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!!!

Hello lovies,

My favourite pieces this summer/autumn seem to be maxi skirts. I have managed to get a few more these past month, so you will most definitely see more of them here, and more PU tops too – you’ve been warned ;). This beauty is from Primark, and it was reduced to £5.. bargainnnn! It has a PU waistband, and it blends in nicely with this Lovedrobe top.

Are maxi skirts something that you like?

Top*: 26, Lovedrobe (more sizes available at New Look) | Skirt: 20, Primark | Boots: Evans | Bag: Forever 21 (similar at ASOS) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Rimmel London Kate Moss shade 110

Paita*: 26 UK, Lovedrobe (enemmän kokoja tarjolla New Lookissa) | Hame: 20 UK, Primark | Saappaat: Evans | Laukku: Forever 21 (saman tyylinen ASOSilla) | Rillit: Select Specs | Huulipuna: Rimmel London Kate Moss sävy 110

Moikka!

Mun lempivaatteita tänä kesänä/syksynä on ehdottomasti maxihameet. Olen viimeisen kuukauden aikana onnistunut haalimaan niitä lisää, joten varautukaa siihen, että tulette näkemään sekä niitä että tekonahkaisia paitoja täällä blogissa suhteellisen paljon ;). Tämän asun ihana hame oli Primarkissa ALENNUKSESSA, eli hinnaksi tuli hurjat 5 puntaa! Hameessa on tekonahkainen vyötärönauha, joten se sulautuu tähän Lovedroben paitaan loistavasti.

Tykkäättekö te maxihameista?

Hello my lovelies,

It’s time for Fatshion Faceoff again! If you’re new to the blog, please see here what Fatshion Faceoff is about :). This week’s item was chosen by Mhairi, and she chose ‘shoe boots’.

I own only one pair, so this was an easy choice for me. I teamed my pair with my sheer maxi dress (wore it as a skirt) from Forever 21, and my new My Little Pony crop top! I didn’t even play with My Little Ponies much when I was a kid, but I still HAD TO HAVE this top, haha. Gotta love Primark ;).

Crop top: 18, Primark | Maxi dress (worn as a skirt): 3X, Forever 21+ | Shoeboots: Evans | Socks: gift from friend | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Rimmel London Kate Moss shade 110

‘Napapaita’: 18 UK, Primark | Maxi mekko (tässä asussa hameena): 3X, Forever 21+ | ‘Kenkäsaappaat’: Evans | Sukat: lahja kaverilta | Rillit: Select Specs | Huulipuna: Rimmel London Kate Moss sävy 110

Heipparallaa!

Nyt olis jälleen Fatshion Faceoffin aika. Jos et ole vielä tietoinen tästä ‘projektista’ jota teen 4 muun plussa-bloggaajan kanssa, niin lisätietoa (englanniksi) löytyy täältä. Tämän viikon teemaksi Mhairi valitsi ‘Kenkäsaappaat’. Yritin Mimmiltä kysellä, että miksikä tällaisia kenkiä Suomessa kutsutaan. Nämä kun ei ole peruskorkkarit, eikä nilkkasaappaatkaan.. englanniksi nämä on siis ‘kenkäsaappaat’, joten tämä saa heittomerkeissä nyt kelvata ;).

Mulla on vain yksi pari tällaisia kenkiä, joten ei ainakaan tullut valinnan vaikeutta. Yhdistin kenkiin Forever 21+ maxi mekkoni, tosin käytin sitä tässä hameena ja puin yläosan päälle mun uuden My Little Pony- ‘napapaidan’. Siis en edes leikkinyt My Little Ponyillä paljon lapsena, mutta tämä paita oli PAKKO SAADA!

Autumn is officially here, time to start wearing boots and jackets/coats and knitwear. I was the one who was waiting for summer and didn’t want it to end, but dressing for autumn makes me excited :)!

My lovely friend Isha and I went to Evans Marble Arch for a Curvy Street Style event yesterday, and here’s the outfit that I wore. By the way I got these boots from Evans a few weeks ago, and I LOVE them so much. I bet they will be on my feet most of this autumn ;).

I posted my Plus North: Day look a few days ago, and now it’s time for me to show you my evening look. I wore my shirt dress from ASOS Curve, that I had only worn once before (and as a casual look). I love this dress, it’s simple, but has gorgeous details. And since I had my hair and makeup done for the Scarlett & Jo -catwalk (more about that later), the whole outfit looked fab – so I have to send a huge THANK YOUUUU  to Team S&J for the super lovely hair and makeup look!

Dress: 26, ASOS Curve (similarish at ASOS Curve: 1, 2) | Shoeboots: Evans (same with studs) | Pearl necklace: New Look (similar at Simply Be) | Bow ring: Forever 21 (similar at Forever 21 US, New Look) | Glasses: Select Specs

Like most of you surely know, Plus North was held this past weekend. It was lovely seeing a huge room full of plus-size women embrace who they are and enjoying themselves and fashion. The event was amazingly organised by Becky and Toni, so huge thank you to them :)! I was feeling a bit down as I was ill on Thursday and Friday, but it was really lovely to see some of my fave blogger babes again, and of course to talk to some brands, old and new :).

