One of the most heartening things I’ e seen since I began blogging is the rise of my fellow fat women studying  fashion design. In the US there is the phenomenal Ashley Nell Tipton whose collection has just launched (and who I will be blowing my next wage on); our beloved Rosie; the lovely Francesca; [...]

I really am a lucky girl – on Wednesday I attended a blogger event run by the guys at So Fabulous at Littlewoods. It was the first event they’d done ever, and I think they did a great job! I feel like sometimes I don’t give them their dues when in fact they are one [...]

You know how in my post about ASOS Curve‘s autumn lookbook I said that it sometimes felt like I was waiting for a crush to shower attention on me? Well if I’m the Angela Chase in this story, ASOS’ Jordan Catalano really decided to pull out all the stops and make me feel special a [...]

Oh my glob, you guys. It finally happened. After years of swooning over awesome independent designers in the US, Australia and mainland Europe, and being damned to shockingly expensive shipping costs and customs charges. Edgy independent fatshion has stepped up in the UK, in the name of OneOneThree. AT LAST. I’d seen murmurings of the [...]

No matter what they do they really have a signature style in their exaggerated silhouettes, either voluminous, as in the jumpsuits and gigantic skirts, or the snap-tight bodycon dresses and pencil skirts. That they’ve included (faux) leather options is [...]

Whoa – everything went a little quiet there, didn’t it? Well that’s because, by some small miracle, I landed myself a job! YEAH! So I am ridiculously happy for the moment, albeit with a little less time on my hands than usual. But let’s finish what we started – I was in the middle of [...]

Hello everyone, how are you all? Continuing with the lookbook theme on the blog, I really wanted to share the amazing Anna Scholz‘s autumn and winter collections. I absolutely love the photography, especially the doll-like looks for Black Label. I’ll let you enjoy… Anna Scholz Black Label Anna Scholz White Label Aren’t they all gorgeous? [...]

Hi my lovelies, I hope you’re all well? There have been so many wonderful lookbooks popping up for AW12 that I’ll be posting them all on the blog this week, so we can all bask in lovely clothes. First up, here’s a peek at Simply Be‘s AW12 video, with special behind the scenes footage – [...]
