English plus size industry

I am going to have a quick rant. The English plus size industry is so frustrating to that I have no words. It’s become apparent that they regard us as non important. In saying that maybe we are to blame ourselves, in America they see the plus industry as vital part of any industry. I am baffled that we don't have many great designers like America and sites that offer information to plus size people. Sorry for my moan but its just plays heavily on me that I can find abundant American designer catering for plus sizes compared to the UK. The thing I love most about America is they use real plus size women to model their products. Anyway this is all giving me food for thought.

Hope you all have a good weekend and I will try and post ASOS sale part 3 over the weekend.

Love to you all. xoxoxox

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

Dresses

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.

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.

Personal Note

Hey all,

So I thought I sit down and right a few lines about me and my fashion.

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you, to all those that have viewed this blog it does mean allot.

At the start of doing this blog I really wanted curvier ladies (what the industry call plus sizes) to feel great in their clothing, to feel like they are the most stunning person in the room, this why I said fashion for me is more then clothing we wear. Being a plus size my self I have struggled in the past to find my FASHION SENSE. and I thank God that I am in a place where I am like I don't care what others think, this is me, basically take me as I am or keep on going. I feel that this is a vital place for all women to get to. Sometimes we listen to friends, family, outside influences, and media before we take time to listen to our self. This personally is the biggest mistake any of us can make.

I love fashion from internal to exterior fashion, but what I love the most is wearing clothing that in the past I would stay clear I use to dress to be hidden. I just thought that dress would not suit me but I feel that because (not sure how to word where I am coming from here) I have this comfort ability with my self as a whole I am allowing my self to have my own fashion style to experiment with colours, and to basically be my self. It’s allowing me to show who I am.

People have said that I am stylish that they can never find clothes that fit how do I. theirs is a simple answer for this   I Dress for ME this may sound like the obvious answer but many of us that do this. Always find what suits you and your bodyshape don't compare you’re self to the next person because you will just enter into a cycle that is hard to break. Look for colours that compliment you skin tone. if your not totally confident in the clothing no matter how stunning the outfit/shoes are to others this will show and this is when people say o she should not have worn that or that don’t look right.

Final words for today just find out what your individual styles is and continue to build on them.

Love
Shariffa

Christmas Party outfits

Hey ladies, its that time of year again when we start to look for outfits for the festive season. December is allways a busy month and we want to look our best no matter the occasion. We have work parties, get together with friends, family parties, christmas day, and new years eve/day to get ready for. I have found some really nice party pieces from Asos. today i will be post for my lovely curver ladies. hope you enjoy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please note Asos cure range is from 20-26 but I would say if you a size 18 still take a look because some of the stuff is a just fit and I have found that their is not much difference in a size 18 and 20.

Ladies ladies ladies I am absolutely in love with this top yes I am, it’s a Jersey top with dip back. Where do I start with this top, the coral colour just jumps out for me, its one of those statement colours. This top allows for you to be causal but sheek at the same time. The exaggerated dip allows for you to less attention of you bum and thigh area. I would wear it black skinny jeans or black jeggings. As with the model in the picture I would wear it with ankle boots but I would look for ones with a bit of a detail maybe a studded pair. defo would wear big chunky bracelet and ring just to add to the whole affect.
This top is currently priced at £25 from Asos they also sell this top in black. sizes 20-26

So normally I am not a fan of the tutu dress, I think for me they don't really suit my body shape, or maybe I have not found one that I totally fall in love with. this is a stunning dress let me not take this away from but I would say with such a statement dress be careful that you don't get lost in the dress, meaning don't let it wear you. With this dress I would wear with platform black heels, or even peep toe platform heels. For me wedges are a defo NO GO with this dress. I would team it with a cream/black clutch bad with simple cream accessorises.
This dress is £70 sizes 20-26 from Asos

I must admit this lace dress with mesh skirt, did have me looking twice, I actually like the way the top of this dress is fitted and then the mesh skirt flares out a bit, again this dress is one that I would have to see on before I am totally sold on it, for the simple reason of I am not sure how well it would suit someone that is more curvier in the hip area, because it will flare up around the waste. with this dress I would wear it with Gold accessorises and for this dress I personally feel again only black shoes will go perfectly but I would say match your accessories with the shoes, previously Dorothy Perkins had shoes with a gold design on the heel. This would look great with this dress. (I will be doing a shoe article on Wednesday) this dress is £60 from Asos.

This collar dress with scallop detail is a great dress for the end of year work meal/party. It is a simple dress but with great detail. I am really getting into dress with a fitted waist for me I feel that it dress brings everything in and help to define your shape more. This dress is priced at £40.

Right so I am in love with this red cocktail dress with corsage shoulder. I don't feel the picture does this dress and justice to tell you the truth. I think this is a stunning dress. the red just pops out and it has that wow factor at the moment I have been seeing allot of bright colours clothing being worn with bright shoes for me with this dress I would keep it simple and wear it with black shoes just because the dress does the speaking for its self. I absolutely love it I really do; I can see my self wearing this to a New Years Eve party for example with my hair pinned up and a pair of simple stud’s earrings. This dress is £65.

