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!!!

Foggy in the City + Junarose SS14 sneak peek

Tags: Evans, fat fashion, fatshion, friends, Junarose, Maybelline, New Look, OOTD, plus size, preview, Primark, Simply Be, So Fabulous

(Suomeksi tekstin/kuvien välissä)

Hello lovies,

Last week I went to Finland for a quick visit, just to relax and heal my shoulder while hanging out with mom. On the way to my home town I stopped in Helsinki and went to visit the Junarose showroom with Mimmi. I have posted about my visit to the London showroom before (see the post here), so I was very interested in seeing what styles they would have at the showroom in Helsinki. The lovely ladies who handle Junarose sales and PR in Finland showed us around and we got to see a lot of upcoming styles (which were indeed different than what I saw in London). They also kindly let us take a few photos, so here’s a little sneak peek to Junarose SS14.

Heippa!

Kävin viime viikolla pikaisella visiitillä Suomessa, tulin vaan rentoutumaan ja olkapäätäni hoivaamaan pariksi päiväksi – ja sehän on parasta äidin hoivissa. Kotimatkalla pysähdyin Helsingissä ja kävin tutustumassa Junarosen showroomiin Mimmin kanssa. Olen postannut aiemmin visiitistäni Lontoon showroomiin (lue postaus englanniksi täällä), ja olin utelias näkemään millaisia tuotteita olisi näytteillä Helsingissä. Junarosen myyntiä ja PR:ää hoitavat Heidi ja Anu näyttivät meille paikkoja, ja nähtiin paljon tulevia Junarose-ihanuuksia (jotka olivat eri tuotteita mitä näin Lontoossa). Saatiin myös lupa ottaa vähän kuvia, joten tässä olisi pieni vilkaisu Junarosen kevääseen.

I love all of these, but THIS JUMPSUIT. Gah, I can’t wait to have it!! // Kaikki nämä ovat mielestäni ihania, mutta en malta odottaa, että saan tämän haalarin hyppysiini!!

Mimmi and I also took our outfit pics after we left the showroom, and she took these with her camera.. I’m definitely convinced that I need the same lens too, these photos turned out great (except for the foggy grayness, haha).

Takki: 24 UK, So Fabulous (samantyylinen Simply Bellä) | Paita: 20 UK, Primark | Hame: 24 UK, Simply Be | Leggingsit: 50, Evans | Saappaat: Evans | Kaulakoru: New Look (saman tyylinen River Islandilla) | Huulipuna: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids sävy Electric Orange

And of course we had to take a selfie too! // Ja tietty piti ottaa yhteiskuvakin!

Hello my lovies,

Maybe you are tired of me talking about autumn already, but I’m just so happy to use more layering, jackets, coats, boots, etc.. so yes, more dark autumn outfits are coming.. ;). I got some new season goodies from Simply Be a few weeks ago, and this posts features two of the items. I fell in love with this dress when I saw it in their catalogue, but I was sure that it wouldn’t work for my body shape. I’m SO HAPPY I took the risk and asked for it anyway. I did size up though, so the dress wouldn’t be very clingy, and I think it works well. The ankle boots are another item I got from Simply Be, and I can’t describe how much I love them. I would only love them more if they were real leather, but that might make them too perfect ;).

Coat: 24, So Fabulous (similar at Simply Be) | Dress: 28, Simply Be | Leggings: 22, Evans | Ankle boots: Simply Be | Necklace: Gogo Philip (similar at ASOS Curve) | Glasses: Select Specs | Lippy: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids in Electric Orange (UK link, US link)

Takki: 24 UK, So Fabulous (saman tyylinen Simply Ben EU-kaupassa) | Mekko: 28 UK, Simply Be (valitettavasti ei saatavilla EU-kaupasta) | Leggingsit: 50, Evans | Nilkkurit: Simply Be | Kaulakoru: Gogo Philip (saman tyylinen ASOS Curvella) | Rillit: Select Specs | Huulipuna: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids sävy Electric Orange

Heippa!

Ehkä te olette jo kyllästyneet mun syksy-hehkutukseen, mutta syksy-muoti saa mut niin innostuneeksi! Saa käyttää takkeja ja bleisereitä ja saappaita ja ja ja ja.. Eli joo, enemmän tummaa ja syksyistä asua tulossa ;). Sain Simply Be:ltä jokusen uuden kauden tuotteen pari viikkoa sitten, ja tässä postauksessa näkyy niistä kaksi. Rakastuin tähän mekkoon, kun näin sen kuvastossa, mutta olin varma ettei se toimisi mun kroppamallilla ollenkaan. ONNEKSI otin riskin ja pyysin sen joka tapauksessa! Otin kyllä kokoa suuremman kuin yleensä, ettei keskikohta kinnaisi pahasti, ja mun mielestä tää mekko toimii kuin toimiikin :). Toinen saamani tuote on nämä nilkkurit, ja RAKASTAN niitä. Ainoa syy miksi voisin rakastaa niitä vielä enemmän olisi, jos ne olisivat aitoa nahkaa. Mutta joo, sitten ne saattaisivat olla liiankin täydelliset ;).

Event: So Fabulous

Tags: So Fabulous

Hello my lovelies,

A few weeks ago I was invited to a bloggers event held by So Fabulous – the plus-size range for online shops like Very and Littlewoods. They wanted us to see pieces of the current and upcoming range, and of course wanted to hear our opinions on plus-size fashion in general and who is doing it right etc. I had a crazy day at work, so sadly I was late for the event, but when I walked into the room I saw my gorgeous fellow bloggers checking out the pretty clothes on the rails, enjoying cupcakes and chatting happily. It was great to see some bloggers who I don’t have a chance to see that often (and meet new ones), and the So Fabulous team and their PR team were lovely and eager to hear our thoughts.

Some of the lovely nibbles.. I LOVED those cupcakes ;)

We also got to try on any of the clothes on the rails, and believe me, we did! I tried a gorgeous sequin dress, and an amazing military coat. That dress is definitely one of the most daring pieces of clothing that I have tried, I loved how I felt in it… and it definitely is on my wish/consideration list for Full Figured Fashion Week!

The military coat which I love (size 24)

The amaze sequin dress (size 24)

I’ve also been wanting to try peplum for a while since I was sure that it wouldn’t work for me.. so since I saw a peplum dress there, I gave it a try. And it was bad.. so that’s why there isn’t photographic proof of that ;). I loved the dress and the purple colour, it just wasn’t right for my apple-bodyshape.

Picking up the peplum dress

All the lovely blogger ladies who attended (l-r): Betty, Becky, me and my awkward pose (didn’t think that I’d be too tall for anything, haha), Kirsty, Toni, Naomi, Callie, Lauren and Mel

All in all it was a really lovely event, and hope there’s more to come! And can’t wait to see new So Fabulous collections, it sounded like they have amazing stuff coming in the future.
