#WeAreTheThey

Sunday 26 April 2015

You may have noticed that this week, being plus size has been in the news rather a lot. It was suggested on Loose Women by Jamelia that women below a size 6, and above a size 20, should not be able to shop in normal high street stores, but instead in specialist stores, because allowing us fashionable clothing glorifies obesity. The thing that I personally found most disheartening, was her constant referral to women above a size 20 and below a size 6 as 'they'. As though we are some faceless terrifying other.

The incredible Debz started a wonderful movement in response to this on twitter using the hashtag #WeAreTheThey. Debz aimed to allow us all to show that we aren't some monstrous faceless other, we are just regular people who happen to enjoy fashion! It was so inspiring to be a part of this hashtag, seeing all of the other beautiful women posting to it and the positive message. There was no hate, just love being shared which is incredible. We as a plus size community answered hate with love and it was amazing.



As luck would have it, I was due to have a photoshoot with the ever so fabulous Mary Burgers again days after this all occurred, and we wanted to shoot something in response to this. Both of us are plus size ladies with an intense love of all things fashion, it seemed perfectly timed.


One of the things we wanted to respond to was the idea that simply by existing while fat, and enjoying fashion, we are glorifying obesity. It's just a ridiculous suggestion. We are cute and love clothes, so why wouldn't we dress how we want? You cannot look at someone and know how healthy they are, and either way, it is none of your concern!


You cannot tell how someone eats by looking at them. You cannot tell how someone looks after themselves by looking at them. Your concern trolling for our health is unwelcome and just plain rude. 


So the obvious thing to do was have Mary eats hot dogs and doughnuts and glorify obesity, because apparently that is what we do by simply existing! 


Yummy yummy vegetarian hot dogs with lashings of ketchup.


Forcing someone who exists outside of your beauty ideals to dress in a way you don't consider to be fashionable is a bizarre idea. Shaming us, and making us feel bad about ourselves encourages unhealthy food behaviours, is damaging to mental health and will not magically force anyone to lose weight.


Lush doughnuts! Sugary, jammy goodness. 


A cake doughnut, a doughnut that is a cake, amaze!


Since I started blogging, I have become so much more confident and happy in myself. I have gone from someone who wore a 'uniform' of a black skirt with a plain top with sleeves with full length leggings, to someone who will at least try on anything and has embraced different colours and styles I never thought I would wear. 


We should be celebrating and supporting each other, not tearing each other down. I would rather know that I am at least really trying to be a good person, than focusing on trying to look a certain way. 


So here we are, 'glorifying obesity'. We aren't going anywhere. We are cute, pretty, beautiful, handsome, bad ass, ass kicking, sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers, wives, husbands, daughters, sons, trans, queer, gay, fat, thin, chubby, feminine, masculine, tall, petite, disabled, colourful, unusual, fashionable, wonderful human beings, don't hate us for simply being ourselves.

Much love,

ps. Mary is the most ridiculous mega babe right?

Sugar, Darling

Thursday 23 April 2015

Bardot Top - Asda, last summer
Pleather Skirt - H & M
Hi tops - Converse
Lilith Necklace - The Serpent's Club
Eye shadow - Sugarpill
Lipstick - Barry M

Today's outfit is inspired by one of my favourite plus size fashion bloggers, Nancy Whittington of Sugar, Darling? Hence the blog title! She posted an outfit post featuring this skirt and I just had to have it! She recommended sizing up, I did, and she was so right, you need to size up for it to fit just right. The pleather is such an awesome look, I felt like I should be in Cry Baby with this outfit. It begged to be paired with a bardot top, and I picked this one up in George last summer for about £2!

I love seeing other plus size ladies wearing clothes I like. One of my most hated things on websites is just seeing clothes on a mannequin rather than a real human! I think Nancy and I have quite a similar body shape, except that having seen a recent post of hers where she wears a maxi dress I also own, that is a midi dress on me, I'm a good 6 inches taller hehe! I had no idea H & M had a plus size range, so I'm glad she featured them.


A less grumpy looking face to finish off the blog. Wearing my hair with this crimped look has become a new favourite for me. I sleep with my hair in plaits and just undo them in the morning. Because of my chronic head pain I can't wear my hair up, so anything I can do that is different and involves my hair down is awesome by me!

Much love,

I Love My Bedroom - The Art Wall

Tuesday 21 April 2015

I love my bedroom! I love having a room that is just 'ours', and that reflects our personalities. Our bedroom is the 'darkest' room in our house, with black furniture and flooring, and a black wall with skulls on, and it is so wonderfully ours. I love climbing into fresh bedding and snuggling up, watching our TV, sneaking the dog into the room for cuddles when Stu isn't looking and on weekends, getting the dog, and both the cats in the bed too for the snuggliest mornings ever!

