Happy Birthday AWBFOS!


Hi!

On the 1st January my blog officially turned 2! I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by and how much I have done in the 2 years.

I remember the week I decided to start this blog, I was at an extremely low point in the year, Mr C and I had an awful year, I couldn't wait to say goodbye to 2012. I remember reading an article in a magazine about plus size bloggers and that was it, a day later I came up with a name, did some basic research and A Wheelbarrow Full of Style was born.

I did almost give up at one point, I had no idea what to write about, how to promote my blog and spent ages filling my head with self doubt, that I wasn't good enough. I did persevere and I'm so glad I did, the opportunities and the confidence that I've had from the blog I am very thankful for.

Anyway enough rambling on, I'm going to start getting emotional! I will be doing a giveaway to celebrate, the prize is as below:

£10 Primark Voucher
EOS Lip balm
Covergirl Mascara
Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitizer
No 7 Bath Soak



 





Good Luck!
 
Much Love

300th Post

Hi!   So as you might be able to tell from the title, this is my 300th blog post! eeek!   I started this blog back in December 2012 after reading Girl With Curves and Forever Fabulous in Bows. I was absolutely blown away by these gorgeous woman writing and posting photos about their love of fashion and beauty. The next morning in the shower I came up with a name and opened up a brand new notebook to jot down all my ideas.   It was very difficult at first, I wasn't sure whether to blog about fashion, beauty, life or gardening. I thought that I had to post every day and I didn't even know how to use my camera properly. I finally decided to post about things that I enjoy, those being clothes, shopping, more clothes, beauty and myself and Mr C going on our travels somewhere! 18 months later and I can honestly say this is best hobby I have started and actually kept up with!   I want to say thank you to everyone that reads my blog and leaves lovely comments, it reall

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

OMCZ #23

Hello! Happy New Year! The first day of 2014 starts off with a OMCZ challenge post. This week was the turn of Betty from BigFatBetty , this is what she choose as her theme: Challenge: ' Pretty Pencils'   Pretty Pencils': I absolutely love pencil skirts but I've never had the confidence to wear them, what with the VBO and all that jazz. However, I've just ordered a beauty and I could really do with that push in order to wear it...let me see all you lovely ladies rocking your pencil skirts, get those pins out and share your style tips (as I also have no idea what to wear with the damn thing)! Betty x     I don't actually own a proper pencil skirt so at first I was a bit unsure of what to wear. I then remembered my trusty old black jersey pencil skirt. I bought this about 6 maybe even more, years ago from the plus size range, Grace at Sainsbury's.     Top - Pinkclove Skirt - Sainsburys   The skirt sat in my wardrobe for at lea
