Wilde Mode Comfort Sets

If you follow me on Instagram then you will have seen that I've pretty much just been living in super cute crop tops/underwear sets from Wilde Mode recently. Honestly, they are the comfiest sets I have ever worn and we all know that I am about the comfort life

Wilde Mode was established in 2018 and is a small business based in Scotland. Every item is handmade with love by a small but dedicated team and they even donate any material scraps to textile students at a local college. Everything is gender-neutral and aims to be as inclusive as possible. The brand is all about empowerment, confidence, self-esteem and pride in being yourself.

Fuck What They Think Comfort Set* (Sold Out)

Abelini Diamond Rings

If you know me then you know that I absolutely adore jewellery. No outfit is complete without a pair of hoops and a handful of rings. I am always wearing as much jewellery as I possibly can. I mean I'm just sat at home writing today and I am currently wearing 2 ankle chains, 3 bracelets, 10 rings, 6 earrings, a nose ring and a necklace. I honestly feel naked without it. Abelini recently got in touch with me and asked if I wanted to find something to suit my style from their collection and who would I be if I turned down more jewellery. 

Roses + Whiskey Jewellery

If you read my May favourites you will have seen that I am in love with a new small business run by Jessica.

Roses + Whiskey is a gorgeous shop selling handmade crystal jewellery. Honestly, everything is so beautiful. That would probably be why I seem to have amassed such a large collection. I can't seem to say no to all the beautiful crystals. Not only is there quite a large choice of crystals, but you can also pick a chain length and colour to suit you. A black cord has also been recently introduced which looks great.

Simple Accessories with Tobi

As mentioned in yesterdays post I was sent some accessories to style. Yesterdays outfit was nice and cosy and perfect for autumn. Todays outfit is clinging on to summer and pretending that I won't need tights all the time soon.

Transitioning into Autumn with Tobi

Recently I was kindly sent a few accessories from tobi to style up some outfits. Safe to say I am feeling the autumnal vibes with this one. I mean I was definitely sweating as it happened to be super warm the day I decided to take these pictures but I'm definitely looking forward to wearing this outfit more in the colder months with a chunky scarf. 

Chaffree Kinickerboxers

All my fellow thick thighed people will understand the curse of chaffing or chub rub. Cute summer outfits end with beautifully raw painful thighs and make me not want to wear dresses. You would think being in a wheelchair would mean I didn't have to worry about this anymore and while it is slightly better I do still get it. You may not know this and you may not want to know this but sitting in a wheelchair in the heat all day results in incredibly sweaty ass and thighs and I cannot sit still so I still get the beloved chaffing. Y'know that feeling when you sit on a plastic chair in the sun well imagine sitting like that all day. It's not great.

Cold Shoulder Jumper

So these photos have been sat in a file waiting to be edited for agess. I kinda lost my confidence with outfit photos after enjoying my first one so much. I've been having a massive wobble with my body confidence recently and I just don't feel good in anything so I just stick to my trusty hoodie and leggings because I might as well be comfy right? I want to lose a bit more weight but I also want to love my body because weight does not define beauty. Therefore after hating the majority of the photos my dad took for me I decided to pick some and get this post up anyway. My dad is such a weirdo that I always end up laughing all the way through the photos so there is no serious fashion blogger poses here. Just me laughing my head off and rocking that double chin.

Simply Be Fleece Snuggle Top

Along with the Scarf neck sweater I did a post on the other day I was also kindly sent the  Pretty Secrets Fleece Snuggle Top*. As you may know I pretty much live in my pyjamas. Chronic illness means that getting dressed in outside clothes is not an every day thing. If I am in the house there is a 99.9% I am in pyjamas or at a push leggings. I am all about being comfy and cosy. The two most important things in life so I obviously had to check out Simply Be's Loungewear selection.

Simply Be Scarf Neck Sweater

I've been meaning to do outfit posts for ages. It's been a mix of a lack of confidence, being awkward in front of the camera (unless it's a selfie, I'm boss at selfies) and not having anyone to take photos that has held me back. When I got a lovely email from Clare asking if I wanted to try some bits from Simply Be Jumper range I decided this was the push I needed to start outfit posts. I went to Cardiff for the day with my dad and dragged him to the park to get some photos. He absolutely loved his job as photographer and we are now planning some more locations for outfit shots. 

