Curvissa Autumn Advert - My favourites


Curvissa

Curvissa have just launched there new A/W13 TV advert and I wanted to share it with you guys here.


I have the stills of each outfit showcased and I have fallen in love with quite a bit of it.

I love the longline jumper in the centre image, it is very me, I love winter and love to wrap up warm. Her boots are also amazing! They come in a stunning red colour which I am obsessing over.
The parka is currently only in stock in one of the colours, I am hoping that it comes back in the blue colour as, this would be the perfect coat for me through autumn.

I love the 50's inspired dress on the right, I have been looking at it for months, and have come close to ordering it a number of times already.
I also love the fabulous converse trainers in the middle image, Curvissa stock some excellent brands.


Outdoor walks are a favourite pass time in our house, in the advert I love the classic trench coat, it is an excellent staple for your wardrobe, it is so versatile for the cooler Autumn and spring months. 
The Accessories in this section really caught my eye, the gorgeous bag and the tan ankle boots are gorgeous, as well as the fabulous red boots.


Party season is nearly upon us once again, finding that perfect outfit can be a nightmare and Curvissa have chosen some lovely looks to showcase.
I love the mod feel of the Circle print dress on the left, it is so simple yet fun.
The centre dress is also gorgeous, I am not usually a fan of exposed shoulders but I love the print so much I think I can forgive it. and the shoes worn on the left are perfect!

You can shop the advert HERE by selecting the occasion at the top.

I also have some fabulous behind the scene pictures from the shoot
Dash is such a cutie and it looks like he wowed the models too.

Here is the beautiful Vikki in hair and make up.

The lovely Rosie of A Rose Like This and Betty Pamper also spent the day behind the scenes watching the adverts being made and had a fabulous day.

Here is the transcript or the interviews from both Rosie and Betty.

Rosie

- Have you been to a TV shoot before?
I've been on shoots in the past but not for ones on such a grand scale as this. Normally I've been put in a little room and we all work within that but being in a large studio seeing all the goings on was a lovely change and something I greatly enjoyed!

- Was the shoot what you expected?
As I have an idea of what happens on a shoot I was aware how busy they can get and how warm it gets for the poor models under all the lighting particularly when you're working ahead and pretending its winter in the middle of summer! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming to chat to us about blogging or what was happening on the set that was something I didn't expect to feel so involved but it was wonderful!

- Which was your favourite outfit and why?
It's so hard to choose just ONE! But I loved the black and white three quarter sleeved dress (Sorry I don't know the name of it!) I think it was worn by Laura the model and she looked fabulous in it!

- What was your favourite part of the day?
This had to be meeting some of the lovely Curvissa team and the models. Seeing what went into the advert and meeting the adorable Jack Russell Dash! Oh and not forgetting the chance to spend a few hours with one of my favourite bloggers Betty Pamper! So really the WHOLE day was my favourite part!

· Have you been to a TV shoot before?
I have as in my former life I was a video director. I never directed fashion shoots though so it was really interesting to watch the process.

· Was the shoot what you expected?
In some ways yes although I hadn't realised just how many times you would be filming each model in certain poses to create the look for the promo. Its always amazing how much you have to film for one short snappy advert.

· Which was your favourite outfit and why?
The black and white circle print dress was my absolute fave. I love clothes that create clever illusions and with its black top and patterned bottom half its actually a great dress for accentuating your curves but isn't too unforgiving, which fitted dresses like this in one colour can be. I really liked how it had been styled on the model as it looked very 1950's glam which is a look I absolutely adore and which really suits my figure. I’ve since got my hands on this dress and its as lovely on a mere mortal as it is a model so bravo!

· What was your favourite part of the day?
I enjoyed it all, especially seeing all the new A/W collections. Highlights definitely included chatting to the models (who were lovely and really invested in the clothes and in plus size fashion as a whole and also speaking to the Curvissa team who are a really great bunch dedicated to getting it right for all us plus size hotties.

AW13 Trends - Texture

Everywhere I look at the moment there is luxurious textures, from sofy fluffy knits, tough spikes or gorgeous wool tweeds and I am hooked!

I wanted to show you a few of my favourites.

This skirt is a gorgeous deep red with soft velvet, and needs to get in my wardrobe as soon as possible!

I love the simply pretty cut of this dress and love the shoulder studs, very simple for date night or a party.

I have been obsessing about this coat for quite a while now!

I NEED this cardigan, I love it in this grey colour and I think I would wear it until it fell apart, it looks so cozy!

I am not usually a fan of leather but I love the mixed materials and the stunning red colour of these ones and think I could be persuaded.

Again I like the use of mixed materials here, the tweed with the leather look sleeves is lovely

This dress is beautiful to me, I love the look of the lace with the nude/gold tones underneath.

Do you like you clothes to have texture? or do you like to keep it simple?
I am most definitely a fluffy jumper kind of girl!

OOTD - Simply Be BESPOKEfit

For a while now I have been buying items from the Simply be Glamourosa range and they have recently rebranded it again as BESPOKEfit and they have branched out into other areas of the body not just our ample bosoms.

They now offer different fit options in the range for hips, bums, calf, waist, bust and thighs which is fabulous!

My problem are is my bust, I often have to size up one or too sizes to fit them in normal items of clothing and it can be very frustrating to have all the excess material just so my boobs aren't squashed or trying to fall out all over the place.

Simply be recently sent me the spot Print Tunic dress from the range and it is gorgeous, I have been after a cute collared item for ages but couldn't find anything that fitted just right!

The length is just fight on me so I can wear it with or without tights/leggings, but if you are taller it might only be good for wearing with leggings if you do not like your dresses too short.

The material is lovely and light and doesn't crease easily which is always a bonus for me!


The collar is very cute.

I want to try a couple of the tops from the range as I have only really tried tunics before but I am always looking for something to wear with my jeans.

Head on over and take a look, I wear the H-K fit and it is spot on!

Press Day Fashion World/ Marisota

SCPR invited me along to their press day a little while ago to take a look at the up coming AW13 items from Marisota, Fashion World, and Bonmarche

The Range I had really been looking forward to taking a look at, was the up coming capsule range from  Claire Richards for Fashion World.

This coat from the Claire Richards range really has caught my eye and I think I will be snapping it up as my new winter coat when the time comes!

I love the little leather details

The little military buttons are very cute too!

This dress from the range is also a must have for me too I love bird print and this is right up my alley! plus it is navy and I love it!

This body con little black dress is absolutely gorgeous, I imagine the slightly ruffled material will be fabulously forgiving.

This sweetheart and mesh top was really cute, it came with a velvet like pencil skirt and will look gorgeous for night out!as would the Sequin dress you can see beside it.

Again I really liked this dress, but I am not so sure about the sleeves, I think it could be a good work to bar dress for the winter.

Next we had a look at what Marisota had to offer for AW13

The fabulous Hanna, sorry this isn't the best picture, my flash decided to go off!
This coat will find its way into my wardrobe, it is awesome!! It felt gorgeous and soft and the leather look panels were very soft. I t will also be available in black.

I love tops I can slip on with leggings or a pair of peg trousers and feel comfortable yet sexy, this will be great for me.

I like the collar tips on this shirt.

The were also included with this check shirt.

Bonmarche had a few nice pieces, I have never tried them myself before, but the range available online is much better than in store.

These two dresses were my favourites and I may try something from the range soon to see how I get on with the brand.

The gorgeous Curvy Wordy with the fabulous spotty dress we both loved!

I had such a fabulous day with Hanna and Caroline even with the torrential rain we were stuck in earlier in the day.
