High light from style xl

Here are a few of the top high lights from style XL other than meeting a bunch of the most fabulous women I have ever had the pleasure to meet.

The best thing I enjoyed the most and took quite a bit from was the body positive work shop which was held on the second day of Style XL and was hosted by daisy from I will not wrap myself up in smocks and apologies blog it was very informative and thought provoking.

My fravourite outfit from the catwalk was this lovely bikini from chubby cartwheels, an American brand which sent a few items from there new collection and just love how quirky the bikini is.


I also fell in love with this dress from A Rose like this design which was her first collection of clothes she has deigned and she has done a fantastic job they look wonderful. I love how she has used different patterns and put them together and yet they look great. 




I also loved her see through kaftan dress which would be great to wear on holiday with a cute bikini or swimsuit. 



I also liked this dress from clairebella's closet which was a sneak peak of one of her own designs, the material looks lovely and I love the colour.


I also loved watching the model XL pageant during the evening my favourite category was when they had to make and outfit from either recycled materials or charity shop finds  and it had represent them as a person as well. They where all fantastic but then two that stood out to me was from Sarah and Sian (the winner of the pageant) who made dresses from paper and shopping bags yet they both looks amazing in them and did such a fabulous job.

Ootd

My outfit fit of the day was this lovely ASOS curve dress which I got from the London clothes swap back in may, where I instantly fell in love with it.

I was out with my friends at a local pub for a few drinks to celebrate my friends birthday and thought that this dress would be a excellent to wear for the event as it a really good smart casual look to it.


I top with a lovely PVC fronted waterfall cardigan from yours clothing and some  pumps from Primark.

My outfit of the day was the marvellous Marita dress from Voodoo vixen I bought this dress for my aunts hen do a little while ago after falling in love it at London Edge. I haven't worn since I dyed my hair as wasn't sure my new hair colour wouldn't clash with the colour of the dress but after trying it on I think the two colours look pretty together.

Get the dress here 

I think the pattern is so cute I love the little martini glassesand the button combined with the panel on the waist that draw people attention to the waist gives a slimming and hour glass figure look causing  my boobs look fuller. in all a very flattering dress and the material is lovely slightly lighter then my other voodoo vixen dress but keeps the obvious high quality feel to it.


P.s thank to April for taking the photo for me 

Day two of my June blog challenge

London edge part 2

It's taken me a while to finally get this section posted mostly because I lost my camera and with the majority of the pictures I had taken on the day I had found out that my brother had "borrowed" the camera a while ago and had for got give it back to me so I am apologising for the lateness of this post.

Firstly my highlights from the cat walk show at London edge 

My favourite pieces mostly came from banned apparel 
I like this dress not only because it one of my favourite colours but I like the pineapple pattern.

I like this dress it's another wonderful tropical print and I love the neck line which is similar to that of the kitty dress from voodoo vixen.

I fell in love with this backpack from banned even though it's technically for me I love it and the hood is a great idea in fact after London edge I bought this backpack and it in another colour.


A few from the alchemy collection 

This a lovely wiggle dress and the rose pattern is really striking

  This I a beautiful classic punk/goth style dress which I love especially the chain detail.


I was very surprised how much I like this jogging suit from alchemy as I usually hate jogging suit with a vengeance but I loved this one it is a nice faded black colour and has a wonderful diamanté design on the back which unfortunately I didn't get a great picture of.

After the cat walk I went around looking all the different stall and found a few interesting items 

The first stall I looked at was for banned apparel as they had such great stuff of the catwalk but o this was my absolute favourite item they had I love the bold bright pattern and wonderful offset but the black.

Another surprise like for me was this tie dye dress from Jordash clothing not my usual style but I could see my self wearing this dress at many of my events that I go to and would make a lovely addition to my wardrobe.

I will admit I can't ember the name of the company whom make these but my inner geek had a field trip at there stall with all there geeky bits they had bits from TMNT, Zelda and even candy crush but I did fall in love with the PS1 bits they had.
 



I also got chatting to they people from crazy colour who gave me a sample to try of there hair dye which I shall be using soon after the manic panic hair dye has faded.



I also got to talking to a wonderful lady from sensationelle and was there promoting her glitter lips which I tried out and they where amazing and I naughtily bought a couple on the day and may have bought a few more since they are so easy to use and and surprisingly  they last a pretty much all day. 

So that is the highlights from London edge sorry again it took me so long to post.

Camden and 100 % optical

I had full weekend firstly I went to Camden with my friend and sister as I needed to get a new corset as I no longer fit in my current one as I have lost a little weight. I had intended to go to berleska corsets as I had seen them at London edge and was amazed my the different corsets they had and shocked that they went up to my size. Unfortunately I never got to berleska as I had a lot of trouble finding them mostly because I had left the map they gave me at home oops.

