AD - GIFTED  

Items in the post were gifted to me for a review, all experiences, opinions and thoughts are my own. Please see my disclaimer for more information. 

Looking for supportive and sexy lingerie as a plus size gal can be a bit of a nightmare sometimes so its always lovely to find a brand that caters for us bigger bust & bigger bum customers. IDentity Lingerie is a small family run business based in Lincolnshire, UK. Their products are ethnically handmade in Europe using high quality fabrics and they pride themselves on being environmentally friendly due to not overstocking items and using sustainable materials. 

I was kindly gifted a couple of items to review and I was blown away upon opening my parcel, the fabric quality is beautiful; you can really feel these are handmade items. 

This supportive bralette is beautifully hand crafted with a long lace trim under the bust, adjustable straps and cross back strap detail. I was pleasantly surprised at how supportive a bralette could be for me, I take a 40D/42C (depending on the store) and need some support and I never thought I’d be able to wear a bralette like this and feel comfortable. This style comes in a choice of colours to suit all styles and ranges from a size S to XXL (perfect for A-F cups). You’ll see there is a matching knicker too!

Now what’s more sexy than a silk dressing gown? Well I’d never had a silk dressing gown until now and I’m so happy that this is a plus size silk dressing gown that fits me perfectly! Not only do I feel amazing in this gown but just like the bralette I can feel the handmade quality; it’s luxurious! This gown is short in length but still covers everything, has a secure inside tie and a silk slip tie for around my waist. The wide lace detail on the arms and hem is just beautiful and has that high end feel to me. 

Wearing the whole set makes me feel supported in all the right areas and gives me confidence to feel beautiful and be myself! The quality is key for me, I’m over the moon with the lovely fabrics used to create these beautiful pieces. 

Lastly I’d like to mention that over the past months during the pandemic IDentity Lingerie have been making face coverings to help everyone stay safe. These are made from silky fabric in a range of colours, I of-course went for a purple one. Why not have luxury face coverings to match your underwear! 

It's time for another festival outfit share, as I've said in my previous posts, I can't wait for my next festivals, May, June and August are looking amazing at the moment. If I'm lucky I'll fit in another festival in July as well but I've not booked anything yet. I think this outfit is a good chill day outfit when your mooching around the campsite, shopping at the stalls or partying in the evenings. You can mix it up with different footwear, belts or tees and throwing a bumbag across body will complete the festival look more so!


Primark has been one of my favourite stores pretty much forever (since they were a thing anyway) and they've got some amazing spring/summer items in now with all the festival wear you can think of. This snake print midi dress was a sale pick up, £7.00 reduced from £15.00 and the print also comes in a skirt, vest top and bumbag.


I wouldn't tend to wear this style of dress on its own so pairing it with a tee underneath is totally on trend and makes the dress easy to wear for lots of occasions not just festivals. This black mesh tee is from Simply Be, it's long sleeved but breathable and cool and quite long in length if you wanted to wear this with other outfits.

Who hasn't got a western themed belt this season??? This was another Primark bargain at just £5.00 its the cheapest I've seen on the high street. The buckle does open from each end so it's adjustable even though it is one size, I've added this to many outfits since buying it and it can also be worn on jeans but you do have to undo both buckles for this. If you just want a single buckle western belt, Simply Be has a similar one here.


I finished the outfit off with a River Island bucket bag which has snake print detail on the strap so matches my dress perfectly; my sister gave me this bag so was a freebie. My boots are from Koi Footwear, I featured these in my last festival post but they are so comfortable, I've had them on so much and I think they are definitely a festival fashion piece. Fancy treating yourself to a pair of Koi Boots, grab yourself a 30% discount with my referral link here.

There's a few festivals that this outfit may not be suitable for but if the weather holds up like it did bank holiday weekend then we are laughing! What outfits will you be wearing this summer?

The glorious weather this bank holiday weekend has really got me ready for festival season! Although my first festival of the year was last month, that was a pretty small venue and all indoors so I'm really looking forward to May for Slam Dunk Festival. Ahead of the summer festivals I like to explore the new festival fashion in my favourite stores and from my favourite brands; Primark has done pretty well this season and I've picked up some awesome pieces.


Some of Primark's festival pieces are included in the beachwear section which is where I picked up this mesh tee. It's printed, long and t-shirt style so can be worn in all kind of ways; throw it over your swimwear for a cover up, add some denim shorts underneath with a vest top or like I have done here add a leotard underneath for a true festival style look. This was only £6.00 too so it's a bargain!

The leotard doubles up as some chub rub pants for me so it's perfect for the warmer weather and being on my feet all day. I like to feel comfortable and be myself as much as possible when I'm out enjoying myself and I truly feel like myself in this outfit!


Footwear is pretty important for festivals as you need something comfortable, weather proof and of course fashionable so I've picked up some new Koi Footwear Vespasian boots which have an Alien detail on the upper foot with chains and a yellow trim plus they are flatforms so perfect for gaining a little bit of height in the festival crowd.


Wearing glasses can be a little bit of pain sometimes when I have to switch up to my sunglasses but now I've been using the Le Kevin* glasses holder which means I can keep my distance glasses around my neck whilst wearing my sunnies. The Le Kevin glasses holder is made from real leather and comes in a range of colours, I think this orange shade is great for summer season and goes well with my fashion style.


All together with this outfit and the sunshine I was feeling really good and body positive this weekend and hope to bring that to the festivals I'm attending during the next few months.

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.

Halloween is nearly here guys and I'm so ready for the spooky weekend to start, its my favourite time of year and I've always celebrated it from being a kid. My alternative style is somewhat a Halloween hit but I'm a little weird all year round so when I saw Jawbreaker's new Autumn/Winter range at London Edge in September I was super excited about the all the new clothing and accessories they had to offer.


I've worked with Jawbreaker on my blog before where I featured the Alchemy Skater Dress, Middle Finger bag and the Mini Skull hoodie. The team kindly sent me a new dress and parasol to style up in time for Halloween and I have gone for an American Horror Story Coven vibe which I enjoyed shooting so much.


The Homicidal Manic dress* is absolutely perfect for a Halloween look and for my wardrobe, an all year around look. Instantly the dress reminded me of AHS season 3 - Coven, the scene of the witches walking down the street with the umbrellas was in my head straight away and I wanted to create a look based around this theme. As well as the dress Jawbreaker gifted me the Gothic Lace Parasol* which as you can tell works so well with the outfit!


This dress is the main focus in my outfit and really brings the witch vibe into play, with the white ruffle collar against the black dress and 3/4 length sleeves; it's screaming I'm in a coven!!! I found the dress to be so comfortable to wear and it fits well too, the button up fastening makes it easy to get on and off and the buttonstand adds to the dress as a feature. Around the top of the dress are ruffles which I think add some girlishness to the dress but yet still holding onto that gothic theme. As the dress gathers in at the waist it really adds that hourglass shape whilst not being tight at all, the sleeves are also gathered and sit just covering my elbow which is very flattering too.


I paired the dress with my Dr Martens X Lazy Oaf Jungle Boots which I've pretty much worn every week since I got them last year and I added the Coven themed hat which I picked up in H&M a couple of years ago; its actually from one of their Coachella collections.


Lastly I added one of my favourite bags, the Neve backpack from Disturbia Clothing, this bag has so much room in it and with the extra wide straps it sits comfortably on my shoulders even when the bag is full. Also it has harness straps around the bottom of the back which go around my waist, these are an unique extra.
