I was so lucky to attend the UK Plus Size Awards over the weekend. A very last minute outing (thanks to Debz competition) I managed to see all my girls and industry professionals whom I admire and also work amongst. As the night was a last minute surprise, I had no way to buy anything. I'm pretty fortunate to own some Anna Scholz pieces so my first and only option really was to dress up in this silk number. I always feel amazing in Anna's clothes. You can just tell there's thought and love put in to each design, which instantly makes you feel amazing and confident when you put anything on.
At Plus North this year I was fortunate to meet some uber babes who I have become (life long I hope) friends with. These ladies are Hollie, Lucy and (my sister from another mister) Katie (we're the middle foursome below.) All three ladies were nominated for best newcomer blog and I couldn't be prouder of all of them. Hollie scooped the award and I'm soo happy for her.
He actually ended up sitting on our table and was the most genuine person. Sooo funny and great performer.
Soooooo I have some news. Me and Matt are engaged. He realised after I fan girled for him I was the one (and realising he's originally from over the mountain my village is stuck on the side of back in South Wales.) None of the last sentence is in fact true though (apart from he is actually from over the mountain in Caerphilly and the fan girling moment - HIGHLY EMBARRASSING) HOW BEAUTIFUL IS HE THOUGH? UGH
