My Never Ending Lust List

Have you noticed when you have money to spare there is nothing in the shops you really want or need, but as soon as you are strapped for cash, the most amazing clothes hit the shops!

At the moment, money in our house is very tight and my lust list is massive! So here are just a few for you to take a look at.

Check Blazer - ASOS || Heart Cardigan - Evans || Neon Skirt - ASOS || Fossil Overlay dress - Evans || Navy Lace Powerfit Dress - Evans || Ripped Jeans - Junarose || Oxblood boots - Evans || Lace Biker Jacket - Evans || Spot Jeans - ASOS

Evans have some gorgeous bits in at the moment, I am loving the Scarlett and Jo and Live Unlimited brands, Junarose is a new brand and these jeans are stunning!

The Check blazer from Asos is just amazing, I need it for the cooler autumn to wear with jeans! Please money tree grow and solve all our money woes!

Have you got your eye on anything new, let me know.

Claire Richards - Fashion World Ambasador

A few weeks back I received an announcement about Claire Richards becoming Fashion Worlds new Ambassador.

Claire Richards known for her time in the band steps has had quite a battle with her body over the years but seems to be finally settling into herself and I find her refreshing, she isn't shouting how she loves herself or how she hates herself, she just seems to be very honest and normal like most of us who battle to be ourselves and love what we have.

Personally I think Claire is stunning and an absolute hottie now, so there!!!

At the moment, Claire has only selected the clothing she loves the most from the selection at Fashion world but has fabulous things planned with the JD Williams Brand.

The lovely Fi gave me the opportunity to put some questions to Claire for this post here is what I wanted to know

1. What are the future plans for Claire and Fashion world? (own line etc)

I have designed a range for autumn/winter 13 which I'm really excited about people seeing. I've tried really hard to make all the pieces wearable for a plus size but also fashionable and really flattering.

2. Claire looks beautiful and confident as she is now, does she feel happy with herself?

I am in a really good place right now and finally feel that whatever size I am I feel comfortable and happy with myself at last.

3. Does Claire have any music plans for the future?

I would absolutely love to do a solo album, it's something that I've wanted to do for 20 years and I feel that now could be a good time.

4. How passionate is Claire about Fashion?

I am pretty passionate about fashion and I'm very passionate about making fashion accessible to plus size women, if you are bigger it doesn't mean you don't want to look great in the latest fashion but for some reason the high  street makes it impossible for you to be able to do that. With Fashion World I'm hoping that I can change the way people think about a plus size.

I am really looking forward to seeing Claires new collection for Autumn/ Winter but for now I have been given the opportunity to try out a few bits from her selection at Fashion World I decided rather than individual items I would try and create an outfit for the Spring/ Summer seasons ahead.

*Glamourosa tunic

*Neon Trim Parka

*High Waisted Leggings

I love this for the season ahead, I feel comfortable and relaxed, the colour is so pretty and very different from my usual choices!

I do need to find my purple glasses which will clash a little less with the coral pink :) 

Do you like the selections and are you looking forward to seeing what the clothing range is like?

Anna Scholz Black Label and White Label SS13

I recently had the Anna Scholz Promotional SS13 emails land in my inbox and wanted to share with you some of the fabulous designs Anna has given us yet again.

Black Label

Starting with the gorgeous printed jersey skirt and the peplum top, I love the simplicity of this outfit, but the fantastic colours in the skirt, so eye catching, this is a perfect work outfit for me, or a lunch date with the girls.

Peplum Jersey Top

Print Ruched Jersey Skirt

I love the Neon hues in this fabulous maxi skirt but love even more how Anna has teamed it with the beautiful pinks and greys, giving us the neon trend in an easy to wear way, that for me isn't too young.

Pleat Maxi Skirt

Georgette Shirt

I still cant decide if I would be able to pull off a pyjama trouser suit but this one rocks my world, and I would certainly give it a go!

It is sexy flirty and perfect for Spring and summer!

Daisy Print Belted Jacket

Daisy Print Pleat Trousers

Now I might get a little bit crazy over this jacket...Be warned.

When I saw this it immediately jumped out at me, the Parker is very on trend at the moment, but I find most very harsh looking or way to young for me.

Oh but not this one, I love the shape, the colours on the butterflies and dragon flys (I am obsessed with them), but I also love the length, if this jacket is in your reach I say grab it and look amazing!

At the moment, this is not in my price range but I think I will have to try to save up for it as it really is my perfect spring summer jacket!

Dragon Fly Parka 

Next I want to show you a few of my favourite White Label Pieces.

White Label

The colour of this first dress is divine, and the model is stunning, I love her shape!

it is sexy, yet subtle and so so pretty!

Double silk Pleat Wrap Over Dress

I adore this and could see myself looking amazing in it, at some wonderful spring summer weddings and parties

Double silk Cowl Maxi Dress

This was the first dress I saw an image for in the new collections and I said WOW out loud, I love the shape, the colour pops and the monochrome, it is simply stunning!

Double Silk Triangle Dress

Now Even though Anna's collection is out of my range at the moment, I know for some of my readers she is not, and as I own one of her Cashmere wrap dresses from a few seasons ago, I can honestly say that the dresses are worth every penny.

When I have more free money I would certainly make a purchase or too, as these are pieces that could last many many years in my wardrobe.

Head on over and take a look around ladies, I am heading over to lust after the parka a bit more!

Fatshion Faceoff - Neon Accessory

Neon Accessory 

THis weeks Fatshion Faceoff has been chosen by the gorgeous LuAnne of Weesha's World.

Neon is not something I would normally wear even as an accessory it just scares me a little bit, I was tempted to entertain your all and change my dads tyre in one of his fluorescent vests and do a bit of roadside chic! but instead I popped out to the shops and looked for something in neon that didn't terrify me too much, there was so much tut in the shops it was scary but in the end I settled for a simply neon yellow necklace from Accessorize which set me back a whopping £1 and a bag and a clutch bag form Newlook in the sale for £8.

I am surprised to say that I would use both of these items again, I think the bag could be fab for jazzing up a plain office outfit with a little dazzle of colour!  The necklace is so simply that even though it is so bright it could go with lots of my clothing.

My phone can't pick up the main colour very well in this image but it isn't as grey as it looks its more stone I cant find this one in this colour online, but they have a black and pink version which is still full price available HERE

I teamed it with my trusty Newlook blue dress from last winter as it was a bit chilly out there and my heeled shoes for a night out!

The pink is looking really washed out in the screen but it is very bright just like the picture above!

So how brave are you, do you love neon and wear it often, accessorise are a good way of trying new trends without committing to expensive statement pieces that might frighten you into not wearing them at all!

Go check out the other wonderful ladies this week and see how their takes on Neon worked out!
