PLUS size shopping

Hey girls!

Shopping on the mainstreet is close to impossible when your big when I say plus size I don't mean what Vouge calls plus size I mean 18 + I am a size 20 UK I Mostly shop in primark as I love cheap clothes! I also love charity shops and definitely the chartity shops with the size on the coat hinger so then you don't go getting your hopes up on that beautiful size 8 dress you like! 

Online I shop on easybe  , boohoo plus  asos curve. All these stores go up to a 24 and easybe goes higher! I also like Evans and Doherty Perkins as they have classy outfits with big sizes but cheap prices!

That is just some of my favourite plus size shops!

My First Car

I just turned 17 their on the 1st of June so my dad got me car. I knew for months I was getting one but just didnt know when, we originally wanted someone diesel and old fashioned that's the way I like my cars but anything I liked was to hard on insurance, so when I seen this car I fell I love, I know it isn't old fashioned and it isn't something I would normally pick, but it is black kind off, the bits of red on the doorhandles, inside, and wing mirrors just add to it I think anyway. It is petrol and very very small, its a little "city car" I was lucky enough that it already had black windows tinted and meant I only have to do the front in the future. I love this little car and suprisly it is very easy to drive, I learnt to drive in a 2001 farm jeep with 2.8 liter engine to then go to a 1.0 liltre was a bit of a differance but its okay.

Maintaining Blonde Hair

JHey guys, I know its been a long time I am sorry. Its been a few months since I've been blonde and I thought it would be a good idea to tell you's how I maintain it because being blonde is a full time job, it is very very hard work, and extremely drying on my hair.

Going blonde is the first I've died my hair and I've only had it died twice, I went blonde in one sitting without bleach (see last post) I then went back to go grey but ended up not liking it... as it was a little purple from the products used and wasn't the color I had in my mind.

After I washed it out with regular shampoo for 2 weeks it went this beautiful color...

How I maintain it this color is just by shampoo alone, I use the Touch Of Silver twice a week shampoo as I only wash my hair 2/3 times a week, on the bottle it says to leave on for 5mins but I normally would leave it on for 15 as I forget about it. it doesn't leave my hair purple at all it just takes all the yellow out. This is all I use on my hair as I am lucky enough to have good hair naturally.

IM NOW A BLONDIE

Hey guys, just a very quick little post to say I finally went blonde!

I have wanted to dye my hair for 5/6 years but was never aloud now I finally had the money and time i decided to go for it, It only took one sitting as my hair is naturally blonde, I love the colour although I miss my natural hair but it's to late now 

Ps, I never realised how hard it is to change your makeup from darker to lighter hair 😮 getting rid of my dark brows was the hardest. Hopefully the makeup approves.

Hope yous like it!

Little Black dress

Hey guys, last night me and my best friend decided to go out, its been a while for me (it was well needed)
A girl we both knew was holding a fun-raiser for Women's Aid and Children's Heartbeat in our local pub, even though early that day we had bad snow and were snowed in (it was cancelled) then on again, then people starting pulling out it ended up just being me and my best friend. It was a brilliant night with great music and everyone having a good time.

I decided to keep my outfit extremely simple with this beautiful black dress from New Look sale for only £5 around 2 years ago, it is my serious go to dress. Now that I study Fashion and can take in and up garments i decided to take this dress in as it was to big around the bum and thighs now it is perfect.
I kept it simple by pairing these gorgeous nude heels with Primark for £1 last year (the most comfortable shoes in the world) and kept jewelry simple with a gold watch.

I done my hair in rollers to create this glamours vintage hair, i used 8 Large Primark Velcro rollers on the top and sides of my head for more volume and used around 10 medium & small Velcro rollers mixed getting any left hair. I had them in from 1pm to 8pm and it held all night with the help of hairspray.

For my makeup i decided to do a purple and pink smokey eye with dramatic winged eyeliner, bringing the eyes together with the Red Cherry Lashes in Wispy. I kept everything else simple with nude lips, skin coloured blush with a hint of dark peach.

  

Something Different

Hey guys, although I didn't do much yesterday other than go into town with my girls, I was in the mood to do something different with my makeup, I have never tired winged eyeliner or coloured eyeshadow other than naturals but yeatursday I felt so in the mood to change I decided to do this beautifu natural purple smokey eye using my large eyeshadow palette from eBay, I just kept working and building up my eyeshadow  until it was how I liked. 

For the first time ever appling eyeliner I used a pencil on the area I wanted it then went over it with Benefits They're Real push up liner and to be honest it worked for me.

I like to keep my lips simple so I applied my everyday nude lips and kept my face natural with little blush and contour.

When it comes to my hair (the disaster) I decided on Friday night it would be a good idea to cut my own hair (this is how it turned out)

Even though it doesn't look that bad curled when it's straight it's all different lengths and it looks terrible.

I finally decided to get my hair cut by a professional and although they thinned it so much I love it, I finally feel confident with it now. 

This is how it looks now (not the best picture)

Cape Of Dreams

Hey guys, Yesterday I had to go to a town near me to get some velvet + lace for my fashion class.

While me and my mum was waiting for the fabric shop to open I seen a charity shop and decided to go and pass the 10mins I had to wait, when I walked in the door I seen this beautiful Cape hinging up right in front of me! 

I didn't even want to go and look at it because being plus - sized I automatically thought it wouldn't fit me but my mum made me (thank you) and it did I almost died, it was love at first sight!

For £20 I couldn't leave it...

Never ever think you won't fit into something without trying I do it a lot I don't mean to but it's a habit, I'm so glad I have amazing friends and family that forces me to try stuff on❤️❤️
