DIY tie dye

tie dye is on its comeback tour so why splash the dolla on a top with some tie dye on when you can do it a million times cheappeprrrr

Ombre 2.0

A coupke of months ago i had my hair done ombre but when i went to hawaii it began to fade into my red hair so the other day i decided i wanted it again! this time i went blonder and on the top layers so it is a lot more noticeable,i like this because it softens up my look a lot and makes my red locks  a bit more stand out! ombre in salons isn't cheap! so if you want a diy version L'oreal have brought out a new range!

everyday makeup

Lately i haven't been wearing as much make up as i am on a quest for better skin!,my skin is very pale but has odd undertones so i use a combination of shu uemera (couldn't praise this foundation enough) and mac studio fix which creates the best shade! For my eyes i use benefit 'They're Real' mascara which makes my stubby eyelashes look twiggy-esque ;-).A lot of the time i wear eyeshadow i am very fond of the shade 'gunmetal' in my UD NAKED palette and i think it is worth investing in!,for lips i tend to just wear vaseline now for more of a minimalistic look!.
thanks for the reading! Xx

August Faves Continued

All the products this month have been incredible! revlon balms rival to clinique! make up forever foundation matched my skin so perfectly it looked so natural!i picked up origins super spot remover and ole henrikson moisturiser in sephora when i went to hawaii and they have made my skin amazing in a week!,another stand out for me is the super drug face masks which haven't irritated my skin which is amazing because face masks normally bring my face out in a nice red rash!all of these items i would re purchase! i hope you all get to try them out!

August Faves!

 









My go to shops!

I know being a plus size lovely can be hard trying to find fashionable clothes because everyone seems to think we want to dress in black tents! below are some shops i regulary buy from which produce fashionable clothing for bigger girls!
ASOS CURVE
i have loved asos curve ever since it has been released! They never fail to make fashionable clothes for the bigger woman and often take clothes from their main line and just adapt it!

FOREVER 21+
Forever 21 is more of a recent import to the uk from its foundings in america,f21 always have very figure hugging  'herve leger' style dresses and their jeans are the best ones i have bought!,their prices are also very reasonable with most things between £7-30 so can stock up well!,on my last holiday to hawaii i stopped by forever 21 virtually every day and picked something up because there plus size clothes are so comfy and fashionable and they prove that curves are sexy!




NEW LOOK INSPIRE
When new look inspire was launched it was quite frumpy looking clothing but since then they have adapted to a one stop fashion shop for curvy women! their prices are reasonable and always have a sale on!,recently i have seen the leather trend take show with jackets and skirts,the range inspires women to dress how they want to because often bigger women think they can't dress fashionable but they can!


Thanks for reading X


Blog back up!

i have been very absent from this blog but am ready to be devoted again! ill be blogging about being a plus size girl and how to dress for your shape and find some fashionable duds!
