The Liebster Award

Tuesday, 26 January 2016



The ever so lovely Tanya of Secret Plus Size Goddess nominated me for a Liebster award! I have been nominated before, but with totally different questions, way back in April 2015 (which you can read here) so I was more than happy to be nominated again! I love reading all about different people and finding new bloggers, and the Liebster Award is a fab way to do that.



If you could make one wish come true (either for yourself of someone else) What would it be and Why?

I'd take Stu to South Africa so he could go cage diving with Great White Sharks. It's always been his dream, and I would love to be the one to make it happen!

What is your favourite Song, and why?

Such a tough one! It changes all the time depending on my mood. My all time favourites are probably Skid Row - Sweet Little Sister, Alice in Chains - Them Bones, The Eagles - Life in the Fast Lane, Reel Big Fish - Where Have You Been? and Stone Sour - Zzyx Road. But it entirely depends on my mood, sometimes I'm all about songs that make me happy and want to sing along, other times I'm more introspective and reach for my favourite country artists.

Name one place, real or imaginary that you have always wanted to go.

There are so many places I want to see, I love travelling and history. The ultimate is probably a road trip tour of the US, with photoshoots with my favourite models as I go.

What item of clothing can you not live without?

Boots! I love boots. I don't care if I'm dressed casually, or all glammed up, stompy boots are my fave.



What is your favourite meal and why?

I'm a huge fan of tikka massala with loads of spinach, with either home made chips or rice, or the all time fave, a good margarita pizza or garlic bread surpreme, with tons of garlic sauce. It's gotta be a good, thick garlic sauce! They just make me happy.

If you could be someone else for the day, Who is it, and Why?

I'd have to be a guy I think, for all the obvious reasons a girl might want to be a guy for the day haha! Someone like Idris Elba. I'd just look at myself in the mirror all day being beautiful.

What has been your worst Fashion Faux Pas AND pictures if possible please!

Oh man, there have been so many! My teenage greebo years were interesting to say the least. I used to wear my jeans really low with boxer shorts visible, and thought fishnets were a viable option to wear as a t shirt. I looked like I was wearing a string vest, but in pink and black! I thought I was so punk and cool. I was not! I also wore a lot of bandeau tops because I loved the song 'Ban the tube top' by Reel Big Fish. Which was probably not their intention, to encourage anyone to wear them, which meant a lot of time spent pulling them up.


I wore a lot of band t shirts and was ridiculously moody.


I was also incredibly matchy matchy and drew stars on my face. Oh the shame.

Who do you admire and Why?

So many people! Anyone who has the courage to stand up for what they believe in, and live authentically.

Where do you want to see the PS Blogging community in 5 years?

I would love to see us more widely accepted, still fighting for equality and diversity. Hopefully we can be in a really positive place, with diverse and wonderful role models, spreading the love!

Who/What is your secret crush or Guilty Pleasure?

I'm not very secretive about my more unusual crushes haha! I have a thing for Freddy Flintoff, League of Their Own has totally made me crush on him, Idris Elba is a true thing of beauty, probably the weirdest one is Robert Knepper. I love him with a southern accent in Prison Break, even though he's the bad guy!


I'm all about that accent with that face. I love a London accent. It's why I'm marrying one!


I can't resist cheeky.


I don't know what it is, but damn!

IF you had to move to a desert island with no social media access, what FIVE items would you take?

Oh man! No social media would suck. I hate not being online. OK. So first thing would be my camera, because I can't not take photos. Second would be moisturiser, I can't cope without it. Third would have to be a really soft blanket. Fourth would be an endless supply of notepads and blue biros so I can write. And finally, something absolutely filled with music with a forever battery life as I can't survive without music.

My questions for my nominees!

1) What is your favourite food?
2) Where would you love to visit?
3) Who is your ultimate crush?
4) What is your favourite clothing piece you've ever owned?
5) What is your worst fashion faux pas?
6) Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
7) Who are your favourite bloggers?
8) If you could be any animal for the day, what would you be?
9) Do you have any pets? Share photos! If you don't, what would you have?
10) What was your dream job as a kid?
11) What is your favourite thing about blogging?

I nominate Dom, Melly, Chloe, Lottie, Steph, Nikee, Charlotte, Mookie, Sam and Amanda!

Much love,
Kitty xxxxx

I got an award! The Liebster Award!

Friday, 3 April 2015

I was greatly surprised to discover the other day that the ever so sweet Curves & Curls had nominated me for a Liebster Award! 


