I Need Your Help...

Last week I ended up browsing the New Look sale and was completely overwhelmed by the 50p accessories. I ended up buying a headband, some bracelets and then a necklace. It wasn't until I got home that I realised the reason why the necklace had been reduced from £10.00 to 50p was because it was in fact broken. As I never even noticed, part of me thinks that I could get away with wearing it, but part of me thinks that wearing a broken necklace is stupid. This is where you come in! Do you think it looks okay, or should I just bin it?

I'm aware it's really obvious in the second photo, but I'm convinced that it doesn't look too bad in the first. Please be honest. :)

Saturday Takeover 003.

Today's post is from Peg, who is such a lovely girl and she always leaves lovely comments on my blog. Her post is on plus size fashion...

(All clothes are from New look and Dorothy Perkins online sales)

Hello, I am Peg your average Londoner in my 20’s. I have been lucky enough to guest on Jess’s marvellous blog. On my blog What’s New Peg, I usually write about my life, fashion, beauty and baking on my blog and writing, and since Jess’s blog is similar to mine I thought I would write a post on fashion with particular reference to plus size fashion.

I have always found it difficult to find clothes that would fit me properly and suit my shape; I’ve always been in the plus size area of fashion. I never like going into the plus size section of shops as I always think the designers have not thought about their customer, maybe they do not want to look like their wearing a tent, making them look a size or two bigger then what they are. I used to only be able to wear plus size clothes and I used to go past all the other clothes and wish I could pull off outfits that are shown all around us whether it is in mags, shops or on others. I understand that some people would not mind hiding behind their clothes, but I think that the fashion industry has dictated what people should wear and what the perfect sizes should be. Clothes should be a reflection on an individual’s personality not a form of prison.

So why am I rambling on about this? Because finally mainstream stores have began to cater for plus size fashion more openly and begin to look at how clothes are shaped on a lady’s body. The picture above is from new look and Dorothy Perkins and pretty much from the mainstream section of their sites. I particularly love the dresses, as they look so classic in design. I cannot wait to go clothes shopping to buy some clothes that are similar to these, dam the delay on my deposit coming back to me. I shall leave you lovely readers with a wish list outfit that is to be made up of plus size clothes, in fact I will be buying most of this outfit when I have some lovely money.

Ta ta for now

Your Feet Look Gorgeous!

When it comes to shoes, I'm not like the 'stereotypical' girl. I can probably count the amount I own on two hands. Being 5ft 8, I don't like wearing heels as I tower above everyone else. I'm also extremely fussy when it comes to choosing any shoes. Both my mum and my boyfriend try to avoid shoe shopping with me at all costs! For me, shoes need to be comfortable and affordable yet look pretty damn good!

New Look has always been good for me when it comes to buying shoes. Their price range is pretty decent, and they cover a wide range of shoes to fit everyone's needs. I recently purchased a gorgeous pair of pink and white stripy pumps for just £8.99 and I love them. They were immediately comfortable, and they are perfect for summer. I then looked on their website and found some other gorgeous shoes that are on my wishlist and may catch your eye.

Floral Ballerina - £12.99
