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 Dani, and she chose a maxi skirt.

I’m OBSESSED with maxi skirts at the moment, and I even bought two maxi dresses from New Look sale, and cut them into maxi skirts. This skirt is one of them, and the top is DIY too, as it is a dress from Primark that I cut into a top. The pics were taken when I was in Finland.. proper fashion victim moment, standing in a muddy field in a pleather top and long maxi skirt ;)

Top: 20, Primark (cut from a dress) | Skirt: 24, New Look Inspire (cut from a dress) | Boots: Evans | Necklace: Evans | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Rimmel London Kate Moss shade 110

Paita: 20 UK, Primark (leikattu mekosta) | Hame: 24 UK, New Look Inspire (leikattu mekosta) | Bootsit: Evans | Kaulakoru: Evans | Rillit: Select Specs | Huulipuna: Rimmel London Kate Moss sävy 110

Heippa!

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 Dani valitsi maxihameen.

Mä olen nykyisin aivan hullaantunut maxihameisiin. Ostin jopa New Lookin alesta kaksi maximekkoa, jotka leikkasin hameiksi! Tämä on näistä hameista toinen, ja myös paita on tee-se-itse, sillä se on leikattu Primarkin mekosta. Kuvat on otettu kuukauden takaisella Suomen reissulla.. kunnon muodin uhri olen, tekonahkapaidassa ja pitkässä maxihameessa mutaisella pellolla ;)!

Hello my lovies,

So, like you might have seen on blogs last week, Simply Be held an event for bloggers to meet Gok Wan and see his new shapewear and lingerie range up close. I saw people planning outfits on Twitter, and I got slightly panicky as I hadn’t given my outfit much thought. I ended up wearing some of my current fave pieces, and I hope it was ok for ‘the stylish one’ :)! Haha. At the event itself I was feeling tired and grumpy, it was really warm at the room. Gok himself asked me a few times if I was alright. Oops, sometimes my grumpy and socially awkward Finnish personality comes out too much I guess. Funny thing is, Mimmi and I saw Gok at the pub yesterday by accident.. we chatted a bit and I think I finally managed to convince him that I was indeed alright back on Weds :D!

In this outfit you can also see the Isabel & Ruben Toledo for Lane Bryant tote bag, it’s so cute isn’t it?! My Toledo t-shirt giveaway has now ended, and the winner was Hayley :). In case you want to buy it, it is available now.

Jacket: 24, New Look Inspire via ASOS | Top: 28, ASOS Curve | Skirt: 26, Simply Be | Tights: 22-26, Yours Clothing | Ankle boots*: Simply Be | Bag*: Lane Bryant | Glasses: Select Specs | Necklace: gift from Dani (similar at ASOS) | Lippy: Rimmel London Kate Moss shade 110

Takki: 24 UK, New Look Inspire ASOSilta | Paita: 28 UK, ASOS Curve | Hame: 26 UK, Simply Be (saman tyylinen Pink Clovella) | Sukkikset: 22-26 UK, Yours Clothing | Nilkkasaappaat*: Simply Be | Laukku*: Lane Bryant | Rillit: Select Specs | Kaulakoru: lahja Danilta (saman tyylinen ASOSilla) | Huulipuna: Rimmel London Kate Moss shade 110

Heippa!

Niinkuin olette saattaneet nähdä muissa blogeissa, Simply Be kutsui brittibloggaajia koolle viime keskiviikkona. Illan aikana saatiin tavata Gok Wan, ja tutustua herran uuteen muotoilevien alusvaatteiden mallistoon. Muut bloggerit tuntuivat puhuvan Twitterissä jo paljon aiemmin siitä, mitä aikovat laittaa päälle tilaisuuteen, mutta itselläni oli sitten paniikki vasta samana päivänä. Päädyin pukeutumaan vaatteisiin jotka on aikalailla mun lemppareita tällä hetkellä, ja toivottavasti tämä asu kelpasi ‘herra tyylikkäälle’ ;). Itse tapahtumassa olin väsynyt ja kärttyinen, paljolti johtuen siitä, että huoneessa oli ihan järkyttävän kuuma. Gok itse tuli kysymään multa pariin otteeseen että ‘oletko varmasti ok?’. Hiukan hävetti, mutta en osannut siellä piilottaa megasosiaalisia tilanteita ja small talkia välttävää suomalaista luonnettani kunnolla, haha. Mutta kävipä eilen sitten hassu sattuma.. oltiin Mimmin kanssa pubissa sidulla ja syömässä, ja eikös herra Wan kävele samaan pubiin sisään :D! Hän muisti minut, ja toivottavasti tällä kertaa sain hänet uskomaan, että olin todellakin ihan ok. Hullua, pieni tämä maailma.

Tässä asussa näette myös Lane Bryantin Isabel & Ruben Toledo -malliston laukun, ja eikös olekin söpö? Mahdollisuutesi voittaa saman malliston paita on jo valitettavasti loppunut, ja voittaja oli Hayley. Jos kuitenkin haluat ostaa paidan, se on nyt myynnissä.

Hello my lovelies,

These past few weeks have reminded me on the fact that I love autumn! I love the darker colours coming back, and I even love wearing leggings and tights again :D!

I made an order to Evans last week after seeing these amazing booties. And of course I had to add this sheer, floral shirt to my basket too. The colours of the shirt are gorgeous, and the outfit just fell perfectly into its fresh, but autumnal shape when I added the velvet leggings and bright purple lipstick.

Shirt: 26, Evans | Leggings: 24, New Look Inspire (similar at Debenhams & Chubby Cartwheels) | Ankle boots: Evans | Necklace: Primark (similar at River Island) | Bag: Primark (similar at River Island) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in Brazen Berry (sadly not available in Europe)

Have you made new, autumnal purchases yet? If not, then check out Evans. I really love these pieces I got, and here are a few more AW13 looks from them, modelled by the super cute Lisa Riley :)!

Heippa!

Viime päivät on muistuttaneet mua siitä, kuinka paljon rakastan syksyä! Kaipaan Suomesta kaunista ruskaa (jopa Etelä-Suomessa on sitä paljon enemmän kuin täällä), mutta muodin syksyyn vaihtuvat tummat värit helpottaa oloa :). Kesäisin rakastan kulkea paljain säärin, mutta näin syksyn tullen jopa leggingsien ja sukkiksien käyttäminen on taas ihanaa!

Tein viime viikolla tilauksen Evansille, ja näiden mega-ihanien bootsien lisäksi tilasin tän läpinäkyvän kukkapaidan. Paidan värit on kauniit ja pirtsakat, mutta silti syksyiset, ja kiva syksyinen asu oli valmis, kun lisäsin samettileggingsit ja kirkkaan violetin huulipunan.

Paita: 54, Evans | Leggingsit: 24 UK, New Look Inspire (saman tyyliset Debenhamsilla & Chubby Cartwheelsilla) | Bootsit: Evans | Kaulakoru: Primark (saman tyylinen River Islandilla) | Laukku: Primark (saman tyylinen River Islandilla) | Rillit: Select Specs | Huulipuna: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids sävy Brazen Berry (valitettavasti ei saa Euroopasta)

Oletteko jo tehneet syksyisiä vaateostoksia? Jos ette, niin kannattaa tutkia Evansin tarjonta. Näiden mun ostosten lisäksi yllä olevissa kuvissa on pari kivaa asua syksyn mallistosta, mallina näyttelijä Lisa Riley.

Hello my lovelies,

It’s time for Fatshion Faceoff! I’ve had to skip a few times due to being so busy, but I’m back again. If you’re new to the blog, please see here what Fatshion Faceoff is about :). This week’s theme was chosen by Mouna, and she chose ‘Skulls’.

I thought that I might have to skip this one too, as I thought I don’t have anything with skulls in them… Until I remembered this scarf that is. (And now I remember that I do have one necklace with skulls too.) I wore this outfit last Saturday, when I went to the Harry Potter Studio Tour with my friend Isha. The tour was awesome, and since I took loads of photos I might do a post about it at some point. Would you guys be interested in reading more?

Jacket: 20, New Look Inspire (some sizes at New Look, some sizes at ASOS) | Dress: 24, ASOS Curve (same with short sleeves) | Leggings: 22, Evans | Shoes: TOMS | Necklace: Primark | Scarf: a gift (similar at Daniel) | Bag: Primark (similar by River Island, similar at New Look) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Rimmel London Kate Moss shade 110 (UK link, US link)

Takki: 20, New Look Inspire (joitain kokoja New Lookissa, joitain kokoja ASOSilla) | Mekko: 24, ASOS Curve (sama lyhythihaisena) | Leggingsit: 50, Evans | Kengät: TOMS | Kaulakoru: Primark | Huivi: lahja (saman tyylinen) | Laukku: Primark (saman tyylinen River Islandilta, saman tyylinen New Lookilta) | Rillit: Select Specs | Huulipuna: Rimmel London Kate Moss sävy 110

Heipsan!

Nyt olis jälleen Fatshion Faceoffin aika. Olen kiireen takia joutunut jättämään pari edellistä Faceoffia väliin, mutta nyt onneksi ehdin postaamaan! Jos et ole vielä tietoinen tästä ‘projektista’ jota teen 4 muun plussa-bloggaajan kanssa, niin lisätietoa (englanniksi) löytyy täältä. Tämän viikon teemaksi Mouna valitsi ‘Pääkallot’.

Aluksi kuvittelin, että mun pitäisi jättää tämäkin viikko väliin, sillä en muistanut omistavani yhtään pääkallo-aiheista vaatetta. Sitten yllättäen tämä lahjaksi saamani huivi tuli mieleeni, ja nyt tätä kirjoittaessani muistin, että onhan mulla yks kaulakorukin jossa on pääkalloja.

Tämä asu oli päälläni viime lauantaina, jolloin kävin Harry Potter studio kierroksella ystäväni Ishan kanssa. Kierros oli loistava, ja siellä oli NIIN paljon nähtävää. Yllättäen otin valtavan määrän valokuvia, ja ajattelin tekeväni niistä postauksen. Kiinnostaisiko teitä lukea siitä lisää?

