My favourite buy from New Look







When I went down to Hastings and met Leah from Just Me Leah we went to New Look and we saw this amazing animal print jumper in the inspire section that we both wanted to buy. I first picked it with me, but changed my mind and said that I would get it online when I get paid. It was so soft and pretty, just perfect for winter. I don't normally wear jumpers that much as I'm a cardigan girl, but this one was so pretty and tempting..

I got paid and I bought it straight away, but haven't had chance to wear it until yesterday when it was dress down Friday. I wore it with red jeans also from New Look and I love this look. Red and grey match each other so well, I love that combination.  The jumper itself is so lovely and soft. It's warm and very cosy. I bought it in size 24 and this is a little bit too big for me, but it doesn't matter cause I can wear another jumper under if it gets really cold later in the winter. It's made of an Angora Mix and it is so soft on my skin and feels very luxerious. If there is one jumper you want to buy this season and you like animal print then this is a winner. You can find it here, and they also have it in burgundy with bow print which is fabulous too.

I also wore my Primark brogues that I wear a lot and they are so comfy. I bought them last year and I have wore them so much and there is still lots of wear left in them, not bad for a pair of shoes that cost me £11. I like Primark for basic shoes and some of them are real treasures. They normally have a huge section of trendy and affordable shoes. My feet are wide, but in most cases I haven't had any trouble finding shoes that fits me, so don't rule out Primark. It is all about looking around and see what they have. You might be surprised.

Back to the jumper. This will be an item that I will mix with skirts and boots for a relaxed look for work or wear with my faux leather skirt and fishnets for a night out.

Do you like jumpers?

Bon Prix first time buy.

Since moving to England I feel like I'm spoilt for choice in plus size clothing. I mean there might be a long way to go before everything in fashion is equal for us plus size women that likes dressing stylishly and trendy, but coming from Norway where plus size clothes were pretty much not heard of when I moved to Canada back in 2008. Some shops had plus sizes, but the clothes there were so frumpy and old fashioned that I wouldn't wear them if I got paid for it, so I did a lot of clothes buying when I was in UK or I altered clothes.
Coming to UK has given me so much more choice and it feels good to be able to dress in nice clothes even if I'm fat!

I had never bought anything from Bon Prix before, but I decided to buy some things on sale to see if I liked their products.
I had ordered a jumper I was hoping would fit as I liked the photos of it so much. I wore it today with a skirt, tights and ankle boots and I felt so nicely dressed. It is a very flattering batwing style jumper. Nice soft knit and I love the open knitted pattern so I can wear a contrast cami under that will help me change the look of this to match everything I wear it with. I hope the quality is good too, time will just tell. I have a nice cardigan and a pair of shoes I bought from them too, reviews to come, but I'm sure it won't be the last time I order from them as I'm very happy with these buys.
