offer and I wasn't disappointed.

The collection is 14 items in total and to me, it's the perfect balance between the bloom trend, and classic and timeless pieces you can wear all year round. Here are some pieces that stand out for me (All collection images ©SimplyBe):

LOOK Floral Print Jumpsuit
LOOK Biker Jacket
LOOK Print Midi Skirt
LOOK Printed Bomber Jacket

As you can see, there are many items to fawn over so the dinner couldn't come fast enough! It was held at the very snazzy restaurant, Balthazar and the meal was just as stunning as the table:
There was a small group of bloggers and the atmosphere was lovely. I had an absolute ball and we indulged in good food, fine wine (I had a little too much wine :/) and great conversation.

We were all so lucky because another wonderful thing to happen that evening was that Simply Be and LOOK Magazine gave us all a pick from the collection, to be gifted. I was so overwhelmed by the gesture and it will come as no surprise that being the vintage vixen that I am, I swooned over the utterly gorgeous Bardot dress:
LOOK Bardot Printed Prom Dress

I'm can't wait to wear this beautiful galaxy print, 50's inspired dress. There has been a surge in 50's inspired dresses by Simply Be and their affiliates, and this is another to add to the collection (and to my ever bulging wardrobe). I will of course be sure to blog about it once I've worn it, but you can shop the entire collection here. 

It was such a decadent evening and I'd like to thank both Simply Be and LOOK Magazine for the evening and also for the stunning collection. 

'til next time. 


Love and hugs,

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

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
