A Favourite Blogger


Day 5 - Publicly profess your love for one of your blogger friends

My absolute favourite blog belongs to the fantastic Becky Barnes of www.MrsBeBeBlog.com. Becky’s was the first ever plus size fashion blog that I ever read and it was also the inspiration in kickstarting my own ventures into fashion blogging.

I had never even read a blog before I found Becky’s and I still remember being completed awe inspired by her. Someone who dressed well; who wasn’t hiding away in black and looking amazing and confident. I wanted that confidence for myself and wanted to be able to reach a place where I was happy not only wearing colour and print, but also was photographing myself wearing it.

Becky’s blog started me on my self confidence journey and continually inspired me to push the boundaries in what I was comfortable wearing, proving that you can be any size and look good.

I don’t hide from the camera now, my wardrobe is awash with colour and I am happier now than I have ever been. There are a lot of people who have helped me with this journey, but Becky’s blog was the very first step.

The Magnificent 7th - Beachwear!


Hello all!  This month’s theme is the beach.

We will be posting on the 7th of each month, and the aim of the challenge is to create an outfit to fit the theme, using clothes from our wardrobes, and yes that does mean digging deep into the depths and finding those long lost clothes! Hopefully one of us won’t end up in Narnia, but you never know with a bloggers wardrobe!

Unfortunately I have to cheat a little bit. I am involved with the #flashtheflesh blogger challenge which focussed on beachwear yesterday and I used my one outfit on that.
Instead I decided to have a look around on the internet and find my dream beachwear outfit, which I have posted below.  Sorry to the other ladies involved in the challenge,  I will do better next month! 





My Favourite Quote

“You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches.”

There is so much that can be learnt from this quote. It took me so long in my life to figure out that everybody has different tastes and what suits one will not suit another.

There is not one “correct” way to look. We are all different for a reason and that should be celebrated. We do not come off a factory line shaped like Ken and Barbie and if we did, what would the fun in that?

These days I focus on being happy rather than trying to attain to be a particular size, look a certain way, or be a particular type of person. A happy confident person is attractive, no matter what you look like.
