Dream homes

I cannot wait for the day when I can afford to buy my own home! Until then though I look for inspiration and ideas.....I came across this beautiful interior for a small apartment on www.freshome.com.








This would be the perfect first apartment for a bachelorette like myself.....I love how crisp and white it is. It looks so open and bright and light and fresh even though its a very small one bed apartment. Having the same floor throughout helps the flow and helps make it look bigger too.
The hints of colour and funky accessories help stop it all looking too bland and clinical.

Lá Feile Pádraig - 17 March

Lá Feile Pádraig - Go n-eírí an bóthar leat!
Wishing all of you a happy St.Patricks Day.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Wishing you all a fun, happy and sunny day! Just enjoy it as best you can!

Best Wishes,
Big Girl

Roll on Summer

Hallo My Lovelies, sorry for the lack of posts over the last few weeks- things have been busy!! I hope you'll forgive me?? Pretty pretty please????

Wasn't Today a lovely sunny Spring day ?? Thank God as I am fed up with the wet and rainy days. Roll on Summer.......and with that inmind, It inspired me to think of dresses for the upcoming Summer! So here are a few dresses which would be gorgeous for the Summer and would do for weddings, communions, confirmations, christenings and those all important date-nights (hopefully)!!
Isn't this a beautiful blue flower creation from the new Inclusive range at H&M. I think this is so gorgeous and would be great for a wedding! The inclusive range is available from sizes 8 to 28 which is great news for us big/real sized girlies.....they have a limited and exclusive range so move fast before its too late!
Next is this delightful summery number from the Forever21+ range which is another exclusive range for us curvy ladies. I love the vibrant colour of this and its actually a halter-top dress. It could be dressed up for a date or christening or wedding and yet could be dressed down for a casual lunch or day out!
Another dress from the Forever21+ range. This sexy number would be nice for a hot date or maybe a sophisticated wedding! I like the blue colour and it makes a sexy change from the LBD (little black dress)...the pleats help to disguise any lumps or bumps and the wrap top creates a sexy v-shape!

The ASOS curve range has some beautiful and funky dresses up to a size 26. These three caught my eye.

The multi-coloured sun dress just screams summer at me and again is a dress which can be dressed up or down.
The orange dress just looks so effortlessly sexy but the colour orange which I love can sometimes not suit the Irish skin-tone.
I love, love,love this pink dress. Its a kaftan cut so is loose but fitted (with a belt), covers the arms and is a gorgeous colour. This would be perfect for any special occasion and makes me think of Sex and the City. I can imagine Carrie Bradshaw wearing this dress with a pair of Christian Louboutin sandals....!!!

The best thing, other than the fact that they are finally catering for us larger ladies with funky fashionable clothes, and that the prices are moderate and competitive, is that they are using proper models, real size, plus size, whatever you want to call them! Its just nice to see proper healthy gorgeous models and not sickly thin girls. So cudos to these companies!