Outfit Post Fail

Yesterday we went out for dinner for my brothers 21st. I actually got dressed up and wore something other than pyjamas or leggings and it felt good although no where near as comfy as pjs. I put on one of the 2 dresses I actually own and actually wore heels. Not a trainer in sight. I got all excited and thought I could actually do an outfit post and get some photos in front of the sea in Aberaeron. The wind had other ideas. Every photo was just an epic fail and I could not stop laughing so I decided to share them with you anyway. I mean you can kind of see my outfit.

Yours Non Wired Lace Bras

It is no secret that I hate wearing bras. I avoid wearing one at every opportunity. I'm not wearing one right now and my bra is usually the first thing I take off when I get in the house. I mean it doesn't even last that long most of the time. My family have got used to me taking it off in the car for the journey home and my mum even had to undo it for me whilst I was driving once.

I suffer really badly with rib pain and the bastard that is know as costochondritis. Seriously one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. The pain literally stops me in my tracks & makes breathing soo painful. Why does it have to be so essential to life. As you can imagine, a bra sitting on your ribs encourages the damn thing and exacerbates the pain hence why I avoid them.

However, when you have kinda big boobs and live in vest tops a bra is some times essential. Apparently flashing is frowned upon. Who knew? This meant I tended to live in my sports bra but they have really chunky bands and get quite hot. Then I found these gorgeous non wired lace bras in yours and it was love at first wear. 

Karma Se7en Body Jewellery

I'm a huge fan of piercings and I currently have 5 in my right ear, 3 in my left and 1 in my nose. I've been looking for some new studs for my tragus and helix for a while now because I'm terrified of losing the only ones I own. Karma Se7en kindly sent me some gorgeous pieces to put my mind at ease and I'm in love. 

Jewllerybox Jewellery

If you have never heard of Jewellerybox where have you been? Also get yourself over to their site pronto. They have so many gorgeous items. They also just happen to be the loveliest company ever. I've been having a pretty rough few months with the last few weeks being the worst. I just happened to tweet saying I was going to treat myself to something from them to cheer me up and to see if anyone had any recommendations. The super lovely Gemma then sent me these two gorgeous pieces, I am so in love with, just to make me smile. They honestly made my week so much better and I cant thank them enough.

First of all, how cute is their packaging. The simple brown boxes are just too cute. Jewellerybox have something for everyone with a huge range of prices and gorgeous affordable gold and silver items. I  have to have good quality jewellery as cheaper costume jewellery irritates my skin but this usually means my purse suffers. Not any more. I can see myself buying a lot more from this site.

The first item I was sent was this absolutely stunning Sterling Silver Clear CZ Open Heart Necklace*. It is the most delicate and beautiful necklace I think I own. I'm a little bit scared of breaking it because super clumsy but I'm in love. Also how adorable are the lil pegs.

The second item was this Sterling Silver 2mm Stacking Twisted Rope Ring*. I am a huge huge huge ring addict. Seriously I wear at least 7 rings a day and I can't stop buying them. I went for a bigger size in this one so that I could wear it as a thumb ring and it looks awesome. My hands look so pretty right now. I am definitely going to be buying some smaller sizes in this ring so I can wear it on other fingers as well. They come it sizes I-U and I went for S because I have huge knuckles and sausage fingers.

So if you want to treat yourself or if you are stuck for gift ideas (they also do mens jewellery) I highly recommend them. They even offer free shipping on orders over £10 and postage is super quick.

Have you got anything from jewellerybox?

Personalised Hoodies

I've been meaning to get this post up for aaages. In April I think it was my family and I went to Devon. I did a couple of posts on one of our meals and horse riding but I never got around to the coolest part.  If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you will have seen that I got a fabulous Pink hoodie.

Gemporia Madagascan Blue Apatite Ring

I spend many an evening browsing the Gemporia site looking at all the gorgeous jewellery. I am obsessed with their rings but I have never taken the plunge and make an order. I'm quite picky when it comes to jewellery. Plus I have super chunky knuckles which makes ordering online difficult. So when they offered the chance to work with them I jumped at it.

I was given the chance to try this gorgeous 1.43ct Madagascan Blue Apatite Sterling Silver ring* and oh my it is love. I must have spent about 2 hours looking at all the different pretty things in all different colours. However I am a massive fan of blue and this is just stunning. Words cannot describe how much I love this ring. 

