You Spin Me Right Round - Simply Be Harness Detail Dress


I love anything which includes a harness detail, so when I saw this amazing Simply Be Harness Detail Bodycon for just £15, it was a total no brainer for me. It spoke to my inner teenage goth, and is the perfect balance of comfy and cor blimey!

Lady In Red - Lace Detail Skater Dress from Curvissa


Something about this Curvissa dress made me feel like a Disney character the second I put it on, and in my world, that is absolutely a good thing. It might have been the floral print lace around the bust which spoke to my inner Aurora, or perhaps the floatiness of the bottom half of the skater shape. Either way, I adore this dress and was one step away from singing to the squirrels as I walked over the heath wearing it.

Plus Size Posse


A few months ago, I put a shout on on social media looking for people who would be interested in telling me why the phrase "plus size" was so important to them. It was a question born out of the "drop the plus" debate, and I wanted to know how the term plus size had been a useful tool for good. It was so wonderful to see the replies coming in, with stories of people finding body acceptance, self love and a place amongst a supportive community which straddled politics, feminism as well as fashion. Over two days with very extreme weather, I photographed some of them in their favourite outfits, which you can see below.

StunBear Notebook - The Perfect Blogger / Freelance Planning Tool


I am such a stationary fiend but as both a freelancer and a blogger, I like to kid myself that it's mostly for practical reasons. However sometimes a product comes along with a concept so wonderful that your desire to own it comes 100% guilt free, and that is exactly how I felt when I stumbled across the StunBear notebook on Kickstarter. If you want something beautiful to plan out your goals, your time and to really help you focus, make sure this goes onto your Christmas list immediately!

Introducing Bidvine - Matching You With Local Industry Professionals In Your Area

Sometimes you come across such a gem of a website, you just have to talk about it. When I was recently looking to find some local service professionals in my area, I stumbled across Bidvine who were able to help me match with people who could help. I was looking for two things - a ukulele teacher and someone to help move some furniture from Berkshire to London. Both queries were speculative as I wanted to get a feel for what was available, but it turned out that the site was able to turn around multiple leads for both.

I love autumn fashion as it allows me to wrap myself up in lots of cosy layers, so pinafore dresses have been a huge favourite in my wardrobe.
