Hello my lovies,

I’m sure most of you know that last weekend was the weekend of Plus London 3. I had Mimmi staying with me for the weekend, and since neither of us was feeling too well (damn flu), we didn’t go to the event for the whole day. When we got to Shoreditch we had lunch with Mouna and her hubby, and then went to the venue. Even though we weren’t there for the whole day, from what we could see, it was all lovely, and the organisers Claire, Isha, Kirsty, Lauren and Michelle did an amazing job! I had a great time chatting with old and new blogger friends, and it was lovely to see the girls from Curvy Kate and Simply Be again :).

And of course Mimmi and I had to take outfit photos when we were walking to the venue. Shoreditch is an area with lots of lovely street art, and there’s endless amazing backgrounds for photos! By the way, this top and skirt were my fave ASOS sale bargains. The t-shirt is from the ASOS main range (sadly sold out) and it was £8, and this kilt-type skirt is just awesome, and it’s still available here in all Curve sizes for only £8.50!

Coat*: 24, So Fabulous (similar at ASOS Curve) | Top: 18, ASOS (grey t-shirt at ASOS Curve) | Skirt: 26, ASOS Curve | Tights: 22-26, Yours Clothing | Boots: Evans | Bag*: F&F | Bracelets: Lane Bryant*, Evans | Rings: Forever 21 | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in Brazen Berry

Takki*: 24 UK, So Fabulous (saman tyylinen ASOS Curvella) | T-paita: 18 UK, ASOS (harmaa t-paita ASOS Curvella) | Hame: 26 UK, ASOS Curve | Sukkikset: 22-26, Yours Clothing | Saappaat: Evans | Laukku*: F&F | Rannekorut: Lane Bryant*, Evans | Sormukset: Forever 21 | Rillit: Select Specs | Huulipuna: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in Brazen Berry

Heissan!

Viime viikonloppuna Mimmi oli täällä kylässä, ja shoppauksen ja asukuvamaratonien välissä me käytiin myös Plus London 3 -tapahtumassa. Tavattiin ensin Mouna ja hänen miehensä ja käytiin lounaalla The Dinerissä (josta Mimmi postasi). Tämän jälkeen sitten mentiin iltapäiväksi itse tapahtumaan. Oli kiva nähdä bloggaajakavereita, ja tehdä myös uusia tuttavuuksia. Ja tykkään aina vähän turista Curvy Katen ja Simply Ben tyttöjen kanssa – ihania tyyppejä :)!

Tapahtuma oli Shoreditchissä, joka on Lontoon ‘hipster-aluetta’. Seiniltä löytyy paljon makeita graffiteja ja maalauksia, joten tietysti otettiin Mimmin kanssa asukuvat matkalla tapahtumaan. Mun asusta löytyi aiemmin sillä viikolla ostaneeni ale-löydöt ASOSilta, t-paita maksoi vaan 8 puntaa (on jo loppuunmyyty), mutta ihanaa kilttimäistä hametta löytyy täältä vielä kaikissa Curve-koissa.. ja hinta on huimat 8,50 puntaa!!!

Once again it’s Wednesday, and I’m sure you know it’s Fatshion Faceoff time! If you’re new to the blog, please see here what Fatshion Faceoff is about :). This week’s item was chosen by Dani, and she chose a cosy jumper.

I’m quite obsessed with jumpers nowadays, the bigger the better, but sadly I haven’t found too many that I love. One of them is this oversized Joe Browns jumper from Simply Be though, and I have worn it loads. This time I teamed it up with floral leggings from Tesco F&F, and added bling with this Evans necklace and glittery flats from Matalan. And as usual, finished with red lippy :).

Jumper*: 24/26, Joe Browns at Simply Be | Leggings: 24, Tesco F&F (floral leggings at Simply Be, monochrome leggings at ASOS Curve) | Shoes: Matalan (silver ballets at ASOS) | Necklace: Evans | Glasses*: Four Eyes | Lippy: Barry M Sunset Red

Now let’s go see what kind of cosy jumpers the other girls found from their closets :)

Dani: DIY Fatshion (USA)
Mhairi: Lilybobombs Lovely Lumps (UK)
Mouna: Brussels Fatshion (Belgium)
Olivia: Wait Until The Sunset (Australia)

After a few week’s break it is Double Vision time again! In this challenge my amazing friend Dani and I are choosing a theme, item, movie character.. whatever we come up with basically, and style those our own way and post at the same time, more about the challenge here. This week’s theme was chosen by me, and I chose ‘Jeans & t-shirt’. Now this is something that Dani wears a lot, but I wear basically never, so it was more of a challenge to me, haha ;).

I wish I could wear jeans more, but I feel uncomfortable sitting all day at work in them. I should start wearing them more on the weekends though, as I really like this look I came up with. (Sorry for the sick and tired looking face..)

Jacket: 22, F&F at Tesco (tuxedo jacket at Macy’s, lace jacket at Evans) | T-shirt: 26, So Fabulous via eBay (similar at ASOS Curve: 1, 2) | Jeans: 24, F&F True at Tesco (similar at ASOS Curve) | Booties*: Luxury Rebel at Shopbop (same in burgundy at Bloomingdale’s, similar at ASOS: 1, 2) | Glasses: LensWay (similar at Select Specs) | Necklace: Primark (awesome spiked necklaces at Boohoo and New Look: 1, 2) | Lippy: MAC Viva Glam Nicki

Now let’s click to DIY Fatshion and see Dani’s outfit – I bet she looks babely!

The Evans giveaways (styling session & a £100 outfit here, and £100 to spend on Scarlett & Jo here) are still going on, but are you ready for the next one..?

So, you can win a pair of Minnetonka suede moccasins of your choice – WHOOO! This is a brand that I am VERY excited to be working with, since I absolutely adore their products. I got my first pair of Minnetonka’s from New York last year, and they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. And that is the absolute truth! So cute shoes that are also comfy – what’s not to love?!

And since the Minnetonka guys are so amazing, I also got a pair for myself, and I went for the Tramper ankle boot in Dusty brown. I teamed them up with denim shirt and shorts, and a green parka, to create some ‘festival chic’. This outfit is perfect for walks in the park and relaxing days, and I can’t wait to have some lovely outdoor times in these cute boots! I love how comfy the boots are, and the suede is so soft. Just a tip though.. I sized down for them, since suede gives in a bit after wearing.

Parka: 24, F&F True at Clothing at Tesco (similar at ASOS Curve, similar at New Look Inspire) | Shirt: 26, ASOS Curve (similar at New Look Inspire, similar at Forever 21+, similar at Very) | Shorts: 26, ASOS Curve | Boots*: Minnetonka UK (US link) | Tights: E, We Love Colors | Necklace: gift from Dani (similar, similar) | Glasses: LensWay (similar at Select Specs)

So, what do you need to do to enter? First of all you need to live in the UK (sorry my international readers). Then fill in the Rafflecopter below.. like Minnetonka UK’s Facebook page, follow them on Twitter, and leave me a comment which pair suede moccasins is your favourite (Women’s / Men’s – and please note that the non-suede ones are not applicable for this giveaway). You can also get a few extra entries if you like my Facebook page and follow me on Twitter, but these are not mandatory. That is all, nice and easy – so get entering :)!
