OOTD

Supermarket clothing ranges are one of my fave places to shop. Their ranges are pocket friendly and the lines are up dated almost weekly!

On a recent trip to my local Tesco I spotted this dress and had to have it! If it looks familiar it's because some one wore the same dress to Plus North!

I got the dress in my usual size 22. It's a tad to big but love it anyway.

It was über comfy and I got comments on it all day!

Dress - £10 Tesco

Cardi - £12 Asda

Shoes - Primark

A Weekend of Fun Pt2 - The Main Event

Saturday was the big day! The day myself and Becky have spent months working hard on! It was event day!!

PLUS NORTH DAY!

First of all I have to thank each and every person and company who bought tickets and sponsored Plus North!

Without ALL of you there would have been no Plus North.

A special thank you to Simply Be. From venue hire, Models outfits (which they got to keep!) and outfit for me and Becky. THANK YOU!!!!

I am just going to show you a few of my favourite pictures. I didn't take any on the day so thank you to Meg from Simply Be and my fab cousin Kitty who came on her day off to be photographer extraordinaire!

In the next few posts I am going to do individual thanks and a list of the prize draw winner. As well as an OOTD of my dress!

For now, Toni

A weekend of fun Pt1

As most of you are aware, Saturday was mine and Becky's big event, PlusNorth. Before the event really got going I met few of the bloggers already in Leeds!

My weekend started on Thursday night when I met the fabulous Caroline and Kathryn for the Nelly Shoe Event.

Held at the stunning Oracle Bar in Leeds, Nelly was offering the first 150 girls in a free pair of shoes!!! Yes, a free pair!

As I would actually be late to my own funeral, Caroline and Kathryn were right at the front of the queue when I arrived. We want to be inside the first 100 in as we got a goody bag! Once we were let in, it was shoe heaven!!!! The shoes were unfortunately behind glass but they were still stunning!

Apart from the Kim and and Fabulous, I cant remember what my third choice was, so watch this space.

We left around 10am with our goody bags, which were actually worth waiting for, it contained two magazine and a pair of thongs!!! Yes, you read that bit right, and went for some food at Frankie and Benny's. The food was lush and the company was outstanding!!!

Caroline and Kathryn are absolute stars! I also took there bra advised, going from a 44DD, as told by a High St Store, to a , well I think a 38G but I need the girls to check the next time i see them! I didnt realise how uncomfortable my bra was!!!!

The night ended with all 3 of us going to my flat and swapping colours and looking at tights and socks!

Review - IGIGI from Curvy and Stylish!

A while ago myself and the Becky we offered the chance to review an item from curvyandstylish.co.uk. 

They say great minds think a like! Therefore myself and Becky must have great minds as we picked the same dress!!!

Instead of one of us returning the dress we decided we would dress it differently! 

I picked casual and Becky picked formal.

I teamed it with my trusted denim jacket and a pair of sandals from Peacocks.

I took a separate pic of the sandals as I have a bad pedi going on!

The dress its self retails for £84.98 and is worth every penny. Its well made and beautifully lined. 

The dress is a size 18/20 (US), so approx. a 22/24 UK and it's a tad too big, I can get the dress on and off without undoing the Zip and I am forever pulling the front up so the boys are away, but its wearable.

In all honesty, I don't do occasion wear as it often makes me feel awkward and over dressed. 

I would rather dress casual clothes up. 

But I would soooo wear this dress again. 

I feel a trip to the races coming on! 

What do you think?
