Student Buys

Hey Everyone!

Well, I've been having loads of fun selling my old shop stock on eBay! So thank you very much to everyone who has bought something! There's a few things left if you want to grab a bargain!

I must admit, with these new funds and the student loans I've splashed out a little and bought myself a few necessities (ahem!).

So, I got the Iron Fist Tank Girl Jacket from eBay (egg n chips clothing) for £25 (until it went back up to £45!). I love it, it's a little short and doesn't have a hood, but I love the thick stretchy warm material and the zip pockets and the cool design on the back.

The owl sweater was from New Look and is pretty awesome. I'd been checking it out for quite a while and kept going back to it. I love the 3 quarter sleeves and that the design is exactly the same on the back.

The trainers actually arrived today. They're vans and I got them from schuh during their sale. £24.99 with free delivery and an extra 10% off with "WELCOME10"! I love them, super cute and a pink sole!

My totoro t-shirt finally arrived on monday! I bought it from the awesome site that is qwertee.com. They are UK based and sell a different t-shirt design each day. They cost £8 (plus £2.50 delivery!) and you never know what design will be next! You can vote for your faviourite to be printed!

The fingerless gloves are from Too Fast and I ordered them from the US site as it made it a little cheaper, plus I ordered a lucky accessory for $8, which could be anything! Exciting (:

That's my spending well and truly done!

I've ordered more tights though, including UK 8-14, 20-26 and 28-32 :)

Peace and Love

Plus Size Amazing Tights

Well, I received my wholesale order of tights today (and my little order from RJB!)! I must admit, I'm very tempted to keep a pair of each style!

I have 5 varieties available; Comic Book, Candy Hearts, White Leopard, Knitted Leopard Ombre and Galaxy! Ranging from £5.99 to £7.99, FREE UK POSTAGE, but I will ship worldwide too :)

All are a UK 20-26. I'm a 20 and I find that they're really stretchy! The material is super soft and strong; I don't feel like I'm going to make them ladder if I pull them a bit too hard. The print is also really good too, not like some were they aren't part of them material, these are really good quality and so awesome too ^_^ 

Knitted Leopard Ombre £5.99

Candy Hearts £7.99

Comic Book £7.99

White Leopard £7.99

Galaxy £7.99

All orders will be posted first class and all payments made through paypal (all nice and secure!).

If you'd like to order any, just email me at remlangton@hotmail.com and I'll get them out to you ASAP! 

Peace and Love!

P.S. My supplier also have other styles, designs, colours, sizes, a huge range!

Rebellious Fat Girls I - Denim Shorts

I think it would be a cold day in Hell if I ever heard anyone say that they never felt like they couldn't wear what they wanted 'cause they were too big, or too short, or too tall!

So, I heard a little about this thing about wearing what you like? Peculiar concept, huh?! I've always sorta dressed how I wanted within reason. I used to read about how bootcut jeans were best for pear shapes, or how accentuating your shoulders would even out your hips. But really, it's just media/fashion trying to sell clothes, tricking us chubsters into thinking the latest shaper jeans would make us the next "insert slim celebrity name" and we would go out buying them in our wobbly troves.

But really, whatever size you are, the clothes don't matter, it's the confidence, sense of style, personality, and the smile (or the mysterious far-away look).

In light of this, I thought I'd share a few of my faviourite looks that "I'd really love to wear if I were thinner", but will actually invest now I've realised I don't, and should never, give the proverbial.

Firstly, short denim shorts, cool tights, pair of docs, and a fun shirt. I love the look of denim shorts and tights. I used to wear them now and again when I was feeling confident, cutting my fat jeans up that had gone a bit tatty.

You would not believe how difficult it was to find a big girl in denim shorts that wasn't porn/being ridiculed for "thinspo" (god awful!) or of actually slim/skinny girls! I managed to come across this total cutie!

Rebellious Fat Girls by rebekah-emily-mary-langton featuring a ribbed tee

Ha. OMG. Those Doc Martens. I think I'm gonna google how to do that and do it to my old pair. How gorgeous!

So, I'd probably wear this kind of outfit to any sort of day-day event, like going to uni, shops, town, when it's a bit warmer. 

