No Crying at Boo Hoo
A few months ago I was allowed to have a browse through the new plus size collection from BooHoo and choose an item. This particular post has been sat in my drafts for a while now and I stupidly forgot to hit publish!
Surprisingly for me I went for not the usual choice of bright choices and patterns, but instead was drawn towards the Lilly Peter Pan Contrast Collar Dress as it spoke to my earlier years of wanting to be Wednesday Adams.
The dress is true to size and very comfortable, however if you are not comfortable with a bodycon style fit, I would recommend that you size up. The dress also comes with the opposite colouring of white dress and black collar which would look gorgeous in the summer.
I styled this dress for my photographs simply with a red heart locket and simple black sandals. You could easily dress it up with some heels and a different necklace for work or alternatively, add some Converse and you can nod to the sports lux look too.
Given that it was a few months since I first checked out the new plus size collection, I decided to have a look and see what was available now and I totally fell in love with this kimono below so I had to share it with you.

I absolutely love this kimono. The colour, the print, I NEED this in my wardrobe. It's perfect.
What are you loving about the new Boohoo plus size range?

Fashiola
I was recently told about a new fashion search website called Fashiola Now usually when I hear about this sort of website I immediately discount it as I have been used to these sort of search engines previously which have either had no plus size section or alternatively a very limited choice.
In this case however I was given the website information from a PR whom I have worked with regularly so I decided to check it out. What a pleasant surprise it turned out to be!
The site is well set out and easy to use. As well as being able to search for clothing there is also a handy discount code section and another which shows the current trends for 2014. Additionally there is a style book section where you can browse through collections that people have put together or alternatively make your own.
The main feature of the site enables you to search for fashion, shoes or accessories in womens, mens and childrens sections with brands available from sites like BooHoo right up to D&G and Alexander McQueen.
The search facility gives you many options in order to filter down exactly what you are looking for. I was searching in particular for a dress for a wedding and found that it was very easy to navigate.
I am happy to report that the plus size community have not been an afterthough with this website as with so many others. There are at present over 1400 items of plus size clothing in the women's section which is very impressive but I also found that there were many more items available without having to pre section the plus size option. I searched in the main section for dress in a size 24 and it brought me over a 1000 options!
Here's what they have to say about themselves:
"We’re excited to have arrived to the UK and into such a strong online fashion market. The strength of our brand is evident in our fantastic fashion brand partners in the UK. There are thousands of online fashion shops, but how are shoppers able to search for a particular piece of clothing quickly online? We have solved this problem by giving a complete overview of all brands, prices, styles and availability of the goods in the correct size and for the best price in the market.
Have a look for yourself!
*Although I was given the information about this website I was not asked to write about them and was not paid to do so.
