Here’s a not-so-secret secret. I love fashion. I do. You might not have known that here much though, because I didn’t share photos of myself in my clothes {that sounds like I shared naked photos, but you know what I mean, right??}. For a long time, when I wasn’t feeling great about myself, I wore black all the time. My wardrobe was a plethora of black. Still beautiful black things, but always black. Now I’ve added more colour and I’m excited about getting dressed most days. Dressing my plus-size body hasn’t always been easy. In my early teens and twenties, there wasn’t much available where I lived, so I made do by either squeezing into normal size clothing or into men’s clothes. It was kinda depressing. So, now, I am ALL about fashion. I love it. It makes me happy. So here’s where I love to shop! LITTLE PARTY DRESS / UP TO SIZE 18Every Monday night, the lovely team at Little Party Dress {LPD}, release a new range of clothing which makes it a fun store to keep a regular eye on. While the range only goes up to an 18, it’s important to read each item description because they have a section for ‘FIT’ details, and it shares whether it’s over-sized. I find that when an item is oversized I can wear it, as it’s a generous 18. Shop Little Party Dress here. CITY CHIC / UP TO SIZE 24City Chic is my reliable brand, as I know it will always fit and there will always be something that I like. I particularly love the jeans, their basics, the underwear and the swimwear. In this photo above I’m wearing a City Chic bodycon dress, and the chambray top is from Target. Shop City Chic here. BIRDSNEST / UP TO SIZE 24Forget the clothes for a second, Birdsnest has the best returns policy of all the online stories I’ve ever encountered. You can return up to 365 days after purchase, and the process is really simple. Now, the clothes. Birdsnest offers a huuuuuge range of clothes, and makes it easy to shop by your body shape and size with their online functionality. Shop Birdsnest here. BOHEMIAN TRADERS / UP TO SIZE 4XL {SIZE 24}This is a label that I wear most often, for everyday wear. In fact I’m wearing it as I write this blog post. I mostly love the dresses as I find them floaty and easy to wear. They’re really comfortable, and beautifully made. I size up generally, because I like this style to be on the more floaty side and I like a little extra length too. Shop Bohemian Traders here. SIMPLY BE / UP TO SIZE 32 ILAND & CO/ One size fits most {up to around 24}This is my summer uniform. I find it light to wear, and I like to cover my arms, so a kimono is a dream for me. Iland & Co has a one size fits most, and they have a press stud if you like to cover up a little more too. They also come in various lengths too. Shop Iland & Co here. JAASE / Up to size 20If you like boho, there’s a good chance you might love this. Sizing is hit and miss, so I always opt for things that are elasticized at the waist. Not all items go up to a size 20 either, some got to an XL which is around a 16-18. Pricing is more reasonable than most boho too, but the quality isn’t as great as Spell or Arnhem. Shop Jaase {via Salty Crush} here. SPELL / Up to size XXL {around size 18-20}There are no clothes that I feel more beautiful wearing. This isn’t a plus size brand, but they have recently extended sizing to XXL {which is around an 18-20 depending on the type of clothing}. I don’t fit everything in this brand, but the elastic waist dresses are a yes for me. The prices are high, but they are pieces I will keep forever. Shop Spell here. KMART / Up to size 26I have to be honest and say that I haven’t found many clothes here that I love, but this one dress has been quite the gem and enough to make me check their site regularly for beautiful pieces. I mean, it was only $25. Bargain! Shop Kmart here. NEW LOOK / Up to size 22New Look often has hidden gems. They’ve recently launched a curve range, but it’s not particularly generous, so keep that in mind. I love the fun prints they have. Shop New Look here. HARLOW / Up to size 26I am obsessed with Harlow for basics. They are such quality and they last super well. Their bodycon dresses are perfect and wash so well, and their tee range is perfection. I love them for exercising, and for wearing for jeans. Shop Harlow here. MODCLOTH / Up to size 34Ah, Modcloth. I’ve loved these guys for almost a decade now. It’s not somewhere I shop super regularly, but I check out often. It has a bit of a vintage vibe and really great quality. They’re a US company, but have affordable and quick shipping. Shop Modcloth here. ARNHEM / Up to size 16Now, don’t get too excited here. Arnhem doesn’t do extended sizing, so it’s not something you can rely on for plus size clothing, but it’s worth keeping an eye on items for kimonos, or for when they release a generous fit item. The quality is stunning though. Shop Arnhem here. ACTIVE TRUTH / Up to size 26I’m obsessed with this brand for exercise gear. I actually won’t wear any other exercise pants cos these are so good. They go up to size 26, and don’t roll down. Brilliant. I’m releasing a collaboration with Active Truth next month, so stay tunred. Shop Active Truth here.
GORMAN / Up to size 14OK, I know this only says 14, but they do the most delicious designs and if you choose carefully, you can opt for an oversized option and they fit up to 18/20 {depending on your bust etc}. They’re worth trying out! Shop Gorman here. ASOS / Up to size 32Ah, ASOS. This is on trend stuff, and they’re always bringing out new stuff so it’s fun to keep an eye on. Shop ASOS here. Also worth a mention are, The Iconic, Eloquii, Blue Bungalow, Whitehaven Emporium, Zarc, and Neon Cherry.
Do you have any plus-size stores to add? I’d love to know about them! from https://fatmumslim.com.au/where-i-like-to-shop-plus-size-clothing/ 8 Must-Try Baked Oats Slimming World Recipes – The perfect way to start your day is with one of these amazing recipes. If you have been doing Slimming World for quite a while, you certainly won’t be new to the craze of Baked Oats. They are hugely popular because they are super easy to make and really filling. Plus as they can be made in advance, so they are super convenient for those who have a busy morning schedule. from http://www.slimmingeats.com/blog/8-must-try-baked-oats-slimming-world-recipes Happy Sunday ? How is everyone? I am a happy girl as I had a 4lb loss this week. I am writing to you all today because I want to share with you my weekly food diary… I receive emails on a weekly basis asking what I eat each week or asking why they aren’t losing weight? I do my best to offer advice on peoples food diaries but I cannot always answer everyone. So I thought putting together what I have eaten this week may give you all some ideas, or see where you might be going wrong…
Firstly let me give you a few tips/rules that I follow…
Am I perfect? No… I don’t always stay on plan, I gain weight on our holidays and I cannot seem to get past my 4 stone loss! I always tell friends and family that I am excellent at telling everyone else how to lose weight but rubbish at doing it myself! But I do know how the SW plan works and how to lose weight with it. That is why you are here right? One of the BIGGEST tips I can give you is to don’t go it alone. Either get your family involved, join a group or get on instagram and start posting your meals. To help me track my Syns I print my awesome Syn tracker guide each week and stick it in the kitchen. CLICK HERE TO PRINTNotes about the diary:
