I have always wanted a red polka dot dress, but for some reason I have never owned one before. When I spotted this Dolly and Dotty Tiffany dress pop up on my screen, and on a nice little sale, I knew I had to make it mine. I have had a few Dolly and Dotty dresses, that had always been great quality so I didn't need much more convincing to buy that dress.

So my first experience of Sculptresse (Panaches curvy sister) has been pretty magical, I am feeling amazing in my new sets, and for the first in a long time, I am starting to enjoy lingerie again. I never imaged that at my size I would ever find a set that would be so pretty, and I never imagined that being proven wrong would make me feel so good.

At heart I am a bit of a ruralist, when it comes to relaxing, the idea of living in a little cottage by the sea, or laying by a little stream in the woods really appeals to me. Unfortunately moments like that don't really seem to happen nowadays, so my usual solace can be found in a book. Something that can really make me feel connected to the english countryside, to the calming greenery or the wild moors, (something such as Jane Eyre or Withering Heights). Books are perfect for escaping and for seeking adventure, but what if I could also find something that made me feel this way in my other comfort, fragrances? Well thanks to Gorilla Perfumes, it looks like now I can.

I have had a few people message to ask me how I use Lush Knot-Wraps in my hair. So I have put together a little video to show a simple style. Thank you for watching and please subscribe to my youtube. Also feel free to send me comments and pictures of how you have styled yours!

Reusable Bubble Bars are like magical wands to me, I really am in awe of them. Not only do they look pretty, come in wonderfully creative designs but they can also be dried out and used again. Reusable Bubble Bars are like a celebration, and Lush knows it. They are not a permanent feature, apart from in Lush Oxford Street (which is a whole store of celebrations really) but Lush knows to bring them out when something special is happening, and we need to add a little extra luxury to our tubs.

I am afraid I am not the most up to date lady around, I couldn't tell you any celebrity gossip, I couldn't tell you who's in the charts (Is that still a thing?) and I couldn't tell you the latest fashion trends. I can, however, tell you about beautiful dresses, and I could talk to you about them until the cows come home. Finding the right dress can make you feel beautiful and confident.  I have so many people message me, telling me how they would love to wear 'That' dress but can't, but believe me, you can.

For some reason Bras are like a right of passage in a womans life. Getting your first one felt like you had finally grown up, and finding the right set makes you feel like you can take on the world. There used to be a time, however, when lingerie shopping depressed me. I hated being marched around stores, poked and prodded, and hearing the umms and arrs by shop ladies who didn't have much stock in my size. Lingerie shopping was just something that had to be done, not something that would be enjoyed, but oh how things have changed.
