Kingsley Kouture

Kingsley Kouture


I am such a big fan of novelty earring, something bright and fun can take an outfit to a whole new level. So when I was offered a collaboration with the lovely Kingsley Kouture I was so excited. She asked me what kind of style I would like and when I said anything big and bold she assured me she had just the stuff, and when my beautiful parcel arrived I can only say I was not disappointed.

Hell Bunny - May Day Dress Review

Hell Bunny - May Day Dress Review


Photography Hell Bunny-  by Dottie Photography
HMUA - Siobhan Drew
At the end of January my blog reached its 4 year anniversary, but with life being a bit crazy at the end of last year. I feel I've lost my way a little. So to kick off a new year I feel I need to start again, with something fresh and cheerful. After all this blog is all about things that make me smile, keeping me searching for silver linings and learning to turn things around when things are difficult. Because Summer is a state of mind, not just a season .....

Retuned Style - Meryl Dress Review

Retuned Style - Meryl Dress Review


People often ask me if I dress like this all the time, and honestly the answer is yes. I don't really feel comfortable in what people would call normal clothes. I have found a style that is me, that makes me feel good, happy and confident. However I do have different styles of dresses I wear for different occasions, some that are fancier, some that I can dress up or down and some that are comfortable for every day activities. This is where the 40's style tea dress comes in perfectly.

Elements Rainwear Factory Tour

Elements Rainwear Factory Tour


Ruby Raincoat
As much as I love travelling, I am also always very happy to return home. I am rather proud of my hometown Northampton. Like most places, people are happy to focus on all the negatives, but I am so impressed with the amount of beautiful stuff that is produced and created here. So while browsing through instagram one day I came across a little page, full of stunning raincoats that reminded me of one of my favourite films Singing in The Rain. To my delight, while at London Edge last year I got to meet Tasha from the Elements team and see the beautiful rainwear in person. I found out these raincoats were made in my hometown and before you know it, we had planned to collaborate on a blog post together, with me getting to have a tour of the factory and I couldn't wait to see how these beautiful pieces came to life.

Curvy Kate Body Positive Campaign - #MyBodyMyBFF

Curvy Kate Body Positive Campaign - #MyBodyMyBFF



If I'm honest, I aimed to have this post out a lot sooner, but as it happens this campaign has come at a time when my own mind is a little all over the place. Am I really the person who should be telling you about body positivity when I can be so cruel to my own? Don't get me wrong, in general I feel good in myself, I accept myself for who I am and usually I know I deserve love and everything everyone else deserves, but I can't pretend there are not days when I look at myself, or see a nasty comment from someone and for a moment believe every bad thing I possibly could about myself. Why do we do it? Why does the fact I am fat mean I should let my confidence be ripped apart. I would never want anyone else to be treated that way. Is this the type of person you want telling you about body confidence? Or maybe is this the point of body positivity? It is not as simple as believing you are perfect all the time, its about the journey, about learning to be nicer to yourself when you don't feel great, or whilst hearing nasty things. We would never dream of saying these cruel things to our friends, so why do we think it's okay to pull ourselves down this way?

Lucia Gingham Dress - Aida Zak Review

Lucia Gingham Dress - Aida Zak Review


I love Gingham, it reminds me of summer, of picnics and of fresh country farms. There is something so refreshing and cheerful about this print and I can't help but get excited when I see a dress made out of it. I have heard of Aida Zak through shopping with Collectif, but it was only while speaking to them myself that I realised just how much they do. Offering a clothing range inspired by classic icons such as Sofia Loren, I knew I would not find it hard to fall in love with them.

Lush Intergalactic Photoshoot with The Hourglass

Lush Intergalactic Photoshoot with The Hourglass


So a few months ago my two worlds collided as I had a chance of mixing my love of Lush with my love of Modelling. I have worked with The Hourglass By Nicole Klein a few times and I can honestly say she is one of my favourite photographers. I love how passionate she is about what she does, how she knows how to show a lady off at her best and how she gets as excited as I do when we dream up some crazy ideas. Nicole and I have talked about our love of Lush on many of our meetings, and once we decided that we would love to do a shoot around a Lush theme, we knew we had to make it something a little outrageous.

Noodle Ball Double Star Bracelet - ChloBo Jewellery Review

Noodle Ball Double Star Bracelet - ChloBo Jewellery Review



As Valentines fast approaches a lot of us will be thinking of all things sparkly, either to give to our loves or to receive ourselves.

This beautiful bracelet wasn't sent to me from an admirer unfortunately, but it was sent to me by the fabulous ChloBo, now let me tell you about this company and how special their jewellery is.

Voodoo Vixen Keira Dress - Simple Be

Voodoo Vixen Keira Dress - Simple Be


Summer may have come to an end, but that does not mean I will be packing my dresses away. I like to wear them all year through, and bring a little sunshine into every day. I love the large variety of styles dresses offer us, I love the fact that they can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion and I love the fact that dresses are a way to not only express how you feel but also help to set you into the mood/character you are trying to convey.

