YOURS - Plus Size Fashion Haul

I love Yours, they are one of my favourite places to buy plus size fashion items from. They are trendy clothes and not overly priced.

If you follow me on twitter (@sonyalovesmkeup) you would’ve seen me tweeting a lot about how much money I’d been spending at Yours Clothing. I basically was hitting up my local store every Saturday for like a month or so. Which is a little bizarre for me as I am not much of a big spender...well not for clothes anyway.

This post should have been up ages ago. As a blogger sometimes you need to rely on others to help you take shots of your hauls or OOTD's. Well I finally got someone(s) (my sister and best friend) to take my photos for me, so now I can share with you the items I got.

So let's get on with the haul...

All White Errrthang

1. White Leather Gladiator Block Heels

2. White Basic Lace Up Plimolls 

3. White Lace Up Striped Sole Plimsolls

4. White Ankle Strap Block Heel Sandals

5. Wide Fit White Jewelled Strap Sandals

 6. White Leather Chunky Ankle Strap Heels

7. Wide Fit White Ankle Strap Sandals 

FASHION | Forever 21 Jewellery Haul

Hey guys and dolls,

I've never shopped in Forever 21, I have frequented the store often, as my best friend LOVES IT! The reason I've never shopped there is purely because they don't cater tom size, which is unfortunately because I do like some of their clothes and shoes. So on a girls day out at Westfield she dragged me in there because they had a 50% off sale with a further 50% reduction.

HAUL | I love presents

Hello, hello, hello!

It may sound a bit silly but I'm really excited to be back blogging. I have so much I wanna say and do with my blog, it's now just about finding the right words and time to do it.

I want to start including more life stuff on here. Like advice blogs, not specifically beauty related, but more about things I have had personal experience with and would like to share my thoughts and feelings on. But until then let's kick it into high gear and get on with the post.

DISARONNO wears VERSACE + launch party

So glad I can finally blog about this, good thing I know how to keep a secret. 

A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of finding out that Disaronno were pairing up with another fashion house...VERSACE. Bringing us the perfect gift for the fashion obsessed cocktail lovers out there. Speaking of cocktails with this awesome bottle comes a fabulous little cocktail, Disaranno Versace Sour but more on that later.

Augusto Reina, CEO of ILLVA Saronno commented on the collaboration: “For the second year running we are so proud to be partnering with another of the world’s finest Italian fashion houses. To be able to include Moschino and Versace amongst our list of collaborators is a real honour.” 

FASHION | ASOS CURVE WISHLIST #1

Hey guys and dolls,

Recently I heard that ASOS Curve went up a size in their range. It now offers a size 28, happy days for the curvier ladies. It's only gone up one size, but I have to give them credit for at least increasing the size. I assumed the curve range only went up to the usual "plus size" sizes of 16/18, but was happily proven wrong.

So I decided to have a look at what the range had to offer. Here are some items that caught my eye, it's a bit monochrome but I was just having a quick glance.

FASHION: Evans Summer Clothes (+jewellery) Haul

Hey guys and dolls,

Summer Clothes Haul

Here are some bits I have gotten over the last couple months, in preparation for the warmer weather. If you live in London, you'll know it has been pretty lovely, a bit muggy but bright.I purchased these items from plus size retailer Evans. I think the majority of my clothes come from there. When shopping at Evans I tend to only shop online, because there is more variety and more chances of getting the items I want. My local Evans always runs out of my size really quickly. And doing it online means I can get it delivered to my door and have the option to get a discount. So continue on reading to see what I got.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SONYA LOVES MAKEUP!

Source: Google Images

WOW! My blog turned 4 yesterday. It doesn't feel like it's been that long.

My blog was something that I started randomly. My friend Stevie (one half of the velvet epidemic) was actually the reason I started blogging. I'd wanted to start a blog for a while, but just never did it. Stevie had started up a blog of her own and gave me the confidence to go for it. So this blog started as a place for me to share my passion for make up. It has since become somewhere for me to share a whole lot more. It's a very big part of my life that I love very much.

FASHION: River Island Zip Trim Messenger Bag

Hey guys and dolls,

Zip Trim Messenger Bag - £25

I finally popped my River Island bag cherry. I've always wanted a River Island bag but I found their bags kinda pricey. And I also heard bad reviews from friends, but I always like to try things out for myself.

I had to recycle some photos from my BBQ OOTD post. Because I was super unhappy with the full length pics I took for this post.

