The Winter Mist And Plus Size Fashion / Vinterdisen Og Klær I Store Størrelser.

On the way back from work the other day we drove past one of my favourite places in Surrey. Very often when we drive past in the morning it looks so stunning with sunshine and a low mist over the river and the fields. Since it was between Christmas and New Year we were allowed to go home earlier and on the way home Mike and I saw this beautiful display that Mother Nature had put on for us. Needless to say I had to stop and take photos. As it was quite a good light, I thought I could do some outfit photos too since I liked the outfit I was wearing.

PÃ¥ vei tilbake fra jobb her om dagen kjørte vi forbi en av mine favorittplasser her i Surrey. Veldig ofte nÃ¥r vi kjører forbi om morgenen ser det sÃ¥ fantastisk ut med solskinn og morgen dis over elven og jordene. Siden det var i romjula hadde vi faatt lov til og gÃ¥ fra jobb tidligere og det var altsÃ¥ paa vei hjem Mike og jeg sÃ¥ hva Moder Jord hadde laget til oss. Unødvendig og si at jeg mÃ¥tte stoppe og ta bilder. Og siden lyset var ganske bra tenkte jeg at det var en god mulighet og ta noen antrekksbilder siden jeg likte hva jeg hadde pÃ¥ meg. 


Wearing my blanket wrap from New Look that I bought in the autumn sometime. It's so warm and I love throwing it over a simple blank outfit to make it a bit more exciting. I wear it both with and without a belt, but I think that the belt adds more shape to the outfit. It also keeps the blanket in the same place so I don't have to keep correcting it if it is windy.

Jeg har pÃ¥ meg dette pledd sjalet om jeg kan kalle det det pÃ¥ norsk. Det er fra New Look og jeg kjøpte det i høst. Det er veldig godt og varmt og jeg bruker og kaste det pÃ¥ meg over et enkelt sort antrekk for og gjøre det litt mer interessant. Jeg bruker sjalet bÃ¥de med og uten belte, men med et belte syns jeg det gir litt mer form. Det holder ogsÃ¥ sjalet pÃ¥ rett plass hvis det er vind. 


 
I wore the blanket with black leggings with contrasting PU panels from F&F and a black jumper with lace inserts from City Chic. My lovely animal print ankle boots from Simply Be and a brand new forest green handbag from Bessie. It was a Christmas present from Mike and I love it. The colour is stunning and it's big so I can fit all my lipsticks in it!!! (For all that haven't met me, I do tend to bring with me at least 12-15 lipsticks at any time, just in case). *lipstick whore*

Jeg bruker sjalet sammen med sorte tights som har falskt skinn parti på siden og en sort genser med blonder på armene. Jeg elsker de dyreprint ankel støvlettene jeg har på meg. Håndveska mi er en julegave fra Mike og jeg elsker den. Fargen er helt nydelig og den er så stor at jeg kan ha alle leppestiftene mine i den. (Til alle som ikke har møtt meg, jeg bruker og ha med meg minst 12-15 leppestifter hvor enn jeg går, bare sånn i tilfelle.) *Leppestift hore*



Adding my belt around the wrap at the front, but not the back as I think it gives a bit more to the outfit.

Hvis jeg tar pÃ¥ meg et belte mens jeg bruker sjalet, sÃ¥ tar jeg beltet pÃ¥ rundt midjen min, men ikke bak for jeg syns det ser bedre ut med bakdelen løs. 




Wearing my new Mad In England glasses from Red or Dead that I will write a review about in a later post.

Har pÃ¥ meg de nye Made In England brillene mine fra Read or Dead som jeg skrive en anmeldelse om senere i en annen post. 







Mike was as always taking the lovely photos of me. Without him I wouldn't be able to get as good photos as I have. He is so supportive, patient and puts up with my comments (sometimes harsh ones) if I'm not happy.  

Mike var som alltid den som tok bildene av meg. Uten han ville det ikke bli noen av de gode bildene som jeg har pÃ¥ bloggen min. Han er sÃ¥ støttende, tÃ¥lmodig og tÃ¥ler til og med mine til dels skarpe kommentarer dersom jeg er kritisk til bildene. 

I really like this item and I might invest in another one if they are on sale somewhere. I find them very useful when I'm inside too if I get a bit cold or when Mike and I are on one of our travels. Useful in the car and on the plane. 

Jeg liker dette plagget sÃ¥ veldig at jeg mÃ¥ kanskje investere i enda et hvis jeg finner et i salgene. De er ogsÃ¥ veldig nyttige hvis du er kald nÃ¥r du er inne ogsÃ¥ eller hvis jeg og Mike er ute pÃ¥ en av vÃ¥re reiser. Nyttig bÃ¥de i bilen og pÃ¥ flyet.

Traditional Elegance For Plus Size Hands

Autumn comes with cooler days and one of the first places I notice it's time is my hands. They go all white and when they do I need to find my gloves. I love gloves, as I think they can can make an outfit tie together. When Dents asked me if I wanted to review one of their pair of gloves I wanted to chose something timeless and elegant. I chose these beauties.



I chose them in charcoal colour as it is a colour I haven't got and I think it will go with so much I have in my wardrobe. Grey is such a lovely colour with red, blue, pink and my favourite colour right now, yellow. The gloves are stunning and amazingly soft. I have never felt softer leather before. Lined with 100% silk makes them soft on the inside too. They are designed with an elasticated palm and a 3 point detail on the front of the glove. I love the 4 buttons at the wrist as it makes them stand out nicely, but subtle.

I went out the other night to celebrate my mother in laws birthday and I wore this.

Doesn't the gloves go well with my beautiful dress and wrap scarf? 

I love this outfit. The colours goes so well together and I love how the gloves just ties up with the colours of my tights and my boots.


Love the details of this outfit.

October, But Still Summer?

Is it only me or is there any of you that think this autumn has been more of a summer? Have you packed away your summer dresses and found autumn clothes? Are you wearing boots instead of cute ballerinas and thick jumpers instead of little cardigans? I'm not!! I'm still using my summer clothes. It's as warm here as it is in Northern part of Norway where I grew up as it is in Norway in the summer so I'm still wearing my gorgeous floral Joe Browns dress from Simply Be I bought not so long ago. It's on sale now as well, so snap it up before it's gone, as this dress is really lovely.








Isn't it a gorgeous dress. I think these kind of dresses are so flattering on my curvy plus size body. It really enhances my shape and makes me look very proportioned. I've kept the outfit simple as I want the dress to shine. It's such a vibrant and lovely print that I will even use this dress into the winter. I'll layer it up with tights, boots and a pretty jumper or thick cardi and a cape and I will be ready for colder weather. And I need a bit of colour and reminder of warmer times in the winter. It makes me happy and looking forward to spring and summer again. And remember it is only 63 days till the sun turns again and it gets lighter every day.



This dress is a great fit over my boobs and doesn't "cut" my boobs in half as many other dresses do. So when I find a great dress like this one, I tend to treat it so carefully that it can last a long time. It's a nice and thick fabric as well so I can't see it wearing out quickly. A very good crafted dress.

Do you like Joe Browns?