1950s Halterneck Blue Gingham Dress - Vivien of Holloway Review

1950s Halterneck Blue Gingham Dress - Vivien of Holloway Review


I wrote a blog last year while pregnant about how Vivien Of Holloway has influenced the woman I am today, How they had helped me grow from an awkward teenager to a happy confident woman, and how after my pregnancies I was devastated that I had lost that confidence. So here I am, a year after having my second son and finally enjoying dresses again. Though I could not be happier being a Mummy again, it is a little saddening that I don't fit into any of my old Vivien dresses now, so when a lovely blogger friend of mine She Might Be Loved was running a competition to win a Halterneck Swing Dress, I thought, I might as well give it a try!

Curvy Kate Star In A Bra Audition!

Curvy Kate Star In A Bra Audition!


I have struggled with my breasts for years, I have related them to feeling ugly and I have carried them with guilt for not being able to feed my children. It has only been in the recent months that I have learnt to love them, this has been made so much easier to do with companies like Curvy Kate, not only do they celebrate the larger figure but they also provide lingerie that offers great support and is actually beautiful too.

Bohemian Finds Live Window Display

Bohemian Finds Live Window Display


If you have read my blog before, you may have noticed I work with a store called Bohemian Finds every so often. For those who haven't, Bohemian Finds is a Northampton based shop specialising in vintage inspired clothing. They stock much loved pinup brands such as Voodoo Vixen, Hell Bunny, Banned Apparel, Collectif and more. I also love the fact there is a large array of sizes from 6 to 26. Me and Gretchen share a big love of vintage fashion and we both believe difference is something to be celebrated. So we wanted to collaborate on a Live Window Display to not only showcase the new summer collection, but to also let others know how beautiful they are too.

Bohemian Finds Photoshoot with Khandie Photography!

Bohemian Finds Photoshoot with Khandie Photography!


There have been two things in my life that have brought me confidence, One being pretty dresses and the other taking part in photoshoots. I have finally got to the stage of accepting myself for who I am. Our bodies may change, but we always have a right to feel beautiful and no one but ourselves have a right to judge. It is heartwarming to see so many people campaigning for body positivity, and seeing more stores show love and acceptance. No one can say you are to big or to small, our bodies are our own choices and if someone can not support that they have no right to comment on it.

Cherries On Madison Dress - Lady V London Review

Cherries On Madison Dress - Lady V London Review


What can bring a smile to your face more than a pretty dress and meeting lovely people. I was recently reminded of this while talking to a lady called Marie, who shares my love of dresses and who owns her own shop selling them. We talked about how dresses make us feel, how they can have big affect on our lives and of course we discussed some of our favourite brands. This led to her very kindly sending me a beautiful dress to review, and I can not wait to tell you about it.

Finding The Perfect Summer Dress For Your Beach Getaway - JD Williams Review

Finding The Perfect Summer Dress For Your Beach Getaway - JD Williams Review


I am a terrible dress addict, it is a very rare occasion you will see me not wearing one. I feel my best in a beautiful dress and I love that there are so many styles that I can wear them all year around. When it comes to finding the perfect dress for your beach getaway however, things can be a little tricky, You want something that is pretty, but also something that will still be comfortable to wear in the heat and of course won't get messy easily as you lay around the sand and take part in any water activities.

Tiffany Dress - Dolly and Dotty Review

Tiffany Dress - Dolly and Dotty Review


I have always wanted a red polka dot dress, but for some reason I have never owned one before. When I spotted this Dolly and Dotty Tiffany dress pop up on my screen, and on a nice little sale, I knew I had to make it mine. I have had a few Dolly and Dotty dresses, that had always been great quality so I didn't need much more convincing to buy that dress.

Sculptresse ChiChi Lingerie Set - Panache Review

Sculptresse ChiChi Lingerie Set - Panache Review


So my first experience of Sculptresse (Panaches curvy sister) has been pretty magical, I am feeling amazing in my new sets, and for the first in a long time, I am starting to enjoy lingerie again. I never imaged that at my size I would ever find a set that would be so pretty, and I never imagined that being proven wrong would make me feel so good.

Myleene Klass Stripe Skater Dress - Love The Sales

Myleene Klass Stripe Skater Dress - Love The Sales


I am afraid I am not the most up to date lady around, I couldn't tell you any celebrity gossip, I couldn't tell you who's in the charts (Is that still a thing?) and I couldn't tell you the latest fashion trends. I can, however, tell you about beautiful dresses, and I could talk to you about them until the cows come home. Finding the right dress can make you feel beautiful and confident.  I have so many people message me, telling me how they would love to wear 'That' dress but can't, but believe me, you can.
