Bra Tops from Primark


If there's one thing l hate is wearing a bra with under-wire in it, l remember a time when most bra's didnt have wire in them ,but due to the wonder bra era ,most bra's have wire in them and this makes them a no no in my book ,l usually wear vest with hidden support in them or little bra top .l got great set of two bra from primark for 5 euro, there so comfortable and give me the support l need. I'm only a c cup and dont intent to have wire digging into me all day ,who every created the bra with wire in them is a idiot,they create more problems then they solve.

Washing the laundry in duisburg

Living in shared accommodation  l have to use the laundrette to wash my clothes , as l refuse to pay 74 euro to my flat mates, to buy a new washing machine . This year l  paided 50 euro at the beginning of the year for a second hand washing machine and that washing machine lasted three months before it broke down ,then it got throw out by the  landlord instead of being  fixed, so l decided l'd just go to the wash house instead the pay money for a new machine.

I go once a weekly to the wash house but if l'm going to visit a new city, l'll take my suitcase of dirty clothes with me and go shopping and to the laundrette, it makes sense and kills two birds with one stone.



Unfortuately this time l had to go to laundrette in Duisburg,  as l wanted to see if l could live in this city ,this laundrette was so fucking dirty and unkempt but it was right across from the train station so l had to  grin and bare it . here the pictures to prove how disgusting the place was.

Is size 16 fashion seen as an after thought in uk and europe

I am a UK size 16( american size 12) , 174cm and a size 8/42 in shoes,I feel like I'm just an after thought when it comes to fashion sometimes . Its can be sometime hard to get fashionable clothes in the Netherlands where some women here since to be size 14 UK and under,shopping in Germany is  my saving grace .Shops like H and M only stock a size 14 in the Netherlands but the the UK go up to a size 16. And getting cheap fashionable shoes can be difficult here too , 80  percent of the shoes aren't in size 42(8) , they mostly stop at 40(6) its a fucking pain.
I get fed up of wearing the same shoes over and over again , right now l get my shoes from Manchester ship then to my mum house in Manchester and pick them up when l go home to England. 

One of my favourite shop is c and a ,we use to have C and A when l was a kid but it closed all its stores in the UK when l was in my teens but this shop is a living and kicking in the Netherlands and Germany , you can get great clothes from there.
 My favourite clothes shops are Primark, Asda, C and A and Mark and Spencer when l have a bit of money lol. Please check out these shops if your looking for nice fashionable cheap clothes minus Mark and Spencer its not cheap.



Orange jumper 10 euro in primark

Size 16 fashion C and A fashion





As l get older my clothes get tighter and elastic become my best friend ,Its amazing because when l was a size 12 to 14, l worn jeans and t-shirt 99 percent of the time but now those clothes are to tight .Now l wear skirts and dresses and l loving it. I feel my womanly and dresses and skirts are more comfortable then tight jeans.Its funny really as my mum wear skirt and dresses everyday, as she a size 18/20 and l couldn't understand why, but l know why now,there a big girls best friend.Here's some pictures of my new style people

The dress is from vera moda 21 euros  and the jumper is from  c and a for 15 euros

New Hair ( Crochet Braids) and new classic guitar




Here's my first set of crochet braids the hair i used called Glance Model Model Water Wave , I brought it from pak comestics for £3.49 a pack. I brought 3 packs of hair in 1b and  1 bag in colour 2.I wish I only brought colour 2 as my hair in between 1b/2. Dark brown looks more natural on me.Next time I'll only buy colour 2 and maybe 4/30 as a highlight look. I use 3 and half bags of hair and think its looks very natural ,crocheting easy  but cornrowing your on hair, hard work.The style easy to maintain just get up and go.


My guitar is a classic black with nylon strings from kijk shop in the netherlands it cost me only 49.99 euros ,its my first guitar l'll going to learn via youtube . The black girl from the noisette inspired me to learn.

One thing l like about both girls is the shaved head look ,about 17 years ago l shaved my whole head and l love it, One thing it taught me you don't have to have hair to be feminine and its so easy to maintain . No hair products  just wash and go.I'm thinking of shaving  one side of my head here's a few pictures of some girls who look sexy with the shved head look.
