Asos sale part 2
Jumpsuits
I am fully converted to a jumpsuit lover, i never really appreciated them before last summer, I always thought they never look good on me just did not get the whole fascination about them to tell you the truth. well not no more I love a jump suit that you can just throw on to go to work with a nice pair of flats or in the summer sandals. I also no see why jumpsuits are a great evening wear with a pair of killer heels.
i found nine jumpsuits that are currently in the asos curve sale collection.
This Asos exclusive pleat front jumpsuit comes in two different colours black and blue. I actually like the blue better just because the colour is more vibrant you would not have to dress the outfit up I would just use basic accessories with the blue. With the black I would add more accessories just to add another layer to the outfit. I would also wear different colour shoes with the jumpsuit sometimes black on black is a little to much. Remember I say you don't want to get lost with the outfit. The Blue jumpsuit is currently priced at £20 and the black is on sale for £35 both was originally priced at £50.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this playsuit, these type of playsuits are a must have in your summer collection. I bought one last summer from Primark and it was the item of clothing I bought that summer, I wore it on holiday with a nice pair of wedges and when I came back I was wearing it with flat gold sandals. This playsuit omg has the wow factor for me. Everyone got parts of the bodies that they don't like mine happens to be my arm just the sleeves alone have me screaming. The picture does not show that the back of the playsuit its cut into a v shape. The model in the picture is wearing it with chunky wedges a pair of flat sandals with look just as good. This play suit is currently priced at £21 was £35.
This Asos Exclusive party playsuit with lace. Is currently on sale for £16 was £40. I do like this playsuit but I don't love it. For me I would buy it to have as a back up outfit because I would be able to make it work. For a night out I would wear it with tights and black ankle boots. This playsuit would defo need dressing up as it a bit boring on its own even through it has the lace detail and bow front for me personally its needs something more.
Asos curve Leaf prink playsuit is currently on sale for £17.50 was £35. I really like the detail of this playsuit front and back also the long slash sleeve just adds to it. this is great playsuit to have your wardrobe.

CRAZY ASOS SALE Part One
So today I had planned to post about a designer my friend introduce me to, but I am going to postpone it to show you some fabulous items from the Asos sale. I thought I would take a look earlier on the Asos curve range and saw that their was only 58 items, so I was getting ready to write a formal letter of compliant arguing that their is no choice and the curve range needs to be regularly updated. Luckily before I had a moan I looked on their Asos curve range sale and I am a happy bunny again they have 158 items on sale and I must say their are some great bargains to be had I can see my self getting carried away. So ladies here are just some of my favourite items and what’s on my personal wish list. Hope you enjoy xxxxxxxxxx

I've been watching this Bodycon dress with chiffon sleeves for a couple of months now I am happy it has gone down in the sale. This dress is £24.50 was originally 35.
I am in love with bodycon dress at the moment I feel that if you’re like me and don't like your stomach area these dress do help to act as a stomach support. The thing with the dress is that I like it but never loved it maybe it was the sleeves for me but I just could not but my finger on it, it was not a wow factor dress for me, don’t get me wrong it’s a lovely dress but there was something missing. This is a good party dress or going for a birthday dinner for example. I would brighten this dress up just to give a little more of an edge to it. I would team it with big chunky bangles I would not wear a necklace for me it’s not really needed I but wear like button type earrings. I would team it with shoes like this one below from new look just make a little bit more funky. yes at first glance it don't go but i am loving mixing and matching at the moment trust me they will look perfect.
This Lace dress with high neck is currently on sale for £22.50 from £45.00 I call this my multi-purpose dress. I love this shade of blue, so yes the times are hard and we need think of the best way to spend our money. So I found this for you, so your going out for a friends birthday need a dress to wear you buys this one, you may wear it a nice pair killer heels just to jazz it up. a month or so later you feel like some new work dresses but can't afford new clothes at the moment you come across this lovely blue dress in your wardrobe not been worn since you went out and think maybe i can wear it to work. Well yes you can just wear it with a nice pair of flats. Ladies please look at new look for their flats shoes so many different styles and colours at a friction of the price.
I really love this red cocktail dress with corsage shoulder and I loving the price sorry its not often I see clothes for plus sizes on such a big sale it’s like I am in heaven at the moment. Ladies this dress is currently on sale for £22.00 was £65.00 remember the summer is coming up maybe one to buy and put down. I am totally in love with this dress.
So this it for today hopefully by Monday I will be posting Asos sale part 2 & 3.
Love to you all.

