We Are Here!!!!

I was apprehensive doing this blog post, because I don't want this to turn into a rant post, however I have a voice and have noticed that there is big gap in the market. So often I see brands working with bloggers which is great however I don't see disabled bloggers, I love that there is plus size as we are all different sizes and shapes. When I see bloggers going on free excursions, holidays, clothes etc I think to myself I would love see people who are forgotten about, I want to be able to relate. For me when I travel I have to worry if the place is disabled friendly if not then need extra care. There is a gap, wish brands were more adventurous,  appeal to wider market that's so often forgotten about.

Want to see brands working with disabled bloggers, from wheelchair to walking aid to someone who can't walk much because of their illness. This isn't a campaign for me as would happily read blogs that features them working with brands. I want to see more variety, want it to be relate-able, want there to be more of presence. Disabled people are fashionable, not dead, I'm sure damn well want to travel, go to press events, where is the access...

Won't lie it angers me, frustrating and it's like you invisible, try being in disabled foot steps and see how insignificant you feel, yet mentally you still present. I am not holding back on how I feel, sorry if this post isn't profoundly intellectual way of doing it. But when you on antibiotics feeling like an alien is living inside your body you wouldn't be holding your words back either.

If there is other bloggers who feel the same please do share, and I hope I'm not some crazy lady in her room bitter about the world. As I love the fact that bloggers are influential, seeing the people I follow (not in stalker way of course) grow. There's place for everyone just remember we are here.

All About The Pattern. Outfit Of The Day

Coat: TK Maxx, lovely bird pattern shirt: TK Maxx (picked and bought from the boyfriend, my birthday last year), jeans: Sports Direct, panda gloves: Primark, Babycham Boots, scarf gift from abroad, Love studs: Temporary Secretary online shop, Hello Kitty watch Christmas gift, on my nails: Seventeen Lasting Fix Colour Pink Grapefruit shade. 

Hello all, this is kind of fitting at the moment, it being fashion week, but I actually intended to blog this sooner however once again was rushed to hospital last week, collapse when I went to corner shop, bless 3 guys came to my rescue the paramedics told me. Anyway suffered with concussion, with the added joys of tonsillitis and a cold at the time. But as I can breathe, have my voice back, slowly back to my usual ill self. 

What do you think of my bird shirt, do you love it as much as me? 

I love the colour of my jeans also has smooth touch, can't resist touching my legs like a loon. Right well enough of me babbling on, hope you have lovely weekend, and to my UK peeps stay safe, crazy floods Gale force winds. Prayers to those who are effected.x

Outfit Of The Day Pick For Us (chronic illnesses)

All the items are from Next

Wanted to do something different as so many times certain clothing and footwear isn't always appropriate or comfortable, I decided to do outfit post pick that still can have comfort and be stylish. The black heart dress covers you lumps, also for me I sometimes wear back brace for support so in this won't be as noticeable. If anyone knows me I have obsession with hearts, so this is winner for me pattern also is cute distraction. To give little pop of colour leggings is more comfortable (me personally), I think because of the stretchiness also gives me support. How can you not resist beanie, thought it fitted well with this theme hearts love see where I was going there, hehe. Everybody love bit of studs so to add little edge to the outfit black studded high tops to round it off. Now I just wish all this was in my wardrobe but I shall admire it on my screen, haha like a loon, I know I'm bonkers no need to say, wouldn't be Loopy otherwise get it cause my nick name is Loopy, okay I'm going now as I am babbling. Hope you all have lovely weekend or week depending on when you reading this.

What do you think of the outfit pick?

Also would you like another kinda fashion post like this, let me know?!

Summer To Autumn

 

Outfit One- peace top: Primark, Trousers: TK Maxx. 

Outfit Two- old hoodie, black shorts: H&M, tights: Primark, Scarf: gift, Nike trainers: Sports Direct

Excuse the dodgy grainy pics, I promise the next coming blog posts I'll have better quality pictures, as have load of pics on my memory card just waiting to be uploaded. Meanwhile was looking at my outfit pics oh how very vain of me, hehe, not long ago it was very warm/hot now it's time for that layer, although the weather is very yo yo at the moment (yes typical Brit I talk about the weather). I won't lie I was excited to get my coloured tights out and yes I really do just live in my Nike trainers, cannot help it.

Do you like it when the weather is bit cold or do you love it when it's hot?

Eve & Jo. Fashion Edition

Thought I celebrate fashion week my way, by illustrating it in humour. Do apologise the fading as my black ink ran out, even my back ups finished on me. So just about managed to complete this, also I know it's wonky, me sorry (insert puppy face). Hope you still enjoy it with all its flaws in tow.
 Let me know what you think, be greatly appreciated.x

Sorry not blogged for a bit, life has been more tough than usual lately, once again, pause and take deep breath.. Now back to this post, this outfit I wore for day out shopping and cinema. Luckily the sun was out and took full advantage to enjoy my surroundings. Loughborough is town that holds special part of my heart (not telling you why, that's a secret), it's student town so full of young people, which can make you feel old...

