I FINALLY plucked up the courage to go on a little adventure with my SLR camera and take some outfit shots OUTSIDE. A miracle. You'll be totally shocked to know my camera was a Christmas present and since the 25th, I have used it three times. THREE TIMES! Yes, fellow bloggers will shudder at this. Last week I figured it was about time I took some decent outfit photos, ones that didn't involve the backdrop of the showroom at work! I'd been shopping so thought I'd show off my new purchases 'properly'.<br />

How beautiful is this midi initial ring? I've been looking for one for ages and found this in Topshop for £4. I also bought (yet another) gorgeous statement necklace from Topshop. I'm loving the neon gems on the perspex.<br />

I was also invited along to the <a href="http://www.littlewoods.com/women/plus-size/e/b/1962/r/100.end">So Fabulous</a> blogger event last week but unfortunately I was spending my evening with Beyonce and I couldn't let her down, could I? The event looked like it was a huge success and I'm really impressed with the range which is available through Very and <a href="http://www.littlewoods.com/">Littlewoods</a>. I often find it difficult as a plus size girl to branch out of my comfort zone when shopping online. Lets face it, shopping on the high street can be difficult which is why I tend to fill my baskets online. The So fabulous range has some really gorgeous stuff and I've purchased a few bits from them before including some pleather leggings and lace peg trousers. I'm eyeing up this beautiful Ombre Sequin Dress next that you can see the lovely Callie modelling <a href="http://instagram.com/p/YzouMaxRen/">here</a>.</div>

On another note - it's FIVE DAYS until my holiday. I'm off on a little road trip with three of my friends driving from San Francisco to LA and then Las Vegas. I've been to Vegas twice before but never to San Fran or LA so if any of you have any recommendations, do share!</div>

I own around 4 pairs of heels in total and the rest of my footwear consists of brogues, ankle boots and trainers. I'm definitely a trainer girl and unless I'm off on a night out with the girls, I'll always choose to wear trainers. My converse collection currently stands at nine pairs and a while ago I invested in my very first pair of Nike Air Max. Obviously I didn't go for a standard pair, I needed floral <a href="http://www.thesegirlsturnheads.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/nye-in-lisbon.html">ones</a> of course. With trainers being such a massive trend right now it seemed a good time to put together my favourite picks from <a href="http://www.jdsports.co.uk/women/brand/nike/">Nike</a>. I'm also doing <a href="http://www.raceforlifesponsorme.org/siman">Race For Life</a> in June so need to invest in some sensible trainers so now is as good a time as any, right?<br />

Ooops! There's just something about the neon pink sequins that screamed "wear me" this morning, plus it's always nice to tell strangers to "have a nice day" right? You can shop the full Marcus Lupfer at ASOS collection <a href="http://www.asos.com/Women/A-To-Z-Of-Brands/Markus-Lupfer/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=6156#parentID=-1&pge=0&pgeSize=-1&sort=-1">here</a>. Speaking of ASOS, the fabulous people over at <a href="http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk/">Appliances Online</a> have given me the chance to offer one of my lovely readers an £80 ASOS voucher. All you need to do is leave a comment telling me how you'd spend £80 on ASOS and you'll be entered into a draw. The winner will be chosen on Saturday at midday and announced on my blog.<br />

There is no greater thing in my mind than jewellery (ok, maybe Ryan Gosling but since he's committed to Eva we'll leave that there). I'm not talking dainty jewels from Tiffany and Co. (although when I was eighteen I would have spoken differently) I'm talking big, bold statement pieces that really make people stare. One of my favourite jewellery designers Maria Francesca Pepe range is now available to buy on amazon.co.uk so next time you're downloading that book for your kindle, why not shop the jewellery section which stocks other designers such as Mawi, Dinny Hall and Tatty Devine?<br />
<br />
Inspired by British avant-garde and realised by Italian artisans, Maria gains inspiration from the thriving artistic scene, which compliments her creativity and predisposition for art and music. I've chosen my personal favourites from the designer below - I absolutely love these rose gold pieces and think a purchase of the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/MFP-Mariafrancescapepe-Plated-Zircon-Earrings/dp/B00AHU2NXA/ref=lp_2460558031_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1366811893&sr=1-6">Cubin Zircon Earrings</a> needs to be made asap.<br />

