Isn't it stunning? When I received it and took it out of the packing, my first thought was how much more beautiful this dress was in real life. I mean it looked lovely on the internet too, but in real life you see the beautiful watercolours of this dress. Beautiful coral, peach, blue and green on a white textured background. It's so pretty. I love the texture as it has kind of a waffle texture as you can see in the last photo. The sweetheart neckline makes it so feminine and perfect for summer. The length hits me right on the knee and I'm 5'6. This dress has got straps, so no sleeves, but I don't mind that at all.  For my holiday style I teamed this with a simple yellow cardi as I didn't want it to take the attention away from the dress. I put on some lovely coral heels and my cat eye sunglasses from Modcloth. I don't like wearing much jewellery when it is hot so instead I chose to wear a cute pearl Alice band to get my hair away from my face.

I chose this dress in size 24 which is a great fit for me. In these days when sizing is so often way off it's nice to actually fit into my correct size. It's a little bit of a strech in the dress which makes it fit perfectly without feeling tight.

Until I go to Mexico and it is still quite cold here, I might team it with a denim jacket, leggings and ankle boots for a cute, but edgy style.





*gifted item, but views are all mine.

 When I went to Tenerife on holiday in February and I hadn't left home without bringing some pastels. I love pastels. Even in the winter here in England I use them as they are so soft on the skin and easy to wear.

Skirt from Primark (Old), Jumper from George (Sold Out), Shoes from New Look (Sold out, but HERE in orange and black),

This outfit made me feel very feminine and it almost made me feel like it was my birthday. I think I want something lacey and pastell coloured for my birthday party in August... If I don't change my mind it will be something very girly. I am wearing an old skirt from Primark last year with a jumper from George I bought earlier this year. I think the delicate colours goes so well with my bright purple lipstick as well. Since I was on holiday I chose to wear this outfit with my blue flats from New Look. If I had been home and had unlimited shoes to chose from I probably would have gone for some nude ones, but I think the blue works well as a pop of colour.

Here are a few of my favourite pastel picks of the spring.

1. Skater Dress From Asos  2. Wide Fit T-Bar Buckle Wedges 3. Nadia Off The Shoulder Assymetric Bodycon 4. Coloured Block Winged Bag 5. Pleated Satin Dress 6. Mint green Glitter Ballet Pumps 7. Pink Poppy Print Skater Dress With Black Band

Hello everyone.

Today I have the pleasure of introducing my lovely husband reviewing some clothes on my blog. Yours Clothing has recently introduced their first men's plus size clothing range which is amazing news as plus size men doesn't have many places to shop either. Maybe men aren't as interested in fashion and shopping as us women, I still think that most men like to look their best. And if you are a plus size man, there isn't too much of a choice, so I want to give Yours Clothing's mens range a big warm welcome.

I was asked by the lovely people at Yours Clothing if Mike and I wanted to do a his and hers shoot with some of the clothes from the men's range and some from the new spring collection for women. We got pretty excited when we were asked as we thought it would be so much fun doing this together.

And we were right, it turned out to be such a fun experience and I have to admit I think the photos turned out really really well too (apart from when you use self timer and tripod there is no one to tell me that my shrug had ridden up, but it adds a bit of fun and the photos are so real and spontanious).









Don't we look good? We have done two different styles to show a bit of versatility in the clothes so I hope you enjoy this review.

First Mike's review.

When Mookie mentioned it to me about the possibility to do a shoot I was thrilled to be asked. I normally stay on the other side of the camera so it was nice a brand new experience for me, but a fun one.

I had picked this Green, White And Black Plaid Shirt With Patch Pocket* and a MIGHTY Grey 5-pocket Classic fit Trousers* as I liked the style of the shirt and I thought they went really well with the jean style trousers. I didn't want anything too formal as I feel more comfortable with a relaxed look.



The shirt is really good quality material and soft to the touch. Looks really well made and think it will last me for years. I like the colours in this shirt which complemented the grey colour from the trousers. However the sizing of this shirt is very big. I first ordered 2XL as this size normally fits me best, but it was really big when it arrived so I exchanged it for an XL size. This was also a bit on the big side, but it wasn't too big and I was happy the way it looked on me. I can see myself wearing this shirt open with a plain t-shirt under too. It is such a comfortable shirt to wear and I'm sure I will be wearing it many more times to come.



The trousers which I would call jeans as they are a 5 pocket style and flat fronted fitted perfectly in my normal waist size 38" so no oversize here. As they fitted so well they are very comfortable and had a bit of stretch in them, but not so much that they lose their shape. Great dark grey colour and they have a stripy texture which becomes more apparent the closer you look.

Stripy texture

I finished the look off with some black leather slip on shoes from Padders that I have had for some time.

Before you read on I have to come with a statement. I have found the most beautiful skirt in the world!

Here it is


As you can see is this skirt crafted so well and it comes with two slits to make the size of the skirt a better fit for you. And the beautiful wrap around style is so versatile and the band just adds extra niceness to this skirt.



The contrast net at the hem makes this skirt so different than other skirts. It adds a bit of sexiness to a very girly skirt. The knee length is perfect for me as I can wear this skirt to work and to a more formal occassion.

The light kind of makes my boob look even bigger and very round :D

I really like this outfit and I think the blue shoes really sets the outfit off. I was wearing this one evening we were going out for dinner while I was on holiday in Tenerifeback in February. Fiza and I agreed on posting this skirt in the spring as it has such a spring feel to it.

Jumper from George- HERE
Shoes from New Look- Sold out
Glasses from Specspost- HERE*
Necklace from street market in Spain

I love the way Das Rock Haus(It's German for The Skirt House) has made their sizing so different and lovely cause the skirts comes in these sizes. I chose this skirt in Luscious :)


 I also wanted to show off a second look with this skirt to show a more summery look rather than spring. It also shows what the skirt looks like on the other side with the net side out.












I love both these outfits so much and this skirt is my new favourite. I can't wait to wear it on holiday again. I love the yellow and the green together. It's fun and I feel very young in these colours. Who said getting close to 40 need to be boring? :)

Wearing:

Das Rock Haus always wins the award for the cutest packing. Just look.

It even comes with a little charm that you can use on bracelets or attach to your purse. It's so cute.

Hope you liked this skirt as much as I do. I think it is amazing that there are little companies out there that dare to be different and make something that all sizes can wear. You don't have to compensate with Das Rock Haus as they would always try to accomodate your need.
