Hello Boy's!

Seeing as how I work for an online Lingerie company I thought I should put my expertise to good use and do a post about some of the amazing sets that are around at the minute. From working in underwear I know how important it is to get a good fitting bra, mine changes every 6 months or so. I don't wear matching underwear alot, although the idea is always there! I just love pretty briefs but the bras never come in my size (I'm a colossal FF/G!!!) so I wear the briefs anyway. There are so many different styles of bras and each one will give you a different support but not all styles suit everyone, personally I only suit plunge styles and as with fashion go with what suites you. I will do this in four half's DD+, A-D, Briefs and Nightwear.

DD+
A-D
Briefs
Nightwear

These are just some of my faves, I love nightwear and I always have to wear a bra so I love them too! If you need fitting advice then I'm your gal ; )

Mary

One of my favourite films is The Godfather trilogy, especially the third film. Despite the many critical reviews of the third installment it is personally my fav, and the reason for this is Sofia Coppola's portrayal of Mary Corrleone. I absolutley love her dressing in this film, its very conservative 80's all velvet, bows and taffeta. I have never liked obvious beauty and people who dress in whats popular now instead of finding their own niche. In this movie I think she is just beautiful, and I love her classic beauty and style-hardly any make-up, lovely long hair, classic dresses...
I have struggled to find soem images from the movie but I have posted some of the best ones below

I also love Sofia as a person, I really like intelligent girls who work hard and read books!! I cant stand it when people dont read, the films she writes and directs are visonary and she is pure genius.

Long time, No money!

So its been a while since I last blogged, Ive been super busy with work etc. However never a week goes by without a little purchase! This week I had some inspiration as I was flicking through some photo's of people at Fashion Week. I dont like looking at pictures of celebs at these events I much prefer looking at pictures of other guests and drawing inspiration from them.
This week I have invested in a knit maxi- now I dont know about you but I worry about maxi dresses on me as im not a skinny mini, but I have a drawer full of shapewear so im just going to stuff myself in! I brought a few months ago some very sexy clog/shoe boots which are THE most comfortable shoes I have ever worn and im wearing them to death. I thought this maxi with some fairisle socks would look dead cute, all I need to do now is get my fringe cut so I can see!!
