British Summer time is here (yes I know you probably can't tell by the way the weather has been acting,) but last Saturday despite the rain I put on this adorable outfit and headed to Portobello Road, for brunch and to catch up with friends.

ASOS Curve - The Little (but sexier) Black Dress
Tuesday, 21 April 2015
When I saw this dress and at the price it is at I put it straight in my basket and bought it without a second thought. This is what my wardrobe is all about atm. Finding those pieces that can be dressed up, that are muted in colour and simple but edgy in style...
nothing to wear

Black is the new Black - Khloe Kardashain inspo
Thursday, 26 March 2015
Black will always be a go to colour for me as a foundation to an outfit, but I very rarely wear head to toe black. I leave this in the trusty hands of my best friend Octavia. With my new sophisticated style I decided to fully dress in black. I teamed this sleeveless turtle neck crop top with a maxi skirt with slits at either side. I also took some inspiration from Khloe Kardashian. She is most definitely my favorite sister. Honestly if we knew it each other I think we'd be best friends (in your dreams Mic.)
To say I felt fierce is an understatement. I love how clothes can make you feel and give you strength and confidence. I love the side slits up the skirt. they are so seductive, I can just show off a little leg by posing, but then hide them away :p. I feel like calling this outfit sophisticated goth? (without offending anyone.)
I just can't wait to rock this outfit on my next big night out, maybe with a brighter lip and chunky bracelets?

#HeresWhatIWouldHaveSpent Asos
Monday, 23 March 2015
I love Asos Curve and It's definitely not a secret to anyone. Premier is a god send as it gives me the convenience to receive things next day so I never have to wait too long to wear my bits.
As much as the curve range is pretty good atm. There are a few bits in the main range I'd love to get my hands on. I chose 7 lucky looks (let's hope the luck rubs off and we see things like this in the Curve range soon) for Debz challenge #HeresWhatIWouldHaveSpent

Moschino, eat ya heart out. I'm a barbie girl in a barbie world.
3. Print Pencil Dress

Trending in the Plus Size Community
Wednesday, 18 March 2015
trend
trɛnd/
verb
- change or develop in a general direction.
synonyms: move, go, tend, head, drift, gravitate, swing, shift, turn, incline, lean, veer
"interest rates are trending up in Japan"
- "Trending" is a mutilation of the English language that means "currently popular."
So correct me if I'm wrong but pretty much all of us would love to be trending. Whether it's an instagram picture that goes viral/appears or trends, our websites/blogs trending on tumblr/Bloglovin etc or even a hashtag we've created hitting the trends section at the left hand side of your homepage. We'd all love that recognition that comes with being noticed and having our pageviews/followers fly through the roof.
I for one have never ever really hit the top, but I have had the pleasure of taking part in hashtag movements such as #youarefab and have been fortunate to be interviewed for a major UK publication all due to my blog. Of course with those highs comes lows though. Everyone in the blogsphere has probably experienced both these emotions (some more than others maybe,) but I think it's so easy to get caught up in what others are achieving than it is to look at what you are.
Recently I've seen some upset amongst people. I understand the frustrations I do, because I probably experience those exact feelings sometimes, but it's what we do with that emotion that counts.
I'm so proud of the direction the Plus industry is going in. Brands are much more aware of our presence and are working hard (some more than others) to accommodate us all. Although Twitter/Blogs are there to vent and rant, I do feel that maybe we all should take a look at how far we've come not only individually, but as a group. Don't let those frustrations get the better of you. I for one just think of how far I've come, what I've achieved and also the reason for me blogging. I'm not gifted left right and center and that's okay, I'm hardly noticed by a lot of brands if I'm honest, but when I receive comments & emails stating how I've changed one persons view on their selves and how they dress, I feel like my influence is there and is done.
Anway, enough of the deep stuff. When I spotted this t-shirt, the shape was what stood out, but also how the print was set up like a dictionary definition. The topic of Trending just stood out and I found it ironic and fitting to how I was feeling whilst shopping. I just thought it'd make for a fun tongue in cheek outfit.
Who knows maybe this post/outfit will trend? but like I said, if this look/post can just take some unnecessary pressure off and it's here just for your enjoyment, I'm happy
