Back in Mid February on the single day it didn't rain while I was in London for a few days I attended the fabulous event at Anna Scholz HQ to see the latest pieces, play dress up and of course hang around with some of my favourite girls! I'm sure you've read about it this on lots of blogs by now but I'm being fashionably late(?) to the party with only just getting chance to write it up now. As always the Simply Be team were an utterly pleasure to be around as was Anna Scholz herself and the rest of her team. Particularly her pup Frida who I'm just a little bit smitten with!

The clothes are to die for and I surprisingly fell in love with a amxi dress something I'd probably never normally go near but the colour, pattern and trimmings are what pulled at my heart strings and it's certainly something I'm going to have to try on as soon as I can. I've also began a love affair with the bomber jacket of dreams, which is purely an Anna Scholz piece I believe and not one in conjunction with Simply Be? It felt amazing on, fitted perfectly (I tried a sample 18 not thinking I'd get it zipped up but it was utterly divine) and the embroidery OH THE EMBROIDERY! At this point I'm sure it's pretty clear that I'm a fashion design student as it was so colour and perfect and just needs to be mine really!

And lastly it's the lingerie that did it for me! If they'd had my size on the rail I may have had to have slipped into something more comfortably and given it a whirl, the vibrant and decadent colours are just stunning in person and the fabrics feel lovely to the touch and as I'm sure you'll know some underwear is wonderful to look at until you see what type of fabric it is.You can take a look at all the fabulous lingerie, Anna Scholz for Simply Be has to offer by clicked on this link.

Massive thank you to Simply Be and Anna Scholz for doing this event and to all the blogger ladies I hung out with while I was there and to the girls who got me on the correct transport back to my Hotel!

A lovely tea party with Fashion World and Claire Richards.

 Nancy, myself and the lovely Katie and Hollie 

While I was in London almost two weeks ago (HOW depressing is it that it's that long ago now?!) I got the chance to attend some wonderful events and this was my second one. I met up with the utterly fabulous Nancy of Sugar, Darling? and we made our way over to the utterly lovely Haymarket Hotel, which took us longer to find than it should have, I blame google maps! Once we entered through the door we were offered cocktails in a teacup but as I don't drink anymore I really went out and had a glass of water. Next up we ventured into the kitchen and had the option of getting our nails done, naturally any excuse for a bit of a pamper I had mine done the most lovely lilac colour by Essie.

After this we popped on upstairs, yes upstairs is what I said I'll just mention this now that they had it set out like an adorable little home with floral accents and sweet treats galore (basically my dream home) to find a good spot ready for Claire to talk her latest collection with Hilary Alexander, naturally the fashion student in me was very excited about this and I'm happy to report that both ladies were an absolute delight and Claire is honestly in my top five of nice celebrities I've met.

It was fantastic to hear Claire discuss the collection and she is genuinely very involved as I know some celebrities will just front something but Claire goes to very meeting, fit sessions and has a hand in what designs she wants to go for. A number of pieces were inspired by some of her vintage collection and don't worry there isn't a hipster jean from her Steps days in sight! All the pieces look wonderful and you can see the detail and thought process that has gone into each piece, I'd find it impossible to choose a favourite item but I would love to try out the high waisted jeans as I find it impossible to find jeans that look even remotely nice on me! Once the official talk was other Claire popped around talking to everyone but then ended up chatting to us bloggers for about half an hour! It is clear to see that Claire has really thought about how much of a key part comfort is when it comes to plus size clothes but she hasn't compromised on style. Basically she's an utter babe and I now love her a little bit.

The pieces are available in sizes 12 to 32 and you can see and buy Claire's Collection for Fashion World here!

Bertie!

These pictures are from the Dune press event I went to last week from the Bertie section which I have to say is my favourite! I took so many pictures I'm having to split them into a few posts, I never used to be a lover of shoes but now I seriously am!

I just want to say a big thank you to Amy for inviting me to the event it was my first none plus size press event and I did very much enjoy it as I did the clutch bag I got given which will be perfect to brighten up all my black gear so watch out for that in and outfit post over the coming month! All the shoes were amazing and I've always lusted over Bertie's collections and when bloggers wear the shoes, one selection of there shoes which were displayed in a cabbage patch no less were my favourites and they were inspired by festivals primarily coachella I even did a little video in the Bertie Shed about the shoes with Amy (the image second from the top was taken by the lovely Amy in the shed!) I don't know whether the video will ever be seen, but I do recall using the word hip honestly you'd think I was really old!

Over all it was a lovely event even though I did feel a bit out of place going to it all by myself, though I'm very proud that I was brave enough to do so! Hopefully I'll get invited to some others in the future as it was honestly so interesting! And I finally got to meet Amy who I now adore even more!

Simply Be/ Simply Yours Press Day.

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to London for a couple of press events the main one being one for Simply Be and Simply Yours and I have to say I had the best time ever! Though it has to be said whenever I see the other plus size bloggers I truly do have such a wonderful time, it was brilliant to meet some new bloggers to, who I'd been speaking to on twitter so I felt like I knew them already.

The event itself was also lovely and I have to say I've never been so impressed with swimwear! You can check out all the other bloggers posts about it for lots more pictures, I didn't take that many I was far to busy chattering away! The bottoms two pictures are from Georges blog and the Simply Be one if you want to see more. The pieces in there spring/summer for next year are amazing lots of cute embellishment's and detailing sometimes you don't often find on plus size fashion. After going the Dune group press day the evening before ( I'll post about that soon) I've gotten a little obsessed with shoes and I adore the ones simply be had to show, cute, quirky and still wider fitting utter perfection!

I'd also like to say all the people I met who worked for either Simply Be or Simply Yours and going to the pub afterward was so lovely and Charlotte if your reading this it was so great to meet you and your so, so lovely! I now realise I've said lovely far to much in this post but its the right word for what I want to say! I honestly hope I get invited to more Simply Be/Simply Yours events in the future as I feel I go so much out of it and seriously enjoyed myself!

And lastly here are all the bloggers who I hung out with who attended Lauren from Pocket Rocket, George from fuller figure fuller bust , Naomi from Diamonnds 'n' Pearls, Ceri from Curvy Girl Blogs , Mhairi from Lilybobombs Lovely Lumps and finally Em from Oh the places you'll go.
