#Petite&Curvy - Ripped Knee Jeans

 ***Ripped Knee Jeans (Petite)***

I love my height and curves and I think it's high time the fashion industry in the UK took into consideration petite doesn't always mean slim or without curves.

Yes, some store do petites in sizes 12, 14 and 16 but these are usually not structured well enough for curves. I don't find these larger petite size are made well enough for women with a little more thickness in the bust, hip and booty area.

I've been on a mission this week to find ripped knee jeans for those of us who are under 5.3ft tall. After ordering 5 pairs online and returning 3pairs in store I have found 3 pairs which fit nicely and are of a good length. 

Some of the pairs I have tried gave me a muffin top...(of which I do not have naturally)

 Never a good look...EVER!

Others I tried on were soooo tight...come on people, does every pair or jeans you sell have to be skinny fit or super skinny? 

 They feel like they're sprayed or painted on 

 

 

and are incredible difficult to put on...I mean I almost dislocated my hip trying on some of these jeans! 

In the end, these were the best 3 I found online & instore...

Just so you know...

It is not my intention to bash any store, website or designer, I am simply trying to find clothes that fit well for me and all the other funsized diva's out there. X

Fashion: Top 5 Autumn Coats

***Top 5 Autumn Coats***

 

 Autumn is my favourite time of the year. 

It's so beautiful and we all get a chance to layer up with our favourite coats, hats, scarves, shawls and all our other essential autumn/winter accessories.

While on the hunt for a new coat I came across these beauties.

Personally I am spoilt for choice and currently wondering how many outfits I can wear with an orange coat....?

Hmmm I'll keep looking but for now...Here are my top 5 autumn coats.

@KittyD_Vision: Spa Getaway

 Spa Getaway? Packing beautifully but efficiently!

Still holding on to summer I went away on a 4 day trip to a 5* Spa resort in Mallorca (Found through an awesome deal on Travelzoo – definitely one to keep a look at for holiday deals). With limited luggage allowance and 4 days in a fancy place meant 4 smart/casual breakfast outfits, couple of swimsuit ideas, an exploring outfit, airplane outfit, and 3 fancy dinner outfits. That’s a lot to fit into a 10k hand luggage wheelie. But with planning and careful selection – It was done!

 

Firstly I decided to pick one pair of heels for the 3 evenings that I could wear differently with various outfits, where comfy, pretty, and lightweight. I went for my Brown Gladiator style Heels. Evening 1) I wore a H&M Black Silk cami top with lace trimming, skinny jeans and heels. Evening 2) Skinny Jeans with a Dark Grey Zara top with high slits on the sides… and heels. Evening 3) was a floaty, no-need to iron floaty dress with heels. All of which took a quarter of my case.

Breakfast was a lot easier I packed another pair of jeans with a couple of t-shirts to wear different days and alternated between some converse shoes and my bright coral flip flops. Other Quarter of my case taken. Half a suitcase to go…

 

Spa & Gym? Easy ~ one bikini for tanning by the outdoor pool and chilling in the Jacuzzi, and a pink swimsuit for doing my lengths and felt like covering up a little (especially after the buffet breakfast woops). For the Gym I took a pair of shorts and couple of lightweight tops. My trainers I wore on the flight for comfort so this only took another quarter of a case.

The Last quarter was filled up with a few toiletries, holiday essentials and my camera! Easy peasy... efficient packing. A total first for me!

Fashion: Petite? And Curvy...

***Curvy & Petite*** 

 

 I am not too sure if it's just me but here in the UK I feel a lot of high street & online stores don't cater to "Petite" women who are also curvy .

It seems petite means small in height and width and I rarely find things in the petite range that fit me properly...I know I am not alone in this and I am now on a mission to test this theory!

I am 5ft tall with curves in all the right places and I often find I have to alter clothes outside of the petite range to fit my frame so...

I am now on the hunt for time capsule wardrobe pieces from 3 high street/online stores to see how well they fit...I will be doing regular updates about 'petite wear' for all my funsized curvy diva's out there!

Let's GO!

Time Capsule wardrobe pieces

• Tshirts

Food: 3 Pescetarian meal ideas

 

On a recent holiday with some friends I was asked what kind of foods I eat as a pescetarian.

I am not sure what people have in mind when they think of a pescetarian diet but in general people say "you only eat fish?" with a shocked look on their face as to why on Gods green earth someone would not eat chicken, pork, lamb, beef etc...then they roll their eyes at you and offer a unseasoned piece of cod with char grilled vegetables at a dinner party hehehe....#BORING!

Personally I love beans, pulses,vegetables and the Linda McCartney meat alternative range is supper yummy!  

I am obsessed with herbs and spices and use them in pretty much everything, so enough of the babble and onto my 3 Pescetarian meals...Take note meat eaters! 

Pescetarian doesn't mean lack of flavour or imagination lol

#1 Lentil, Egg and Potato Salad with Mackerel fillets

I love lentils and this dish is a yummy, quick and satisfying.

#2 Sweet Chili Cauliflower with Basa Fillet (Salisbury's) and herb steamed carrots

 

I love Basa and this dish is sweet, crunchy and delicious.

#3 Pan fried salmon fillet (well seasoned) with sweet potato fries ans streamed spinach 

 

 

And there you have it, 3 tasty and delicious meal ideas for a pescetarian.

Enjoy,
