Red Riding Hood.

 

Red Riding Hood  Fancy Dress Costume: Jokers Masquerade (joke.co.uk)

 

So long no blog! I'm sorry its taken me so long to blog with an actual image of me as I've mentioned previously things have been a little crazy and I'm still not back into the swing of blogging and university just quite yet so bare with me!

I was sent this cute little costume MONTHS AGO in the post by the lovely people from Jokers Masquerade (again I'm so sorry its taken me so long to post this up) with all the palaver of being ill this summer and trying to intern/and getting a job I've barely had time to think. And now Halloween is very much upon us it felt like it was now or never to show you this lovely piece. This is from there Plus Size Fancy Dress selection on the website (which FYI is very easy to navigate around!) Surprisingly there is a large selection of fancy dress costumes online here for the plus size girl ranging in sizes from 16 to 26! The costume I chose was the adorable Red Riding Hood Costume priced at £28.49 which I think is a bargain for a full outfit including the cutest red satin cape which unfortunately you cannot see in the pictures above. The fabric is comfortable and not at all tight or cutting in on my figure as well as extremely fun! 

I'm actually wearing it out tonight for a Halloween themed DJ night my brother is doing, I've blogged about them before his nights are called Through the Grapevine and tonight is the spectacularly spooky special (woah just look at that alliteration!) So I'm positive I'll get some much higher quality photographs then, these were taken during my time without a camera/tripod so please excuse the web cam shots, I was just desperate to show you this!

Shaken not Stirred.

 

I thought I'd do a little wish list post on what I'd wear for a night pretending I'm a in a James Bond film.
Of course you'll all know the new film is out now (or soon, I tune out as soon as Daniel Craig appears on screen in a suit? I'm yet to ever hit a casino but I'm sure any of these would do for my sparkling new (wish list) outfit!

I decided I would go all out with a shimmer and bling but still add a little quirky touch to make the look one of my own. The gorgeous almost twenties styled dress is from one of my old favourites Dorothy Perkins I think it adds some old school classic glamour but with a modern twist. The twinkling heels are from Style 369 I think the glitter accents stop the shoes and well the whole outfit from looking too dark. I love this clutch from Asos its quirky and cute, what's not to like?! And finally you can't go out to drink a martini shaken not stirred, obviously without a beautiful cocktail ring to adorn your hand. This one is from Topshop I decided to not have a huge diamond glistening ring as the shoes and dress already shine so much as it is!

Do you think I 'd be good enough for 007's arm in this get up?

Top/Tunic: New Look (no longer in store)

Okay so this isn't something I can currently get in the shops at the moment but I've been desperate for it since I first saw it on a blogger what seems like years ago! It's only from the main section in New Look so the biggest size its in is an 18 but I don't care as I'm sure I'd be able to squeeze into it!

I found this one on Ebay and put my bid on it but didn't check back in time and was outbid by 50p! Don't you hate that when your outbid by less than a pound! I really wish I'd put a higher bid on it in the first place,

unfortunately there isn't any other on Ebay at the moment so this is more of a post to see if anyone does have it in an 18 or even a 16 depends on shape/size I might eve get in it, it depends though! 

If you see one online or anywhere PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I SERIOUSLY WANT THIS TOP OH SO MUCH! 

New Edit- I HAVE THE TOP HOPEFULLY! the lovely claire from French for Cupcake commented and said she has one I could have yayyyy!

P.S I promise I will try and get back to my normal blogging schedule as soon as possible!
