Seventies reborn!<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hi all. After a long long time away, I'm happy to report that I'm back on the blogging scene!</span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">This time I have no excuses as to why there's been a long drought of my 'bloginess' (new word!). So I will just continue as if there's been no break and will be posting hopefully some interesting articles in the coming days, weeks and months etc. In the meantime here's a little something for you to ponder. As the autumn\winter months are fast approaching and the fashion weeks are taking place as I speak and the stores are now stocking their interpretation of trends this autumn\winter, what will we be wearing? I'm definitely loving the 70's trends, the return of deep autumn colours (mustard's, reds, teals and browns), I can't wait to start planning ahead. I have already purchased a few key items that I will be putting towards my 70's look and will be posting images as soon as I can. One of my favourite high end designs - Gucci had a 70s influence in their Fall 2011\2012 catwalk show. I love the long flowing maxi dresses worn with exuberant coloured fur coats!</span><br />

I've never owned a leather jacket and as it was on sale at an unbelievable price, it was the perfect opportunity for me to get one! As soon as it arrived I had a small dilema...what do I wear it with? So, while it took me several days to decide what look would go with the jacket, it stayed hung up in my wardrobe! I'm a little bit crazy and insecure with outfits I put together that sometimes it takes a little time for me to have the confidence to wear it...crazy I know! Anyway the look I eventually put together came about in a sort of random way. I woke up one morning deciding that the jacket had to be worn that day and out of the blue, the look came together!</span><br />

The sun was out and it felt like a good time to tidy-up the ever expanding wardrobe. Little did I realise what I was letting myself in for! Four hours later, the wardrobe had been reorganised. The only problem was the pile of handbags I had on my bed! Handbags and shoes are one of my shopping weaknesses. With every outfit, I almost always have to have a handbag to go with it. The end result is a huge collection of bags! I will have to consider downsizing my collection as I literally have no room for them. I suppose I will have to give them away to friends\family? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can see just a small collection of my favourites below.</span><br />

This was organised by Lauren of </span><a href="http://pocketrocketfashion.com/"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pocket Rocket Fashion</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">. It was all very last minute for me and I feel extremely lucky to have been invited. Unfortunately I had to miss out on the daytime shopping agenda but the evening party certainly made up for my disappointment! As usual, my only dilema was what do I wear? I will admit to feeling a bit nervous at arriving on my own, but that was short lived as I was offered a glass of champagne on my arrival - that certainly settled my nerves! Everyone I met were soo nice - it was like meeting up with old friends! Whilst drinking the champagne and tucking into the nibles, I had the opportunity to view some of the exclusive previews from Anna Scholtz, ASOS Curve, Carmakoma, H&M, Torrid and Yours clothing. Ooh, there was also a 'pop-up' photo studio - Fashion Loves Photos, I plucked up the courage to pose for a few photos. I hope my nervousness doesn't show in them! I can't wait to see them. Haha. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few photos of the evening.</span><br />

This has been due to a variety of things - a bit of illness, Christmas and New Year hols (happy new year by the way) and of course sheer laziness! But I'm back now with my tail wagging excitedly, eager to show you all what I've been up to fashion wise!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I've been eagerly awaiting the sales and I'm glad to say that my patience has paid off. Thanks to the <a href="http://www.asos.com/">ASOS</a>, <a href="http://www.next.co.uk/">Next</a> and <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12553&catalogId=33054">Evans</a> online sales my wardrobe has almost doubled in size! Over the next few weeks I hope to post images of the items I purchased - and maybe me modelling them! Below are a couple of my favourite 'sale' items. Would be interested to know what you think. Please leave me your comments.</span><br />

A lot of the stores seem to be reviving this era. From leopard prints to A-line dresses and tunics worn with leggings or opaque tights and flat ballerina pumps. Leopard prints seem to be appearing everywhere - from faux fur coats/jackets to shoes, bags and scarves! I'm still on the lookout for a faux fur leopard print coat. Come on Evans, you recently sold out on a leopard print faux fur coat... you must restock!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, I just love the 60's A-line dresses with peter-pan collars. They look great worn with plain black opaque tights or leggings and either flat black pumps or tan lace-up brogue shoes - these are my current favourite footwear! I even try to style my hair and make-up with a hint of 60's vibe. Hope you enjoy reliving the 60's fashion trends!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here, I'm wearing an A-line dress with animal print peter-pan collar. Worn with black leggings and my black bow ballerina pumps. Let me have your comments on this trend.</span><br />

With the realaunch, Barbara Hulanicki's designs do not disappoint. I love the sparkly dresses and of course the animal print faux fur coats! Here's my homage to the Biba maxi dresses of the 70's. This dress is from Evans, but it has elements of the Biba style - long maxi dress, floral print and long buttoned cuff sleeve, and is in a chiffon fabric.</span><br />

Lately I must admit I've been feeling a little lazy! I blame it on the sudden cold weather that descended on us recently in the UK. I've been doing as much as I possibly can not to come down with a cold which means wearing many layers of clothing and keeping away from anyone who show signs of even the slightest of sniffles! I have had a little time today to put together my 'Christmas' wish list! Yes I know...dream on, but you never know, Santa may be feeling a little generous this year! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I can't get enough of them! I can't go into a store without checking out what they have on offer. The first stage is my hair accessories. I have a vast collection of hairbands and hair clips ranging from your basic Alice bands in various colours to hairbands/hair clips with bows, flowers etc! I just think that hair accessories provide that finishing touch to your look. Here is just a small collection of my accessories! </span><br />

