My haul

The other day I recieve all my bits I bought online on the same day which rarely happens even more shocking was the postman actually deliver my stuff and didn't have work to the sorting office woohoo.


I received my monthly crown and glory glitterati which is full with the most wonderful hair pieces and each month has a theme, this months theme was tropical in the package was a orchid fascinator, a humming bird fascinator, a cocktail umbrella fascinator, fruit segment Alice band and some colourful flower Bobby pins. I loved this theme it's great for the summer when I wear more colour clothes and like to do more with my hair.



My second package was from corset story where I got deal in their sale section I firstly bought a beautiful black satin under bust corset for my sister and I bought myself the lovely black with white umbrellas banned apparel cardigan to go with my other banned apparel bits I been buying since I found out they did larger sizes at London edge.



My last package was from the amazing Sarah who bought a corset and it didn't fit her so she swapped it with me and I have to say I love it, it's amazing and I love you for swapping with me.

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.

Fat positive London plus size clothes swap

Me and my sister had a massive clear out of clothes we don't wear including quite a few which had never been worn and still had there tags on. It felt like a waste having all these wonderful clothes that were just stilling in a wardrobe gathering dust so when we came across the fat positive clothes swap we thought it would be a great idea of taking most of the clothes we had been about to get rid of there as we would rather go to people we know would love them then through them away, in the end we took a whole suit case full plus two bag of clothes to the swap we also had a bag full which we gave to our local charity shop as we couldn't carry anymore with us that day.

When we arrived we got there we walked past swap three times as we keep missing it  stuiped gps kept telling too walk further than we where to far, put eventually we found it and we where greeted by the lovely ladies who had set it up and helped us put out all the clothes which we had brought. 

The thing I really like was how well they had organised the layout of the clothes they had set up a table of every size so it was so easy to find things in your size and to put things out. A previous clothes swap I had been to in the past had pretty much just put every thing on yo one big table and you had to rummage and try to find your size.

I did find it completely surreal watching people fall in love and try on your clothes it was full of mixed emotions remembering how I had loved the clothes when I had first saw them and even times I had worn but on the other hand  I had a warm feel knowing they where going to a good home and would be loved and used not stuck at the back of the wardrobe.

I went a little mad and made a dash for this amazing donation of a leather biker jacket in my size as I have always wanted a leather jacket but either couldn't afford it or they never had my size in stock i was seriously thankful to the lady for such an amazing donation I can tell her with certainty I will be well loved and worn often.


I also fell in love with this amazing joe brown dress which was brand new the lady had never worn it and I still had its tag and a plus is it go great with the biker jacket I got.

I also got a lovely Beth ditto top from the swap which looks amazing with my biker jacket totally rock chic feel to it.

I also got a joe brown jumper in my fravourite colour good for the cold winter days 

Not only did I get some amazing thing so did my sister she got two yes two gorgeous corsets one was denium so great for every day wear the second was a great pleather corset which would be an excellent addition to the club wear outfits.


This april trying on the corset at the clothes swap and the wonderful lady who hand made her corset helping lace april up.

Yes that me trying on april new corset which fet her perfectly my is just a little big on the bust for me or I would have totally borrowed and never returned. 

Other than the amazing people and wonder full time we had I also have yo say the vegan brownie that they where selling there which was hand baked was amazing totally chocolaty and still gooey.
