Sometimes all you need is a good outfit to change your mood... and that's exactly what I have here with this colourful, sassy and comfortable number. I'd say the majority of my wardrobe is black but I do like to throw in some colour and when I do I think bright and wonderful.


Recently UK Tights got in touch and were kind enough to send me a couple of pairs of *Pamela Mann's new Specialist Tights for the Curvy Figure. I was really excited to get the tights to try them on after having had trouble finding comfortable and good fitting tights in the past. I actually really like Pamela Mann as a brand and UK Tights are absolutely wonderful in delivering the best quality brands on their site.


UK Tights have many colours in stock of these super-stretch tights that actually fit in all the right places, from the first time putting them on I was impressed and felt like I could move around freely; not worrying about my tights falling down around my waist or between my legs. Instead the stretch technology allows for full movements, comfort and a fantastic style! This pair is the Cerise colour and I also have the Charcoal to wear throughout winter with all my favourite skirts and dresses.


I went out after receiving the tights and picked out the perfect outfit to go with the Cerise pair. Primark's Autumn/Winter ranges have been amazing this year and they recently released a collection with Stacey Solomon, I was instantly drawn to the leopard print dot skirt. It's a little flowy than I would usually go for but I absolutely love the print and the green background colour is beautiful. Pairing it with the £4.00 slogan tee also from the collection, the tee makes a statement saying 'Living my best Life'. The Cerise tights contrast the green skirt and completely stand out in the best way possible!!!


Of course adding more Leopard print is a Gem thing to do and everyone pretty much knows that now, I picked up these basic boots also from Primark and thought what the hell with it; I will wear what I want and how I want it. Lastly with the cold weather and the Pamela Mann tights keeping my legs warm I added a good old coat that I picked up last year from LOTD; pretty sure this was was a sale pick up too.


So I am going to be basically living in these tights all winter and I'm sure I can find some more colourful pieces of clothing to pair them with.

Now I cannot tell you how many times I have shot this outfit! I've just not loved the photos, not because of the clothes mind as I've had this Jawbreaker Boyfriend Shirt* on so much since I received it but just because sometimes the shots don't come out as you wanted them too; am I right bloggers?


Anyway as we all know I've been a fan of Jawbreaker Clothing for ages now and have been lucky enough to work with them on my blog so here is my latest addition to my wardrobe. I first spotted this shirt at London Edge in September and instantly fell in love with it, the detailing on the back is just beautiful and so unique. It adds so much more to a plain black shirt and because its on the back and not the front it's more different than other brands.


Since I've shot the shirt a couple of times, I've worn it with a few outfits all of which have an alternative edge to them and are totally my style. It's now a stable in my wardrobe and a go to piece that's easy to wear. One of my first outfits wearing the shirt I decided to pair it with some wet-look leggings which I think matches the detail on the back of the shirt.

To complete my outfit I added my Strange Cvlt Slime Creepers, Disturbia bag and black beret which I've attached a couple of Punky Pin's to the front. Overall this outfit can be worn daily or with a few tweaks would be comfortable and perfect for a night out; maybe just throw on some heeled boots and loose the beret. Another new piece of clothing that I've been wearing a lot lately is this Marks & Spencer coat* which I was gifted to wear at Curve Fashion Festival. It works well with everything because of the colour and square stitch detail that just adds that detail and style to the coat.


Another day, another outfit and out comes the Jawbreaker shirt* again but this time a different pair of leggings and another coat. The shirt works really well with any leggings or even your favourite black jeans then grab your Dr Martens and boom an alternative outfit that turns heads. As you see my hair needs a refresh here too but the orange colour makes the yellow in the coat stand out.

With lots of options to wear the shirt with and that hint of details on the back grabs peoples attention and makes them look closer. I personally really like how the sleeves fit too, with a little room then the button cuff gives the shirt some more shape and a stylish look. I also added another alternative branded bag to this outfit, with my Jelly Jolly Bag which I've been using as a cross body bag rather than a backpack.

