#LFW - What I Wore 2012 | bbloggers | disco pants | fashion | fblogger | freemasons hall | glamorous | LFW | london fashion week | ootd | orange circle | outfit | post | timur kim | whenflowersfall

Well, hello there.

You guys know that I spent weeks worrying about what I was going to wear on my trip to London.

After a week of free listings on ebay, I managed to raise enough funds to buy a new pair of boots, and Orange Circle offered to send me a T-shirt to sport on the day too. 

Unfortunately, that t-shirt still hasn't arrived and I think it may have gotten lost in the world of Royal Mail.

So, without further a do, here is what I managed to pull together. 

Jacket - Charity Shop / DIY

T-shirt - Orange Circle

Disco Pants - Glamorous

Boots - Ebay

Rings - Otley market, Kukee, Engagement ring.

Now, you may be wondering how I'm still wearing an Orange Circle Tee. I did have this one in my wardrobe, but it was sporting a rather evil looking stain. On the day before I left, the day I realised I wasn't going to receive the new one, I attacked it with bleach and luckily the stain came out. I felt really bad that they had sent me a t-shirt to wear and I still wanted to show off some Orange Circle if I could.

The jacket was a last minute change of plan. I did originally plan to wear a sheer, silky cream jacket I had customised. But, being London, it was rather windy and nippy so I figured the denim would be a better choice. I even had a photo of it taken. (Just wish I had found out what for.)

As you can see form my face, I was pretty shattered from the 5 hour drive earlier that day, so I decided to go minimal with make-up, but wear a bold lip. 

My hair was a disaster. Originally it was down and beachy looking, but it was roasting in the Freemasons Hall and I ended up scraping it back. 

I think if I'm to go next year, I will choose to dress differently. Maybe a little less casual? 

That being said, I am glad I was comfortable, because I felt ever so sorry for Ebony, who had been wearing her heels since seven in the morning.

Make sure to go over to Sally and Ebony's blog to see what they wore.

Hearts And Bows Taupe Carly Knit//Asos Textured Knit Snood//Hearts And Bows Vintage Camo Jacket

Tunic Dress With Sequin Crosses//Asos Loop Yarn Boyfriend Beanie//Glamorous Royal Blue Disco Pants

Glamorous Black Skull Print Blouse//Tribeca Martina Classic Black Patent Studded Lace Up Boots

Asos Pork Pie Hat

Yes, I know this is another wishlist, but I think I am totally over waiting for Summer to appear!

I'm finally feeling the need to Autumn colours, chunky knits and big boots! 

The boots I have featured above, I think are the only boots I will be happy to have! How can you go wrong with black patent boots with studs on them?!

I've also included another pair of disco pants, because after my breakthrough with my other pair, I'm now wanting to live in them.

 I can just imagine the outfits now, huge chunky cardigans, smooth, figure hugging disco pants and big boots. Gah, I want it all naaaoooowww!

I just had to include a couple of hats, because if you know me, then you know that I usually end up with about 10 new hats every Winter. It's a tradition!

And the camo jacket, let me tell you how much I want a camo jacket. Not necessarily the one above, any one will do. I've actually entered to win a customised on recently and I have my fingers, toes, eyes, everything crossed that I win. I doubt I will. But I'd really like to.

Have you guys had enough of waiting around for the sun?
What'll be on your winter wishlist this year?

Friday Fitday! break through | disco pants | eating | friday fitday | glamorous | glamorousuk | healthy | losing inches | weightloss | whenflowersfall

Hi my lovelies!

It has been a super long time since I last did one of these. 

If you watched my recent ramble video, you will already know that I lost all motivation and I was having a real hard time trying to stay on top of it all. 

After a few days this week of healthy eating, I had a break through today. 

A week ago I was given a pair of the Glamorous Disco pants. They are a size 14, a size smaller than what I am. Also, the website advises to get a size larger than you would normally wear anyway. Meaning I would need a size 18. Eeek.

But! Even though last Saturday, I couldn't get them all the way up, today I tried again and they fit!!! 

It was a little struggle to get them on, but I'm putting that down to the fact that they are extremely tight fitting, but once they were done up they were sooooo comfy!
As you can see below, I have rather large hips and thighs! I grew up walking everywhere (mum doesn't drive,) so I know they're not going to get much smaller, they carry a lot of muscle that just needs toning up.

I am so happy today, its unreal. It means what I am doing is paying off, somehow. 

I may have not lost a ton of weight, I'm still hovering at 214lbs, but I guess I may be losing inches. 

So, that being said, as of next week. I am going to start measuring. Hopefully that way I won't get so frustrated if I continue to stay on my plateau, and I may actually stay motivated if I see some kind of numbers going down.

I'm going to continue on my journey, and next week I will start a video diary every Friday, also.

I hope you all have a fantastic bank holiday week end!

Today was the day of the blogger meetup in Leeds, organised by Ray and Tor. 

 The event was held at Mook Bar in Leeds and it was the most amazing 3 hours I've had in a long time.  Not only did I get to meet a lovely bunch of girls, but we were also spoilt rotten with the most incredible goody bags.

We sat through talks from both Valerie from Wild and Amy from Xen-Tan, each brand of which I am now dying to try out. Luckily, we were given some Xen-Tan samples so I think that'll be used up pretty quickly!

We were also lucky enough to be given a piece of clothing each  from Glamorous, (of which I forgot to photograph), but I was lucky enough to get the infamous disco pant dupes. They are a little squeezy but I'll be most definitely be using them as my goal weight pants! Once I fit in them comfortably, I'll be happy. 

Like I said before, I had an amazing time, met some really lovely ladies and got some absolutely incredible goodies. 

Thanks again to Ray and Tor for arranging it. I'm already looking forward to the next one!!

It's been a little while since I last made a wishlist, but when I came across the Glamorous Website I felt like I needed to. 

I can't help but be a little obsessed with black recently. I feel like I need to own more black. It's such a staple colour, everything goes with it and I just plain love it. Other than that, I really craving some Beetlejuice jeans and a denim jacket. 

If anyone would like to donate to the 'Get Sam a new wardrobe fund' please feel free to do so. 

Haha, who am I kidding. 

Glamorous is an amazing site and hopefully one day I'll be able to treat myself and have a little splurge! 

Have you ever bought anything from Glamorous?
