A Wheelbarrow Full of Style

Hi! I just popped into Asda, not with the intention of buying any clothes of course but with the George 1/2 price sale how could I resist! After my op I really wanted something comfy to wear so when my mum spotted these leggings I thought perfect! They are so so comfy, fit really well and for £4 you can't go wrong really!   Cardigan - New Look Leggings - Asda Scarf - Sainsburys Boots - New Look It was a bit chilly when I took these that's why my hands are shoved in my pockets!

Hi! I was naughty a while ago, after saying that I wasn't going to buy anything from the New Look sale I caved and picked up this white jacket and a vest top. I wasn't sure at first because me and white don't usually go well together, I can guarantee by the end of the day I will have either a food stain on me or a pen mark! I don't think its available anymore as I picked it up in September but they do have this lovely little number available now . Here is how I styled it for a casual Saturday outing! Much Love N x

Hi! At the end of September I was lucky to win a prize from the lovely  Debz over at The (Not So) Secret Diary of Wannabe Princess from her birthday giveaway she ran on her blog. I won a lovely cartoon print midi dress from Topsy Curvy . I received it a few weeks ago but have only just got round to taking photos! The dress itself is so lovely, I was a bit unsure at first as I don't really wear anything with prints on it but as soon as I put on any fears I had went out the window. The dress is the perfect length so I can wear it with or without leggings and the material is lovely, thick and stretchy and doesn't cling too much. Here is how I styled it for an evening out!   Dress - Topsy Curvy Jacket - Asda Leggings - Forever 21 Boots - Asda   Thanks again to Debz and Topsy Curvy x Much Love   N x

Hi!     So first of all I would like to say thank you to everyone that has read my blog over the last few weeks and left comments.   September was a pretty rubbish month for me, I was admitted into hospital 3 times for a problem that has been ongoing for the last two years. Last week I finally had an operation, even though I have been in a lot of pain I'm finally relieved to have got somewhere. The past two years have been a constant battle with various doctors and consultants, I knew what the problem was but trying to get someone to agree with me was another story. I felt quite angry when after the op a consultant asked me if I knew that I had a lump that size..... ummm yes of course I did!!! grrrrr So hopefully after my operation last week I'm on the road to recovery (fingers crossed) and in a few more weeks will be able to set foot in the shops again (sorry Mr C!)   Anyway whilst I have been at home I noticed that there is so much negativity towards fat peop

Hi! Welcome to another OMCZ challenge. This week it's the turn of the Verena and here is what she wrote: “Nightclub“ Imagine you're going clubbing with your friends, a girls night out whatever. My problem with nightclubs is, I always feel like I'm dressed wrong. I can do the whole programme and get really dolled up but in the end I always feel that everybody around me is dressed a lot cooler, hipper, stylish.... So I would loved to see how all the other lovely ladies interpret the look “nightclub“. So I had to use an old photo for this challenge as I'm still recovering from an operation and the day that I took all my photos (pre op) I completely forgot to do one for this challenge!   I love this outfit especially the skirt from Pink Clove. As the nights get colder I would add tights and jacket over this but it would definitely be something I would wear to a club. Much Love N X Don't forget to check out the other lov

Hi! Time for the second I Feel Good challenge.   " You know sometimes when you spend ages getting ready for a night out, an event or even just a blog post, and the reflection in mirror isn't what you hoped?  This challenge is for those times when you look in the mirror, no pre planning involved, and think "I look good today".     We all have our good days and our bad, but this challenge is to record those good days and to remember that confidence, at any size, is beautiful.   This picture was taken on a weekend away in Bournemouth which was for my birthday. We had a wonderful time and this was taken at pre dinner drinks in the hotel bar.     Much Love   N x   Don't forget to check out the other ladies taking part:     Becca  http://bekasstuffystuff.blogspot.co.uk/ Becky  http://www.doesmyblogmakemelookfat.com/ Bee  http://www.thelittlestbuzz.blogspot.co.uk/ Felicity  http://felicityhart.blogspot.co.uk/ Hallie 

Hi!   On Sunday I ventured out to Aylesbury for a wedding fayre with my mum and sister.   I'm not a great lover of these types of events and this one was no exception as it was busy, crowded and not enough free samples!   We still managed to have a look around and get a few ideas for my sister's wedding and possibly my own (one day!).   My OOTD for the day.

