Blogger Em Boombands Dress In Collaboration With Simply Be Designed For You 14

Earlier this year, online plus size retailer Simply Be worked with three bloggers to design their dream dresses. It was such a wonderful opportunity for Laura, Lauren and Em and they each came up with a unique design that was very typically 'them'.

Simply Be: Gok Wan Shapewear Collection Bloggers' Event

In late October, Simply Be invited plus size fashion bloggers galore to head to London to meet the fabulous Gok Wan and familiarise themselves with his latest shapewear collection. Fortunately, I was on annual leave at the time, so I donned my BiuBiu Vienna Dress (having altered the belt to fit) and caught a train to the big smoke during the day to met up with Georgina from Fuller Figure Fuller Bust for lunch and a long overdue catch up before we made our way to the Covent Garden Hotel for the event.

Eveden AW2012 Press Launch

I was recently fortunate enough to be invited to the Eveden Autumn/Winter 2012 press launch in London.  For those of you who don't know, Eveden is the group who owns several large lingerie brands including Freya, Fantasie, Fauve, Huit, Elomi and Goddess.  Naturally, I was absolutely thrilled to be invited and took the opportunity to meet up with some of my gorgeous blogging buddies along the way, including Georgina, Mhairi, Rosie, Kitty and Sophia.

Coming Soon - "Plus North" Bloggers' Meet!

Back in February I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a fab bloggers' event called Plus London Two.  It was a great chance for bloggers - especially plus sized - to get together, try on some amazing clothes and lingerie, hob nob and generally have fun.  It was a great event and even though the weather was bad we all had a fantastic time.

In the days to follow, talk turned to plans for a similar event in the north of the country, so that those who had been unable to get to London might be able to attend.  And so Plus North was born!
