2011 what a year!

What a year.


Well it is 2.27 am and I cant sleep so instead of writing this post later today I will have a go at it now!
This will include a small discussion of my depression do not read if you do not want too!


2011 has been an amazing year and a horrible year all in one, it has been our first full year in our new home after having to leave a house we loved due to psychotic neighbours, I came here suffering from severe depression and agoraphobia and spent the first 6 months pretty much locked in our house.
With a little work and help from the people who love me I begun to venture out into the world with people for support and have been building on it ever since!


The biggest and most positive change for me came through finally getting the courage to blog, I have been passionate about fashion since I was a teenager and my aunt used to take me shopping to amazing wholesale warehouses, but after years of feeling down about myself I just stopped trying but with my increased positivity and confidence this year I am slowly learning to love it more and more.
The people I have met through blogging have also been an amazing help and support in finding my feet and I seriously love all of them!


Since august I have had the opportunity to meet and work with some amazing people and companies, starting with Simply Be who have supported me and my blog by allowing me to review clothing for them, and helping with my requests Charlotte is seriously such a Fantabulous and Splendiferous person. ( we like those words )
As well as Ann Harvey and Yoek who looking into working with me in the new year.
I want to thank Eliza Parker who sent me a dress which you will see my fabulous review of on sunday after my new years celebrations.
Also I am going to be reviewing for IGIGI early in the new year so you will have that to look forward to.


Special thanks also goes to my Husband and steps son, and family on my side and Marcs for all the love and support they have shown me in my blogging endeavours, I seriously appreciate everything you do big and small.


2012 looks like it is going to be very exciting and daunting as I have so many new and exciting things to look forward too, I am hoping to be starting a 12 week course with the HellsBells Roller girls and reviewing some items during that time too.
February sees the epic event Plus london Two taking place and the gorgeous  A Monkey Fatshionista who is doing such an amazing job of organising the event.


I am also totally freaking out with excitement that Pinup Girl Clothing are going to be working with Tess Munster as there new model and expanding some of there range to a 3X and 4X. *praying for the Heidi!
they may not be everyones cup of tea but I have been lusting over pinup clothing for so many years and Tess Munster is seriously hot!!!


But most of all to my readers who have made up my 5000+ page views, you are seriously awesome! Thank You!


All That is left to say is Happy New year for Tonight and I hope 2012 treats us all well. x


Love from 


Mhairi and Marc and Josh.


Poppy, Toby and the puppies (Hermione, Nell and Ron) wanted to be in on the action too :)



HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Dangerous FX



On Saturday Night I was at the Hammersmith Apollo seeing Evanescence, it was an amazing concert as always, it was the 3rd time I have been to see them and would go again. 

I ended up in my usual jeans and a top as I was feeling anxious and stressed so couldn't decide what to wear.

Whilst I was there I saw so many gorgeous girls both plus sizes and not in the most gorgeous Gothic and pinup clothing, and decided it was high time I got off my arse and started wearing some of the clothes I love and not worrying about it so much.

This led to me searching the net for fab plus size suppliers and brought me to Dangerous FX, they do a fantastic range of clothing from a size 8 to a size 30 in various ranges some don't go that high, but there is a excellent range to choose from.

Below are some of my favourite styles, I plan on ordering something very soon so I can let you know what the service and quality is like.

BLACK GOTHIC PINSTRIPE FRILLY WRAP & BUCKLE SWISHY WAISTCOAT TOP 6-28 £31.99

I think this dress is so sexy and cute all at the same time, and available up to a size 28 is fantastic. 


BLACK LONG MERMAID FISHTAIL CORSET SKIRT size 8-30

£34.00
I love a good fishtail coat and anything with corseting detail is a win in my eyes! 




SLINKY HIGH WAISTED NAUTICAL BRACES SKIRT BLACK or RED 8-28

£27.50
How cute is this skirt, I love the buttons the braces and the shape! 




BLACK RED WHITE RETRO PIN UP SAILOR NAUTICAL DRESS 8-30

£29.99

I love seeing this dress on a gorgeous plus size model, as it gives me hope I could look good in this dress and really makes me want to buy it.



 

BLACK WHITE POLKADOT SWEETHEART BUNNY JIVE SWING 50'S DRESS 8-28

£47.99
What a gorgeous dress, the polka dot panels and bust line are stunning, the shape is gorgeous!



BLUE SAILOR RETRO VINTAGE NAUTICAL 50'S SWING DRESS 10-30

£43.99
I want to be all nautical in this dress, it is so lovely.



BLACK VELVET REGENCY VICTORIAN VAMPIRE JACKET 6-28

£52.99
I may be just a little bit obsessed with this jacket a well, do you see a pattern, coats and jackets are my downfall. 


50s SEXY SWEETHEART HALTERNECK POLKADOT ROCKABILLY COTTON DRESS 10-34

£29.99
Again a gorgeous plus size model for the picture makes me want this dress!



RETRO RED BLACK POLKA STRAPLESS SWING SASH DRESS 10-32

£43.00
I love this with the red trim, it is so pretty and would be fantastic over christmas. 



Sorry for such a picture heavy post again, but there was so much I liked I couldn't choose, I haven't been asked to write this post, and have not yet tried the clothing but will update you as soon as I get something and cant try it on. xxx

Kates Clothing

Today I was very excited to see Kates Clothing asking their Facebook fans which items from the Necessary Evil range we would like to see in plus sizes and what size we would like.

I have been a fan of Kates clothing for a while and regularly drool over the whole site, I might be 30 but i still have my alternative days.

Out of the Necessary Evil range these are my favourites.

Take a look around and let them know what you like and the sizes you would like to see them in.