Luckily I found this lovely little shop called black widow who sells corset in a large range of styles and sizes and the woman who work there was amazing she knew just by looking at me and my sister what size we were and took the time to find out what we where looking for and which corset would fit us the best. 
She took the utmosts cars in selecting corset that would fit and suit our shape the best  it was the best corset fitting I have ever had as she was so warm, friendly and you tell she had a real passion for what she was doing. The corset might have been a little bit more expensive that I was expecting even though she did give me a little discount but I got a steel boned satin high quality corset and a a great service.

My corset not the best photo but you can see how it really shapes me and feels wonderful on unlike some that feel uncomfortable because they do not fit perfectly.

My sister in her corset I love the leather and chain details and really accentuates her breasts.

Any trip to Camden for me can not be complete without a trip to cyber dog a great place for uv make up and accessories and you got to love there funky clothing I promised my self I would not buy anything this time as I had over spent and I usally go mad and buy lots of bit in cyberdog I was tempted to buy the manic panic hair extensions and a amazing cyberdog T-shirt,  but unfortunately I could not stop myself from buying this lovely pink necklace which was on sale and it would look great with an costume I am planning to do hopefully in the near future couple more item and it is complete.

I was sent to 100 percent optical as part of work to see what the new trends coming up and to get some inspirations for work but I had great time saw a ton of glasses that I want my fravourite company is mo eyewear which is a Spanish company and I fell I. Love with one pair in particular which is not only a glasses but has a clip on sunglasses part which looks absolutely amazing co pared to some of the other clip on sunglasses as they usally look quite out of place and old fashioned where as mo has made the clip look like it is apart of the frame giving it a geek chic feel.

Mo eyewear had quite a few glasses which caught my interest firstly was this lovely pink with blues side frame which is a another pair with that geek feel which suited me which I quite a shock as most geek frame are too dark for my pale complexion and makeme look ill so I was quite impressed plus you could have them as with a nice statement pair of glasses or they would also look great  as sunglasses.

Another pair liked from mo eyewear was this punk frame which was a slightly different from other pair of glasses I had see that day as they as they were slightly different shape I like how they have they geek feel to them but because they are not completely square it gives a softer look on the face and highlights the cheek bones.

Another brand of frames that caught my interest was Ronit Furst, this company is a relatively new company who sell the most amazing hand painted frames.
I loved how there frames where very colourful and each one unique and made a statement I like this blue pair which had four different shades of blue and had lovely painted design on the side.

I also like this cute pastel frame which was pink, green and had a little pale blue as well they where a lovely statement pair for those who want to have something different but don't want to go over the top I think they would are great pair for work or everyday.

Other than looking around at all the new styles and new brands of frames there was also an amazing fashion run way show casing some of the new frames coming out this year.
I have to say the model where amazing they even did a couple of dances on the runway which made it more fun and exciting than other runway show which I have seen.


Plus I love these little black flapper dresses they where wearing they looked waking when the girls where dancing  and really flattered their figures.

There was also a design competition which they where show casing the latest disgn ideas from the young minds from the royal college of arts and they where amazing to see what they had made my fravourite was the glasses rings I thought it was an interesting and quirky idea and I know a few people who would love to own one.

Another idea was the colour changing frames which work the same as transitions glass, I thought it was an great idea it's like having two pairs of glasses in one.

I also thought these whacky glasses frames where so cool and I can see people wearing them.

These where a  cool futuristic feel to them and had the most amazing colour from the light reflecting of them.

Another quirky design I feel like it might have had some art nouveau inspiration.

I like these they are very different and definitely make a statement the problem I see with this frame would be what would be like to look through and would you be able to see clearly?

These where another of the quirky designs and there where mirrors on the top of the far which was help with directing the light to improve vision.

And after along weekend I full of shopping and research I had to finish the weekend on a high with a lovely free glasses of champagne for a just because moment cheers.

Broken leg and nightvale

Hello everybody

 sorry been area for ages I had a little accident on my sisters birthday I thought I was just a bad sprain only to put a week later that I had in fact broken my leg and have been on crutches for the last eight weeks, put if I do say for my self I had a beautiful bruise.
the bruise developing and a great shot of my koi tattoo
picture my beautiful bruise waiting in the hospital to be plastered

My most saddest thing about breaking my leg was that I had bought tickets for a Halloween haunted maze but couldn't go as it had stairs and I was a health and safety risk I even plan an amazing outfit and tried and tested a epic witches makeup to wear using some new liquid latex me and my sister found in party fiesta.

But having a broken leg didn't stop me I went to club anti Christ in the beginning of November and had a great time crutches and all. I was the amazing joe black perform he is such a great performer and artist, the other great performer was Marnie scarlet ,
I also got to see the amazing Alix fox compare again

A great performer joe black 

Another great performer Marnie Scarlet


I still had a the pleasure of seeing welcome to nightvale live show and the amazing people at the shepards bush empire exchanged my ticket from the third floor to two rows from the stage because I had a broken leg. I can not praise the staff enough they where so kind and accommodating.