I'm gonna keep my eyes out for a funky pair of denim shorts to fit my fat ass and thighs, the perfect KISS t-shirt (or maybe The Darkness; Justin Hawkins is such a sexy lil thing!) and a fun cat ear headband! I associate these way too much with my teenage years of being a bit of a cosplay weirdo, and running about as a cat :/ But these are a bit more socially acceptable :) I think I gotta!

Also, those tights. Well! I love my funky tights and have been looking on and off for a while. I have Pamela Mann as a wholesaler from when I had my shop, but never knew they did plus size tights! We're talking about tights up to a UK size 32! How amazing is that! And! They're having a 3 for 2 sale, so I'm gonna be all over that once my loan comes through :D Lots of fun styles to choose from, probably bring you a little choice update when I make my order. 

Peace and Love

The Sales!

I shouldn't really need to introduce this, we all know what's coming after the Christmas and New Year festivities...and that's the big January Sales!

As I get older, and start to spend my money more wisely, I start to realise how great the sales can be! And the best way is to check out what you want, try it on and know where it is, so that you can go straight to whatever it is and cash in on those great deals!

I'm obsessed with Kirstie Allsopp, particularly her style, elegance, individuality and fun! She's a beautiful woman and I bet if her and Nigella Lawson had grown up together they would be best friends (the annoying kind that are always perfect and doing fun things!). 

Now and again, I do go through my phase of Kirstie Allsopp-esque clothing. Think knee high boots, good tights and a classically tailored, but whacky print dress. And I must say, I do love this phase! As it usually comes along with baking/cooking/crafting, which is always good!

Recently, I visited Kaliko. A brand that is probably aimed at an age a little higher than 21 (ahem) but can surprise you with some great items. A little pricey, with the average dress at £60-£85, but fantastic none the less. I was with my mum who did, I must admit, force me to try on a few dresses, that at first sight seemed a little dull. But when on, they looked great! The material, quality and cut of the dresses is above most found on the high street, and you just know that it will be a great staple piece for many years to come. 

These were some of my favourites, I tend to dress quite autumn/winter-y throughout the year, so I can see these with some nice soft leggings/tights, knee high leather boots and a great jacket. Oh, I can't wait for the sales!

Was £85 Now £40
I must admit, this is one of the dresses that I didn't like on the hanger,
but when I tried it on, it was just luxurious! The material is fantastic and the fit is just brilliant. 

Was £60 Now £20!
I love the alternating sizes of stripes, very clever and flattering.

Was £60 Now £30
A beautiful, versatile print, with pockets(!) and the material is quite soft and felty, lovely!

Over the next week in the run up to the January sales I will be bringing you more of my favourite deals, from some fantastic high street brands! 

Merry Christmas!

Sorry about the lack in posts the last few days, been a bit distracted by long knitting sessions and back to school shopping, this has also meant a lack of photo taking for my project, dang it. 

After seeing a post by the lovely Rach of So, hi. on her fashion trends for the upcoming weather, I was inspired to do a more british version, for the weather we'll be experiencing in the next month or so. It's also British Wool Week! which I absolutely love, so making sure I wear something knitted that I admire for the skill and quality every day :) 

More on British Wool Week in the next few days. 

I bought this earlier last week, £35 from Dorothy Perkins, and I absolutely love it! The colours are great and it's a really lightweight knit. Perfect for around the house, or out shopping on warmer days. I bought it for when I'm in the studio at college and want something a bit warm to wear that's more substantial than a cardigan, but still light enough to be comfortable. 

A Shopping Discovery: White Stuff

Hello lovely readers :)

I got myself a great new bit of technology yesterday, an iPad2. I'm overwhelmed by it, but when it comes to bloggin', it's a bit awkward. I think that this might just be a Blogger problem? Anybody else experience this?

Anyway! Today I was out shopping with my ma' in a little market town called Beverly, it's quite up and coming and has shops that we dont even have in Hull. One of these shops is White Stuff and I think I'm in love. When on every hanger it has engraved "Happiness in Every Stitch" I know I'm in the right place.

It's expensive, I must admit. For a dress you're looking at £65, a cardigan or skirt £50 and a top £40, which isn't too bad for a one off purchase, but when you want everything in the shop, it can't be quite an expensive venture.

Below are some images from the inside the changing room, though they are all unique, and some of my faviourite items from their website

Owls!
