Playful Lingerie from Marks & Spencer

On Sunday, I posted about a beautiful lingerie set from Marks & Spencer ... today, I plan to share my review of the matching lingerie set that is, quite frankly, to die for!

Playful sleepwear from Marks & Spencer

So a few years ago, you'd say Marks & Spencer and I'd wrinkle my nose with distaste.  It was the land of frumpy cardigans, shapeless dresses, and shoes worthy of a bin bag! 
I remember my Mum taking me there for a bra fitting when I was about 16 and struggling to find bras that were appropriate to my age and size ... cue a wizened looking old lady with severe glasses forcing me into something that my grandma would wear.  It wasn't a fun experience. 
Yet, the other day, when forced into M&S for my husband to try on trousers, I found myself entranced by some of the ranges on offer - there was some smoking summer workwear that I soon hope to purchase and a range of capri pants more retro chic than old lady.  I was impressed! 
The lingerie section, surprisingly, really drew my eye and I came away with a bag full of goodies to share with you.   Today, I want to show you the cute and playful nightwear set that will make you swoon!

#PlusSizePromise

Inspired by the amazing Katt of A Curvy Cupcake, the wonderful Debz of The (Not So) Secret Diary of a Wannabe Princess suggested a group of us plus size bloggers make five promises to ourselves for the coming summer. 
I thought this was a wonderful idea - mostly as publicly announcing my promises means that I may just keep them.  It also gave me a chance to reflect on what I wear and what I avoid wearing due to societies "fashion rules", especially when those rules relate to size. 
Now some of my promises, okay - most of my promises, are fashion related - but I've thrown a few lifestyle goals in there too.  I mean, I can't be completely fashion-centric, right?

1.  I sincerely promise to wear white ... and not just pretty blouses ...

Wearing white in summer

Apparently, fat girls don't look good in white!  
I find this statement laughable - I think I look pretty damn hot when walking down the aisle in white and I wear white blouses all the time (they're basically a staple of my workwear wardrobe).  
Now, I have often shied away from white trousers, mostly as put in my white trousers and I will spill coffee ... but does that mean I don't look good in them?  
I think fat girls look just as good in white as any other kind of girl, which is why I simply couldn't resist this beautiful ASOS Curve dress with waffle texture. 

A Princess in McQueen

This weekend is my one year wedding anniversary - did you see my wedding dress?
To celebrate, the husband and I are currently in Stratford.  Hopefully, the weather is a delight and I'm eating ice cream on the river front.  More likely, we're sheltering from the rain in a pub and eating chips! 
As I promised my husband a weekend away from me tip tapping my nails across the keyboard, I thought I'd share with you a simple outfit post, inspired by my recent day out in London.
