A Wheelbarrow Full of Style

Hi! After going round what seemed like every shop in town trying to find some holiday clothes for Mr C we stopped in H&M where I got distracted as per usual. Now I know that H&M stock a plus size range but I don't think that much of it. I always look at the regular sizes as there are always one or two things that I find will fit me, mainly tops but that's fine as I have enough trousers and skirts to last a lifetime! Mr C actually choose this top for me, it's not something that I would have chosen but when I put it on I really liked it. I paired it with some trousers from ASOS and some shoes from Primark. I wore this on the plane and it was the perfect outfit for 8 hours in the air.   Top - H&M Trousers - ASOS Shoes - Primark   Much Love   Natalie   x

Hi! Hopefully by the time you read this I should be on a beach sunning myself and drinking a rum or two! Mr C and I are off for a nice 10 night break for a little sun and relaxation! I wanted to get a few extra bits for holiday, I still had some items left from last time so I didn't want to go crazy and by tons of stuff. I was looking for a cover up to wear over my swimsuit by the pool. I originally purchased two from H&M, which were beautiful on the hanger but didn't look right when I tried them on so I took them back and got this one from Primark. It fits really well and is light which will be perfect for the heat. I had been looking for some simple t-shirts that I could pair with shorts, skirts or trouser for a smart of casual look. Primark had these t-shirts in a few different colours, I got this stone one and a white (not shown) one, at £4 they fit really well and are comfortable. They are quite thin so a nude bra is needed underneath unles

Hi! After updating my holiday wardrobe we also decided Mr C needed a few new pieces to get him holiday ready! We thought that it would be so easy to find clothes for him but it turned out to be a bit of a challenge this time. Most summer items seem to be aimed towards younger men, some of the vest tops that Mr C tried on just didn't suit him at all. We did however manage to find a few things so scroll down to see what he got! Sleevless T-Shirt - These were tucked right in the back corner of the H&M menswear with the rest of the basics. They were an excellent find, Mr C went for an X-Large and a large. The XL is quite big on him so it's perfect for a really casual look by the pool or going to the beach. One item we didn't really struggle with were shorts. The flower print ones are from gap and are swim shorts. These were from the Gap outlet but if your partner / husband or any male that you know is around a 36inch waist I would highly recommend

Hi! For one of my Christmas presents last year, Mr C kindly brought me a lovely Kate Spade handbag. Along with jewellery, bags are my favourite things to buy and I now have quite the collection that has grown over the years. I wanted to do a review of the bag for anyone that might want to purchase one. I always like to have a look around for reviews on handbags that I am going to purchase, especially the ones that are slightly more pricey. First of all the bag comes in a lovely dustbag. I always keep my handbags inside their dustbags when not in use, it definitely helps protect the leather. The Kate Spade bags also have a lovely little quote on them. The actual bag is leather with gold hardware. The leather is lovely, very soft and supple. I always protect my leather bags with leather cream. I just rub on with a cloth to keep them soft and stop them getting ruined in the usual UK bad weather and also to make them generally last longer. Inside there ar

Hi! Theme 4 - Short(s) Date 25th June 2015 Theme: Short(s) Our next theme is Short(s), feel free to use your imagination for this one and I can't wait to see what you all come up with.  First of all I have to apologise for missing the previous OMCZ challenge, it was the first time that it actually defeated me! I took some pictures but wasn't happy showing my tum so they were swiftly deleted and I never got time to re-do them again! As I purchased some new shorts recently for the summer I thought the OMCZ challenge would be the perfect time to show them!

