Plus Size Work Wear Challenge - 2 in 1!

Coat: c/o Matalan. Pinafore: Primark. Pussy Bow Blouse: M&Co. Lipstick: Max Factor -Ruby Tuesday.

This is my #PSWorkwear challenges Week 2 and 3 as due to having a procedure last week and it taking a long time to feel even half like myself (which I still don't) the thought of trying to get in front of the camera wasn't a nice one, so I hope you all forgive me! Our second challenge was "Pencil Skirt or Pussy Bow" and our third was "Out Of Your Comfort Zone".

So as you u can just about see I went for Pussy bow for the first part challenge as I've had this shirt for a long time but constantly put off wearing it. I can't decide if it was due to the colour or how I bought a size up and it's too big really but it's so comfortable and will be lovely for work with jeggings and converse once it isn't freezing cold! Now for the second part the whole outfit is something that is/was out of my comfort zone back when I started this blog. I never used to wear bright colours or coats in any colour other than back either. The pinafore is new and something I love and have wanted in my wardrobe for ages ( thank you primark!) but I feel again I should of sized down to and 18 in this as it's pretty stretchy and quite baggy. It's also in need of altering because of me being short so it fits a little better thankfully this is something I can do easily!

While I was at it I thought I'd take some pictures with my glasses on for a change, after breaking my beloved Gok Wan frames (sob) I'm back to my back up pair I got to review last year. I do genuinely need glasses to see with on a daily basis unfortunately they also look like "geek glasses" so I often get asked if I actually need them or just wear them to look cool. I know I've been very unorganised with these challenge posts but I was never one to stick to timetables so I am trying to keep it up but I struggle to get pictures quite often! Ps, sorry about the dodgy smiling, best from a bad bunch!

Matalan Fashion Sense - Kats Closet.

Hello Lovely people I do realise I'm totally behind with the #PSWorkwear Challenges but I will get mine up tomorrow I promise! But anyway this is just a post to let you know that I can finally tell you what I was up to in london before Christmas! I filmed with Kat Byrne the Style Editor of Closer Magazine for her online show Kats Closet which in collaboration with Matalan and ITV This Morning (I think). So basically I was lucky enough to be asked to be her guest on the Plus Size Fashion segment, which was so much fun! I'm proud I did this and I know I may of come across a little bit shy but I was just pretty nervous as hell, when it comes to blogging I normally have all my blogger babes right by my side but this was just me on my own so apologies if I look abit like a rabbit in headlights! All the clothes were lovely and I got to pick my own and it was all on my opinions and decisions before you worry that I was made to say/do anything I wasn'y at all really.You can check out Matalan's blog post on it here.

This was also featured on the ad breaks during ITV This Morning, which was exciting and weird! Please excuse my facial expression in the above picture I was in mid sentence and just love closing my eyes! Below are the images of the teeny bit on it which was in Closer Magazine this week! I'm just pretty proud of this and really hope this isn't coming across bigheaded but I'm not I'm just happy I was asked and wanted to share it with you all as if it wasn't or my blog and people reading it I would have never got this opportunity!

All I Need This Valentines... (And a Little Giveaway)

As it's Valentines day today doing my usual thing of choosing the names for the 20 cats that will live with me after I'm officially past it. Though this year instead of spending my evening crying into the Twilight Saga (yes I'm one of those people) I thought I'd break my tradition and see what Blinkbox had to offer. I was lucky enough to be asked if I fancied trying them out along with there special limited edition "aphrodisiac" popcorn, now I can't say whether these aphrodiaic powers worked or not... #foreveralone but the popcorn definitly tasted good!

Incase you have no idea what Blinbox is you can find that on there website, but basically you can watch movies onlines online as well as TV series to, I actually saw Girls up while I was browsing the site and if any of you haven't watched it yet, where have you been hiding because you need to! Anyway I digress I actually found it really easy to search through everything and I rented two movies just if you're wondering which ones I ordered to watch I'll tell you Ruby Sparks which I'd watched the trailer to a few times in the past but just never got round to watching and Hick which I purely chose because it has eddie redmayne in it and currently that man can do no wrong in my eyes, to be honest all I needed this Valentines was him in a Cowboy hat.

Now if you wish to try out blinkbox and the "aphrodisiac" popcorn for yourself all you need to do to enter is Follow my blog on GFC and follow @blinkbox  and tweet them with who they would like to share Valentines popcorn with, and why. Leave a comment below with your tweet in too so I can see it then I'll use a generator like random.org or something to choose the winner! Simples!

And if you haven't guessed it by now I'd share my popcorn with Eddie though I doubt there would be any left by the time he came round. 

Also if this alone doesn't make you want to enter surely my face below virtually vacuuming the popcorn up will!