FASHION: Wishlist #1

Hey guys and dolls,

1. Black Woven Cross Body Bag (River Island) - £18

2. Black Quilted Chain Strap Bag (River Island) - £28

3. Blue Figure of 8 maxi dress (Evans) - £45

4. Ella Black Embellished Toe Post Sandal (Evans)- £29.50

5. Filigree Leaf Drop Earrings (Forever 21) - £2

FASHION: Event OOTD

Hey guys and dolls,

Here's a quick look at what I wore to the La Roche-Posay event. What I love about some events is there is no pressure to be all fancy. So I went kinda casual, which I do most of the time.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

Hey guys and dolls,

The title of this post makes me wanna breakout into song and sing the classic by David Bowie.

As you can guess a change is a coming to Sonya Loves Makeup again. Not a big change, so don't worry.

Some people say change isn't necessarily a good thing, and they're right...sometimes. But change is what keeps things interesting.

FASHION: BBQ OOTD

Hey guys and dolls,

Last weekend on a very sunny bank holiday weekend I attended a family friends birthday BBQ. Here is what I wore.

FASHION: VERY Haul

Hey guys and dolls,

Here I am with another VERY haul. I've come to find Very as one of my go to online places to shop.

I did a massive shop, but like every woman knows when you buy a whole bunch of things online you end up only keeping a few bits.

Fashion Friday: Evans Ankle Boots

Hey guys and dolls,

Black Buckle Casual Ankle Boot - £35 

(I got 25% off and paid £26.25)

These are my favourite pair of boots. I wear them pretty much every time I go out. You can wear them with a casual day outfit or add a little edge to an evening outfit.

Fashion Friday: Simply Be Knitwear

Hey guys and dolls,

Spring is fast approaching, it's sunny outside but still very breezy. So I think it's still ok to post about these purchases. 

I fell in love with these jumpers the moment I laid eyes on them. They are so my style and I just had to have them. They cost more than what I'd usually pay for a jumper but once in a while you might as well #treatyoself lol.

Fashion Friday: VERY (mini) haul

Hey guys and dolls,

A while ago I was so excited to discover that Very do plus size clothes...this will be the death of me...financially that is lol. I always assumed they were like a lot of online stores that only did clothes suitable for the smaller frame. They have quite few nice bits on there so there will hopefully be more clothes hauls in the future. I may even start doing OOTDs, something I've always wanted to do but always been a bit wary of.

Accessories haul - Primark & New Look

Hey dolls,

 

I went out for the day with my bestie Kim to good old Westfield shopping centre. I was only intending on having  a girly lunch, but you know what us women are like when we go out lol.

I was having a peruse round the shops, but I was good and only spent a little on a few accessories.

I was never really into accessorising, but in the last few months I've found my flare for accessories (does that make sense?!) haha

I'd never been into ear cuffs before but since buying these I've become a big fan.

Been looking for a pair of hoops for ages and these caught my eye instantly.

Gold hoops - £1

Gunmetal cross earrings - £1

Scarves! Scarves! Scarves!

Hey dolls,

I have been loving scarves at the moment. For fashion and hair accessory purposes. As it's summer right now and I ain't about having my hair down, I've been using the top 2 as hair ties and all 3 as fashion accessories to spruce up an outfit.

All of these scarves are from my beloved Avon.

Top to Bottom:

Abbie Scarf - £3.99

(woven scarf with pink, blue and grey floral print). The floral print kinda has a Japanese vibe to me.

Kaitlin scarf - £3.99

 A red scarf with white butterfly and heart print.

Paisley Scarf - £6

Rose pink scarf with a paisley print.

Evans mini shoe haul

Hey dolls,

So one was in need of some new shoes. and I was having a little look see on the Evans website. They're the only place I buy shoes. So I made a cheeky little purchase. I bought some other items but their not suitable to post online haha.

Evans Black Bow Detail Wedge Shoes - £25

I fell in love with these shoes on when I saw them. I don't tend to wear anything with a heel on cos I'm 5ft 8' so when I wear heels I look like an amazonian giant haha. But I love these too much to care.

Evans Black Structured Bow Ballerina - £19.50

 I got these cos I needed a new pair of flats. The leather on the soles are so soft and so comfortable.

I dunno what happened to the right foot of the ballet flats. Its all out of shape and I havent even worn them yet. :/ I might take them into Evans to see if can get a replacement foot (a replacement foot...what???) or more sensibly a replacement pair. Oh goodness haha.

S xxxxx
