Scarlett & Jo

Scarlett and Jo have been on my radar for a while now, I haven't had much chance to try them out as none of my local stores stock the range, so when they invited me to try out one of their new dresses I was incredibly excited.

I was sent the gorgeous Floral Print Asymmetric 2 Piece Midi Dress, It is a little bit too big for me so doesn't completely work, but I am going to have a play with it and see if I can make it work with a thick belt and accessories, I will post this looks at a later date for you.

The dress is still gorgeous and I will find a way to make it work for me, but I wanted you to see it as it is now so you can see how to make it work.

Well I had hoped to post this to you guys ages ago but life as usual got in the way!

I was sent 3 pairs of glasses by SpecsPost to try and choose which pair I would like made into my prescription.

So this is where my readers come in, I want you to help me choose which pair, and then once I receive them I will do a fabulous OOTD including them.

So these are the ones that I choose.

First up is the Zoe Deschanel Style Glasses, These are similar to the red pair I already have, so I know I like the shape and although it isn't easy to see here they have gorgeous orange/yellow specks on them.

Next are these gorgeous Pink retro cats eye glasses which I adore, but they come up a little bit small, I have quite a broad face and often find glasses dig in if the frames arent quite right, these it is only slightly apparent and I think that it will ease off completely with wear.

Next up are these awesome animal glasses, I totally adore them off my face but on they are my least favourite, mainly because although I am broad I do not have a very big face and I felt a little bit swamped by them, I have seen these on another blogger who totally and utterly rocked them! I am considering ordering them as a pair of sunglasses which I think will make them more wearable for me.

So these are my choices, which ones do you think are best?

Let me know in the comments or over twitter.

Gok for Simply Be

Since the first range of lingerie by Gok for Simply be was released,  I have been in love, the pieces are always sexy, fun and more exciting than the usual shape wear on the market.

When Simply be asked me if I would like to try out a couple of pieces to tie in with the National Underwear Day campaign which is today 5th August, I was so excited.

This years AW13 range is no exception, I fell madly in love with the press images and couldn't wait to get my hands on it!

I decided to try out the purple colour way in the balconette bra and high waist control briefs and I was not disappointed, they feel lovely, I would say the material is almost like swimming costume material but thinner and super soft.

The colour is rich and very sexy, I love everything about it, now the Gok range does not officially cater to my size as I am a 38H but decided to give it a try in a 40G to try to get it as near as possible and it worked out not too badly, the cup is a little small so the central gore does not quite sit against my chest, but it supports me pretty well and the band sits nicely.

 Pretty detail

 Comes with changeable straps

The straps hadn't been tightened fully in this picture but it still supported me well and gives a fairly rounded shape.

Remember to get you bra size checked regularly ladies happy boobies are always good!

Head over to Simply Be and check out the amazing Gok range 

Gok @ Simply Be Lingerie AW12 Review

Since the press images were release online, I have been lusting after the whole new AW12 Gok range and now it is released, I have been frantically paying of my last purchases on my Simply Be account so I can order some fabulous items from the range.

The campaign images are utterly fabulous fantastic pin ups!

I would have leapt at the chance to get this but I cant find it in my size, so will have to stick to the pretty knickers and bras.

As soon as I saw the press images, I began paying off my account asap so I could order something from the collection, not easy on my current budget, but it is getting there, so when the wonderful Hannah from the new PR company handling the Gok launches came to me and offered me the change to try something from the range I was so so excited, and knew what it needed to be.

Gok Wan Balcony Bra in Midnight Spot £24

The price is excellent!

I asked for it to be sent in a 38G as this is as close to my usual size as I can get, when it arrived I was happy to find the fit pretty good, it doesn't quite sit flush with my chest at the central gore but over all pretty good a 38H would have been perfect if they went to the H cup.

 As you can see it encompasses my ample assets petty darn well, I may try this in the 40G if it comes back into stock as I really love it and might need 2 for the amount I plan on wearing it :) 

The material that the bra is made from is so soft, I hardly felt it on my skin. The straps are fully extendable but made out of an elasticated material so were quite big on me, but with adjustments I made them work, the did slip slightly and get longer, I prefer straps with a bit of embroidery on them as it give it something to grip to, but it wast fast so only needed to adjust once in the day.

The blue on white dotty pattern is divine!

I was also sent the high waisted briefs to match, no photos of me in them i am afraid as my mosquito bites have been so bad, no one wants to see that! but the fit perfectly and look amazing on!

I am also going to get myself the Liquorice Racer back bra too as it is a lovely alternative to a plain black bra.

Gok Wan Racer Back Bra £22

Included in the campaign pack were these two images of the Gok slips and it made want one even more, I don't wear shaping underwear to look slimmer, i just like the smooth outline they give me under clothing.

This wear your own bra one is fabulous as it means I can wear it even if it doesn't come in my cup size, but I am holding onto the hope Gok will release one with shorts attached instead of the skirt as it is important for me to stop the old leg rub!

Please though Gok make it with the slit opening underneath and not poppers as I hate them :) 

Take a look at the whole range HERE as it is fabulous!
