The Flirt That Lead To A Love Affair

I have never been shopping much from abroad as I've been concerned about the cost of customs and also about fit as it would be a lot more hassle to send anything back abroad. When I lived in Norway I used to buy clothes online from abroad sometimes as this was the only way I could get more exciting ones. When I moved to Canada there was a bit more choice, but when I moved to UK I felt spoilt. As a size 22/24 I had lots of choice, both in high street stores, supermarkets and online. So I haven't really felt the need to get something from abroad, until now.

I went shopping with the gorgeous Katt, Abi and my friend Heidi back in August. Katt had a dress that she had bought, but didn't fit from Modcloth that I wanted to take a look at as I loved it. I was a bit worried it wouldn't fit over my boobies, but when I tried it on it was a perfect fit. I was in love.






Boob grabbing!!!! I Love this photo of Katt and me. :) 

LOVE the back of this dress. It's so cute. And the print is amazing. 

Modcloth is an American company that specialises in independent designers and they have some amazing and quirky clothes. If you haven't looked at their site yet, go now and take a look and I can guarantee you that there is something that will catch your eye. Visit Modcloth HERE

I decided to wear this dress for the evening do at Plus North and so I did. I felt so nice and I got lots of comments on the dress and that I looked lovely. Here you can take a look for yourself.

Becky, Abi, me and Sam. Aren't we a stunning bunch?? :) 


After this first encounter with Modcloth I have totally fallen in love with the shop and even if it cost me extra to get them sent to UK and the risk of having to pay customs on top of that, the clothes are so beautiful that it's worth it. I have had two more orders come to me since this first lovely dress and I can guarantee you it won't be the last as I'm officially in love.

Do you ever buy clothes from abroad?

A Plus Size Summer Wedding Wish List

I'm going to a big manor wedding this summer and I wanted to wear something that reflects me, my personality and have that summer feeling to it.

I have been browsing the net for ages to find something that ticked all the boxes and I think I have found it now.

Just take a look at this beautiful dress from One Stop Plus from Igigi. 



It has the vintage feel to it, it is yellow which is my favourite colour right now and it has florals so it gives the summer feel I was looking for.

Since it has a vintage feel to it, I decided to style it in a 50s style with accessories and shoes as well, but at the same time add a bit of colour to it.

This is what I went for.






I have got inspiration from a typical feminine 50s style with a full skirt and more fitted top. I add a sweater guard and pearl bracelet to make the vintage wedding guest look complete.

I'm very excited for my nieces wedding and I want to be in comfort all day and at the same time feel like a glamorous filmstar and with this look I think I've nailed it.
