Reviewed – A special Dress from AX Paris
A special evening requires a special dress, and the premiere of a brand new ballet is most definitely a special event. I was a guest at the premiere of Aladdin by the Birmingham Royal Ballet on Friday evening, and was very lucky to be wearing a beautiful dress provided by AX Paris, from their fabulous ‘curve’ range. As a mother of a young child, opportunities for really dressing up are few and far between, so if I was going to the ballet, I was going to be wearing an evening dress! And here it is, the Jewel chiffon Jewel maxi dress in raspberry by Sienna Couture. Now, I have to…

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 fan of F&F, this was a fantastic opportunity to test drive pieces from the range, although I knew just settling on one outfit wouldn’t be easy. I knew I wanted to choose a dress, and there were a few that caught the eye, including a fabulous silk feel shirt dress…

AX Paris Curve Lemon Chiffon Skirt – fruity gorgeousness
When you are a size 16+, you can find yourself limited in the shopping department. Although many stores now have ‘plus size’ ranges, these are often quite limited in scope and choice, to the point that I often find myself mouthing those immortal words ‘not another tunic…’ So I was quite excited last year when AX Paris launched ‘Curve’, a range that would stock fashionable items in sizes 16-26. Curve promised to offer so much more than just leggings and tunics in every shade of black, it promised beautiful maxi dresses perfect for evening occasions, brightly coloured tops and t-shirts that would fit rather than swamp a curvier frame. And…

Simply Be Must haves – Simply Amazing!
I am totally besotted with the new collection from Simply Be. Christened the ‘Must Haves’ collection, this is a plus size range that is both fashion forward and flattering. It seems that Simply Be have totally understood the needs of curvy girls who want to enhance, rather than hide, their assets, but also want to disguise those parts that we are not so pleased with. Hence the collection has dresses that actually have shape, with nipped in waistbands and knee-length skirts, but also have sleeves to hide the bingo wings. There are peplum dresses in stretchy fabric and fishtail tops that come in vibrant eye-catching colours that look great over…

The Adele Dress from Swan By Clements Ribeiro
When I was asked to pick my favourite piece from the Swan collection by Clements Ribeiro for Evans, I must admit to being truly spoilt for choice. I adore so many of the looks, including the beautiful Salome dress, which is still my true favourite, but I also found myself wishing that I tried on the Grace dress when I’d had the opportunity at the Bloggers day, and wondering if this dress might be the perfect every occasion dress for the festive season. The background to the Grace dress is simple. Clements Ribeiro are one of the singer Adele’s favourite design duos, so much so that she asked them to…
