New York you've done us proud!

Yesterday was the day of the first ever plus-size model catwalk run!
It was a complete success and the women are beautiful! Their body shapes reminded me of people who I would walk past on the street and I like this!
Here is a video from the BBC Newsbeat team which includes an interview with one of the models who is lovely and so normal!

Organiser Nancy Le Winter commented fashion was not just for the skinny and anyone should be able to wear stylish designs. She said: "It's simply about time that fashion speaks to all women. It is the first time that women can look around and say, 'I can wear that!' "

 As much as I'm going to come accross as Devil's advocate I still feel that they needed a NEW catwalk for this is a bit on the wrong side, it should just be included. On top of this I feel that there is still a market that is not being shown a fair advantage and this is the sizes in between 6 and 16! I know this is a fabulous and all the rest but I wish they would just get everyone on the catwalk from a size 6-16, no exceptions! I found out about this on the radio as I was going food shopping and also heard London should be showing a whole range of sizes which will be more than interesting to see!

Best Find EVER! (Plus little OOTD)

 Mission to de-clone!

Mum and I, when time permits, like to hit the shops. High street as well as charity. I have always been brought up in a home which in some way or form gives to charity, whether we donate clothes, books or money we have always been involved. On top of this I can always remember when my mum would bring me back a scarf or some item of clothing from one of her trips! I used to go with her when younger but of course as soon as the teens hit I was far 'too cool' to be seen out with the Mother let alone in charity shops! Gosh! Well how the tables have changed, now I am poor but I want new things :) don't we all!

Following on from this I have have come across one of the best finds ever! Not only is it a lovely piece of clothing but it also has quite a history! So here are my new beautiful black&white gingham capri pants! They were only £2.99 and 100% wool!

Alcott & Andrew, after a long time researching, is an a business which originally started in, by what I can see, 1986. They started off working around womens wear as they wanted to revolutionise how women dressed for work! They wanted to cut out the hatred of 'career clothes' and wanted women to be as excited about this set of clothes compared to their going out clothes.  The main mission was de-clone women! Amazing stuff. Apart from the fact I loved these trousers anyway, the story makes them even better! From what I can gather Alcott & Andrews have now evolved into Abercrombie & Fitch. I would love for somebody to actually research this properly and let me know! If anyone does, please email me :)

Today I wore this, seeing as maxi dresses are my new thing (I only wish the sun would come out!) I have started getting into maxi dress/long tube skirts :) win!

Floral top, H&M, £2.99