This ring is such a beautiful shade of light blue which catchers the sun in such a gorgeous way. It looks great worn every day and complements other rings (Im a total ring whore, unfortunately I broke a few fingers which are now too fat for the rings I own so need to invest in some more). It also looks fabulous on its own as a statement accessory to go with a LBD on a night out. The choices are endless and its a gorgeous way to add some sparkle into your life. Side note - It also looks great paired with pyjamas and scraped back hair on sick days and makes you feel just a little bit more glamorous. Well as glam as you can feel stuck in bed with a hot water bottle. 

At £36 I feel like this is such a bargain for such a stunning ring. They have items with such a range of prices ranging from cheap to slightly out of my budget. Expect a wishlist post soon as I have my eye on so many more items and may be making a purchase soon to reward myself for my degree result - 2:1 if you were wondering ;)

Another great feature of Gemporia is their ring size gauge. I ordered one ages ago but never got around to using it. You can order yours for free here. Its kind of like a cable tie that you can wrap around your finger until it feels like a comfortable size & then read off the letter. This way you can be confident that you are ordering the right size. Perfect for big knuckled babes such as myself. 

Have you ever bought anything from Gemporia?

First Ever Outfit Post

I've wanted to do some outfit posts for a while but am seriously lacking in the confidence department. I'm not 100% happy with my body. I am fat and I am learning to love myself. The other issue is, I don't actually wear real clothes that often. Nope I am not a nudist I just live in pyjamas and leggings and any other comfy item of clothing I can find because I spend a lot of time at home and in bed.

That being said we went out for a meal Easter Sunday (post to come) and I wore real people clothes and my brother took a picture of me on Dartmoor which I kinda liked so I thought I'd dip my toe into outfit posts and maybe do some more (with more than one picture next time).

So if we ignore my weird smile and slightly uncomfortable looking pose I quite like this picture.

Kimono - Primark

Vest top - New Look

Skirt - H&M

Tights - Matalan

Hi-tops - Matalan

Necklace - Charmed Ivy

Sunglasses - River Island

Hoop Earrings - Claires 

When I started the outing I was wearing my wedge spiked ankle boots from New look but my ankles and standing on gravel in heels was not going to end well so I swapped to my trusty high-tops that I have lived in ever since I bought them. Seriously they are the only shoes I wear these days. They have a slight heel in them so I look taller (when I actually stand up) and weirdly they support my feet better plus they have sparkles on the toes. H&M bodycon skirts are a bargain at £4 and I have a whole rainbow of colours but this one is my favourite (shh don't tell the others) and they last surprisingly well . I can see me wearing this Kimono a lot this summer as it's such a gorgeous colour and light enough that my crappy body wont over heat.

So do you think I should do more outfit posts?

Charmed Ivy Necklaces

I'm a massive fan of Charmed Ivy Jewellery and did a post on a some other necklaces I have from them a while back which you can find here. Can you tell I have a weakness for necklaces. 

So here's what I have treated myself to recently.

Live Your Dream Necklace £4

I actually only picked this necklace up as an afterthought to boost my total so I could use a discount voucher but I haven't actually taken it off since it arrived. I love it so much. It's so simple and goes with everything and the 20" chain is the perfect length

Moonlit Galaxy Necklace £3.50

As soon as I saw this necklace on the Charmed Ivy Instagram I knew I had to have it. I am obsessed with the moon/stars/galaxies etc. and it's blue so it was fate. I'm not a massive fan of the chain on this as it's quite short but I'm just going to switch it to one of my longer chains and it'll be prefect. 

Charmed Ivy are currently offering 20% off for valentines which is running until Saturday with the code 'Cupid' so if you've had your eye on anything now's the time to treat yourself.

Charmed Ivy Jewellery

Sorry for the lack of posts. I haven't been feeling too great and I've been crazy busy. Anyway as you may know I love my jewellery and after spending many nights browsing Charmed Ivy and drooling over their really well priced items I finally made an order and I'm so glad I did. I'm really into necklaces with a longer chain and a bigger pendant at the moment so I picked these 3 and I am so in love with all of them.

Turquoise Small Horn Necklace - £3.50

I wanted the bigger version of this which can be found here but they didn't have a turquoise one so I went for this one instead but I think it may actually better because it's perfect for layering with others. The horn is such a gorgeous colour and I have worn this so much since buying it. The chain is 25" but you can customise the chain length on any necklace if you want to.