So I have actually been looking on this green dress for a while. I love the spilt sleeve, and at the back of the dress its slash. but their something about this dress I can't put my finger on why I don't love it, by rights I should adore it but I just can't see me in the dress maybe its the green colour, but again its a stunning dress. This dress would be great to wear to the work party, meeting up with friends for a meal. The price of this dress is £35

Ladies I bought this bodycon dress with bow front and I am in LOVE with it, yes by all means it’s a simple dress. But I would defo dress it up, with bold accessorises. This dress is £25. Ladies I would say get the next size up if your conscious of fitted clothes, I got it in a size 20 and I am normally wear size 18 but I feel more comfortable in this dress from getting the next size up.

Jackets

Asos

I am going to start with the sizes 6-18 ranges

Here is a prime example of a jacket that is overly priced for which reason I don’t know sorry for me if I am going to pay £200 I would want a jacket to fit perfectly I mean perfectly that jacket should look like it was made for me. I just don’t see how this Penfield down filled shearing collar jacket does that. To me this jacket just looks like any other puffer jacket nothing, nothing less. A jacket is a vital part of anyone wardrobe and this jacket for if I had to mark just on looks and price alone I would give in 3.5 out of ten.

I actually love parka jackets always have this parka is made by warehouse, I do like this parka maybe because I think it fits the model well, I think this type jacket is good because it will wear well with all clothing in your wardrobe, from party pieces to work clothes. This jacket priced at £80.

Vila vintage style belted coat I actually really love this jacket yes it’s a statement piece but for me it also has that wow factor. If I had to I would mark this jacket 8/10. I am absolutely in love with it.

For my curvy ladies, I am fully aware that finding a jacket that is nice, that fit well and makes you feel super comfortable is hard at times just because the jackets that are on offer mostly black , blue, grey, and sometimes white and they tend to just look like a rain cover. I am hearing you say I want a fitted jacket. Well just look at these 3 beauties that I have found in the ASOS curve range sizes in this range is 20-26 but I would say for the ladies that are size 18 please still take a look because as we are all aware with jackets a lot come up smaller the size printed.

This chestnut fit and flare coat is £90 but I would happily spend this money on a jacket like this, to me the jacket looks like it will fit and look great on all sizes and shapes, I am loving this wide belt with the jacket I am not normally a fan of jackets with belts but this one works so well. If I was to mark it I will defo give it 10/10 with no question of doubt.

ASOS curve belted quilted coat £80 I like this jacket I am just not in love with it, maybe because I tend not to but or look at quilted/puff jackets just because I don’t feel it suits me. I can’t say anything bad or good for this jacket because it’s just a ok jacket for me.

This Asos curve Oviod coat in black and orange, this is defo a wow factor jacket I must admit I am very much tempted by it, for me personally I would not use this jacket as my everyday jacket I will leave it for when I am going out or special occasions just because it has that wow factor for me. this jacket is currently on sale for £80 was a £100

personal note

So at the moment I am into all shades of browns, yellows, and oranges maybe because we are in November and the weather is still good well its not snowing so I am refusing to sort through my winter wardrobe just yet. I am also loving that I am moving away from only buy black I am loving colours.

Have any of you gone shopping lately? I can not be the only one that is really happy with the clothing being put out. I am practically shocked the quality of clothing primark is producing I can honestly say that they going neck to neck with shops like Top shop and New look.

So I was getting little disappointed with new look because just seemed like the was not trying to give that wow factor for me the clothes was becoming boring predictable, for me they are doing a little better in their plus size range but still can do a lot more.

So I recently order two jackets from H%M and I am patiently awaiting the arrival of these jackets I find buying jackets so hard because I want jacket that fits and looks nice but I refuse to be paying over a £100 jacket, that to me don’t have that wow factor.

hey all

Hey all,

            So firstly I have to apologise for the lack of blogs in the last two months, part of it was that I was busy but also it was me being lazy.

So the last time I blog I started to change the blog to cater for all sizes, and I have spoken to some people and they don’t think it’s a good idea because there are lot of blogs on smaller size fashion. I am thankful that my blog is read and needed but I still feel that I can cater for all, and remember I am trying to show all aspect of fashion. I don’t want my lovely curvy ladies to feel that I am not catering for them anymore because I am I just thought I will open it to all, as I love fashion.

So I am currently really excited about the prospect of taking up a sewing course in January, I am highly excited about this as I would love to make my own clothing, I love the idea of mixing two design together and making the perfect dress.

Love to you all xxxxxxxx

hey all

I am a very happy bunny today, why you all ask is because of the great sales that are going on at the moment. I mostly love Dorothy Perkins, I seen so many items I want to get. So please take a look on their website, as they offer more variety on their rather then go into the stores. New look has disappointed me in general the last couple of months because they have NO clothing that I would want to get  at the present time and its seems like they not getting new stock.

