40

The number of people following my blog.

A small number maybe, in comparison to those blogs who have thousands of loyal readers.
But big enough for me, big enough to put a smile on my face.

I see it this way; i imagine my blog is a talk I'm giving and the number of followers i have are the people who stayed in the room listening because they thought something decent of what i had to say.
You with me?
So to me it doesn't really matter if there is 5 or 500 of you, the fact you stayed in the room to listen is what makes me happy.
(please don't take that as ungratefulness, readers in any number are appreciated, I'm just not in it solely for that purpose)

So yeah, big huuoowwwwge thanks to all the lovely people reading. Positively massive thanks in fact.

More love than you can imagine.
You are all very beautiful and I'm totally not worthy of your greatness : D

Reading Chain

I often let myself just get lost in blog land.

I'll just click on a link to a blog recommended by another blogger then keep doing the same thing over and over. Until i end up being stared in the face by no less that 5 pictures of a penis or three on a NY hipster's blog.
But before i get to the penis, i sometimes stumble across something so valuable it makes me smile one of those inside smiles, that you feel in your heart, that spreads to all your joints and tingles.
Just me who gets those?

It sounds corny as hell but i just think that the discovery i have made today is amazing. And if i hadn't have clicked that link, or this link or if I'd have watched TV instead i may never have heard the music I'm about to share. And thinking those non regretful "what if?" thoughts is something i sometimes like to do.

I could be well behind the times with this band, as i often am. But I'm not about only listening to non mainstream music because pop chart stuff is so uncool it makes you're ears bleed and your soul crumble into ash (blerrrggghhh).
I'm about listening to whatever music pleases me, so that means anything from Britney Fucking Spears if i so wish (and not because she's a product of degenerative popular culture and that is so ironic and interesting, blah blah, pretentious crap) to a local band that only ever released one EP (and not just because no one knows who they are or any of the lyrics).

Sorry to rant. But Music Snobbery is one of the worst kinds of Snobbery.
That doesn't mean i love every song ever, it just means that, well, i think i made my point clear.


I'm not sure what this post has to do with fashion, of a plus sized nature or otherwise.
I guess that's just how the cookie crumbled today.

I wanted to do a V.S. post but realised that half the stuff i wanted to put in it is not in online stores yet so i can't get no pictures : /
Bummer.

Peace & Love.

OOTD: Finally

Finally an outfit post.

But also; finally a denim shirt in my wardrobe.

I love jeans, i might not wear them all that often but i love them. However initally the idea of other clothes made of denim did not convince me.
Maybe because as a younger person my eyes were subjected to this:

It took a while to break out of my denim comfort zone.
I started with a denim jacket, fashion fail on me, i don't know why i just can't work it.
I then bought a sleeveless shirt, this was a winner.
And now I own this:

BOTH TOPS:H&M JEGGINGS:EVANS SOCKS:PRIMARK
(i won't even try to justify the state of my hair, i'll just ask you to please ignore it)

I was dragging my dad round H&M yesterday when i spotted this. He'd just told me that i definately did not need lepoard print leggings in my life and the universe or something must have sensed i needed a pick me up.
It's from a straight sizes range and is a size 16. I was convinced it wouldn't fit but i genuinely could not put it back on the shelf. I stared at the amazing studding on it for ages before deciding i had to try it on. I wasn't worried about it being to tight around my middle what scared me was whether it would go round my oh so broad shoulders, and to be honest I'm not sure what I'd have done if it hadn't!
The only thing that doesn't fit is the bottom of the sleeves. They don't do up because my shoulders actually go into the arms a bit so the sleeve cuff sits too high on my arm.
Seriously, so happy it fitted!

Here's a detail shot of the studs. And my lovely matte purple nails.

They cover all across the shoulders at the back too.

I get that I've raved on and on about this baby already but can i please also just mention that it was steal at £14.99??
OK so the denim is more just jean-y coloured cotton but still, £14.99: awesome.

 How do you feel about doing something different with denim? Are you all for an ensemble a la Britney or are you a denim traditionalist?

I'm on the look out for a great long sleeve baggy denim shirt now, preferably vintage, to spice up my baggy shirts collection that is perfect for grunge-ing up outfits.
So i think it's safe to say I've busted out of my comfort zone, which is something I'm rather proud of.

Peace & Love.
