Simply Be - Blogger take over Lauren and Emmas dresses.

Perfect arm length and pretty necklines .

How long have i waited for this day ? well like  FOREVER ! The day has come when we can all purchase dresses designed by Bloggers Lauren , Emma and Laura .

As soon as i saw Laurens dress i KNEW that this would be mine ! Its so dam funky . I know there will be people who say oh ''its just another skater dress'' WRONG ! Its not just another skater dress its cut completely different to any skater dress i have worn , the fabric isn't thin cotton and flimsy its durable stretch material with a funky ice cream print YES ICE CREAM ! just wow. The neck line is cut so perfectly, in fact its so darn pretty and has a ruffle on the bust which is so flattering on my bust , i have a neon yellow belt that i am planning on wearing with this dress but its gone walkabout !! grrhh . I need to find this!. 

Shall we talk about Emma's dress ? Oh go on then .. As i mentioned above , when this collection was launched , i was all for Laurens dress and didn't want any other dress , but i watched the 3rd simply be video with Emma talking about her dress and i watched her walking about in it ,and something just clicked and i connected with her confidence. I'll be honest here i wasn't going to order it because i thought it would cling to my belly and make me self concouis , but while watching that video i felt Emma's confidence ooze through and it just squashed all my insecurity's  and i thought sod it im gunna try it , im sure i can make this work ! . I am so glad i did , and i cannot thank Emma enough for inspiring me to wear something that is way out of my comfort zone . I love the tulip style , ive never worn anything like it ever , ive never worn anything so tight !! but i love it and again on this dress the arms are so right just a perfect length . 

Just thought i also mention Laura's dress , she looks awesome in it , i didn't buy it as i do not go out enough to warrant a party dress ! Boo Hoo ! Cant wait to see pictures of people who bought her dress !

Thank you Lauren , Laura and Emma for creating beautiful dresses .

Yours Clothing - Aztec Maxi Dress

Yours Clothing - Aztec Maxi Dress £32

Favourite Maxi dress of 2013 Award goes to the Aztec maxi dress from Yours Clothing ! . I love this dress , i have never had a dress that fits so well and feels so comfortable in my life. The dress is a lightweight cotton jersey skims over my belly doesn't cling at all and is true to size . I love the funky pattern i love the shape it gives me , LOVE LOVE LOVE . There are no downsides of this dress for me , however if your short or under 5ft 5 /6 your going to have problems with the length .

The dress is priced at £32 , that is a steal for such a great quality dress Ive paid twice as much for dresses from other plus size stores and not been as happy with them. Yours Clothing are definitely my go to shop for summer maxi dresses .

Have you bought any maxi dresses from Yours Clothing lately ? Let me know your favourite :-)

Vibrant Print Dress Review from Curvissa

Vibrant print dress // Curvissa // £30

Last week i was lucky enough to be sent this fantastic dress from the lovely ladies at Curvissa and when it arrived i wasn't disappointed its fabulous.

The dress is a jersey material with a zip detail on the reverse , the length is really flattering , it hits just below my knee , so classy. I sized up in this dress to a 26 and I'm glad i did , if your larger on the tummy area like myself i do suggest sizing up just so your not conscious of the whole clinging to the belly area issue! I probably could of sized up again. The sleeves are a win win situation they are capped on the catalogue picture the sleeves look like t shirt sleeves but in real life its not the case , hurrah for bloggers showcasing clothing on real women , as i could see the sleeves being a disappointment for some women.

What attracts me most to this dress is the crazy splash of colours , a friend likened it to fireworks and another to the skyline of New York!  This dress couldn't be more me if it tried ,the colours are so vibrant  the Jersey material makes it so comfortable to wear. I have a wedding in a few weeks and i think I've found my wedding guest outfit !!

Get your Maxi ON !

Samya at Evans // Maxi Dress

Asda // Cardigan

Asda // Shoes

Could summer be officially here ? The last few days have been absolute scorchers and for once I'm not complaining about the heat , I'm embracing it. I'm normally the one hogging the sun umbrella or seeking out  the shady spot in the beer garden ! I'm training myself ready for Turkey in a few weeks and Florida next year .

The dress I'm wearing is a dress i have not worn since i went to Zante back in 2011 its been tucked away at the back on the wardrobe unloved , i couldn't even give you a valid reason for such neglect ! . Ive been going through my wardrobe trying to sort clothes for my friends hen week in Turkey and when i came across the dress i thought to myself why don't i wear this more often ?. I popped it on fell in love ! I need to wear this dress more often ! . It does make me look a few sizes bigger from a side view and I'm bound to get asked if I'm pregnant but hey that's a occupational hazard of being a fattie !!

I adore the colours , so bright and vivid . I bought the dress back in 2011 in London's marble arch store it was part of Evans concessions range the brand is samya , which i think you can now buy in New Look . I will certainly be keep a eye on the Samya brand to see if i can pick up a Maxi dress for my impending holiday .

OOTD : Yours Clothing Tribal Maxi Dress

Maxi Dress - Yours Clothing Size 22/24

I recently bought two maxi dresses from Yours Clothing the above tribal maxi and the aztec maxi dress which i will show you very soon . The weather hasn't been great and i just wanted to inject some summer into my life .The weather was cloudy when i took these pictures but it did brighten up later on in the day and turned out to be a lovely hot day .

The dress is made from a jersey stretch material , which is really soft and very comfortable. The dress is  really long !! I am 5ft 7 and it sweeps the floor when i walk , so if you are short there is no way you will be able to wear this dress. I'm wearing a size 22/24 and i would say the fit is a little on the small size  .If you are larger on the belly/hips area like i am , it may cling to your tummy a little and i probably need to size up to get rid of the whole vbo when you walk look but its not that bad enough to bother me I'm fat and  no dress will hide that fact !

I really like this dress and i think its going to be a summer staple , chuck it on , grab some bracelets , a necklaces , wedges and your good to go , I did throw on my denim jacket to complete the outfit but i forgot to photograph it , bad blogger !

Have you bought any maxi dress for the summer yet  ?