Shopping wise bought couple of bits, cinema saw 'Looper' I won't bore you with my review of it.
And yes those are legs in the background, just your random statues, strutting legs in the park..

What are your five key pieces for the AW12 season and why?

Sketches done by me.

Step Back Cardigan (RRP £18)

This is always must in my wardrobe, good trusty cardigan to keep you warm. Good for laying, I always think  wrapping warm having a cuppa. Cardigan is like comfy walking blanket, comfort, however still being stylish with this, casual or smart, versatile item.

Oversized Sweater (RRP £35)

Animal print, lets have fun and add a statement, bringing instant jazz to an outfit. The great thing about prints like this, it hides our flaws, distracts you from our lumps and bumps. I think everyone should own one piece of animal print, or hint of it, vibrant fun piece. Oversized so even on our fat days or you know the time of the month we can still rock it. 

Navy Metallic Yarn Knit Tights (RRP £10)

Tights allows us to still wear shorts, skirts and dresses in the colder weather. Whether its to add pop of colour, pattern or just to keep your pins warm. No need to stop wearing your favourite garments with these bad boys. 

Stud Biker Ankle Boots (RRP £85)

Boots, study, fit for the weather. Keep your feet warm in good solid boots, but still adding element of edginess with the studs, tinge of grudge. Perfect to wear with variety of outfits. 

Green Contrast Stitch Large Bag (RRP £35)

Handbag handbag how I love you so. What's great about this bag you have two ways carrying it, long strap which for me I love, as I walk with a crutch it can be kind of annoying when the bag keeps slipping off my shoulder, and holding it by hand isn't always practical for me. So long strap is brillant for me, and if your uber stylish can just simply hold by hand. The great thing about this colour bag you can wear it with anything. Also can store all the junk and madness us ladies carry. Beautiful interior inside the bag which for me is bonus. 

Those were my key pieces, hope you like the selection.

I shall keep my finger and toes cross, it be amazing to win.

Are any of these pieces, your key pieces this AW12?

Glamour And Sophistication

Tahir Sultan luxury garments, think red carpet, think photo shoots, think high end...

 

I notice there are a lot of drapes, circular motions, structure however still keeping that edge element to it. The garments are sexy in elegant way, showing enough skin in the right places, giving me that tease in a lady form way.

If I was fancy, or actually had lovely places to go to, in my imagination one would be driven to Central London, step out of the car, make my grand entrance and enter the building. Such a lovely thought ay?!

Do you ever look at high end clothing and start picturing where you would wear the outfit etc?

Or is that just me...

Flower Power

Er, don't know why my forehead looks pinkish, like I've just had my eye brows threaded or plucked I assure you I haven't. Nor was that the look I was going for, any who. This is me sporting flower power, hair accessory clip that was sent to me by lovely You're Naked Without One. When putting this on, one can't help but smile, instant lift to over all outfit/look. Pop of colour, texture, character, and fun. As I naturally have thick hair it just fit's in with the volume, comfortable. However you can style this in different ways. It may look scary for some like oh I couldn't wear that, how do you know? experiment I say. 

PS- I wasn't sent this item for review nor sponsored for it. 

Aussie UK Hair Fashion Show (Event)

Last minute thing, I was on twitter and saw Faye tweet about a plus one for the Aussie Event. I jumped in and said me me, mind you it was risky for me as I didn't know if I be able to cope, as I been out previous days, me being stubborn and wanted to do everything I went. Needless to say I crashed out as soon as I got home after the event, pj's bed nap...

I am somebody who has been using their products recently, so it was great to go this event and check it out.
Lots of nibbles, drinks and lovely cupcakes was all displayed nicely, yes I did go over the top with the cupcakes, ate fair amount oops, they was to yummy...

I do like the fishtail braid hairstyle, that hairstyle is winner for me, not that I have sported that look on myself yet.  Overall it was great meeting bloggers, seeing the fashion show, being Faye's plus one, seeing her again, hanging out with my friends Amber and Jo.  Also putting a face to the blog's that I follow. Getting the chance to say hello. Meeting new bloggers, having girl crush on Lydia. It was cool atmosphere. Glad I went.

Onna Ehrlich has been featured in tv shows, various celebrities have been on the red carpet sporting the bag, films I've watched which amazes me, as you forget the impact of even accesseries can have on the fashion market.

Here is some of the handbags, ruffles, classic, stylish, simple, and practical.

The Wish List, bold letters WISH: Rachel Petite, and the Ann clutch. Day to night transition with the item's I've chosen, one being with all the junk you have throughout the day, then the clutch just for the essentials money, lip balm, phone. Yes they are at the high end of costs, these be the type of investment bags for us none celebs.
