    I’m curvy. I have “mothering hips”, a rather large rump and 32FF boobs. I fit in to a size 12 and then sometimes things still don’t fit (I’m looking at you Topshop/H&M!) When I was a teen, I hit puberty pretty early. In fact, I got my period aged 12 on my third day at High School. True fact. Any male readers, you probably wanna leave now. It was the day I supposedly “became a woman” (LOLZ. Lie. It was the day that it was the start of horrific period pains and illness) but I was only a child and I’d often find myself thinking “why me?” and “why had it happened to me so soon?” but eventually I just had to deal with it. My boobs began to grow but nothing else really did so I was still pretty slim. Bonus. However, since the age of about 18, adult life took over and food was more about convenience rather than calorie counting. I’ve had to learn how to work with my body and it’s ever changing shape.

    I make absolutely no apologies for the photo heavy post here. When you feelin’ good, you feelin’ good. Am I right? And that Saturday morning I was most certainly #werkingit. I’d gone to the effort of blow drying my hair till it was burnt to a singe ready for the Bloggers Brunch event in Leeds that day and I needed to look my best. After all, the blogging Goddess that is Hannah Gale was going to be there too. To complete my ensemble (seeing as the sun was shining gloriously that day too, well for all but 5 minute before I walked out the house) I knew it was time to deck myself out with a little, cheeky bardot top from New Looks Summer range and you can find this little sexual number here. But alas, as I walked to the bus stop (because I’m a super cool, bus wanker at the age of 26) the heavens opened, leaving me questioning my summery get-up.

    I saw something on Facebook the other day that quite frankly, pissed me off. Okay, maybe that is a strong way of explaining my feelings. First it pissed me off, then it made me sad, then it made me question society. All these emotions came from a post that kinda went like this “Omg I’m a size 12 now. I’m so fat!” Whilst I really hope that the person can work on loving her body, it just made me so sad that we are conditioned to believe we should be perfect all the time. Guys, you know what I’m probably at my heaviest (albeit not that heavy at all) and yet I’m still feelin’ sassy with all my perfect imperfections.

    We agreed a time and a place to meet. I was pretty nervous as it was my first time, I wasn’t sure about him. I think he’d done it plenty of times before. When we met he made me feel pretty comfortable and it made everything seem so much easier. As we found a spot, somewhere pretty secluded just on the outskirts of the city centre, he took of his bag and pulled out his impressive piece of camera equipment…

    Unless you live under a rock you’ll know that it’s the BAFTAS this evening. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts award ceremony that celebrates all things gloriously British from the stage and screen. Growing up I longed to be an actress but realized quickly my dream would not emerge victorious so instead studied fashion and textiles in sixth form. I’ve always been in to style and for me the awards ceremony not only catches my eye for the dramatic entertainment but also the magnificent dresses that come with a red carpet appearance too.