I hadn't heard of this before, so did some googling and found some more info about it. It is an award that is designed to promote and encourage new bloggers, is given by bloggers to bloggers, answer some different questions about yourself, and pass it on to other newer bloggers!

The Rules:
  • Thank and link back to the blogger who nominated you.
  • Answer the 11 questions that they have asked you.
  • Nominate bloggers who have a following of <200 on Bloglovin’
  • Ask them 11 questions.
  • Notify the nominees.

This is what the super sweet Hayley had to say about me, I like that she thinks I'm kooky!


The Questions:

  • What is your favourite plus size brand and why?
I'm a huge fan of ASOS Curve. I get so much from them, so regularly! Their stuff tends to fit great, be of good quality, and they have new pieces in every day.
  • Why did you start your blog?
I started my blog last year, because I was discovering that I was feeling more confident in myself, and wanted to explore more different fashions and styles. A few years ago I got out of a rough relationship and found I'd been basically wearing a uniform of black full length leggings, black midi skirts, and a plain top. No jewellery, no accessories, I was just super boring, and that is so not me! So to push myself into more new styles and adventures I thought starting my blog would help, and it really has.
  • Have you got any advice for plus size girls wanting to start a blog of their own?
Just be you! When I started I was worried because my style is a little all over the place that people wouldn't read it, and then I figured what the hell, who cares if people read it, I want to feature stuff I like, and maybe help show off some brands or inspire someone else's style in the mean time then awesome!
  • What's your best confidence boosting tip?
Wear what makes you feel awesome, whether that's a crazy pair of shoes, a bright lipstick, jazzy accessories or just a slouchy band tee. I realised that what makes me feel my best is knowing I have a full outfit put together, from my makeup through to my feet, and then I can sashay about and feel bad ass and not give a crap about what other people think.
  • What's your favourite hobby / way to blow of steam? 
My hobby is a pretty obvious one, it's kind of my 'professional' hobby, my photography. It helps me be creative, and explore emotions, and also meet new wonderful people. I love evenings with Stu just spent chilling out watching Netflix, there is nothing better than being home with someone you love.

  • Name a guilty pleasure.
What most people consider guilty pleasures, I really don't! I celebrate the kind of more 'shameful' likes of mine with great glee. I love Dolly Parton, I can't resist belting out to Meat Loaf, I love Star Trek more than there are words, and I embrace it all.
  • What's your favourite food?
Pizza! I love a good pizza with garlic sauce.
  • What is your dream job / career?
I always thought I'd love to be a fashion photographer full time. Making sets, planning photoshoots, booking models, making art. That or a fashion designer, I love styling so much, I wish I could make my own clothes and jewellery.
  • If your blog could be an ambassador for any brand which one would you choose?
Ooo that is a tough one! Probably ASOS Curve.
  • Favourite TV show?
Gah, that's an impossible question, I love TV! My all time favourites are Oz, The Shield, House, Orange is the New Black, Sons of Anarchy, South Park and Adventure Time!
  • Favourite song lyric of all time?
Another impossible question! My favourites are probably 'I'm over existing in limbo, I'm over the myths and placebos, I don't really mind if I just fade away, I'm ready to live with my family, I'm ready to die in obscurity, 'Cause I'm so tired that I gotta go' from Zzyzx Road by Stone Sour, and well, anything by Dolly Parton or The Wreckers. I love acoustic and country music. Because I am partially deaf, lyrics are so so important to me.

I nominate....

1. Anna Khrohnistic. I'm a huge fan of Anna's style, she is so genuinely creative and inspiring, and she's an incredible photographer too.

2. Sugar & Vice. I love their designs, and I love seeing what thoughts went into their pieces and what the team love.

3. Mary Burgers. Mary is an adorable plus size babe, who is a total sweetie and I just love her style!

4. Life of a Fat Roller Girl. Shereen found me on facebook, I love her defiant attitude, and that she is a plus size roller derby babe!

My questions for you guys are...

1. What got you into fashion?
2. Who are your fashion inspirations?
3. What is your favourite piece of jewellery or clothing that you own?
4. What would be your dream adventure?
5. What fashion brand would you say is your favourite?
6. Where do you get your body confidence?
7. What is your favourite food?
8. What is your dream fashion piece?
9. What is your favourite animal?
10. What is your favourite movie?
11. What is your favourite song lyric? (loved this question so I pinched it!)

Much love,
Kitty xxxxx
