Plus North 2013 - Part 3

The final bit of Plus North was the Scarlett & Jo catwalk, Karaoke and Buffett.

After the catwalk, it was time to get our dance on. Mel, Charlie, Rach and I decided to start it off since everyone was just sitting around, eventually after a good half hour of shaking our toosh's people started getting into the party mood and boogying. Said boogying and singing went on till 12.

Trying to look all innocent in my tiny tiny dress.

A GLAMOUROUS group shot!

L-R: Dawn, Rachel, Chloe, Charlie, Laura

Mary and Lyndsey

Here are some pictures from Laura of me dancing.

 I clearly owned that dance floor.

We also sang... Nelly - Its getting hot in here.

After the party cooled down, a bunch of us decided to go out in Manchester to continue the festivities and generally frighten people with our confidence!

 

 "everyone loves a bear"

Honestly, I can't think of a better way to have spent my weekend!

I had such a blast with all the babes! I wish we could do this every weekend!

Plus North 2013 - Part 2

If you have not yet seen my previous blog, click here to go read it.

So onto the actual event at Plus North.

The main hall itself had loadsa tables and chairs and a runway.

There were quite a few stalls, my faves were Simply Be, Yours Clothing and Excite Clothing.

Simply Be had a rail of some of their pieces, I kept going back to their stall, these two pieces...  this and this honestly made me drool.

 Seriously, Simply Be are so on point!

After a bit of milling about and catching up with Becky, Beth, Emma, Sian it was time for the Simply Be Catwalk.

Here are some pictures from the catwalks... I mainly only got images from the hall itself since I was too busy clapping and whooping to take any pics of the ladies.

I did get a lovely video of the Simply Be catwalk. I just couldn't look away, the pieces they decided to showcase were amazing!
I lust after the dress' that Elena and Gemma wore.

I must admit, I did already love Simply Be before, but after this weekend, I love love love them even more!

Dawn in the front row looking ravishingly fabulous!

I spotted Bee ^_^

Simply Be Models L-R: Rosie, Gemma, Rachel, Naomi, Kirsty

Pretty sure this is Vicky from The Curved Opinion

Rachel and I jumped in the photo booth and clearly were sexual as fuck!

Rach definitely rocks the Dame Edna specs!
Pure Sex yeah?

And I'm so glad we managed to get pictures with Charlie too!
The photo booth closed down FAR too early for my liking!

 Typical mirror shot at the Curvissa stall.
I felt like such a babe in this Simply Be Cutie dress! It fit so well but was so light and probably the best choice for the all day event!

Ooft I was so much in heaven here! Look at these babely babes! Mel, Charlie and Kerry

Found on Instagram.

Gemma, Toni, Kerry and Charlie


I spent some time just milling about seeing people, seeing dresses I WANT, and just being fabulous donchaknow!

 I didn't win anything this time round on the prize draw.

After the catwalks were done, the prize draw was done and all the photoboothing was done and the packing up begun, Laura and I went back to the hotel for food and a general relax before the night do.

As per usual, a #dailyscowl in the lift.

Come back and check le blog tomorrow for the final installment of my Plus North weekend.

Plus North 2013 - Part 1

This is going to be in a few parts... mainly because there is so much to say! I am struggling to think of a fitting way to actually begin this post. All the feels for the weekend just been! There's so much to say, so many moments to put into text, so many fabulous woman too!

I suppose we shall start from the beginning, from what I've heard it's a very good place to start.

morning face

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you will know that there has been a lot of talk about Plus North, which is a Plus Size fashion event hosted by Toni & Becky.

Rachel and I made our way to Manchester nice and early on Saturday morning, with the help of Rachel's man piece Brett being our chauffeur.


On my face I wore ELF blusher, Collection 2000 Mascara and ASDA Deluxe lipstick in colour #5 Silent Movie.
I wore my hair in a poof with a love heart polka dot head scarf to go with my dress.

We got to the event before 11 since Rachel was modelling. Before we went into the hotel, we bumped into the wonderful Katie whom Id been hoping to meet.
Because Rachel and Katie were modelling they had to go do model stuffs which meant I got plenty time to chat to Chloe of Life's Big Canvas. The last time I'd physically seen her was at the last Plus North over a year ago so it was such a joy to see her again!! Hugs from this angel are just supreme! Honestly! Best hug giver ever! I also talked A LOT to Kay, who is just hilarious! We both rocked the polka dot dresses!

I also met Alyssa from Twisted Siren and Patty from Miss Difusa at this time since they both had stalls on.
Both such wonderful ladies! I wish I had all the money's to buy from each of them.
Payday is soon though.

I wore a Cutie dress from Simply Be which was ONLY £40.00.
I paired it was a tesco cardigan from Rach, Simply Be leggings and a pair of Simply Be Ballerina pumps.
(notice a theme?)

The morning spent wondering around, chatting to models and just being in everyones company was lovely. I laughed a lot and the event hadnt even begun, this was just the perfect morning, and a sign of a good day ahead!

Check my blog tomorrow for more on the actual day event.