Today's is this 'HERO' tee from <a href="http://www.owntherunway.com/products/clothing-tops/an0374mint-mint-oversized-hero-tee.html">Own The Runway</a>. How perfect is the mint for this gorgeous weather that's made an appearance recently? Be warned though - it's back to wind and rain come Friday so another two days of getting your legs out girls (please though - not the daisy dukes with your bum cheeks hanging out).<br />
<br />
I've never shopped on Own The Runway before and was very kindly sent this t-shirt from the lovely people at Snow PR. Although most pieces only go up to a size 14, the oversized tops work well on a larger frame so definitely give them a try. I've got my eye on <a href="http://www.owntherunway.com/products/clothing-tops/an0322yellow-neon-yellow-and-white-cut-out-shoulder-top.html">this</a> next. May have to make a purchase and add it to my holiday wardrobe (which FYI is growing everyday!).<br />

Turns out, I wasn't disappointed AT ALL. The collection of nine dresses, a shrug and two tunic tops is the brands first plus size <a href="http://www.simplybe.co.uk/">collection</a>. Danni's range received an incredible amount of press the first time around and it's great the designer is now branching into plus size fashion and what better way to collaborate than with Simply Be?<br />
<br />
Myself and four other bloggers were asked to choose between the Liberty Dress and the Carnegie Strappy dress. I absolutely loved both. The Liberty dress is a gorgeous print of the New York skyline and the perfect summer evening dress, however I felt I could style the Carnegie a lot more. With my holiday coming up, this is going to be my go-to summer dress and is also perfect for the festival season. I opted for the white and added some really bright accessories and studded ankle boots.<br />

I would suggest sizing up on this. Although there is an elasticated back the waist line is quite fitted due to the under skirt having no give at all. Although I love the dress bared legged, I do wish it was slightly longer. This falls just below my knees and I'm 5"8. I'm eager to try this as an evening dress too with wedges and blazer but to me if feels much more of a day dress and will definitely be coming on holiday with me!<br />

I purchased <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=9697991&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208524&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=200">this</a> beautiful china print shirt from Topshop a few weeks ago (or to use its correct name; toile). I then walked into Primark and saw an overload of toile print on dresses, skirts, tops and bought this beautiful sheer number below. I'm in love.<br />

I realise I haven't even featured these A-MAZING Topshop cowboy boots before. I love the gold toe cap on the front and the berry tones. Beaut! They aren't online anymore but there's some similar ones <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=9291081&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208544&parent_categoryId=208492&pageSize=200&refinements=category~[209969|208544]&noOfRefinements=1">here</a>. And then there's the jeans. I'd been searching high and low for some ripped jeans and gave the New Look Inspire <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/inspire-plus-sizes/shop-department/inspire-pale-blue-ripped-boyfriend-jeans-_271166245">ones</a> I go but they were just a bit too wide in the leg for me so ended up finding <a href="http://www.very.co.uk/south-ripped-skinny-jeans/1181265339.prd?browseToken=%2fq%2fripped+jeans">these</a> babies on Very and a bargain at £22!<br />

You know me, sucker for a tee and an even bigger sucker for one with a slogan. I picked up this Céline copy from Etsy a week ago - a bargain at £7.99 and teamed it my BEAUTIFUL jacket from <a href="http://uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.5/3933731010">Monsoon</a>.<br />

Recently in London and New York the team held a High Summer Preview and I was one of those people screen grabbing everything I wanted so I'm ready to pounce on the site once it all hits (some of it's already online) GOODBYE PAYDAY WAGE! The thing is with ASOS, they know what the plus size community are looking for. Literally, every single piece is amazing. It's fast, forward fashion and I don't feel like I have to wait ages for a trend to become accessible to someone my size. You know what's even more incredible? The Curve buyers. I regularly tweet the ASOS Curve team and they are more than happy to listen to my views or answer any questions I have. I've seen them interacting with bloggers on twitter and taking notice of what we like and dislike.<br />
<br />
The fact that Curve have started holding these kind of events for bloggers and magazines is just amazing. It gets us excited about the new season and they aren't showcasing a bunch of frumpy and boring clothes. Everything they produce - I want to wear! The colours, materials and copies of catwalk pieces make them my favourite destination for plus size fashion. Honestly, my wardrobe is probably 70% ASOS and 30% Simply Be. These are the only retailers I feel at the moment and creating cool pieces for the plus size community. I've chosen some of my favourite pieces from the lookbook below but I just wanted to say thank you to the ASOS Curve team for making such amazing pieces for us and knowing exactly what it is that we want to wear.<br />