Since we got our new wardrobes, we have redecorated our bedroom and have started the 'Art Wall'. I love the look of walls that are filled with different pieces of art in different frames and textures, so now we have the chance to fill a wall, I'm totally doing it! One of our walls is black with skulls, and the rest are white to make sure the room isn't too dark. It's monochrome, with flashes of colour thanks to the bedding and now, the Art Wall.

I am more than happy to do art trades with people for art for this wall, so if you wanted to swap prints of my photography or polaroids for your art, let me know! I particularly love moths and butterflies in art.

Sass & Belle Hanging Butterfly Ornament - no longer available

Sass & Belle Black Photo Frame £4.95

Lawrence Canham Moth Print



Anbhz 'bitchin'' Cross Stitch

Minimal Prints Pulp Fiction Print - no longer available

Minimal Prints Reservoir Dogs Print - no longer available

The Painted Skull Death Head Moth Roe Deer Skull

Fred George Cliff Burton Print

The Range Butterfly on Glass Art

Fred George James Hetfield Print

Sass & Belle Turquoise Photo Frame £4.95

And that's it so far! The photo frames from Sass & Belle just have what they came with in them right now, but I'd like to switch them out for something, they are just so small it's hard to know what to get to put in them. I have a few pieces I have my eye on so I can't wait to see it grow!

Twig

Sunday 19 April 2015

2 years ago I photographed the ever so gorgeous Twig, and I finally got the chance to again in March. Twig is so awesome. She's a proper little heavy metal chick who transforms into this glamorous and elegant creature when you point a camera at her. She specialises in lingerie modelling, and has the most amaaaaazing collection of underwear ever!


There was no way we weren't going to use these adorable kitty ears that Twig has. The cuteness!


Last time I shot with Twig the hair flip photos we shot were our favourites, so we had to go for more this time! Lingerie set is from Kiss Me Deadly. I went for something totally different with this shot, let me know what you think! This one doesn't look great on blogspot for some reason, the quality is pretty off.


Possibly my favourite shot of the day, I knew this one was going to be fab when I took it. See what I mean about Twig having the most incredible lingerie collection?! Robe and corset are from Kiss Me Deadly, the pasties, knickers and harnesses are by Karolina Laskowska, who is like, an insane lingerie genius. The Lingerie Addict liked this on instagram, made me day!


Now this is the real Twig! This is the band t-shirt she was wearing when I picked her up, She's a badass.



So I think this is Stu's favourite photo I've ever shot! I've had to link it via my tumblr as when I uploaded it directly to blogspot it haaaated the reds, so if it looks a little off, blame blogspot!

I love shooting with Twig, and I can't recommend her enough.  She's a lovely gal, and such a pleasure to work with, hopefully we'll get to shoot again later this year, no way we are letting it go 2 years this time!

Gemma Collins at Evans Dress Review

Friday 17 April 2015

Necklace - Sugar & Vice £16

Myself and maxi dresses have a love hate relationship, I love them, they generally don't like me so much. I struggle with the length, and the fit. For a plus size gal, I'm not busty, and this often means I don't fill out dresses where I should.

This dress from Evans however, is an absolute star! It is from the Gemma Collins collection, which has a beautiful mix of figure hugging dresses and floaty tops, most with beautiful spring floral prints. For me though, this dress caught my eye and stood out. A classic black dress is a must in every girl's wardrobe, and this is a stunning piece.

I got my regular size and it fitted perfectly, I'm 5ft 11 and could wear this with flats with it almost reaching the floor, so it's a great length.


The back of the dress mirrors the 'V' in the front, which I love, and it has a tie that can be left loose as I have worn it, or tied into a bow. The back is one of my favourite parts, that shape is beautiful. The material on this dress is so soft and comfortable, I was thrilled when I opened up my parcel and felt it. It's lush!


And the front! The embellished detail under the bust is a gorgeous bronze colour, and the neck line is very flattering, it actually made me look like I had a bigger bust which is suprising, but I also think it would look amazing on a bustier gal, it'll show off cleavage so well. The shoulder coverage means you can happily wear a bra to get the support you need, or in my case, the extra padding you like.

