One One Three Plus Size Clothing



I've done a few posts on here including plus size brands on here but I have never talked about one alone.

I was recently scrolling through Instagram a few months ago, as I spend 80% of my iPhone battery a day doing and I came across a brand called One One Three. They were posting some plus size clothing and I followed them and they always were uploading great posts.

Recently in the last few weeks they have been posting about their new spring/summer collection for 2016 and oh my god i've never been so impatient!

Being a girl who can wear plus size clothing this collection has me all kinda of excited! This collection looks edgy, cool, different and down right amazing!! It's the kind of clothes you'd see on all the trend setting gorgeous girls snapped at LFW for their amazing street style recently.. And I'm so excited to see this kind of clothing in plus size!

Not that other high street brands aren't doing great clothes, some of my favourites being ASOS, Boohoo and Missguided, but this collection blows me away.

It includes some amazing edgy longline bombers, girly silhouettes, gorgeous full length dresses, amazing satin and velvet textures, fun button up skirts and flattering pinafores. To be totally honest if I had this whole collection I wouldn't mind. I'm definitely going to want to be picking up multiple pieces!

I also love the prints in this collection! A cool blogger favourite the marble print graces a few items and awesome alphabet print dresses which are daring but also look like so much fun to dress up and down!

I love that this collection looks to have been made with curves in mind. I find some items in plus size look like a slightly bigger version of an existing piece from a brand and isn't flattering to this different body type. These clothes are made to flatter your boobs (or showcase them if you may!), highlight everyones gorgeous waistlines and silhouettes and make younger woman like myself feel comfortable and want to wear these awesome pieces and feel bomb! 

One One Three uploaded all the pieces to their website (all links at the end!) so you can go and look at their new collection but at this moment in time it isn't available to purchase! I'm preparing my bank in advance...

I'm super excited for this to launch and I also am going to start posting more outfit posts! I've been so obsessed with curvy fashion bloggers / girls on instagram lately. Heres some of my faves fromthecornersofthecurve, Tess Holiday, Felicity Hayward and there's so many more! After flicking through their feeds and blogs I'm so inspired to start posting more and generally a lot more excited so stay tuned for those posts coming soon!!!

Here's a sneak peek at the site and i'm so excited for this range to drop..

Top 5's of 2015!




Ok, so I'm a bit late to the game here as it's like a week into 2016 BUT I really wanted to do my Top 5's of 2015. It's been a cool year and here's some of my favourite things!

Beauty & Make Up:
1. Soar lip liner (Mac). This guy is my forever faithful. It's my go to for every look!
2.Twig Lipstick (Mac). Goes perfectly with Soar and is always a perfect everyday shade for me and I wear it out all the time. I've my last one down to the bottom and I need a new one asap - absolutely one of my favourite lipsticks ever!!
3. Nivea Mens Aftershave Balm in Sensitive. <3 Best primer and never breaks the bank - what more could you want?!
4. Primark Eyelashes. They've such a variety but intense and sultry are my favs!
5. Lightscapade (Mac). This is one of my favourite highlighters as it works for me in winter when I've paler skin and in summer for a casual highlight. When I'm tanner and want that disco ball feel I love I grab my Soft & Gentle!

Albums (top 7):
1. Blurryface. This is one of my favourites ever and Twenty One Pilots never disappoint. When I seen them in August this album sounded amazing live!
2. American Candy. Duh. The Maine have been one of my favourite bands since I've been a teen and anything they put out always has a special place in my heart but THIS ALBUM. This is definitely one of my favourite things they've ever released! Yes. (Also they just released 3 covers.. You gotta check them out too!)
3. Worlds Remixed. My love for Porter Robinson goes unmatched. His Worlds album was 100% my favourite album of 2014 (and basically most of 2015 too as I listened to it over 700 times on spotify this year?!) but this remixed album gives Worlds a revamp and is a really fun listen!
4. Little Machines. Lights is one of those artists I just love. Anything she releases is amazing and this album is the same. It's a great listen from start to finish and the bonus songs are some of my favourite she's ever released.
5. Happy People. Peace's first album was one of my favourite albums ever but this one tops it! I couldn't get enough of it and I can confirm live it might just be even better!! 
6. Every Open Eye. If you thought CHVRCHES first album was good this one is amazing. I've just been listening to it from back to front since it was released!
7. Bieber's new album has to be mentioned too.. So many good songs!

Films:
1. Whiplash
2. Star Wars
3. Avengers
4. Sisters
5. Birdman

Games (Top 3):
1. Super Mario Maker
2. Until Dawn
3. Splatoon

Youtube Channels:
1. Dan and Phil Games
2. Jake Roper/VSauce 3
3. Nikkie Tutorials
4. Sprinkle of Glitter
5. Hazel Hayes

Bloggers/Blogs:
1. Zoella
2. Sprinkle of Glitter
3. The Sunday Girl
4. Caroline Hirons
5. Makeup Geek

So, there you have it some of my favourites from 2015! Let me know what were some of your favourite things!

FOTD Christmas Party.. Blogmas day thirteen!



Hey!

Here's my FOTD for my staff Christmas party last night!

I went for a Berry/Purple eye with black liner and lashes, my usual face routine and a pink lip to compliment my chosen eye colour!



Here's a list of what I used on my face:

To Prime: Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm (like literal make up glue, I don't know where I'd be without it!)

Then, Mac Mineralize Foundation (NW 22) mixed with Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hr Foundation (Soft Beige), Maybelline Eraser eye concealer, Mac Pro Longwear Concealer (NC 20), Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit (I use to shade Cinnamon to contour), Rimmel Match Perfection Loose Powder, L'Oreal Paris True Match Powder, Mac Blush in Harmony (to set contour), Mac Mineralize Powder in Lightscapade (highlight).



On my eyes: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer, Urban Decay Blonde eyeshadow (all over, Gwen pallette), Bobbi Brown Blush in Berry in the centre and under my eye, Urban Decay Punk eyeshadow (Gwen pallette) at the end and in the crease, Urban Decay Pop in the inside (Gwen palette), Urban Decay Bathwater eyeshadow (Gwen palette) on my brow bone. Illamasqua Precision Brow Gel in Stare, Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen in Carbon Black, Primark Lashes (Intense). 

My review on the Gwen Stefani palette can be found here.


On my Lips I have Mac Lip Pencil in Soar all over and Nars Lipgloss in Dolce Vita on top. (Dream team)

So that was my FOTD!

If you want to know anymore detail about any of these products let me know!!

This is one of my favourite holiday make up looks for sure and the pop of colour under the eye is amazing!