There's no better feeling than adding some items to an online basket whilst waiting for payday to arrive (this is my current situation). I was delighted when the people over at <a href="http://www.avenue32.com/">Avenue 32</a> contacted me to ask if I'd put together my own wish list from the site. Similar to Net-a-Porter and The Outnet I spent a good while browsing the site and checking out their many designers. You'll find main stream designers on there such as <a href="http://www.avenue32.com/designers/giles/">Giles Deacon</a>, Felder Felder and Calvin Klein plus lots of incredible jewellery designers like Maria Francesca Pepe, Lara Bohnic and Zara Simon.You know what a magpie I am for jewellery and Avenue 32 has an incredible range from statement art deco to fine, delicate pieces.<br />
<br />
I've put together my wish list below, be warned this isn't a website to visit without (a few) pennies in the bank. My favourite pieces include the Giles jacquard full black skirt and the doll print scarf. These would look amazing with a white slogan tee and a pair of creepers. A girl can dream right?<br />

I actually think it may have worked as the sun has actually appeared this afternoon. I'm ashamed to say yet ANOTHER pair of printed trousers have made it into my wardrobe but I couldn't not pop these into my basket while browsing the site last week and at only £25! I went for a monochrome shirt and these gorgeous purple pointed heels for yet another pop of colour with them.<div>

</div>
A few weeks ago the lovely Hanna emailed me to ask if I wanted to review the <a href="http://www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/military-jacket-print/mb769/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=7102#colour:Camouflage,size:">Military Jacket</a> for Simply Be with her and a couple of my other favourite bloggers and of course I jumped at the chance. Simply Be sent us all this lightweight camouflage jacket and it's safe to say I love it. What with this horrendous cold weather it's perfect for layering up underneath a big winter coat and keeping you warm.<br />
<br />
With a button fastening and two large side pockets, the jacket also comes with a drawstring waist so if you want to give yourself more shape and clinch in the waist you can. It's a perfect length and I'd go one size up and wear slightly oversized . I wore mine with a floral shirt to tackle some clashing prints and my amazing Chloe jeans (also from Simply Be).<br />

I've raved before about how amazing I find Simply Be jeans and I'm wearing some boyfriend ones with the shirt today and a floral blazer from River Island. Office chic shall we call this look? I'm rarely seen in a shirt so this makes a nice change, and of course, some sparkle was added in the form of these lace up diamante Topshop pumps.<br />

All I want to do is keep warm and throw on layer upon layer. Well, not today. I needed to add a little sunshine to my outfit and this was done through my new neon and lace top from ASOS Curve. There's nothing quite like a flash of neon to give an outfit some life. I was actually reading one of Monica's post (Monica writes The Elgin Avenue and is one of my favourite bloggers) and found some inspiration through one of her <a href="http://www.theelginavenue.com/2013/01/neon-its-accent-thing-look-of-day.html">outfit</a> posts. <div>

I've posted about these beautiful heels before. I found them at a car boot in Battersea where I visited for the first time with the lovely <a href="http://www.jazzabellesdiary.blogspot.com/">Jazmine</a>. I love the gold elephant details on the heel and pointed toes. A perfect heel height for someone who avoids stilettos too!</div>

In regards to the title of this post, I was a little naughty today. When I say a little, I actually mean VERY. I've been eyeing up the Brian Lichtenburg 'Homies' jumpers for ages and today (I mean, it IS payday) I purchased one from <a href="http://www.brownsfashion.com/Product/Women/Clothing/Knitwear/Unisex_Homies_Cotton_Sweatshirt/product.aspx?p=4805607&cl=4&pc=1949756">Browns</a> on South Molton Street. I fear I may regret this with a 2 week holiday to San Fran, LA and Vegas still to pay for, but hey - a girls got to treat herself every now and again!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
... for not quite 4 days but 2 days now. You know when you're looking for the perfect skinny jeans and then you find them and decide to buy them in every colour? Yeah, that. These babies are from Simply Be and are the Chloe Stretch Skinny Jeans, probably the best fitting jeans I've ever owned. True to size, a perfect fit in the leg and great for a person who rarely wears jeans but is going through a 'jean phase' at the moment. I hate wearing black, but I LOVE these so added some sparkle to them today with a vintage sequin top (an NYC buy which you read about <a href="http://www.thesegirlsturnheads.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/we-meet-again.html">here</a>) and a printed blazer from ASOS.</div>

