Evans Collection - Phase Two

Collection Phase Two

Evans Collection is now in its third year and I have to say I am finding myself drawn to more and more pieces, below is a selection of the SS12 second phase which is due out this saturday.

1. Black cotton dress £75  2. Jade Strapless Dress £90 3. DK Tan Lace Dress £55 

4. White Lace Dress £80 5. Back Lace Dress 6. Floral Shirt £45 

7. Blue Maxi Skirt £45 8. Floral Tunic £50 9. Nude Laser Cut Top £35

I am in love with the Tan Lace Dress, and the black lace dress as both seem so versatile, I have a wedding in november and I am tempted by both of these as they are both so classic and sexy.

The have added some fabulous on trend aqua colouring into the collection, this does it for me simply because it is my favourite colour, and while the floral blouse isn't my usual cup of tea, it does look mazing in the PR shots.

I have added a selection of the PR shots below to show you how they have styled them, I am hoping I can get hold of an item from the collection at some point in the future as I really want to see if the quality is worth the price.

Some time next week I think I will head in store and try on some of my favourite items and see what I love.

Have you bought any items from the collection, do you love it?

Joe Browns @ Simply Be

I have been finding myself perusing the internet a lot recently lusting after summer clothing, this is a new and interesting thing for me, as I am most definitely a winter girl, I love wrapping up warm, and knowing I don't need to worry about showing my arms and legs off.

Blogging has really been a huge help in ways I am only just realising, I don't feel the anxious tightening in my stomach, just looking at sleeveless dresses I once did or looking at them, then trying to find a cardigan to wear with it.

Whilst doing this searching I came across this dress on the Simply be website from Joe browns, and just fell in love. I didn't rush to find a cardigan so I could safely take of my jacket in public, but I did see the denim jacket and loved it. I choose some boots so i could stay more in my comfort zone, I am never THAT girly.

The only thing I would have to do to the dress is alter it so it has straps as I cant wear a halter neck at all, but that is easy to do so not a problem at all.

I think it could work well during the chillier months too, with some tights and a top under, and bring a little sunshine into my late winter life.

I think I will always be a winter girl at heart but it is nice to be able to look forward to the warmer ones too.

Are you beginning to look forward to the warmer days?

Head over and take a look at the Lookbook yourself.

Simply Be SS12 Launch event

Yesterday I had the pleasure and privilage to be invited to the Simply Be SS12 Launch, it was such an amazing day and I saw some gorgeous clothing and underwear that I cant wait to get my hands on.

I will start my account of the day with my journey, which turned out to be so embarrassing and hilarious that it kept me going all day.
When I got off my train at kings cross and headed for the victoria line to get myself to oxford circus, I noticed my skirt was very swishy in the wind walking to the underground, but I didn't think anything of it.
I should have.... as I entered the platform for the victoria line, a train was just leaving the station add a big gust of wind flew down the tunnel, this resulted in my skirt flying up and over my head revealing my tights and knickers to the people on the platform, the guy nearest me was trying so hard not let me see his smile but to be honest I was laughing so hard I did not care.

My only thought was, well if I can survive that I don't need to worry about the rest of the day, and I really didn't.

I took a few photos from the event and more can be seen on the Simply be and Simply yours blog pages so make sure you check them out.

This is going to be a lot of pictures.

This gorgeous White and Red set jumped out at me the instant I walked int he room, I love a good polka dot, and this is a GOOD polka dot!

The shape wear all looked divine, with beautiful lace panels and sexy shapes so much nicer than the often boring black or frumpy looking sucky in bits of the past!

I need a holiday just so I can both of the retro inspired polka dot swimwear and also the other red/white/blue print tankini to the right, they looked absolutely fab!

All the other colours looked gorgeous too.

Chanos bra with the most gorgeous little details, so pretty.

The lovely Ceri from Curvyguru! 

These WILL be mine!

Finally a company is realising we don't all want to wear shapeless black tents!!

Pretty Bags and sandals for the summer.

My picture doesnt do them justice but these were such a gorgeous coral colour and the heel looked perfect, anyone inviting me to a summer wedding?

Lace and pink, felt gorgeous!!

Think I have found my summer maxi dress.

Loved how vibrant the colours are.

Loved this dress fat girls CAN wear white!

The girly pink flowers on this little shrug jacket were just gorgeous.

And the jumpsuit teamed with it, may have tempted me to give one a try, it felt soft but the material was heavy enough that it didn't feel like it was going to cling in all the wrong places and hang like a sack.

Not usually one for yell but I loved this blouse with its tiny black stars all over, think this will be added to my wardrobe as well.

And all of us bloggers together.
Back left to right Em from oh the places you'll go, Ceri from curvyguru, Naomi from Diamonds 'n' Pearls, Me, Georgina from fullerfigurefullerbust.

All the wonderful people i met yesterday were so friendly and made me feel welcome, especially as I was a nervous wreck, I really hope I get to spend more time with them in the future as I had a fabulous day.

I would like to say a special thank you to Charlotte Simply be who has been so fantastic inviting me along and allowing me to select some gorgeous items from the current collection online at Simply Be for review.

So watch this space my reviews will be coming up in the near future.