Catch Your Dreams Necklace - £5

I am obsessed with dream catchers. I went through a phase of my meds giving me the pleasant side effects of nightmares so my brother bought me a dream catcher and I have never been happier with a present from him. They're just so pretty and this necklace is no exception. It also has blue stones on it which could not be any more perfect as it is my favourite colour. This was the necklace that prompted me to make my order. As soon as I saw it I needed it in my life.

The Spear of Isis Necklace £5

This necklace is so gorgeous. As it's black it will go with everything and it goes perfectly with the earrings I got from Black Tied a few weeks ago. I can see this being worn all the time in winter. For a fiver this is such a bargain.

Charmed Ivy has so many gorgeous items for really good prices and even better postage is only a £1. What more could you ask for? There are so many more items I want like this headchain and these arrowhead earrings I know I'll end up making another order soon.

You can also follow them on twitter and instagram for even more temptation

Black Tied Jewellery

I am a magpie when it comes to shiny things and seriously obsessed with jewellery. I am rarely seen without rings, earrings and necklaces. I recently discovered Black Tied. There is so much gorgeous jewellery on this site.

I first went on there to find some midi rings. I love my Shop Dixi rings but their midi rings are quite chunky whereas Black tied have some gorgeous sterling silver (essential) and nice and thin midi rings in a set of 2 which is exactly what I wanted. Could not have been more perfect. These rings have been attached to my fingers ever since I bought them and for £12 for the set of 2 they are a really good price.

I also got this gorgeous pair of Black Hematite Gemstone Arrowhead earrings. I am so in love with them. For £10 they are amazing quality and they look so good. I was really lazy and didn't put the rubber backs on them the first time & they fell out a few times but they come with backs so I do suggest keeping them on. They are really comfy to wear and not too heavy which is an issue with a lot of dangly earrings. It is however very difficult to photograph mirrored earrings but look how gorgeous they are.

I have my eye on so many other pieces from this site so any time I have spare pennies I know where I'm going. I love the Silver Feather Pendent necklace and the Tribal Arrowhead necklace and I think they would look amazing layered


The lovely Laura from Black Tied has given me a discount code for my amazing followers so if you want to treat yourselves you can get 15% off with the discount code 'MID15' until the 31st August.
You enter the code at the last step of the process which is after the PayPal step. You fill in your PayPal details, confirm them and then it will take you back to the Black Tied site where you enter the code.

What are you lusting after from Black Tied or do you already have some pieces? 

If you buy any thing let me know what you got.

New Jewellery Additions

I am a massive jewellery addict and total magpie when it comes to anything sparkly. After I finished my exams I decided I needed a treat which is obviously the rules, Do something hard reward yourself with jewellery, shoes or make-up. Exam season makes me very poor.

I couldn't decide so I ended up buying things from Shop Dixi  which is my favourite jewellery shop, Black Tied and Luna

Black Tied Sterling Silver Midi Rings £12 for the two

Im obsessed with rings at the moment and currently wear 7 daily. Midi rings means you can wear more rings without looking over loaded. I had some from somewhere else before but they weren't sterling silver so tarnished. These have been attached to my fingers ever since they arrived.

I definitely want to try more from their collection

Luna Crescent Moon Necklace £4.50

I love the moon and have been looking for a moon necklace for a while. This one is on a 24 inch chain so is nice and long and I love it.

Luna Elephant Charm Bracelet £6.50

Luna Double Feather Charm Bracelet £4

Luna Crescent Moon Charm Bracelet £6.50

I'm pretty sure I got these for £3.50 in a sale. I love them so much. They are so cute and can be worn with everything. I did have a bit of an issue with the chain breaking on one of mine but I just reattached the broken chain and bent the links back into place and was good as new. 

Kingdom Turquoise Multi Stone Amulet Bracelet 

This was a Birthday present from one of my amazing friends as he saw it on one of my wishlist posts. The stones are a gorgeous colour and it looks great on.

Sterling Silver Plain Band Thumb Ring £14

I love this ring. As I said I'm a massive fan of rings and I needed a thumb ring in my life. I have massive knuckles so was a  bit worried it wouldn't fit. It was a bit of a squeeze but it fits and looks great.

Shyla Leaf Anklet £10

I'm a massive fan of anklets and own about 5. This one is a great addition to my collection. I love the leaves and it looks amazing on. Its going to look really good on the beach in the summer.

The last addition to my jewellery collection is this absolutely gorgeous Clogau charm bracelet I got for my 21st from my family. I adore it and it hasn't left my wrist since. 

What did you treat yourself to after exams?