Hi! Welcome to another week of the Style It My Way Challenge. This week the theme is stripes.     I got this cardigan at the beginning of the year from Forever 21.

Hi!   Even though it's great that we now have a few more online stores opening up for plus sizes I feel like it has taken a long time to get here.   I remember going on holiday to Boston 10 years ago and coming back with a suitcase full of clothes because there was nothing to wear over here. Most weekends when I went shopping I would end up coming back with a ton of accessories and no clothes. Hmm, maybe that's where my love of handbags started!   The first store that I went into was Macy's and I was surprised to see a Ralph Lauren plus range, cue multiple shopping bags in my hands!   One store that I became particularly fond of whilst shopping in the US was Lane Bryant. I remember buying a pair of trousers that lasted me a good few years before I had to throw them away, the quality was excellent and the fit was good as well. The same can be said for all the tops and jeans that I bought as well.   I recently had a look on their website and noticed that

Hi!     I have thick coarse afro hair, so until I have my hair relaxed I look like a shorter, female version of Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons . It is such a nightmare for me sometimes, it's never a case of wash 'n' go more like wash 'n' slow go!   I had been trying to grow my hair out back to it's natural state as years of relaxing, dyeing and straighteners had taken their toll and my hair was slowly falling out at the front. This is quite a common occurrence in relaxed hair and is also quite distressing (well for me anyway!).   I managed 6 months before I had to cave in and call upon my lovely Mother for my hair to be done. It had got to the point where I it would take me about 20 minutes to comb it and even then it didn't look good in the pictures for my blog.   If you don't know much about afro hair here is my quick little guide about mine:   1. I have super thick, coarse and dry hair.   2. My hair tends to grow up and out

Hi! This weeks OMCZ is a free week! So here is the outfit that I have chosen for this week's theme:   I bought this top earlier this year from Ebay, a total impulse buy! I don't own anything orange and not with a horse print either. I actually wore this outfit on Sunday when we went shopping. My dad said I looked nice so for me that means this top is a keeper!

Hi! A few weeks ago I went on a mission to find some new black trousers after I had to throw my favourite pair away. I picked up this pair in Asda after trying all the other black trousers and not having much luck. They are not ideal work trousers but until I can find a decent pair they will have to do. They are really comfortable and stretchy, it's quite a thick material but not so much that you end up all sweaty betty. My only bug bear with the trousers is the zip toggle, if I don't wear shoes with a chunky heal it hits the ground with every step I take, so annoying after 5 minutes.   I also got this skirt. I was unsure about it at first. The pattern is not something I would normally go for as I always thought it would highlight my chunky thighs. Now I love it, the fit is great and it hugs my hips and thighs without showing the lumps and bumps!   Oh check out those '' winter is coming'' dry legs, I need extra moisturiser!  

Hi!   A few weeks ago we went to Leighton Buzzard. I wanted to go there as I was still on the hunt for some black work trousers. I saw on the Yours Clothing website that one of their stores was located there so Mr C kindly took me for a visit/shopping trip!   Whilst we were there I thought I would have a quick peek in Peacocks. It's a store that I haven't been into for a quite a few years, I felt like it had become a little too trendy and young for me.   I got quite a surprise when I went in there, rows of brightly coloured skirts, denim shirts and gorgeous looking jumpers greeted me and I was enticed.   I picked up two items, firstly a denim shirt. It's something I have been wanting for months, ok maybe they are out of fashion now but I don't care I still love it!   You can find it here on the website. I also got this long jumper, I think it will look nice with a jacket over the top and then when it gets colder a long sleeved top underneat