  Hi!   I'm having a break today and this cheeky chap is taking my place! Whilst we were out and about a few weeks ago Mr C asked me to take some photos of him to put on the blog. He really liked his outfit that day so I was happy to oblige in a spot of photo taking! Mr C loves getting any new additions for his wardrobe from Gap, everything in these photo's, minus the trainers, are from Gap. If your husband/partner is a plus size then I would highly recommend a trip to Gap for them, especially the retail outlets. The sizing is generous, Mr C is a 38 waist jean but the ones he is wearing are a 36 waist. He also finds that the t-shirts, polos and sweatshirts/hoodies are comfortable and last for a long time. He literally lives in their jeans outside of work!   Polo Shirt - Gap Outlet Hooded Jacket - Gap Outlet Jeans - Gap Trainers - Nike Outlet   Here is the sun making it's monthly appearance!   Much Love   Natalie   x

    Hi!   I've been looking for a white/cream shirt for quite a long time now. I used to wear them all them time and then I got a better fitting bra, now I can't wear any!   When New Look had their sale on I saw this and thought I would give it a go. I decided to go for a 22 to make sure there was enough room across my chest. Unfortunately it doesn't fit that well over the chest but, as it's the perfect length, colour and it's comfortable, I'm still going to wear it!           I decided that I wasn't comfortable enough to go without anything under the shirt as it's sheer so I wore an old gold vest top.   Shirt - New Look Jeans - Simply Be Shoes - H&M (old) Scarf - Primark (Old) Gold Vest (under shirt) - New Look (Old) Bag - Kate Spade     Just a random picture from when I was trying Picmonkey!   Much Love   Natalie   x

Hi Back in March I made my way to Birmingham to meet some wonderful ladies for a PS blogger day out shopping! It was an great day, I can't remember the last time I laughed so much whilst shopping and more importantly felt comfortable. Picture taken by Kat So, whilst we were in Evans we all decided to try on some Scarlett & Jo dresses. It's been a while since I tried any of their dresses since I did this review. I knew when I saw this dress on Hollie from Pretty Big Butterflies that I would have to purchase it. The print and colour are stunning, something quite different to what I would normally go far. Trying it on Then I saw a tweet from Kat - A Curvy Cupcake saying that the dresses were on sale! I did a little happy dance when I saw this one was down to £20! I ordered a size 22 and 24 as I couldn't remember what size I tried on in Birmingham. LOVE!! I absolutely adore this dress. The way it fits makes me feel so good, I love t

  Hi!   I hope that I'm not the only one that does this, goes food shopping and then gets distracted by other shops and clothes!   Mr C and I went to do the usual food shop last Sunday morning, but on the way I decided to pop into Peacocks for a 'quick' look around.       Beautiful print and windswept hair! One of the first things I saw was this gorgeous Kimono. It's one item of clothing that has always been a bit hit and miss for me, the majority of them that I have tried on just didn't suit me. This one however was love at first sight, the flower print is just so lovely and perfect for the coming summer days.     Kimono - Peacocks Top -New Look Jeans - New Look Shoes H&M (Old)   Here are some pictures of where we took the pictures at the weekend, lovely!     Not sure what I was doing here, a duck impression perhaps!

    Hi!   I don't know what happened over the last few weeks but I lost my blogging 'mojo'. I knew it was time to have a week or two off when I was just sat staring at the computer and didn't write anything in the 2 hours that I was sat there, so I took a break! I'm back though, I knew I wouldn't stay away for long. I love blogging, the shopping, the photos and also all the lovely people I've met whilst doing it - blogging has made me very happy! I'm also in the process of updating my blog design, it's by no means finished yet so please bear with me whilst I work on it!   Anyway, back to the important subject! I saw this dress in Peacocks just as we were about to leave and knew that I had try it on before I went out the door!       As soon as I tried it on I knew it would be coming home with me, it's beautiful and even Mr C agreed. There was only a size 20 left so I kept my fingers crossed when I tried it on but it fitte

    Hi!   The sun is back, the temperature is rising and I'm slowly ditching the dark colours for something brighter! Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons of the year, there is nothing I enjoy more than seeing the trees blossoming and the daffodils on the ground, guaranteed to bring a smile to my face!    On a recent Saturday outing I opted for something casual, simple and bright. I'm really enjoying bringing back denim into my outfit, I had dismissed it for quite a long time as I was having trouble finding a pair of jeans that fitted well. I was recently sent these for review by Fashion World and even though they are not the most comfortable jeans I do love the light colour, if you do purchase these jeans I definitely suggest sizing up in them as they are quite tight around the waist, they were fine for the short day out we had but any longer and Mr C would have been taking me home in my undies!       The top is from New Look and I got it in