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!

It’s time for the next one in our Plus North Premier Sponsor Spotlight series, and this time it’s Curvissa. They have a big collection and they offer shoes and accessories too, you can find something for everyone in their site.

For this post we were sent a cute pinafore dress that has cute buttons and pockets. I really think this is a cute dress, but unfortunately doesn’t really work for my bodyshape. I sized up to 30 (I’m normally 22-24 in dresses) and it’s still snug around my belly, and too big on my boob area. So if you have big boobs and not that big belly, I do recommend this dress. I added a belt and a vest to help with these problem areas, and it ended up looking better on me :).

Dress*: 30, Curvissa | Denim vest: 22, New Look Inspire | Belt: from a New Look dress (similar at ASOS Curve) | Shoes: Evans | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Shock

And now you should go and see the other girls’ posts – I’m sure they look gorgeous!

The first Full Figured Fashion Week event that Dani and I attended was the Denim & Diamonds-party on Monday evening. It was great to finally meet bloggers who I had talked with online, like Olivia and Rebecca, and to see some great people again, like Mouna, Marie Denee and the always lovely Evans-ladies.

I wore a black Live Unlimited top, New Look Inspire denim shorts, Evans heels, some full-on bling from Primark & Matalan, and borrowed a Forever 21 bag from Dani.

Top*: 24, Live Unlimited (similar at Evans) | Shorts: 26, New Look Inspire | Heels*: Evans | Bag: Forever 21 (similar coloured at ASOS and New Look) | Necklace: Primark (similar at ASOS) | Ring: Primark (similar at ASOS) | Earrings: Matalan (similar at ASOS) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in Fuchsia Flash (UK link, US link)

Sorry for not posting in ages, New York and FFF Week have kept me busy! I’m now waiting for my flight at the airport, so it’s time to get to work with my posts.

I haven’t done a wishlist post in a while, and this time I’m doing one about New Look, and their plus size maxi dresses and some accessories to be exact. I’m a huge fan of maxi dresses, and like you probably know, my faves are the really long ones – the longer the better :).

The Inspire Cream Floral Bandea Belted Maxi Dress is sooooo pretty with its cute little flowers and cream colour, perfect for summery days with brown sandals. The Inspire Black Folk Print 2-in-1 Belted Bandeau Maxi Dress is gorgeous, and I would wear it for drinks-date at a beer garden or something. I absolutely love the print of the skirt-part! The Inspire Black Floral Belted Bandeau Maxi Dress looks amazing, I adore the eye-catching floral print. I would wear it with wedges and a denim vest, it would look totally cute :). Lastly I chose the Inspire Navy and White Tribal Belted Bandeau Maxi Dress. It’s casual, but cute, and it would look great with a navy blazer and grey shoes.

I’m so into bright jewellery at the moment, and these Neon Green Bow Perspex Ring and Gold and Red Enamel Lips Necklace are statements in that area. Of course I couldn’t wear the ring in any other finger than my pinky (chubby fingers, haha), but that’s better than none! And when it comes to bags, I feel the opposite. I really need a tan and white bags, and I think the Tan Cut Out Oversize Tote Bag and White Cut Out Mini Satchel are super cute, and would work nicely with most of my wardrobe.. they definitely are on my must-have list!

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 :). I have missed a few weeks of the challenge, sorry for that. Life just got in the way, and work has been really busy. But anyway, this week’s item was chosen by me, and I chose a red bag.

I LOVE this bag. It was a find from Evans sale, and actually Mouna and Dani have this same bag too.. haha, I wonder if we all post it tonight ;). I was lucky to get these heels and this Live Unlimited top from Evans for New York, and this look is also featured at the Evans blog (thank you Evans) along with a few other looks! I’m looking forward to wearing this outfit for one of the day events at FFFW, as adding the shorts makes it more casual.

Top*: 24, Live Unlimited at Evans (similar at Evans: 1, 2) | Shorts: 26, New Look Inspire | Heels*: Evans | Bag: Evans (red cross body bags at: Dorothy Perkins, Topshop, ASOS, boohoo, Accessorize) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Natural Collection Moisture Shine in Crimson – available in Boots (similar by MAC)

I can’t believe that New York is only a few days away, and next week’s Fatshion Faceoff will be quite special ;)! But that’s then.. now go and see what kind of red bags the girls wore for their outfits.

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 Olivia, and she chose a Peter Pan collar.

I own two items with Peter Pan collars, so I didn’t have much choice ;). I decided to go with this gorgeous Scarlett & Jo dress, and I made the look more casual with my wedge sneakers and baseball jacket. This jacket was my sale find from New Look, I had been eyeing it up since they came online, but couldn’t really afford one. Seeing this baby on sale for £9 was like a best present ever, haha! There was only size 20 left, but with that price tag I had to take a risk, and it works fine :)

This was just too silly NOT to include ;)

Dress*: 24, Scarlett & Jo at Evans | Jacket: 20, New Look Inspire (random sizes still available in navy: New Look, ASOS) | Wedges: Matalan (light grey ones at ASOS) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline Colorsensational Vivids, Hot Plum (UK link, US link)
