Your favourite food - Mashed Potato!

Whats your personal style?

Smart casual with a hint of my eccentricity in it!

What do you hope for, for the future?

I hope that one day Mr C and I will get married, settle in a new home and live a good happy life! oh and that I continue to blog and enjoy it!

What has been the best part of blogging?

The confidence it has given me, last summer on the odd warm days we had I lived in trousers or jeans and never showed my arms, this year I have been wearing dresses, skirts and vest tops. I also enjoy chatting to fellow plus size bloggers.

What has been your best ever bargain buy?

A dress that can also be used as a skirt from Evans - It will be in a post soon!

What has been your biggest fashion disaster?

One that never leaves my mind is a pair of lime green shorts I bought to go on holiday to the USA, my sister had the same pair but in neon yellow, I have no idea what every possessed us to buy them!

What has been your biggest fashion triumph?

Peplum tops, I find them so comfortable and they fit over the top of my bubble butt!

What item of clothing would you never wear?

Short skirts or Short 'shorts', I still don't feel comfortable about showing my thighs too much.

Heels or flats? Flats!

How did you choose the name of your blog?

I went through lots of different names before I cam up with this one, I wanted to combine my love of gardening and fashion so that's when awheelbarrowfullofstyle was born!

How long have you been blogging? 

I started in in January 2013, I was a bit slow to start off with as I was sure what I wanted to blog about. I think I really got into in around March/April time.

Now for my questions:

  1. Facebook or Twitter
  2. An event your are looking forward to this year?
  3. How do you stay motivated whilst blogging?

Pretty in red

Hi! We paid a visit to the lovely town of Cirencester a few weeks ago. Whilst we were there we had a quick wonder around and also managed to pop into a shop or two! I haven't had much luck with charity shop finds this year, every time I see something nice it's never in my size..bah! Anyway I saw a British Heart Foundation and thought I would have a quick look in. The first thing I saw was this gorgeous top, it was originally from M&S and still had the tags on. I didn't try it on as I thought it looked big enough and at £3.99 I had to snap it up! I paired it with this pretty skirt I bought from the New Look sale a few weeks ago. This was going to be my Plus North day outfit but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to wear it. I forgot I had a white bra on! Do you ever shop in charity shops? Much Love N x

Food | Breakfast Time!

Hi, A good weekend for me starts with a good breakfast, not just a bowl of cereal but creamy eggs on toast, juice and maybe a pastry or two! If you follow me on Instagram you will see that most weekends I post stories of Mr C and I at our favourite breakfast spot, The Batch Café. We first discovered the Batch back in 2017 after spotting it on Instagram. I said to Mr C that we had to add it to our list of places to try. Our first visit was late one Saturday morning so it was more brunch than breakfast. Mr C opted for a ploughman's lunch and I went with my favourite, scrambled eggs on toast. I'm super fussy when it comes to scrambled eggs, I love fresh eggs with a bit of salt and pepper, they have to be creamy but not too runny and piping hot. I have been to many places where I have left my eggs, if I can't tick all of the above then I won't eat them. As soon as I tried the ones at the Batch I told Mr C we would be coming back. The eggs were perfectly cook

Flash the flesh!

When a group of bloggers join together for a chat you know that the final result has to be super! So this happened once more when a few days ago we were talking about our prefences between mini and maxi and Becky thought that it would be great to create a challenge where the goal was to show a little but more skin and our body(but with style and no vulgarity) showing proudly our curves. And so 'flash the flesh' was born! I went outside because a few weeks ago I went out in a dress with tights and some random man decided to shout out that I had fat legs! Since then I have been feeling slightly self conscious about my legs so when the idea of flash the flash came up I thought why not step outside, flash my little 'fat' legs and get my confidence back! It was quite difficult today as it was so windy but here are my pics (and please excuse my wind swept hair!) and I had to put my jacket on after coming out because it was a little chilly! Here are the links to the oth