When I purchased them, I actually asked the shop assistant if the laces were missing! She explained that that's how the style is ...lace-less! Anyway, I wear them with everything!</span><br />

Yes, tis the season to be merry and all that, which means its ...party time!! Along with the many party outfits I'm currently considering on wearing over this joyous party season - watch this space; I've been trying to decide whether or not to get myself a faux fur jacket. I've seen them on all of my favourite online stores, but I didn't really see any that in my opinion were 'drop-dead gorgeous'; that was until I spotted this lovely jacket on <a href="http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-Curve-Faux-Fur-Coat/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1172927&cid=9577&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Brown">ASOS Curve</a>. The jacket is in my opinion priced a little steep at £65, so I'm hoping the gift fairy will be 'gifting' this to me! Here's another alternative I spotted on the <a href="http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/inspire-to-plus-sizes/faux-fur-coat_204546629">New Look</a> website. This is priced at £64.99.

I mentioned that the 50's/60s trend seems to be re-emerging, as seen on the Prada fall 2010/11 catwalk show. Well, I am really excited to say that this trend seems to be filtering into the high street stores sooner than expected. For those of us that do not have the funds to purchase designer trends, thankfully most of the high street stores have picked up on this trend. I've already bookmarked pages online, especially at ASOS Curve a few 60's inspired dresses I've got my beady eye on! So whats new? Well for those of you that are inspired by the 50's/60's, have a look at the Louis Vuitton 2010/11 fall catwalk show. WOW, it blew me away! I love, love, love Louis Vuitton. Not only obviously for their fantastic handbags, accessories etc, but this show was soo obviously inspired by the 50s Hollywood movie stars in their beautiful full skirted dresses. LV had beautiful dresses in a mixture of prints and plain luxurious fabrics. It reminded me of the type of dresses my mum used to wear in her younger years growing up in the 1950s - full skirted dresses with tight bodices and accessorised with long elbow gloves, bags and her hair tied into tight pony tails. Oh how I wish she had kept all those dresses! LV did this of course with a modern edge. Full skirts were shown in leather as well! But hey, don't let me go on about it! Here's a video of the catwalk show. Enjoy and let me have your comments on this.</span><br />

I was thinking 'well' I'm not really supposed to as I don't fit (excuse the pun!) the criteria to be a jumpsuit wearer, ie tall and thin; if you believe what you read in the media. Well that was until I saw a few styles modelled on the Evans website and ASOS curve. Well, it didn't take me long to make up my mind - especially as the items were on sale on both websites! I purchased the teal and the floral print jumpsuit (see below images) from ASOS Curve and the black jersey jumpsuit from Evans.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I was very pleased with Evans jumpsuit as the fabric is soft and the style disguises the tummy area a little! The ones I purchased from ASOS Curve were okay, although I'm not quite sure about the all-over floral print! This will take a little getting used to. I had to break that up with a black cardi! The other one, the teal colour was great except for the fact it was made for an amazonian/very tall woman. I will have to take up the hem a lot on this one, hence no image of me modelling it! Anyway, I would like your opinion whether curvy women can carry off a jumpsuit.</span><br />

As hard as it was to get out of my cosy, warm bed this morning, it was inevitable that Monday morning would come round again, especially after a weekend of pure hibernation! As usual I fought the battle I always find myself having every morning ...what do I wear today? Today, I finally settled on my grey dress I bought in the Next sale last season. Its a sleeveless shift dress with zipper detail to both the shoulders and front. I wore this over black leggings and my black boyfriend cardigan and of course my favourite boots of the moment. As usual, I have accessorised with a headband! This one is my latest find - a dark grey ruffled headband from Primark. Here's the photographic evidence below!</span><br />

Basically 1950's and early 60s fashion. This is good news as these styles are particularly flattering for the curvier figure. The Prada catwalk was heavily influenced by this era. I LOVED loved the Prada fall 2010/11 womenswear show. I've already got a few ideas from the show. Whether it will be an addition to my wardrobe or accessories or even hairstyle!

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi, its been a while! Life has been busy! I've been busying myself with my dressmaking recently and have just finished making a dress for my little niece. I have soo much fabric that I've just got to use up. Here's the picture of her finished dress. The dress is in pink tafetta fabric with a green silk bow sash belt and it has a net underskirt.</span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I haven't been sewing for too long and am self-taught. No sewing classes for me, I just grabbed some sewing books from the library and was lucky enough to have a friend who is an advanced sewer that I could turn to for advice now and then! The very first item of clothing I made for myself was from the <a href="http://www.burdastyle.com/?show_burdafashion_message=true">Burda</a> website. The pattern dress is called the 'coffee date' dress. Of course the pattern didn't come in a plus size so there was a lot of adjusting to the pattern before I started to sew. Here's the finished dress. Its in a pink and brown polka dot cotton fabric and has a little ruffle detail to the front. Here's me trying to model the dress and take a picture at the same time! OMG!</span><br />

Not only do I have a huge amount of bags and shoes, but I can't resist the odd custume jewellery! My jewellery stand almost collapsed on me the other day and it forced me to look at the mounting collection of necklaces, bracelets bows etc that I kept on it. Oh dear, what a mess!</span><br />

Today, I seem to be in a 'kooky' mood. I've got on my black dress - last seasons sale item. Worn with black leggings and my oh-so-favourite boots at the moment. The credits go to Anne Harvey (dress), New Look (leggings) and Primark (boots). Oh, and that thing sticking out of my head is my black bow headband (Primark). No accessories worn with this outfit today (apart from the headband!)</span> </div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