I am liking Asos but do find for some items in the curve range to be over priced but again I would say that they do offer great value for money, so it’s also worth taking on their website.

Evans doing a 50% sale on shoes, if you’re like me that needs a wider fitting with shoes, it’s definitely worth taking a look. They have some lovely pairs of Wellington boots,  I have just ordered the blue poko dots ones, winter is among us so please invest in a pair of Wellingtons.

So I have not been in Primark for a while so I can’t comment on what they have in stock, within the next couple of weeks will be going in their. I am hoping that this winter they are going to be doing more jumper dresses, I bought a lovely purple one from their last winter wishing I had bought it in black as well.

So I have been looking in Asda, Tesco, Sainsburys and I am pleasantly surprise on what they have on offer. Why is it we turn our noses down at these stores but will shop in the markets? Don’t be ashamed to take a look through their clothing you be surprised what they have to offer.

ladies with love. xxxxxxxx

So I thought I share two outfits that I have worn in the last month that I love. I think their nothing sexier, beautiful then wearing an outfit that you feel totally comfortable in. I said before your body is not made for fashion, but its fashion that is made for your body, so keep on trying new things find what complements your body shape and size. Before I would never wear a jumpsuit I thought it never complemented me at all, but this summer i have really got into them. As for me wearing a white dress before this would have been a total NO NO but both items of clothing i think are absolutely stunning.

This Jumpsuit is from Primark and was £9 I love it I accessorised it with a junky gold necklace, gold bangles and gold sandals. Ladies if I had to grade this outfit it would be 10/10 they have sizes 6-22 in this jumpsuit

This white dress is from Dorothy Perkins, when i first saw this dress I was not in love with it I actually walk pass it twice, because I never wear white i just didn't feel like white suited me so I always tended to avoid it. I love this dress I like the way it fits around the bust area and then flares out. When i wore this dress I wore gold accessorises and flat gold sandals, also have worn this dress with nude colour wedges.
Again marks 10/10

DATE OUTFITS

I was recently asked what to wear on a first date, its always that thing do I get dressed up, do I go casual its question we have and will ask ourselves.

I think the best solution is dress for the occasion for example if you know where your going dress for it.

Two examples:

If your going to the cinemas and maybe a bit to eat for argument sakes lets say nandos then I suggest you wear a casual outfit maybe peg trousers and nice blouse with  a pair of pumps and then accessorise the outfit with chunky jewellery

I am love love LOVING this orange beaded blouse from Asos, I think it’s a stunning item to have in your wardrobe.

If you’re going for meal in a restaurant down west end then I would say dress up a bit but keep it practical. Meaning if you can’t wear the heels wears flats. Yes I know allot of you are saying are you mad no I am not, think about what is going to be worse wearing flats and being comfortable and enjoying the evening of wearing heels and thinking how are you going to be able to walk in these shoes. Ladies there is nothing with walking with a pair of flats, to change into.

I love this blue dress from Dorothy Perkins I would remove the belt and team it with a vibrant red belt and also match it with red shoes. I think I am really getting into my colours and the mixing of them.

Going out outfits for all sizes from Asos

This Asos exclusive pencil dress wit cape detail, I love this dress I think because I love a pencil skirts why this dress works for me. You can where it to work and dress it up as well for a night out. Ladies remember I say that never get lost in an outfit make it your own. I would defo wear this with a platform heels round toe to complete this outfit. This is from the Asos curve range. Price £35

Also the detail in this dress is stunning.

For my smaller ladies this mini pussybow shirt dress with shirred cuffs is in sizes 6-18. I am really getting into colour at the moment; I feel this orange dress is such a statement dress I love love it. Also I feel that colour really brings out ladies features we tend to buy darker colours because it a safer bet lets be more daring and try different colours. Price of dress £35

So I have recently purchased this Slash back dress and I love it I shall be wearing it on Saturday night. This dress for me is sexy I love it I love the detail at the back of the dress. I will be taking a picture of the complete look on Saturday but this is how I am planning on wearing it, because at the back of the dress is slashed I am going to wear a pink bra because your bra does show be a little funky and team it up, I am going to be getting pink shoes to match it. This dress is currently n sale for £20 from Asos
curve range.
Picture to come next week.

I do love this black bodycon slash back dress. I feel like these bodycon dresses allow for you figure to show it hugs in all the write places, like the curve range I like the slash cut at the back of the dress. This dress £20 sizes 6-18
One thing I would say this dress is not for those who do not like showing their back as allot is on show.

Ok so this Jersey dress with cowl neck, I am not in love with it, I like but I don't have that wow factor I think because I would need to see this dress on someone and see how it is completely dressed up. I do like it but I don't think this dress is for everyone. This dress is £35

For the smaller ladies this drape cowl back strap detail dress is £25. What can I say about this dress, again from me I like it but don't love it. It is again a great buy and the detail at the back is lovely, I promise you if you dress this dress up with accessorise and a stunning pair of shoes it will turn from a simple dress to a WOW factor dress.
