Suede Dreams

I'm so excited that this suede dress is finally available online! I was lucky enough to try a few pieces from the AW15 ASOS Curve range back in the summer and I have been waiting and waiting to see it appear on the site. I was worried when they sent it to me that a 22 wouldn't fit; normally fitted shift dresses can be a problem for me and I have to size up but this was spot on. I love the thickness of the fabric and the simple shape of the dress. The different patches and autumnal colours give this dress the perfect 70s twist and by adding a thin polo neck and thick tights I think this is the perfect way to style up this dreamy suede number. My lipstick is called Chili by MAC and it was made for this outfit!

AW15 Neckline trends

Each season key garments appear online and in store and once you spot one, you start to see them everywhere. I love how every year even the basic styles get an update and sometimes these updates are as simple as a fabric type or a change in neck line.

This Autumn/Winter three neckline trends that I have spotted are 70s scarf/neck tie tops and dresses, Victoriana high neck shirts and maxi dresses and lace up tops and dresses.

I've trawled the internet for plus size options so you don't have to; so grab a cuppa and take a peek at these fab on trend pieces. Simply click on the item you like and it'll take you directly to the correct shop.

Let me know which style is your favourite in the comments below!

Introducing Black Widow | White Lies - Carmakoma AW15

It's baking hot here in London at the moment but that hasn't stopped me from drooling over AW15 pieces when they drop into my inbox. It's always tricky trying to imagine what you'll fancy wearing when it comes to a completely different season but I love making a mental note of whats going to be available and then when it drops online or in store I'm always happy I did a bit of pre planning.

Carmakoma continue to be one of my favourite plus size brands. They offer quality, on trend pieces and yes, I'm not going to sugar coat things they are on the more pricey end of the spectrum BUT that's what we need! We need quality, luxury items just as much as we need fast fashion. We need choice and thankfully with brands like Carmakoma; we now have that! Hurray!

Here's a little sneak peek, (before they publish it on their on their website) at what we can expect this Autumn. I love the mix of super feminine and androgynous looks and as ever their attention to detail with features such as lace and faux fur mean that their should be something for everyone come winter. The white tailored 'Peacham' jacket worn over the 'Clapham' dress is giving me Clueless + Chanel vibes and I'm digging it!
