Titillation.

Little bit of titillation for you here on the blog today.

I have boobs and they need supporting. Thanks to my Fibromyalgia, I suffer with chronic back pain and seeing as my boobs are heavy and on the larger side they need to feel supported and the bra needs to be as comfy as possible. I usually wear a 38G/GG but when MyCurvesandMe contacted me to see if I wanted to review a bra; I decided to go up a size in the band measurement and I went to a 40G. Now, I know you should try to stick with your measurements so that you get maximum support etc BUT on this occasion, seeing as I am suffering so much from back pain at the moment (sorry, I try not to whinge normally about this sort of stuff here on my blog) I decided to throw that out the window and went with a band measurement that I knew wouldn't add extra pressure on my back but still hold them in place and look pretty all at the same time.

This lovely bra by *Sculptresse is still available on their site in sizes 36F - 46H and I'd recommend it for those of you with an ample bosom as it is a full cup and feels nice and structured, without you feeling like you're in a straight jacket. The bra also comes with briefs, shown in the second picture and you can check them out by clicking here. They currently have sizes 14-26 in stock and as far as a full brief goes, they are really pretty!

Have you ladies tried Mycurvesandme before?

*This set was gifted to me for review.

Missing the boat.

In a previous post, back when I started blogging I talked about the fact that sometimes you watch a trend spread from the catwalk to main stream fashion; but that you admire it from afar and that you don't try it for yourself.

This is what I did with the whole crop top thing. I've seen post after post featuring fabulous fat bitches wearing crop tops, flashing some flesh and sticking their middle finger up to the fashion rules imposed on us. I'm not sure why it's taken me so long to try it but I'm SO chuffed that I have. I absolutely love how this outfit has turned out.

Don't stress yourself out if you "miss the boat" when it comes to trends. If it takes you some time to try it out for yourself then that's totally ok.

Skirt - c/o Topsy Curvy

Long sleeved crop top - c/o OneOneThree

Jacket - old Tesco

Heels - old M&S

Have you loved a trend and then watched it go by and thought "Shit, I'm too late, I'll look silly if I wear that now"?

*I hope you enjoy how orange my legs look. Tanned these bad boys but then the light, the poor quality pics and dodgy spray tan combined to make me look rather patchy!

Stop press. I'm wearing jeans.

When I was in my teens I lived in those heinous carpenter jeans from Gap. I then got too fat for Gap and turned to Dotty P's for my jeans. I lived in them because I didn't know how else to dress myself and I hadn't found my love of fashion just yet.

I moved to London when I was 18. Still living in jeans but switching it up a bit with jazzy tops...vom.  After a few months of studying at The University of the Arts, I started to experiment and I started to dress in crazy vintage dresses, sequin jackets and colourful tights. I totally ditched the jeans and I haven't worn them since.

I've tried to find jeans that suit me, I really have. I find hunting for them bloody boring though. I like them to be high waisted to hold my belly in and I like them to be tight at the ankle and go high enough up my thighs so that my legs don't rub when I walk. I'm not sure what it is about jeans but when I have tried to wear them in recent years I tend to feel frumpy and un-sexy. I'm not sure why though!

Just when I was giving up hope of finding a fabulous pair of jeans, in walk Topsy Curvy. I couldn't recommend them enough. They go nice and high and sit where I like them, just above my belly button. I like the wash on them and I like that when I walk around they go nice and high up (in my crotch area sorry..not sorry) so that when I do walk around my fat thighs don't rub together.
The only problem I have with this pair of jeans is that they are too long for me. This is always a problem for me as I am a short ass, but I got over that by rolling them up and sometime in the coming
weeks I will get them taken up - problem sorted!

Jeans - Topsy Curvy

Sheer striped top - Tesco Clothing

Heels - old Zara

Clutch - my Mums (brand not known)

Necklace - H&M many years a go

p.s I'm aware my toe nails look unkept and shitty, awfully sorry about that.