Are you thinking about summer? I am! The beautiful sunny weather we've had lately and today I didn't even need a jacket, yes for warmer weather, yes for sunshine and yes for summer plans; who's with me?

If you caught my last couple of fashion posts you'll of seen that I featured a couple of Lindy Bop dresses and I have my final instalment from that short series here. I'm truly grateful to Lindy Bop for sending me the dresses over and have really enjoyed putting together these blog posts and photoshoots; I hope there will be other opportunities in the future. I also discussed with Sophie from Lindy Bop about interviewing her at London Edge in September so I hope that can go ahead as well.


So I think I've saved the most summery dress of the lot til last and I think its perfect timing to show you the *Brittany Pink Verona Print Love Heart Swing Dress in all it's glory and how I've styled this dress with my alternative personal style. The dress has an amazing print that's got a very romantic theme to it in my opinion with the city buildings, roses, tattoo style heart print and text. My favourite parts of the print is the swallows carrying the hearts across the top of the dress and the bright red roses on the bottom of the dress, both of these are just small details within the full print and the closer you look at the dress the more you see. You can get lost within the print and create your own love story by just looking at it.

This dress was the first dress to catch my eye on the London Edge Catwalk back in February not only because of the heart shaped back detail but the print really stood out to me. I'm actually visiting the romantic city of Paris in October and I've already got this dress on my packing list and can't wait to wear it around Paris and Disneyland.


Lindy Bop dresses are always true to size and comfortable to wear, this 'Brittany' style dress is shaped perfectly for my body type; it goes in at the waist, has a flared out skirt that doesn't necessarily need an underskirt/tutu and the cap sleeves fit snugly but comfortably. If I was to wear this dress to a wedding or event I would wear a tutu underneath to enhance the shape of the dress and give my look a more glamorous feel but I think the dress stands up for itself alone for a party look or everyday style. The dress is made from Lindy Bop's special matte finish stretch poly fabric which adds to the comfort of the fit and gives the dress a beautiful shine so the print really stands out. Getting in and out of the dress is also super easy with a concealed underarm zip and 3 cute button fastenings at the top of the heart shaped back detail.


Of course I always like to add my style to any outfit and wearing a pretty dress isn't my everyday style but it sure could be. I added one of my faux leather jackets to this look which helped with the occasional cool breeze whilst I was out shooting. I choose to wear my Black Embroidered Western Boots that I bought from Misguided after Christmas, I thought the rose detail on the boots matched the rose detail on the dress whilst the studs added my grunge style to the outfit. I absolutely love these boots and Misguided have become a favourite place to shop for me, their customer service is on point and they always have amazing deals on. I did find I had to go up a size with these boots because they are pointed but are a good and comfortable fit still.


Lastly I can't go into Primark lately without a new bag catching my eye so I had to buy this Pale Pink Crossbody bag. I thought the swallow bird detail on the clasp totally went with the swallow print on the dress and was the main reason I bought the bag; at just £7.00 I thought it was a bargain too. I don't really feel like the bag looks like a cheap bag nor does it feel like one; the bags quality is top notch for the budget price. The stitching is good, fastening is easy to use, the strap is strong and holds the bag well and finally the buckle detail looks hard wearing. I've been using this bag for a few days now and can fit all my belongings inside that I need on a daily basis including my full size purse, keys, hand gel, mirror, lipstick and a pen.


My full outfit really shows my personalty I think, I may have a pretty dress on but I can still be my alternative styled self and look good doing so. I also wanted my makeup to stand out by wearing a bad ass red lipstick again adding to my personal style and red lipstick is something I wear regularly; I'm quite comfortable wearing an intense red shade and you can't go wrong with a red lip in my opinion.

If you've got a wedding to go to, an event to attend or just want a new summer dress then I would recommend you check out Lindy Bop, they cater for sizes 8 to 26 and have so many styles to suit everyone.
