Clothing at Tesco brings a touch of Brazil
Last November I was lucky enough to be invited to the Clothing at Tesco press day, and even though I was feeling very ill that day, actually sleeping on the train all the way to London, I knew that this was one preview event I really didn’t want to miss. The theme was linked to the World Cup in Brazil, which will dominate Summer 2014 for at least half the population. So we got lots of bright colours, citrus, neon and primary shades that just popped and dazzled so beautifully I was instantly in love. We also got beachy vibes in ethnic print maxi dresses and skirts, playfully teamed with…

My LPSFW outfit + Win! with Clothing at Tesco.
Last week I was invited to attend London Plus size Fashion Weekend as a guest of Tesco. Of course I said ‘Yes!’ in my loudest voice, and then proceeded to squeal for a good many minutes when they said I would be able to choose an outfit from the Clothing at Tesco site to wear on the day.

As a consequence, I think jeans are possibly my least favourite item of clothing. So when F&F launched a new collection of limited edition shapewear jeans, called the ‘Bum and Tum’ collection, I…

Make a Splash with New Season Swimwear
Classic swimwear is timeless – a black swimsuit, big sunglasses and red lipstick will never go out of style. However, this year’s new season swimwear is fun, playful and (best of all) flattering – many brands are now offering figure-control swimwear that ranges from swimming costumes with tummy-control panels to shaping bikinis with high-waisted retro bottoms. Vintage style is making waves in swimwear with 1950s and pin-up influences, and colour blocking completes its total fashion takeover with a foray into swimwear. Finally, beach cover-ups bring the sheer maxi trend from the city to the sunshine. Vintage-inspired swimwear is everywhere this year. This floral and feminine bikini can be…
