Lust List!

I am on a spending ban, not through choice but because there are some big changes afoot in the Lilybobomb household and we need to be extra careful with our money this month. This means that I am obsessively scouring the online shops for all the things I want but can't buy! I like to punish myself.

Yours clothing has quite a few bits I am lusting after this week

I know kimonos are everywhere and they do seem to be having a marmite moment amongst fashion bloggers but I love them, I like how light they are and they do look great with so many things. The colours of this one from yours are beautiful!

I can't believe how much my feelings towards trousers are changing, and I love the simplicity of these cuffed harem trousers, I think these would be amazing throughout summer and great for transitioning into the autumn months.

Dorothy Perkins is on my radar too again, it has been a while since I really loved anything, but there are always a few pieces I love.

I need more skirts in my life, I have become quite safe over the last few years and stuck with dresses, which while gorgeous become a bit boring after a while I am craving some separates! This gingham skirt is great,  I would love a gingham circle skirt but this is more practical for every day wear.

Junarose is a little obsession of mine at the moment, and I will one ay soon be adding some of their gorgeous items to my wardrobe!

I love the simplicity of this jumpsuit it looks easy to wear and it looks like it would sit in the right position on my waist! LOVE!

Evans and Scarlett and Jo are killing my will power this week!

First the made me obsess over the stunning prom dresses and now they are making me even more obsessed with the prom skirts! I love that they would look just as gorgeous in the day as in the evening for a night out. Perfection!

Simply be are always a go to brand for me and I have been loving their spring summer offerings.

I have been on the look out for a simple jersey maxi for a while one I can fling on with canvas shoes and head out shopping without a huge amount of gaffing around. This one fits the bill perfectly!

Have you got your eye on anything at the moment, share you finds in the comments if you fancy it, I love to window shop.

Plus North Premier Sponsor Spotlight - Yours Clothing

Yours Clothing

Last years Plus North was fantastic! This year looks like it is going to be even better.

As part of the plus north team we will be letting you guys know about some of our premier sponsors, as well as putting together some fabulous outfit posts for you in a series of 5 Take posts where each of us will be sent the same item and will have to style it our way.

The first Premier Sponsor I would like to introduce you to is Yours Clothing, I regularly shop in Yours as they have plenty of retail shops and an extensive online collection of clothing.

Your have such a huge selection of clothing that I always find something I love.

Head over to the Yours Clothing website to see what they have to offer or check HERE to find you local high street store.

For the 5 Take we were each sent the Dandelion Star Dress.

When I opened the package and popped the dress on, I knew it would be a staple in my wardrobe, it is lovely and light, with plenty of space to accommodate my ample chest, which is many dresses can be an issue for me.

I styled the dress with a pair of heels for a nice simple outfit for a night out to dinner with my husband, I love that in the winter I could easily pop a pair of tights on and a cardigan and this peice will last me through the Autumn and winter season easily.

Teaming it with leggings and a long sleeve top will also easily transform it into a daytime look for the changing seasons.

The best thing about this dress though is that it has POCKETS!!!!!!

What is it about them that I love, I don't even put things in them that often, but I just love a good pocket!!

The print is beautiful!

Yours Clothing are a fantastic plus size brand, they offer so many choices to women from simple basics to fabulous print dresses for bolder options and I love them.

Head over and check out the rest of the team in there gorgeous outfits!

Fatshin Faceoff - Floral Dress

This weeks Fatshion Faceoff was chosen by me and unfortunately I am so unwell today that I haven't managed to take any photos, so I am being a little naughty and showing you some older photos of me in my various floral dresses, the first is my newest dress and one of the favourites in my wardrobe.

I bought it from Simply Be not really knowing if I would like it but when it arrived I fell in love with it instantly, it is the Fit and flare mirror print dress form Simply Be and is inspired by D&G, it is not often us fatties get something so pretty and on trend! It is fully lined and a very nice material that is quite stiff, but not restricting.

