EVERYDAY Is Special - She Came From Outta Space

In a land far, far away, the wonderful people at Simply Be and LOOK Magazine made a dress. A dress that would transcend all galaxies, a dress that would be so gorgeous it would have the ability to have people stop those who wore it, in the street, to ask where in the world it was from; that dress is the Bardot Printed Prom Dress.

OK, slightly dramatic opening, but I was indeed stopped on many occasions while wearing this dress - even a gentleman who wanted to buy it for his wife (clearly a good husband with excellent taste!). I talked about the collaboration in an earlier post and how Simply Be and LOOK were kind enough to gift us an item of our choosing from their debut range. I of course went for this dress and I'm so in love with it. I was going to save this for a really snazzy occasion but if you know about my 'EVERYDAY Is Special' series, I figured I'd wear it for burger eating funtimes - a pretty good excuse if you ask me!

Dress: Simply Be (gifted)

Cardigan: South (via Very)

Shoes: Simply Be

I love how LOOK and Simply Be have harked back to the 50s with this dress. The fitted bodice and full skirt is very 50s vintage and being someone who is in love with all things 40s and 50s, this is was indeed a highlight. How can you not love this print?! I often feel like my head is up in the clouds, so a galaxy print is the perfect compliment to my fairytale mind - a classic, modern dress of dreams.

The amazing print

Incidentally, LOOK and Simply Be recently launched their second collaborative range and you can view and shop the items now - prepare to do some serious swooning!

Oh, and did you notice the new hurrrr? Well a blog post about it is pending....

'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
