Shop My Depop

Hi peeps

Well I just had to tell you about my Saturday. i decided to take a train to London and check out the Shop My Depop Event at Dalston Pier. I have to admit, i went because I just had to meet Tess Holliday. She has become some what of an idol for me. I completely admire her for what she is doing to the fashion industry and to all of us adverse folks self esteem. Finally there are so many types of beauty and they are all being recognised!!

Yes, it is true. The is all hers!


Ok so now back to my point. This shop my Depop event. It showcased stock from many well known Bloggers, Depoppers and basically boss, slaying babes.

I was able to rummage through the racks of Felicity Hayward, Michaela Gingell, Philomena Kwao, and the amazing Tess Holliday

Busy from the beginning


Chanel Boateng was also meant to be there and I was absolutely gutted when she wasn't. One day I will meet that woman!

It was an amazing way to network, meet fellow bloggers and people influential in the plus size fashion business.

I was so glad the stock was from size 14 upwards, so i felt completely comfortable searching through clothes. For once i was able to keep my cool and keep my spending to a minimum. My first and most important reason for going was to meet and network with people, the shopping was a bonus.

After chatting by email and Facebook I finally got to meet the plus Connection's Christina Arisci
My happy place: Shopping!


I bought some fantastic jewellery felicity which will be great for the many appearances I have in the coming weeks.

Then I just had to look through Tess' rack. I managed to snap up a #Eff your beauty Standards' T shirt and some edgy rock chick jewellery.

I was so happy with my T shirt especially, I love the Eff your beauty Standards Campaign and everything it stands for. Beauty isn't just the conventional model beautiful force fed to us for so long. It comes in so many forms.

I will wear this with pride 


What was my OOTD you ask? Well I kept it simple with by Boohoo black maxi shirt, split sides of course, some black leggings and my favourite white waterfall waistcoat from Bow Chic.


This woman is everything! she is my inspiration and i was so honoured to meet her! I had to make sure i was 

Want any of these, well just click on the links and logos and you'll be taken to the sites.

I had an amazingly fun time, and can't wait for the next time!

Until next time Peep! Keep Slaying!!

OOTN - Miss Caribbean UK Final

Hi Peeps

How's it been. Well today, albeit a little late I am going to show you my outfit from Saturday night.
I went to the Miss Caribbean UK final, to show some support for my fellow island girlies.

Bow Chic kindly put together a laid back but cool outfit for me to wear. I got to wear this bad boy!!





This Leopard print oversize shirt, legging combo. I have never worn animal print, so I had reservations when they suggested this to me. But then they mentioned bling, and I was sold.

I put it on, slapped some make up on and then took some pics, for them to see how it looked on. WOW! My inner goddess was unleashed!
I stood taller and felt sexy! Even an oversize top made me feel this way.

I am wearing size 22 top and leggings, so i felt completely comfortable. I live in leggings so had no problems with these.







You can see in this picture that the light is shining on the stones to give it a bit of glamour.

I paired this with some simple, gin metal jewellery and black boots. The outfit was the star of this show. The cut of this gives a great care free laid back look, but the pop of twinkle dressed it up nicely.

This outfit amazed me. I do have to say, you have to be careful with the stones when washing the top, as there is the risk they will fall off.

I love oversize, but on if there is a way to show of the shape of parts of my body, so pairing the legging with this, instead of trousers was a huge plus.

This outfit is also so versatile. you can split the suit up and wear either the top or leggings as that extra pop to any other jean, begging, jumper, blouse combo. I would recommend going with statement but understated coloured jewellery o compliment it. To much colour or too much bling will be just doing the most!







All I have left to say on this outfit is that it brought out my in strength and fierceness. The print made me feel like a goddess. But the sparkles, brought out my inner sparkle. The sparkle of my self confidence.

I you wear this kind of two piece, you need to own it. Own it good! I didn't let people watching me get to me, I just owned it and strut.









In a good light, you can see the stones sparkle to give you a little spotlight of you very own. I will definitely be wearing this again and so grateful to Bow Chic for sending this to me!

Release you strength and sparkle!

Until next time Peeps!!

Crochet Braids Are Back!


Hey Peeps,

So I has a couple of weeks of having my hair in the open, but last week I thought it was high time the fro went back to sleep.

Thursday I headed back to the salon and decided to stick with what like. Little did I know, Crochet braids don't have to be only super curly hair! It was a good thing I didn't bring my own hair.

I went for this effortless wavy look and love it!

Journey from Fro to Un-beweavable!
This time they gave me an invisible parting, so the knots are not visible. It looks like i just have a weave. I had no idea I could have this sort of style and not have to go with a sew in!

The braids are so versatile. I can have them up in a ponytail, side braid, top knot . Anything really. 
They done such a good job with them, I couldn't be happier.


OK I had an itchy scalp so that's why I have the tousled look!
They are so easy to maintain. I found the curly ones had me twisting and detangling every day for at least 30 mins. IT got a bit much in the end. Sometimes you just want to sloth. With this style, I just brush it and put it in a bun for the night. 

They are easy to sleep in and easy to just get up and go. I wrap a satin scarf around my hairline, to protect it. I use a satin bonnet over it to protect the weave. They are unusually easy to sleep in.

In the morning I literally, unwind the bun shake it out, finger detangle and go about my business. These are definitely a winner. 






swept to the side to give an extra sleek look for a glam night

I had an event to go to on Thursday and of course spent so much time on my make up, I left none to do my hair.

I just brush my hair to the side, added a bit of smoothing serum (GHD) and clipped the back to have a swept glam look.

I felt so glamorous. In this picture I am wearing a Boohoo Plus, Navy deep v neck maxi dress. I decided the event wasn't the kind to wear the v next to the front (I am blessed there so maybe not). Instead I flipped the dress and my necklace to make it a backless number.

The dress was so affordable, but made me feel like an A lister!!



After a night out, they still look on fleck!


Of course, I wouldn't be me with a 'Feeling myself' selfie They held up so well considering I hadn't brush them for 8 hours.

Still slaying after midnight. No matting, tangling or any comprise to the hair.

These Crochet Braids are purely synthetic hair, but they look so natural.

Glam hair for a fraction of the cost




It's now been over a week since they were installed, and they still look like I just stepped out of the salon. The real test is the test of time, but with care and attention, these should last me until my roots look ratchet. 

I will definitely have these done again, only with an ombre effect. I'm thinking violet ombre. What to you think???

Like the look? Why not check out Revelation hair and beauty.  Click here to see all their different treatments. 

Until next time peeps!!

Finally Got It!!

Hey Peeps!

you all know I'm a bargain queen and I love me cheap and cheerful buys, including make up! Well I caved. For ages I wondered how Urban Decay would look on my toffee skin.







When I modelled at Suffolk Fashion Week, the beautiful Hayley Sparkes used the naked palette on me. I loved the shadow on my lids. It was gorgeous!





Today I headed to Bury St Edmunds to do some 'Christmas shopping'. Went to Debenhams with the best intentions and everything. Oh well hello Urban Decay. What was that? 10% off prices? Well let's take a look. Wait what? Naked smoky marked down and 10% off? Well I'm only human!

Yep I bought it! The most expensive beauty purchase of my life, but I had a sneak peak at the palette and it is well worth my broke-ness! I will be using it for my appearance at the 'Stars of Norfolk'

Watch this space for my Naked Smoky eye look xx

Peace and Chicken Grease Peeps!!