My lovely outfit
So I was in love with my Christmas work party outfit so I thought I share it with you all.
If I do say so myself I look rather good (Nothing like self praise) this a totally winning outfit for me I felt stylish, and confident nothing beats that feeling.
Where do I start with this outfit I think with the Blazer.
I am not normally one for such bright show full colours but I am getting into them at the moment, this orange blazer is from Primark price £21 sizes 8-20, I been looking for a nice blazer for ages just could not find one I love the way it shouts style as my little brother says its got swagger lol. Well worth my money. I teamed it with a black lace dress.
The dress is from Asos and was on sell when I bought it for £25 and again I LOVE IT, its was for me a very simple dress which I was looking for, for my work party I was questioning what to wear because I did not want to be under or over dressed I was trying to find a balance between the two.
Ok ladies do you like my pink platform shoes they are from New look for £19.99 it was a blooming Burgin I normally where heels for a little while then change into flats I was surprised of how comfortable these shoes where. I lasted the whole night. Well done me.
As a whole I feel the different colours I choose to wear blended in well, hope you all agree, what I did do is painted my nails half orange and pink just to blend my jacket and shoes in, I also wore gold accessories.
I give my self 9/10 always room for improvements.

To Fat For Fashion
I was reading Elle magazine issue December 2011 and I came across an article on page 183 “To fat for Fashion” and it got me thinking is their particular size, weight that is to “fat for fashion” it’s a serious issue to think about.
Before I use to think personally I was to big for fashion, down to many reason mostly my confidence level and what was portrayed to me from the fashion industry. I always tried to second guess what other people would say of what I was wearing I guess I use to dress for them instead of me, which was a big mistake. I also had this big fear of walking into a shop and finding nothing that would fit me, I just use to think what’s the point. Even if the clothing did fit I would still not be happy I guess It to took me to say hey you now what I love what I am wearing and I look good, that may sound a bit self absorb but really its not. If we constantly wait for approval from others then we won’t get anywhere.
I said this before that fashion designers have a greater responsibility then just selling clothing. They need to see more then £££ signs. I get highly frustrated that plus size are still being highly ignored by the fashion industry. I feel most designers are missing the point that in the UK the average size woman is a size 16 but the question I have are this designers even taking this into consideration?
If you ask me is their a particular size that is to fat for fashion then I would have to say NO, we need to separate fashion from health. I feel this is where the industry is getting confused because we hear all these reports on obese Briton that we are a unhealthy nation that being a certain size and weight is unhealthy and it don't look nice. I am not going to get into that right know. What I am going to say is material does not come with a weight restriction so the only possible answer I can give is NO.
I agree with Caryn Frankin, she says “ the fashion industry uses catwalk models to promote their clothes, to press and buyers, but forget that nowadays everyone see the look (buy into the look)and with implicates pointers about body, this all has an effect on female self-esteem” she goes on to say the reason for this is “ the bigger picture is that designers aren’t graduating from college with the knowledge of how to design for realistically shaped bodies they aren’t conscious of their responsibilities to showcase fashion on a broader range of bodies” for me its like they are being taught this shape, and size sells. I think all new fashion designers should made to have a wide range portfolio show that they can make fashion for me then someone who is a size zero.

Hey all,
Hope 2012 so far has been good for you all; it’s a bit late but HAPPY NEW YEAR. I seem of late to be always starting this blog with me apologising for the lack of blogging I am sorry for this I seemed to have lost my focus but I am back.
So at the ending of last year I said I am going to be opening up my blog for fashion for all not only concentrating on fashion for plus sizes. I think this is where I started to lose interest init, simply because I was listening to other people saying that I should open it for all sizes, I them that they felt I could offer something to everyone but for me personally I lost the love of the blog when I did it, for me this blog was more then just fashion blog it was and is to show plus size ladies yes you can look stylish, sexy and confident, that to be confident with their bodies. I feel that moving away from that is not something that I want to do. I love my smaller ladies and I love fashion for them as well but I am going to back to fashion for plus sizes. Hope you all understand
What’s new in the life of ME.
So I am planning on taking up a sewing course, I will love to be able to make my own clothes, I have so many ideas of what I want to wear, how I want it to fit that I need to learn how to make my ideas come to life. So please watch this space.
So I am thinking of becoming a personal stylist, I been thinking about for a while but never really fully believed that I could do it, I get really nervous putting outfits together for people but I love the feeling when that person gets excited in what I have chosen. I think for me this is my true passion. Its like you have a idea to start with and then you get a finished product. So finger cross it all works out. This is the year of God promise so let’s go out and put our best foot forward.
