I've gone through so many hair colours and cute in the last month, as you will see in the pictures, I started by getting an undercut, bleached it and toned it till it went to blonde, from blonde I went to lilac, then blue and finally shaved a little more off and dyed it back to black. These pictures show my favourite looks from my autumn collection. 

In the first photo I'm wearing head to toe New Look. The fedora hat and top are mens the rest are size 18 womens core range. 

My dress in my second photo is from george at asda. Super comfy and a lovely pattern for this time of year, the little chelsea boots are also from Asda, and no words can describe how soft they are inside!

My third photo shows my £5 sale bargain light wash denim jeans, which I altered myself. Creating a more distressed look. They also fit like boyfriend mom jeans so I was happy to wear them with a cropped halterneck top. Again, finishing it with my fedora hat.

My next outfit was my interview outfit! I recently went to an interview to progress my my career further in New Look, I decided to wear my distressed jeans, new logo top and a statement necklace. Let's not forget my beautiful duster coat which gave such a nice formal twist. 

My final outfit was all black. My wardrobe seems to be getting a little dark, but I really don't regret that. I love black! Halter cropped top and skater skirt. Simple but cute!

Metallic madness! I AM IN LOVE WITH Primark's false nails. They only cost £1 and are great for  a night out. I tend to use a more expensive nail glue, which last so much longer. They sell seasonal colours and all year round they have basic colours like red, black or french manicure finishes. I stocked up on about 12 packs of these silver and gold metallic nails! They give such a high fashion look. Second to these I'd advise the 100 pack of plain nails, they're awesome to paint them with any colour.

So I have a few belated posts of my favourite hauls! This is a must that I had to share. I bought the two river island tank tops a couple of months ago (I have a feeling they're in the sale now). I teamed both up with my Topshop white mesh pencil skirt. I love the high neck of the tops, great for the flat chested! And the clear print. I'm such a big fan of Mean Girls so the white tank was an extra special favourite of mine.

As you can see I've tried to pair up the tops with quite a formal finish, but I mostly just wear them both with peg leg trousers or ripped jeans! Would highly recommend a black and white tank this autumn/winter!

Fruity

Can we please please please just take a second to appreciate how adorable watermelon clothing/accessories are this summer? I went a little mad in Brighton's H&M. I bought the cutest crop top and canvas bucket bag! I was tempted to wear red lipstick but I wanted all attention on the top! I wore this to the cinema to see Maleficent (which may I add is amazing). I've also given my extensions the snip to give my hair just a fuller healthier look. Bye bye fake looking long hair! I will be posting about the extension war I seem to fight with myself daily! I only really wear them on days off and nights out. 

I finally gave my Kelly Brook nail polish a go, which went really well with the greens in the top and bag. The pencil skirt seems boring but I wanted to dull it out a bit. The top is also very very cropped so I needed a bottom piece that came up quite high on my body. Enjoy ladies! This shall be the last from me till my birthday!

Parrot fenzie.

I'm aware I have started sounding crazy towards anything remotely tropical looking. It can't be helped. I used to be so scared of print, my wardrobe was once so so boring. Now? You need sunglasses, it's all a bit much but for the better. So another work outfit became another favourite. This is my parrot co ord. I've been after this two piece for so long and finally got my hands on it when I went to the Brighton New Look. The shorts are quite short so I do recommend going up a size so they are loose fitting on the legs. So I wasn't all out I paired it up with my wonderful trusted inspire coral blazer. Perfect for a lazy day. 

As you'll be able to see in picture two, I had a bit of a spend up in Brighton. That was one of the looks I purchased, including Kelly Brook mascara, Kelly Brook lime green nail polish and the cutest long necklace. Definitely worth a try.

I've been drankin' watermelon.

It's time to own up to my current obsession. WATERMELONS!  Again this whole outfit is from New Look which was perfect as I could wear it to work. As you can probably tell I have a think for co ords now. I can't get enough of them! The bigger and bolder the print the better! Especially when it's covered in watermelons. Although I probably started to resemble a Hawaiian holiday rep, I really don't care! I felt happy and confident in this piece. Again I did not accessorise this look as I think the print was enough. I did however add some more red with my wonderful Mac 'ruby woo' lipstick. Hope you like it! Remember do not be afraid of slim fitting clothes, bold prints and two pieces!

Tropical co-ord

 Ola ladies! It's been a while but I seem to now have a backlog of wonderful outfits I want to share with you. I shall begin with this beautiful co-ord. I must admit that when I was first looking into buying one I was worried how fitted it would look on me, but I simply went up a size on the skirt so it skimmed my tummy, and down a size on the top to nip me in at the waist. Highly recommend it to anyone with a shapely body. 

