Yours clothing review

I opened my emails on Wednesday, and I was greeted by an email from Yours clothing, telling me that they were offering free next day delivery. I have never ordered from Yours before, and I was intrigued as I had seen many other plus size bloggers with some lovely pieces from them. So I decided to place a small order and see what the items were like! I ordered 2 pairs of cropped leggings... one with lace on the bottom and the other pair just plain leggings. They were 2 pairs for £10 which I thought was a bit of a bargain.






Photo 1 is the leggings. They are good quality and thick. I think they run a size bigger. I am normally a size 20-22, and ordered a 16-18 and they are fine.


Photo 2 is the lace on the bottom of the other leggings. I think it adds a nice touch and is lovely to wear with a long top and heels in the evening.




The front and back of the check shirt. This is currently on sale for £10!! I really love the length of this shirt. It is the perfect length for me, as it can be worn with leggings and jeggings... I sometimes find it difficult to find shirts that are long enough.. I mean, I'm 5ft 6" (and a tiny bit!) so you wouldn't think it was difficult... but it is! This is such a perfect size as well, the buttons don't gape over my rather large chest either! I like the fact you can roll the sleeves up or down as preferred. I love the colour. I also love the feel and the quality of the cotton. It will be just perfect on a summers day with some leggings and some flats.


I placed my order at about 13.30 Wednesday, (The promotion was free next day delivery if you order between midday and 2pm, which is worth £6.95) and I had a confirmation email as soon as the order was placed. The next day I had a tracking number and even a time for when my items would be delivered! They arrived on time and well packaged.


I am really impressed with Yours clothing, and look forward to placing more orders with them!! (They stock sizes from 16-32)

Sandals and Yours Clothing Competition

Thank God summer is almost here! I am getting really fed up of wearing boots (though I do love my boots) and closed in shoes. I can't wait to show my pedicured tootsies off in some cute sandals! I have always been a flip flops lover, and last year I was rocking the Gladiator sandals. I even bought a pair and didn't wear them last year(an awesome Steve Madden copy pair) so I am really glad they are back for this season. Here are a few sandals I have seen in the shops that I love:




1.Stud Cage Sandals,New Look, £20
2.Black lace up sandals, £25, Dorothy Perkins
3.Turquoise lace up sandals, £30, Dorothy Perkins

My absolute favorite ones are from New Look for a bargainous £12!!!


These beauties come in 3 colours too.. Black, silver and gold. I think I may get the gold ones!

Also, I have found out today that Yours Clothing has just launched a competition, they are looking for models for the Alison Hammond range! These are the details I copied from the website:

The range is due to be launched at the end of March and Alison is currently recruiting for real women models who can help her to model her range at the launch. If you think you could model the Alison Hammond range then send a photograph of yourself to the address below.

Entries for the Alison Hammond — Find a Model competition can be sent to:

email — press@yoursclothing.co.uk

Address — Yours Clothing Press Office, 1184 Lincoln Road, Werrington, Peterborough, Cambs, PE4 6LA

The closing date for entries is Friday 26th March at 5p.m. 3 winners will be chosen by Alison Hammond and will receive an all expenses paid trip to the exclusive launch and receive items from the range that they can personally select.


I think I might enter... Not that I think I can be a model, but because the prize is very exciting!

Yours clothing has some lovely pieces in at the moment, all reasonably priced and on trend. I have my eye on a couple of skirts I think I might purchase on pay day!

Shopaholic!

My name's Kat and I'm a shopaholic.

This is what I have bought this week ...






1. Liquorice Allsorts necklace. I went to a craft fair Saturday with my sister and her BF, and got this! I saw it and couldn't just walk past. I think it's so unique and I love handmade things. I also love jewellery that is a talking point. The people who made it also have a website, with lots of other lovely things on (I also wanted the Alice in Wonderland bracelet, but I had to stop myself!) You can find the website here.

2. Check shirt from Ebay, originally from Evans. I really like this. Not long enough to wear with leggings/jeggings, but I will wear this with jeans. The one thing I dislike about it is the weird tie thing... I understand that it should be tied behind to create a more fitted look, but it's just in a really awkward place! However, I can forgive this as it is a lovely shirt.

3. Denim dress, Tesco. I love this dress! Tesco have some lovely things in at the moment. I think I might wear this with a denim jacket. The denim trend is huge for this season, as seen on the catwalks of Chloe, Ralph Lauren and D&G. For once in my life, I will actually be on trend!

4. Biker Jacket, Evans. I posted about this a while back, and decided to get it. It is a great fit and is perfect for spring.


And finally....

My puppy, Tilly. She is my gorgeous girl, but also very naughty. Here she is looking cute in her bed.

OOTD (from the weekend!)

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone is keeping well. Just a quick OOTD post! (Please ignore the socks in the photo, I had left my knee high boots I eventually wore in my car so had to pop my ankle boots on so I could walk to the car to get them!) This is what I wore out shopping and sushi eating on Saturday out and about in Reading.Was lovely meeting up with Femmie la la and having a gossip!

Red blazer: Charity shop

Black long top: Dorothy Perkins

Belt: Evans

Leggings: Sainsburys

Ankle boots: New Look

I can't wait to pair this look with a stripey top as well. (I almost wore the stripey top, but with a quick opinion from Kara, she said the black one was "smarter", so I went with the black)

Lots of sales around at the moment too. Evans has 20% off until Midnight on Monday online, and also in store from Wednesday to Friday. This is also off sale stuff too!

This dress is down to only £5.60 from £50!

New look also has their mid season sale on, and Dorothy Perkins has a 50% sale on as well. I am totally in love with this dress after seeing Nikstar wearing it here.

I ordered the asymetric biker jacket from Evans at the weekend too. After a lot of trying on and umm-ing and ahh-ing, I decided I would get a lot of wear out of it and is very versatile. I will post a pic when I receive it, which will hopefully be soon! I also won a check shirt from ebay as well, so will be doing an outfit post with that as well!

I am going to Vegas 5 weeks today! Are there any shops stateside/in Vegas that I should really check out when I'm there? Any advice/help/guidance appreciated!
