Win A Ticket To The Curve Fashion Festival 2015!

Dear readers, I must apologise as it has been some time since my last post. I have been busy with work and doing fun things, such as being a bridesmaid for Georgina from Fuller Figure Fuller Bust blog and attending Style XL. I am even busy as I write - busy being on holiday. I'm in Greece for a week with Georgina and we are making the most of soaking up the sun and recharging our batteries.

However, a fantastic opportunity has come my way and I simply could not wait to share it with you.

Little Mistress Giveaway!

Little Mistress is a fashion clothing brand that has been making a big impression on bloggers all over the place.  I first became aware of them when reading Fuller Figure Fuller Bust's review of one of their dresses and have been following them with interest ever since.

It's always great when a straight size brand creates a collection for plus size women and that's exactly what Little Mistress have done with their 'Curvy' range.

Evans Shape Studio - Scarlett and Jo Side Panel Dress (and another GIVEAWAY!)

A few weeks ago, a handful of lucky bloggers were invited to a fab event hosted by Evans: the Evans Shape Studio.  I was thrilled to be one of them and duly trotted off to London to meet up with my pals.

The event was held at the Arcadia Group HQ and we were treated like old friends by the ever-wonderful Evans team, who plied us with fizzy alcoholic yumminess and scrumptious nibbles.  We were given the opportunity to browse the forthcoming collections from Evans and some of their key ranges, including Scarlett & Jo and Live Unlimited.

F&F Clothing Julia Animal Print Gold Ring Wrap Dress...AND GIVEAWAY!

Just over a week ago I attended The Official British Plus-Size Fashion Weekend on behalf of F&F Clothing (the new name for Clothing at Tesco).  You can read all about my day out here.

As part of the arrangement, the fab team at F&F Clothing kindly provided me with a voucher so that I could buy something from their fabulous clothing range to wear on the day.  I went crazy and ordered a variety of dresses, way outspending the value of my voucher (oops).

My Blog's First Birthday Giveaway - The Winners!

Just two weeks ago I launched My Blog's First Birthday Giveaway.  It comprised 32 separate competitions for readers to enter, and there were multiple ways in which entrants could take part.  Entrants had the potential to enter as many competitions as they liked, and could therefore win more than one giveaway.

I have been absolutely blown away by the number of entries - almost 16,000 - and the level of support I have received from the companies and brands taking part as well as those who entered the prize draws.  Thank you so much to you all; it means so much to me.

I really hope that I have genuinely gained new readers and followers through this competition and that you'll stick with me and continue to read my blog.  It's lovely to have you here and I'd very much like you to stay!

But, on to business.  I am sure you are all eager to know the winners, so without further ado, here they are!
