Trying It On With Fuller Figure Fuller Bust's Pinup Girl Clothing Collection

Have you ever wanted to try on your friends' clothes?  I often see my pals looking uber-glamorous and can get some serious dress envy...so anytime I get the chance to try things on for myself I leap at the chance! 

Back in March I had the pleasure of spending the evening with the beautiful Georgina of Fuller Figure Fuller Bust and her boyfriend, Robbie.  George made us a yummy dinner and then we talked for a while before I could resist no longer and proceeded to raid her wardrobe!

Rocket Dog 'Lift Off' Patent Lace Up Wedge Shoe Boots from Barratts

You might have noticed that I've posted several footwear reviews lately, but they have all been for flat or low heel shoes.  I tend to wear this sort of thing most of the time; partly because my job requires me to wear shoes like this, but also because I often find higher heeled shoes uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time and very difficult to walk in.

The exception to this rule are wedges.  I love wedges - they are the perfect way to get height without the discomfort.  Just before Christmas, I was given the opportunity to review some shoes for high street and online retailer Barratts so I gave them a few suggestions for shoes that I liked and they very kindly sent me these beauties:

Evans Flexisoles Low Wedge Mary Jane Shoes 5EEE

I've posted a few times lately about various shoes I've tried in my attempt to expand my footwear options.

This time I am focusing on the high street and online plus size brand Evans.

I have long been a fan of Evans footwear - most styles are available in wide and extra wide fittings, meaning that those of us blessed with broad feet have a wide range of choices to cover our tootsies.

Around this time last year, Evans launched a new footwear line called Flexisoles.

Forever 21+ Denim Jacket

A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of the company of my beautiful friend Hanna from The Wardrobe Challenge.  We met at Westfield Stratford City in east London and proceeded to shop our socks off.

It was a fabulous day and we battled through the crowds to nab ourselves a fair few bargains.  I managed to get something I had been wanting for quite some time - a denim jacket.

Regular readers of my blog won't be surprised to learn that I have struggled in the past to find a denim jacket that works for me - with my big boobs and small waist it's been almost impossible to find something that fits well and does not hide my curvaceous figure.

Update: Maidenform Flexees Shaping Leggings

I don't usually blog midweek as I prefer to wait until the weekend so I have more time to think about what I want to say.  However, today I made a bargainous discovery that I wanted to share as soon as I could.


A little while ago I posted a review of the Maidenform Flexees Shaping Leggings I'd bought from Figleaves.  I have come to love these leggings and wear them an awful lot around the house.  Admittedly, I haven't worn them out in public all that much but I have been brave enough to do so twice and I was surprised but thrilled to find that no-one stared at my awful legs or laughed or made hurtful comments.

Shapewear: Maidenform vs Debenhams

One of my friends recently made the mistake of telling me there was a 15% off deal at Debenhams online.  I LOVE a bargain so of course I immediately scurried off and placed a huge order (whoops).


One of the many things I ordered was shapewear.  On a day-to-day basis I wear Matalan shapewear tights or their high-waisted shorts.  However I sometimes find that these items roll down when worn over an extended period of time so I have been keeping an eye out for something similar but with over-arm straps to stop the roll-down.