So, here’s the outfit I wore during the day-event. I went for comfort, but wanted to feel cute as well.. and this dress never fails me in that department. It was odd to pose in front of something so huge that I had designed myself (the stands), but of course I had to take my outfit pics in front of them ;)

Denim vest: 1x, Forever 21+ | Dress: 22, ASOS Curve | Cami*: Camlettes | Bag: Forever 21 | Shoes: Torrid (gift from Mouna) | Glasses: Select Specs | Necklace: Evans | Elephant bangle: Forever 21 | Rings: ASOS Curve & Forever 21 | Lippy: Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids in Orange Edge

I introduced you to Junarose a few posts ago, and told you about the fact that I was chosen as one of the brand ambassadors for the brand (see the post here). I was really excited to receive my first items, and these were the two items I got:

Combat longsleeved top & North dip dye highwaisted skinny jeans

Before receiving them I was a bit worried about that zip being at the back of the jeggings, but in the ones that I got it was on the side. I guess the images on the online shop are of samples and some details have changed after that – and in this case I’m so happy about that fact! So let me tell you.. THE JEGGINGS ARE AMAZING!!! I have relatively skinny ankles comparing to my hips/belly area, so I haven’t been able to find any skinny jeans that are actually SKINNY around my ankles too.. until now. And the fact that they are highwaisted make them fit me better and they feel so comfy too. These jeggings are seriously dreamy, and I will want this North-style in every colourway – on top of my wishlist are these new gorgeous ones (need to start saving now.. haha)!

The top unfortunately was too big for me on the shoulders/sleeves and a bit awkward around my hip area. But since this was the first time of trying Junarose for me, I’ll know in the future to get a smaller size in tops (my own size that is, as I sized up this time – silly me). I hope the outfit still works, even though the top looks a bit funny on me. I teamed up the pieces with nude accessories and bright lipstick, but black or bright accessories would definitely look great too. These jeggings really make me wait for colder weather and teaming them up with jumpers and blazers etc etc. You will definitely see these on the blog again ;)!

Top*: XXL, Junarose | Jeggings*: 54, Junarose | Bag: Forever 21 (similar at ASOS) | Heels: Matalan (similar at Evans, New Look) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids in Fuchsia Flash (UK link, US link)

Seems like it’s been AGES that I have done an outfit post using pics that are not a part of a challenge or weren’t taken months ago! And that is actually true. So finally, something new, and something that I wore to work that day and felt cute in :). I’ve had the flower headband for a while, but for some reason haven’t worn it. You’ve seen this dress on the blog already (here), but since it is one of my favourites I wanted to think of ways to make it more casual. The headband, dress and shoes are all very cutesy, but I think the denim vest brings a certain roughness to it all and makes it a casual outfit.

Denim vest: 1x, Forever 21+ (denim jackets at Forever 21+, Evans) | Dress*: 24, Project D for Simply Be | Shoes: Red Herring at Debenhams (pink peeptoes at ASOS) | Headband: Primark (similar at ASOS) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch (UK link, US link)

Here comes the last of my FFFW posts.. the outfit that I wore to the afterparty. Dani and I started the party in a pub near the afterparty venue, the pub was cosy and a bit weird too: they had Churchill’s speeches on speaker in the toilets :D! We enjoyed our pints of cider and then went to the afterparty. We stayed there for about 15 minutes, and came back to the pub, haha! We are such grannies, that we wanted to have our ciders and sit down and talk, instead of standing with our fancy cocktails and not hear a thing. Grannies for the win ;). Mouna, Olivia and their other halves joined us later and we ended up having a fun last evening in the city. (I miss you ladies!)

I wore this amazing prom dress from Scarlett & Jo, and I absolutely LOVE it. I felt so cute and girly, and I recommend this dress to everyone – the shape of it is perfect, I believe it would suit all bodyshapes.

Dress*: 24, Scarlett & Jo | Clutch: Accessorize (similar at Debenhams) | Shoes*: Evans (similarish at Evans) | Bracelets: Forever 21, Evans, *Lane Bryant | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids in Fuchsia Flash (UK link, US link)

On our last full day in NYC Dani wanted to go to explore Central Park, and while she was there Mouna and I went… SHOPPING! I can imagine how surprised you are right now, haha ;). I still haven’t worn most of my purchases from that day, except the peplum dress, so you will surely see some of those here in the future.

It was a HOT day and after shopping I met Dani for photos and some refreshing passion ice tea from Starbucks (love that stuff!), and here are the results :)

Top*: 24, Live Unlimited | Shorts: 26, New Look Inspire (similar at ASOS Curve) | Bag: Forever 21 (similar at ASOS) | Sandals: Evans (similar at ASOS) | Necklace: Primark (similarish at Forever 21: 1, 2, 3) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline ColorSensational Vivids in Fuchsia Flash (UK link, US link)

After the photos Dani and I made our way back to our flat and started getting ready for the afterparty. That post is still coming and will be the last NYC outfit post (except for one that I’m saving for later).. that kind of makes me sad. I want to go back!