Simply Be Fit and Flare Dress £70

My second floral dress is this beautiful maxi which I purchased with the gift voucher I received from Becky of http://www.doesmyblogmakemelookfat.com/ for filling out her survey, she ran a prize draw for everyone who filled it out.
I adore this dress but Haven't had much use of it yet as it is very long and I need to get it taken up a bit first, so will be getting it sorted soon, as I want to wear it this winter with long sleeved tops to and jumpers as it will cheer up my winter wardrobe!

Yours Clothing Navy Bird Print Maxi Dress £35

 My last floral Item is my Glamourosa tunic from Simply be which has a little ditzy floral print on it that is very pretty, I have had my tunic all summer and worn it to death and it it is now a bit too big for me, but I don't want to let it go so have been wearing it with a wide belt to cinch it in a bit.
If like me you have an ample bust the Glamourosa range is very good.
This one isn't available anymore but there is a purple long sleeved one available Here

So ladies do you do floral, do you like bold or discrete florals let me know below, and make sure you check out the other gorgeous ladies in there florals!

Festive Party Dresses

Christmas Party season is well underway, and I have been looking at all the fabulously festive offerings available to us plus size Ladies. 


I saw this picture on the simply be tumblr this morning and instantly fell in love with this dress, I love the draped material at the front, the shape of the bust line.

Sequin Shoulder Maxi Dress £68

Next on my festive list of lovelies is this gorgeous purple dress from Style 369 with stunning pearl collar detail, The colour looks so festive and warm.

Lovedrobe Purple Pearl Trim Skater Dress £40.00

 I have been really liking some of the dresses from yours clothing and I particularly love the gorgeous bright blue of this one, it is a nice midi length which at only 5'2" I find hard to pull off, but would be gorgeous on some of you lovely ladies.

Blue Embellished Waist Midi Dress £35

I love this dress so so much it is so festive and sparkly, Dorothy Perkins have got many beautiful outfits for the festive season and this can work well for so many shapes and sizes I still want to buy it for myself! 

Purple 50's Circle Dress £42 

Another offering from Yours clothing, this dress is very simple and flattering great for many occasions.

Black and Silver Trim Mesh Dress £30

 And finally Asos have made me so happy with this dress, I may find the neckline difficult with my broad shoulders but this can be solved with a simple shrug and I am willing to give it a go just for its spotty gorgeousness!

Asos Curve Skater Dress in Spot Lace £45

Do these dresses set your heart all a flutter or have you chosen something else let me know what your perfect party outfit is. x

Tights Glorious Tights!

Autumn is her and I can feel winter on its way! This makes me ridiculously happy.

Winter has always been my favourite time of the year, I love to be warm in layers of clothing and boots, and and the lovely @katyme on twitter asked me to do a blog about tights.

I am just starting to look for some gorgeous tights for my winter wardrobe so I can still wear my skirts and dresses through the winter months without freezing to death!

These are a few of my favourites that I have found so far.

Yours Clothing are offering some gorgeous fashionable tights at the moment, I love these Black Sheer Side Slash Look tights and at £8 I think they are a fab addition to my wardrobe. 

These Suspender Tights are a fabulous plus size alternative to the house of holland tights, I cant wait to get these on!

Evans Purple Pointelle Tights, They are purple what more can I say!

This pair of Floral Lace Tights from Evans could make a simple pencil skirt look amazing.

As could these Paisley Net Patterned Tights.

Again from yours these Black Studded Tights are gorgeous, make me think of rock chic or a little nod to the fetish trend this year.

Now for coloured tights the best place seems to be WE Love Colours, So many bloggers have raved about them that I will be making an order as soon as I can, they have 51 colours to chose from in the plus range and they also do stripped, patterned and leggings, go take a look the choices and brilliant.

My search for fabulous tights will continue and if I find more I will pass on the information.
