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.

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.

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.

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.

Sculptresse Deedee Lingerie Set - Panache Review

Sculptresse Deedee Lingerie Set - Panache Review


For some reason Bras are like a right of passage in a womans life. Getting your first one felt like you had finally grown up, and finding the right set makes you feel like you can take on the world. There used to be a time, however, when lingerie shopping depressed me. I hated being marched around stores, poked and prodded, and hearing the umms and arrs by shop ladies who didn't have much stock in my size. Lingerie shopping was just something that had to be done, not something that would be enjoyed, but oh how things have changed.

Plain Sailing Swimwear - Curvy Kate Review

Plain Sailing Swimwear - Curvy Kate Review


When it came to booking my first holiday since having my second son, my first thought was not of a relaxing holiday, but of what this would mean for my wardrobe. We decided on a trip to Benidorm in Spain. Although the weather was not blisteringly hot, I knew it would be time to bring out the swimwear and take a splash. After having a baby it's really hard to find clothes that feel right for your new mummy body, but having to find a swimming costume that would show off every little curve, can be a little daunting.

Perfect Princess Bridals Plus-Size Catwalk

Perfect Princess Bridals Plus-Size Catwalk


When I got married my confidence was not in the best place, I had been through a traumatic birth, I had gone from a size 14 to 18 and I struggled to control my anxiety enough to even leave the house. So much had changed over the years of getting engaged and having a child and I felt lost and unimportant. So when it came to shopping for my wedding dress, I felt scared of drawing attention to myself and ridiculous at the notion that I could be beautiful.
