Drinks




Last Friday I went out for drinks with a friend who studies Dentistry at Sheffield University. Because we were going to an up-market pub I decided to dress up. This shirt I got from the Zara sale (£39.99 reduced to £9.99!) and I matched it with a wide belt also from Zara. The shoes are Charlotte Reusse and the cut offs are from River Island. This outfit was easy to put together and very comfortable!

Julius Caesar










Last night I went to the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford to see the RSC production of Julius Caesar. I took my Dad for his birthday and we went for a drink at a lovely pub called 'The Windmill' beforehand. This is the outfit I wore.
The jacket is actually from Marks & Spencers of all places (!) and the top underneath is linen and is from New Look. This outfit is totally highstreet. I teamed it with silver jewellry and accessorize earrings.

Prom


These are the pictures that my mum took before my Year 13 prom. It was a few weeks ago now but I thought that the dress was way too cute to miss a post! I bought it from a little boutique in my village called 'Continental Collections' and as soon as I tried it on I knew it was 'the one'- even if I couldn't breathe the entire night! It's made out of silk with a ribbonned corset back and purple design down the front. I accessorized it with strappy purple stilettos, a purple clutch and purple jewellry. I felt like a princess all night!

2 weeks in USA

I'm currently visiting my pen friend of twelve years for the first time! She lives in Wisconsin USA and I live in Birmingham UK but we've been writing, emailing and sending gifts since we could both write. The link started when our Grandma's started writing to each other 70 years ago and we both think it's so cool that there's so much history behind our friendship. These past two weeks have been amazing!!! We get on so well and make each other laugh so much that it feels like we've known each other forever.
I want to say a big thank you to Indy for an amazing trip and of course for introducing me to blogging!

On to the fashion...
The dresses we're wearing in this photo we bought from H&M on one of our many shopping trips! We wore them out to dinner last Wednesday and I was lucky enough to be able to borrow purple stilettos which matched perfectly.

Greetings!

Hi everyone! I'm new to blogging and have just been introduced to this by Indy, my friend who I'm visiting in the USA. We're both really in to fashion and have had loads of fun trying on different outfits! I really want to show everyone that curvy girls can look fab and would be really interested in sharing fashion tips and advice with others.
This picture was taken today when we were having a 'trying-on' session. I love the colour of this dress and it's great fun to wear because it has netting underneath. It's also made out of silk so you feel like a princess in it!
