Hey everyone! Sorry I’ve been a bit silent lately, I’ve been a very busy bee suddenly. To let you in on one of the more exciting reasons, I’ve been working super hard getting ready for my stall at th...
OH NO A TEXT ONLY POST. (sorry)Being creative is really important to me. I find being in spaces where creativity isn’t valued to be really tough going because it’s such a paramount part of the way th...
Hi everyone! I started a job last week (yayyyy!) and this is what I wore for one of my office days. It’s a casual office, which is good news after so long corporate temping. I still kind of dress for...
Hello! Just a quick outfit today. I wore this to have a potter, some lovely lunch and some book shopping fun with one of my best friends Caroline. Youve probably seen it all before, but the dress des...
Spring Summer 2012 by prettymaryk on polyvore.comSpring might not have really hit Yorkshire yet, but Ive still been plotting ideas for what Id like to wear when it warms up. I had a nosey on etsy at ...
One top, worn two ways today. I bought this short sleeved knit top in the Next sale earlier this year, but havent worn it nearly enough yet. I decided the completion of my first pair of 40s-esque hig...
Hi all!So now that Make It Work #1 (copies are still available) has been out for a while, Im all full of ideas again and I think Im ready to start compiling the second one. Id like to aim to have #2 ...
A denim jacket has been on my list of items to acquire for a while now, after I realised it is pretty effortless to team with summer dresses in the Spring. Sadly Spring temperatures are still a way a...
This is my latest craft project. Ive been meaning to tackle a shift dress for a good while (given that its pretty much my favourite dress shape), and when I found the pattern for this in The Colette ...
Im a great believer of images as an important part of body acceptance. Theyre often what you base your self-hatred on beforehand, by deconstructing your appearance, and, for me at least, seeing image...
Heres an obnoxiously bright outfit best suited for the start of Spring (someone should tell Leeds that it is Spring soon though, its been miserably dark of late). I bought these green tights off a fr...
I had a job interview last week, for a pretty exciting editorial job (I dont know if I have it yet, but fingers crossed!). Since I was interviewing at a media company, I dressed smart but not corpora...
A rare outside snap for you today - Im with one of my parents in Surrey, where I am recovering from a cold and getting lots of dog cuddles. Today Im wearing another find from the swap - this gorgeous...
Hi all! Just a quick announcement - I generated the winner for the giveaway with B.A.I.T footwear this morning, and Im pleased to announce that it is commenter #13, which is Tea! Well be in contact w...
Hey all! Thought Id show off another swap find, which was this lovely burnt orange 70s-esque tunic. Its originally from Primark, size 16 (and er, VERY GENEROUS). I think Id looked at these when they ...
The internet really is a fantastic resource for craft tutorials and tips. I continue to be amazed by how easy it is to become a largely self-taught crafter, and to find resources which are (by large)...
Its been a good while since I first bought this dress, but it still remains one of my favourite daywear items. I wore this on Saturday to go to Bradford with a friend, buy some zines from a fair and ...
After taking a whole bunch of pictures today, I came to the conclusion that I pretty much always look awkward posing with a satchel. Heres my typical errand attire of late, now that Spring has arrive...
This was an errand runing outfit from earlier in the week. I love this skirt, but the length is definitely odd for me - I always feel a little frumpy in it, because I normally wear mid thigh skirts. ...
A bit of a colour/pattern/everything clashing yesterday, inspired by occasional bursts of bright sun and just the general need to be a bit obnoxious and loud. I love these tights but feel I need to m...
Another plug for you all today, SORRY. Everyone knows that Ive been making clothes for a while now, and this past month Ive been spending a lot of time getting my grading skills up to a good standard...
An everyday sort of outfit today - these pieces are pretty much my staple wardrobe items. I think youve all seen them countless times before, but maybe not together in this way.Ive been thinking late...
This month I’m teaming up with my newest sponsors, But Another Innocent Tale Footwear, to offer you all a giveaway! B.A.I.T are a very newly launched footwear company, who offer vintage inspired shoe...
I spent this past weekend at All Tomorrows Parties in Minehead, enjoying the cold weather (with occasional bursts of sunshine!), the beach and seeing lots of bands that I love dearly. As per usual I ...
Im certain anyone who follows more than one fat fashion blog will have seen this dress by now - its from New Look Inspire, and has proved pretty popular. Having read a few rad reviews, I decided to b...
After seeing suspender tights and hold ups as outerwear around so much lately, I decided to give it a go myself. Hold ups and mini skirts were pretty much my riot grrrrl teenager togs of choice, so I...
I figure everyone needs a MASSIVE fluffy jacket in their life, right. At least thats what I told myself when I bought this. I sold some clothes online recently, and kept the money to update my wardro...
When I was down for the Plus London event in February, Claire let me have a rummage through some things she wanted to pass on. This denim should was one of the things I picked up, and I have pretty m...
This was worn to go to another interview last week. The dress is pretty much my go-to tailoring - its a ponte knit with enough stretch to wear comfortably for hours on end. I dont find that Im as con...
Hows that for a goofy grin?! So today I went to the printers and picked up my zine, Make It Work, at last! Ive been working on this for a while now and its really exciting to see it in paper form at ...