I'm going to put it out there that you can continue to wish people a HNY until mid January at least.<br />
<br />
I haven't had much time to play around with the camera properly that I got for Christmas and I chose not to take it on my mini break to Lisbon but I'm excited to be able to start taking some good quality outfit photos in 2013!<br />
<br />
Lisbon was beautiful and such a lovely place to see in the New Year. We went to the main square on the night to watch a live concert and then see the fireworks. The streets were absolutely packed and it felt like a massive carnival. The partying continued into the night on top of the terrace of our hostel and rolling in at 5am to then be up at 8am to catch our flight! Nothing like only 4 hours sleep before getting on a plane. Lucky for us the weather stayed relatively dry during our 4 days in the city and we managed to squeeze in lots including a trip to St George castle and the harbour.<br />

Unfortunately I didn't get many shots of my outfits in Lisbon but thought I'd share this one and I don't think I've spoken about my Liberty x Nike air max trainers yet. I saw these in Liberty a month or so ago and fell in love immediately. I tend to spend most of my life in converse or trainers so these were a perfect addition and they are SO comfortable.<br />

(How long are we allowed to wish people a Happy Christmas once the big day is over?) Did you all have a lovely day? I spent mine at home with my lovely Mum and Santa spoilt us both rotten. I got a new SLR Canon Camera which I cannot wait to start using, a flat screen TV, some Mulberry gloves, the Grace Coddington autobiography and lots of bits and pieces including some lovely dresses from ASOS. I certainly must have been a good girl this year!<br />
<br />
I thought I'd share my Christmas Eve outfit with you all. I can't resist a bit of sparkle as you know and every year my friends and I gather together for lots of wine before heading to our local pub. It's been a tradition for the past 8 years and is a chance for us all to get dressed up and see in Christmas Day together. The sequin dress I wore was from ASOS Curve, a little steep at £150 but definitely one of the nicest dresses I own. With a dipped ribbon tie back and sheer beaded front it was just the right amount of sparkle to see in Christmas Day. Sorry for the quality of the photos - my Mum took these quickly before I left and she was already on the champagne!<br />

I hope you all have a very Happy New Year. I am off to Lisbon, Portugal on Friday to see in 2013 with my 4 best friends. Apparently it's a lot warmer there than in the UK at the moment so I am pretty excited. I may even start packing now!</div>

With every major high street brand under one roof it was going to be a tough job (I know, shopping with a £100 gift card. Someone's got to it!) deciding on what to put on my wish list. This year I haven't asked for anything. Ok, a tiny lie. The only thing I mentioned to my family was the Grace Coddington autobiography which I am dying to read. Now I'm starting to see some pieces I like but Santa aka Mum has told me "it's too late. You're all done". Oh, okay then. Thankfully the wonderful team at Westfield have solved my problems.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Westfield is literally on my door step and houses 388 shops! It's probably worth mentioning that tonight and tomorrow they are opening their doors until MIDNIGHT for those of us who like to leave our Christmas shopping until the last minute (like myself). On Saturday opening hours are until 11pm so sharpen those elbows and be ready to get your shop-on. I for one will definitely be there Saturday afternoon picking up my last remaining Christmas presents for my Secret Santa, my Dad and Stepdad. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below is my Christmas list all of which is available at Westfield London and with a Westfield <a href="http://uk.westfield.com/london/services/concierge/gift-card/">gift card</a> I'm free to roam around and choose some of my pieces below. The gift card is ideal if you're stuck for present ideas, as it allows your loved ones the freedom to shop for something they <i>really </i>want.</div>

I picked up these gorgeous gold baroque <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=1&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=7305136&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208543&parent_categoryId=208492&pageSize=200">slippers</a> from Topshop last weekend and they are so comfortable. Sure, I'm getting a few "why aren't you wearing socks/tights it's freezing" on the train in the morning but that's okay. I love the gold foil effect and lace overlay. I paired these my burgundy New Look jeans, ASOS Raccoon print shirt and vintage studded denim jacket. My handbag is one that most girls on the high street seem to be carrying at the moment - the Accessorize Mari Tote. There are so many colour options available and it's such a gorgeous bag. You can check out the full range <a href="http://uk.accessorize.com/view/search?search=mari+tote">here</a>.<br />

