Simply Be's new 'And Abigail' range SS2011!

Hi All!

I had a lovely email today from the guys over at Simply Be offering me and my readers a little sneak preview at a new collection which they are launching next week ready for Spring/Summer 2011!

The collection is called 'And Abigail' and is so flirrty, girly, feminine and fashionable that when I first had a nosey at the preview pics it made me absolutely long for summer to arrive! I have always loved how Simply Be get summer trends absolutely bang on and create pieces which will not only last a season but will have you pulling them out of your wardrobe to wear over and over again for many seasons! I have a go to holiday kaftan I bought from them in 2008 which see's every holiday I ever have and I still to this day get compliments over it.....

Anyway, back to the collection, I'm sure you are dying to have a looksie so here is a round-up of the pics...

I really like all of the pieces but if I had to choose 1 it would definitely be the embellished waterfall cardigan! I love the studded detail on the shoulders and the length, perfect for the coming 70's boho chic, relaxed and versatile but also very eyecatching! I think it would look great paired with the white hankerchief vest pictured, or even a slinky, chiffon maxi dress to while away summer evenings, so the cardigan is definitely on my most wanted list!

I've also had a quick look around the blogosphere and it seems Simply Be have some really great ranges coming up for all us plusettes! The lovely Lacara of 'Oh La La Curves' has also featured and blogged about some really cute pieces coming to them very soon, including the new Frock and Frill 2011 collection, so be sure to take a look over at www.simplybe.co.uk

Big Love and Happy Shopping!

Runway Inspiration - Hazy 70's chic

Hey guys,



So, theres the tricklings of the new Spring/Summer trend edging its way into stores at the moment ready for the up and coming season. A key look which is coming through is 70's chic, which I have to admit I am so excited about. When I saw the return of beautifully tailored wideleg trousers, the maxi dress sticking around with new gorgeous chiffon layers thrown in and super fun prints I was thrilled! Im so sick of squeezing myself into my skinny jeans, I mean, dont get me wrong I have loved them but Im a happier girl with the return of the widelegs, Im serious! One of the main reasons for me sticking to dresses and leggings over the past year was due to the sheer comfort and not wanting to deal with the pain that skinny jeans and jeggings can be! I know, I know, we should all wear what we are comfortable in but I am guilty of being a bit of a throw away fashion victim. So Ive had a nosey through some of the runway looks from 2010 which forcast the impending sexy 70's, and this Derek Lam look was by far my favourite, I actually cannot wait to get on this look....

Pintuck Blouse - £22.99 New Look Inspire

Soda Mix Tassle Bag - £34 Evans

Wideleg Trousers - £25 Very

Peeptoe Wedge - £50 ASOS

Earrings - £7.50 Evans

Ring - £5 Evans

I know I have moaned about New Look Inspire recently, but as the new season is starting to come through I have noticed that their items seem to be much more on trend than what we were seeing last year and replicating their straight size range much more. There is loads and loads of chiffon, which is great but I am hoping that they dont OD on it. The accessories line at Evans is brilliant at the moment, so much glam stuff, I am going to be better with accessories this year (this is my pledge!). I am also looking forward to seeing the new styles that come through with the maxi as the season draws nearer. The maxi was my best friend last summer, I have to say I have never felt sexier than when I wore mine, so flattering and comfortable whatever your shape or size!



What looks are you loving ladies?!



So anyway, I am off to the Plus Size Tall, Evans model final tomorrow to support my friend Lorna who I asked you all to vote for previously! I cant wait to take lots of pics, so will update you all on that. I am also starting a new job on Monday (Squee) no more uniform and lots of officey dressing so hopefully Ill have some more OOTD's for you!

BIG LOVE<3>
