Style Has No Size - A Body Confidence Campaign from Evans ClothingA

A few weeks ago, Evans Clothing played host to a room full of bloggers as they launched their #StyleHasNoSize campaign at London's Sanderson Hotel. Promoting body positivity, the movement came after Evans staged the first ever curvy catwalk show during London Fashion Week and the slogan was used as a mantra to instil confidence in their models.

What I love about the slogan is that it's all encompassing. It doesn't pit fat against skinny, it's all about loving yourself whatever size, shape or style you are.

As part of the campaign, Evans have released a Style Has No Size t-shirt and tote bag featuring the slogan boldly emblazened. And best of all? All the profits from the sale of the merchandise will go to the Rainbow Trust Children's Charity, a wonderful charity which supports families with very ill children.

In their own words,

We [Evans] believe that style is not about the size you wear; it’s about how you style your size. Our #STYLEHASNOSIZE campaign celebrates every woman’s shape and style - a message to challenge preconceptions and bring together women with a mantra that really matters.

The launch was filled with positivity, and it was a lovely chance to meet and catch up with some of my favourite faces, as well as meeting new ones.

Of course we took total advantage of the event's photobooth! Here was have An Autumn's Grace, A Is For Abi and A Rose Like This.

I wore a red jersey and lace dress from Scarlett & Jo at Evans, teamed with a red flower from Pearls & Swine for the event. I had such a fun time catching up with everyone and meeting some wonderful new faces. I can't wait to see the effects of the campaign, and the incredible burst of positivity surrounding it.

Until next time,

Lace Up - That Day Black Lace Trim Dress from That Day at Evans Clothing

In my last post, I spoke about one of my favourite new brands, the lovely vintage inspired collection from That Day Clothing. Currently sold though Evans in UK sizes 14 - 26, I adored their philosophy of wanting to create "a brand that re-imagined the exquisite style and detail of the past for women of today." Ranging from floral prints to bright colours, their AW range contains a mixture of dresses, shirts and tops. However the lace panel detailing on this particular number blew me away, and I couldn't wait to try it on!

Dress: That Day Black Lace Trim Dress* from That Day at Evans (Sent as a gift)

Necklace: Customised Kitty Necklace from Punky Pins

Art Deco Ring: Tatty Devine

Moon Stone Ring: Vintage

Bracelets: Vintage

Heels: Vintage

Tights: Pamela Mann

White Flower: Pearls & Swine

The LBD is always an easy choice, but the fitted waist and lace detailing along the neckline give this classic dress a stylish update.  The way it falls into a flared skirt makes it feel incredibly elegant and like it's mustard predecessor from my last post, can be dressed up or down.

For a more casual look, I'd wear the dress with some bright coloured tights and a cardigan, with it's lovely shape making it the perfect dress for adding layers to as the weather gets colder. If you want to view the whole range from That Day, you can see it on the Evans website here. The whole collection is stunning and I cannot wait to see what comes next for SS15.

Until next time,

It's Such A Perfect Day - Mustard : Yellow Gathered Waist Dress from That Day at Evans

It's very rare that I'll fall in love with a brand's aesthetic before seeing a single piece of clothing, but that's exactly what happened when I came across the That Day Fashion website. With their vintage inspired floral prints and artistic visuals, I was hooked on their philosophy before seeing a single garment.

On their website, they happily state how the collection came to be when a team of like minded people came together wanting to create "a brand that re-imagined the exquisite style and detail of the past for women of today." Those vintage sensibilities certainly spoke to me, and it was love at first sight when I came across this beautiful mustard creation.

Yellow Gathered Waist Dress from That Day at Evans.

I pretty much swooned over this dress the second I saw it. Whilst it was the bold mustard colour which initially caught my eye, the sleeves are utterly stunning. They have a lovely wrapped design to the front, and it's impossible to not feel like some sort of Grecian goddess as they flow around you.

The dress actually comes in two separate parts - a mustard slip to line underneath, with the main part worn over it. It also has a gathered waist detail, which is wonderful for defining and creating an hourglass shape, and feels really comfy to wear.

I chose to team the bright colour with black accessories to make the dress day-time ready. That said, the sleeves really do give the dress a more opulent feel which lends itself to special occasions with ease.

If you want to view the whole range from That Day, you can see it on the Evans website here. The whole collection is beautiful, and I cannot wait to see what they bring for SS15.

Until next time,

Pretty Prints - a #PSOOTD from Scarlett & Jo at Evans featuring their 2 in 1 Floral Prom Dress

When Scarlett & Jo released their Spring Romance Collection for Evans earlier this year, I absolutely fell in love with this floral print prom dress. It's shape really ticked all of my vintage loving style points, whilst the design was perfect for my high waist and larger bust.

I was all set to buy it, but it quickly sold out in my size and I was left heart broken. Ever since, I've kept an eye open for it on blog sales and eBay and was over the moon to purchase it brand new with tags for a fraction of the price. The best things really are worth waiting for!

Dress: Scarlett & Jo at Evans

Flower in hair: Pearls & Swine

Leggings: F&F True

Necklace: Tatty Devine

Bracelet: Vintage

Shoes: Vintage

The dress was a size smaller than what I'd usually buy, but there was no way I was letting this beauty slip away! Luckily the top half is very stretchy, and the wide elasticated band at the waist really nips you in for an hourglass silhouette which is even further exaggerated by the attached underskirt and net petticoat.

Even though Winter is just around the corner, I fully intend to rock this Spring dream as much as I can, teaming it with tights, ankle boots and cardigans. It's one of those dresses which really walks the line between day and evening wear with ease. The fabric is cosy and comfy to wear, but the frou-frou nature of the skirt makes it feel equally dressy.

It took me a while to realise what the 2-in-1 nature of the 50s style prom dress was, but it's clever design allows you to embrace your inner Bardot and wear the dress in an off-the-shoulder fashion.

Whilst this particular design is no longer available, there is a similar Scarlett & Jo dress in the Evans sale here.

Until next time,