A few weeks back I was gifted some amazing Sony headphones to review. I'm so used to using earphones as oppose to headphones and had been thinking of purchasing some Beats but they're a little out of my price range. I wouldn't say I'm massively into music so investing that much on headphones seems a waste. These Sony ones however are ideal. Retailing for around £22 with a sleek burgundy metallic outset they are perfect for my morning commute. The sound quality is much better than the<a href="http://www.three.co.uk/Store/Phones/iPhone"> iPhone</a> earphones and I can block out other noise and still have my music relatively loud without disturbing anyone around me. The only problem I had was there was no volume control so you have to reach for your iPhone every time.<br />

while and I think this may just be the one. My favourite item from the site has
to be this AMAZING glitter/velour dress. I like to think of this as Grandma - chic. It looks as though it’s stepped right
out of an 80’s TV show, which I think is why I love it. Huge shoulder pads AND
glitter – bang on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So, a couple of weeks ago I was swooning over <b><a href="http://www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/rise-annie-beaded-dress/vx985/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=6426">this</a></b> on Simply
Be. A perfect choice for New Year’s Eve celebrations (which FYI I’ll be
spending in Lisbon, Portugal so if anyone has any recommendations – hook a
sister up). Anyway, for some reason something was telling me to hold back on
making a purchase and thank goodness I did as I was contacted by the team at
Simply Be to ask if I wanted to take part in a blogger feature. I was asked to
choose a dress from the website and write a partywear review. Er, YES and I
knew exactly what I was choosing. The fashion gods were obviously looking down
on me that day. A couple of days later, the dress arrived and I couldn't have
been more thrilled.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I am head over heels
for Simply Be. Along with ASOS Curve they are my go-to guys for fashion forward
pieces and Simply Be’s party wear section has so many choices for bigger girls
this season. You know me, I love a bead, jewel, sequin anything that stands
out. I try and avoid black most of the time because I like having fun with
colours, detailing and prints. <o:p></o:p></div>

The dress is a perfect fit. I went up a size as I don’t like
things clinging onto me and I’m glad I did. There is a silk under-dress to
avoid any “oh my bum is on display” moments and the quality is amazing. The hand sewn embellishment made up of pearls
and cylinder sequins give the dress that extra bit of sparkle and the flapper
details create a 1920s feel. The only problem I had was with the length (and
this is a body conscious problem). Personally, I’m not keen on anything that
comes above my knees so I felt it was a bit short. I’m 5”8 and it fell at the
back just below my bum but teamed with a pair of chunky wedges I felt this made
my legs look slightly longer so problem solved. <o:p></o:p></div>

The bigger the better and I can't leave the house in the mornings without adding an extra bit of bling to my outfits, so imagine my delight when these images of some gorgeous Mawi pieces landed in my inbox. I own one of her rings from the Disney collaboration but am seriously considering adding a necklace to my expanding jewellery collection.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://amazon.co.uk/">Amazon.co.uk</a> are delighted to announce they will be offering the new range of Mawi jewellery (at competitive prices!) from December. Just in time for the festive season - start adding these babies to your list to Santa!<br />
<br />
My favourite piece is this pearlescent and diamante number with gold detailed spikes. The perfect update to your LBD.<br />

It was cheap as chips and I found it at Beacon's Closet in Brooklyn. It has a real varsity feel to it and brightens up an old pair of jeans and basic tee which is exactly how I wore it today! I was sent these amazing initial brooches from Accessorize on Friday and figured this jacket was the perfect piece to add these to.<br />

My necklaces are both from New Look who have some amazing statement pieces at the moment and the best part is, they were on a buy one get one free offer so I ended up buying 4 (because of course, a girl can never have to many statement necklaces!).

I was in Look magazine this week and featured on the 'Style File' page. It was such an amazing opportunity to be part of one of my favourite mags and share with Look readers on how I ended up with my job in Fashion PR. I've always advised that internships are the best way to get into a fashion career, especially if you don't have a degree in fashion. I completed a 10 week short course at LCF to learn some PR basics and it was the best decision I'd ever made. Don't get my wrong - I loved my degree in Drama but I'm so pleased I've ended up doing something I really love.</div>

I'm still waiting for one of the plus size retailers to make a pajama suit but in the mean time I'll continue my obsession with printed peg-leg trousers. These <a href="http://www.very.co.uk/so-fabulous-lace-peg-trousers/1147253002.prd?browseToken=%2fq%2flace+trousers">lace</a> ones are from the So Fabulous range at Very and are an amazing fit. The waist is elasticated (yep - score!) and the fit around the leg is perfect. I prefer a skinny leg as wider leg trousers tend to make people look bigger than they actually are whereas these show off your shape perfectly. I paired these with a beautiful new gem tee from Topshop, gold flats from <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=25&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33054&storeId=12553&productId=5511977&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=209442&parent_categoryId=209435&pageSize=24&refinements=category~[209444|209442]&noOfRefinements=1">Evans</a> and my Issey Miyake blazer.<br />