Overall, I really love this and I cannot wait to wear it! My Auntie and Uncle are renewing their vows in September, and this is perfect for that. Yay! Also, thank you Stu for helping me with the photos for this blog <3

Much love,
Kitty xxxxx

15 Random Questions

Saturday 11 April 2015

I love tag videos on youtube, and the last blog I did on them did well, so I thought I'd do another! I'm contemplating starting youtube videos, but don't have a camera for it, what do you think?



#1. What's a nickname only your family calls you? Steffi. A play on my real name, no one but family and very close loved ones get away with it!

#2. What's a weird habit of yours? I guess it depends on what you define as weird! I twirl my hair a lot when I notice less curly parts.

#3. Do you have any weird phobias? Horses. So terrified of them!

One time I touched a horse and didn't cry. One time. Never again.


#4. What's a song you secretly LOVE to blast && belt out when you're alone? Celine Dion - It's all coming back to me now. I bloody love that song. So not sorry!

#5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves? People who don't do the thank you wave when you give way for them. I drive to work during the school run and pass a local primary school and I swear, if I ever go postal it'll be because I've let 20 cars through doing the school run and not gotten a single thank you wave.

If this dog can wave, then SO CAN YOU!!


#6. What's one of your nervous habits? I count to calm myself, I grind my teeth, I twirl my rings, and I sort of, air drum my fingers. You know how you'd drum nails on a table when you are impatient? That motion but without touching anything.

#7. What side of the bed do you sleep on? Me and Stu actually just switched when we redecorated our bedroom, I sleep on the right side now, well, the right side if you are in the bed.

#8. What was your first stuffed animal && it's name? The first one I really remember, was a dog teddy, a pale sort of tan colour, I think he came from Asda, and he was called Harry. I wonder what ever happened to him.


#9. What's the drink you ALWAYS order at starbucks? I don't drink tea or coffee, or really 'do' Starbucks, but if I was to have one, I'd order a chocolate frappacino. They did a mint chocolate one for a while, lush!

#10. What's the beauty rule you preach.. but never ACTUALLY practice? Take off your makeup before bed... I try to always remember!

#11. Which way do you face in the shower? Away from the shower, it baffles me that people do it the other way.

#12. Do you have any 'weird' body 'skills'? I can do the splits, roll my tongue and turn it sideways and wiggle it.

#13. What's your favorite 'comfort food'/food thats 'bad' but you love to eat it anyways? Pizza. Always pizza.

#14. What's a phrase or exclamation you always say? Oh my glob. I love Adventure Time and it worked it's way into my vernacular. I also say awesome way too much.

#15. Time to sleep- what are you ACTUALLY wearing? Nothing! I have a ton of pajamas. Never wear them. Should probably just get rid.

Do you like me doing these sort of blogs? Let me know!

Various Goodies Haul!

Thursday 9 April 2015

I've picked up a few random pieces lately and figured I had enough to post a haul blog with them in. There's no real theme to this, it has accessories, jewellery and homeware bits in it, but hey, I love a good haul!

Philip Normal Sunglasses.

I already have these in black and red, and couldn't resist snapping them up in tortoiseshell too! I got these on depop for a bargainous £6.50. Philip Normal sells a lot of their designs at cheaper prices on depop, so it is well worth checking out, especially if you love the 90's trend.

Sugar & Vice OOAK Pentagram Necklace.

Another depop bargain! Sugar & Vice are ess_vee_ell on depop and often post one of a kind, sample pieces, and ex-photoshoot items at cheaper prices. I love a good pentagram, and these lasercut wooden pentagrams will be lovely paired with summer dresses.


George Home Warermelon Kingsize Duvet £14

No. I will not now, or ever be, over my watermelon obsession. It's the sweetest print! For £14, this was a steal and I had to get it. Totally our summertime bedding, sorry Stu!

Sugar & Vice Storm Cloud Necklace £9

Sugar & Vice had a huge spring sale of pieces that are soon to be retired, and having had my eye on this adorable necklace for a while I had to snap it up before it was gone! It's the perfect ironic necklace for a proper British summer.


Olivia Rocco Stag Bedding from Groupon

And no, I will also not now, or ever, get over my love of stags and antlers! I got this on Groupon for like, £12 I think. It's so lovely, I can't wait to put it on our bed.





Evans Black Gladiator Sandals

Oh Evans, I don't know what I'd do without you.  As basically the only place that seems to sell size 10 shoes for women that are actually cute, I love you! These are non-leather, and the zip up the back makes them super easy to put on. I love them so much. Huge thanks to my Mum for getting me these, the sweetheart. Now I just need the weather to get better so I can wear them all the time!

What bits have you picked up lately?

Much love,
Kitty xxxx
