Is It Spring Yet?

I don't know about you but I am extremely bored of winter, the cold weather, the rain, the wind. The only good thing is the beautiful sunny days we get, but even then we have to wrap up in coats and gloves.

I have been dreaming of Spring for a while now, and have decided to share some outfits for the next season, and of course, I have made these outfits plus-size friendly! 

Outfit 1:

Perfect for a Sunday morning walk by the river, a busy afternoon in lectures, or for a casual day in the office.

Navy & White Striped Blazer, £14 by George at Asda.

Navy Espadrilles, £19.99 by Flossy at Office.
Navy Chain Necklace, £9.99 by New Look.
Taupe Leather Satchel, £104 by The Leather Satchel Co.

Outfit 2:

I love the simplicity of this jumper, it's great for a shopping trip, or for late spring evening.

Red And Navy Jumper, £28 by Junarose at Asos.
Handbag, £39.50 by Marks & Spencer.
Dark Blue Skinny Jeans, £12.99 by New Look.
Navy Espadrilles, £19.99 by Flossy at Office.

Christmas Fair Goodies.

My mum, sister and I took a little trip over to the annual Christmas Bazaar hosted by the Chiltern American Women's Club. It hosted in aid of local charities and is filled with homemade produce, clothes and beauty products. 

After having a wander around all of the stalls, we decided it was time to spend money.

The first thing we bought were these candles by WoodWick, these candles smell so good, but they also crackle when the burn so you get the sound of a wood fire, without the wood fire. My sister has been raving about these for months but has never been able to find stockists in England. Until Now...


This Christmas set is £26 and the Cinnamon Cheer & Frasier Fir really creates a heavenly Christmassy smell. 

This candle is a Trilogy, I persuaded my mum to buy it for me as a Christmas present, so I haven't lit it yet. I usually get a little bored with having the same scent, especially as these candles burn for 100 hours each. 


The lid that comes with the candle is a perfect coaster to protect the surface the candle is sitting on.

You can buy WoodWick Candles here.

The next product I bought is from Ruby Red, It is a completely natural lip balm. I think it Vanilla & Honey, and it smells good!


The lip balm was £5 and is very smooth to put on, such a bargain espcially in time for the cold winter we're expecting.


You can look at the other products in Ruby Red's range on their website.

Last but not least, I purchased these two lovely scarves. I'm absolutely in love with wearing scarves at the moment, unfortunately I cannot remember the company that was selling these, but they were 2 for £15.


I don't have any scarves with stars on, or any with a darker colour, so though I would definitely be able to wear this regularly.




How pretty is this bird print?

Autumn/Winter Outfit


The nights are getting darker and the days colder, yep, I think it's officially Autumn. I love Autumn; the beautiful red leaves falling and being able to take the dog for a walk without getting seriously sweaty. I have put together this outfit which I love, perfect for the coming seasons.


Ivory And Gold Foil Butterfly Print Blouse With Gold Trim: Yours Clothing: £26

Evans Black Four Pocket Wax Trim Jacket: Evans: £69.50

Evans Brown Stitch Seam Riding Boots: Evans: £55

Inspire Black Skinny Jeans: New Look: £14.99

Handbag: H&M: £29.99

 All of these items work great with other items of clothes, I am in love with the wax jacket, I would love a Barbour but they only go up to a UK size 16, so this jacket from Evans is a perfect alternative!