I did however, wear this to Brighton for the day so I paired it up with a lightweight cardigan just incase it got a little chilly. I went for a close pink as you see in the print, just to lighten the look. I kept to neutral makeup. I used my absolute favourite nude Mac lipstick, 'kinda sexy'.  I didn't accessories the outfit at all, the print says enough. 

Don't be scared of showing some skin!

Hello beautiful ladies... today's post isn't really to do with fashion or clothes, more so what's beneath. I'm doing my best to spread a little body positivity to as many curvy ladies as possible. It's summer again and of course all you see everywhere in magazines is 'bikini bods' 'summer body diets' '7days to look great for summer'. Well here's the thing, you already look good. Do not let the media and judgemental society dictate as to whether you're ready to wear a bloody bikini. I'm sick to death of it. Why is it we only get complimented and acknowledged for losing weight, or changing our image? Why are we not supporting one another and congratulating them on feeling good in their own skin? It's appalling. 

We're constantly slating each other without even realising it. I work in a clothes shop and I'm continuously deafened with the usual comments about larger sized clothes by customers. "oh look at the size of that!" "I'd hate to be that fat" "I'd be depressed if I were that size" Well I appreciate they may be smaller, but bigger girls need bigger clothes. FACT. 

A positive mindset isn't easy to find. It took me years to like myself. I hated every inch of me from the age of 12. I'm 21 now and I can safely say in the last few months I'm finally where I want to be. It's not easy to ignore the criticisms of the world, but once you've realised that the only persons opinions on your own body you need to listen to are yours then, ladies, you will be there.

The media thrives off our insecurities, making billions on products and advertisements in products we bully ourselves into buying. Media telling us we need to get thinner, telling us it's not ok to age, it's not ok to have cellulite. Well I say screw them. Screw their opinions, screw their false statements. You are you. You have one body, one life, so are you going to spend your life worrying about how someone will perceive you in a bikini or are you going to put that bikini on, smile and think to yourself wow, I look so fabulous? 

Think ladies, if people are that low in judging you for your size then clearly they can't be happy in their own skin. Pitty them, show them how amazing you are and how beautiful you know you can be. This may have sounded like a rant but it's not, I am happy, I have flaws, but physically I couldn't care less about the flaws. I'll use this time making myself a better person, not attempting to fill a forever empty void that is vanity. I have a beautiful body. If you think different then keep it to yourself because quite frankly I'm too busy smiling to listen. 

So lets join the beauty movement. Let's all feel fabulous.

Vogue

Hey the fabulous plus size ladies, I'm quite excited to share this outfit as I've only just finished getting it all together. I've had it in my mind for so so long. Depending on the weather it's a great outfit to be finished with a colour block blazer, however I chose to keep it clean cut and simple. So now the entire focus on the Vogue tshirt. I paired it up with some ripped boyfriend jeans (my favourites), strappy heels and some fierce lipstick. My frame is top heavy but I really couldn't care less! I love vogue and white t's. So here I am. Enjoy!

Tropical Madness

An everyday outfit that I kind of fell in love with. I'm head to toe New Look (surprise surprise). Starting from the top I'm wearing the cutest willy wonka style sunglasses. My tshirt is actually from the mens department, it couldn't be helped it was too cute! My adorable orange fruit slice clutch bag. I'm wearing my boyfriend ripped jeans which I gave a summer twist to by rolling up the legs twice to give them a cropped look. I then finished the look by painting my toe nails the same colour as my bag! And by showing them off in these fabulous wide fit block heeled shoes. I feel so summery in this outfit, it's practical but fun! Bellow are links to most my outfit. Some items have sold out already.

The intro

Hello and welcome all, my name is Tania, I'm 21 and work at New Look. I live and breathe fashion and makeup there for I thought it was about time I created my own blog. This blog is not for just anyone, this blog is aimed for us plus size women. I really do think there is such a barrier between plus size and 'normal' fashion. My little plan is to help and educate you plus size beauties how to dress fashionably, beautifully, and sexily all at affordable prices. I want to state here and now that I am not good at writing however I will do my best to put across what goes through my chaotic mind as best as I can. This blog will be filled with my outfits, new buys and any beauty or fashion tips I come across!
I've always felt I couldn't dress well all because I was a little bigger, but I've realised you can. I'm a size 16-20 I have an awkward shape. (non hourglass figure) I have overly large feet (SIZE 9) I'm not big busted or blessed with a bootylicious booty, but I do have lovely legs that I like to flaunt. So do enjoy my posts and recommendations! For now that is all, ciao!
