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.

Proud sister at style xl

This weekend just gone I was at style xl with my sister April who was one of the lovely models for the event. she looked amazing the whole day and it was only her second time doing any type of modelling and I knew she was extremely nervous and excited for the event, but she did a great job.

April's first catwalk show was for Topsy Curvy and looked quite stunning in a black track suit with glitter detail. It was quite shock seeing her in a track suit as I don't think she has worn one since we had to for PE in high school, which was a little while ago. 

She also got to model for lady volumptous wearing there Cosette dress which she has had her eye on since it first came online and she did not want to change out of the dress  and  now I have been hinted at a number of times that it would be a great present for her upcoming birthday.

She also got to model for scarlet and Jo as a last minute add on as they thought she looked amazing in one of their new designs, which she was just trying on at the moment the other models where going on to the catwalk and so was basically thrown on to the cat walk.

I am most proud of her as she was one of the VIP models for Curvy Kate lingerie in the evening event. I know this took April courage as it was the first time she had ever done anything like this, she hasn't even worn a bikini before.

She looked fantastic even though she was incredibly nervous but yet still rock the catwalk in this cute baby doll and her mis match underwear set.

April was very brave and was an inspiration for a few of the other women at the event looking confident and fabulous all day. We can't wait for the next style hopefully next year as we had a blast.
