Curvy Couture Roadshow: Runway Three

The third runway of the Curvy Couture Roadshow featured lingerie and vintage and retro inspired designers. I'm not going to lie, watching these runways made we want to re-define my entire style, I loved the sexy yet demure vintage looks!

Sonsee

I can't wait to get my hands on some of Sonsee's super stretchy hosifrey. I wear a lot of outfits featuring stockings (primarily because I'm decidedly unco and fall over a lot.  That and I love short outfits- stockings give me the confidence to rock them without crutch flashing!) and know these beauties are going to become firm wardrobe favourites!

Miss Scarlett Did It

I loved the look of Miss Scarlett Did It's gorgeous lingerie. Having a perfectly fitting bra makes such a difference to the fit of an outfit- and when that bra is also pretty, well, it makes for outfit perfection! The cute little accents, sheer panels and bows made for ultra fabulous pieces! I loved them! Plus, the models did such an amazing job showing them off, I was proud to see those beautiful plus-size women owning the runway!

The Professor's Daughter

Polkadots, stripes and bold colours! I die! I was ready to leap out of my seat and throw my credit card at their feet! I couldn't get enough of the pretty, polished pieces. I even adore the name, The Professor's Daughter straight away put me in the mind of the classic 1940's fashions, bold and feminine. Those gorgeous swing jackets are calling my name- Love! 

Bombshell Vintage

Bombshell Vintage showed some truly gorgeous pieces. That hounds tooth jackets and that sequin dress litterally awed the crowd, I heard almost every voice these raised in 'oohhs' and 'ahhs'! It was a lovely way to finish the third runway- classic and beautiful!

Curvy Couture Roadshow: What I wore

Hopefully by now you've already seen some of the awesome photos from the Curvy Couture Roadshow runway, so I figure I'll break it up a little and add my outfit in the middle! I wanted to have a look with a bit of edge as well as cuteness. But really, I started this look from the shoes up! I picked up these killer white flatforms in the Betts sales and I'd been waiting for a special occasion to rock them!

Dress: old stock ASOS Curve

Jacket: 17 Sundays

Tights: We Love Colors

Flatforms: Betts

Clutch: BooHoo

So it was the shoes and this amazing jacket. Seriously. Then the rest of this outfit just fell together. I've been getting some serious mileage out of this 17 Sundays jacket, its so easy to style up or down and its incredibly comfy.

I was acutely aware of what I was putting in my handbag with this clear clutch. You know how they say your eyes are the window to your soul? Well they were wrong, a clear handbag is the window to a women's soul! I repacked and changed my handbag contents several times before I felt that it was suitable public viewing. And ended up stashing my tampons in Sugers bag! HA!

I love this last photo that Nat snapped of Suger and I getting out photos! :-D

Curvy Couture Roadshow: Runway Two

Back for more? Awesome! Runway two was my favourite because I already feel emotionally involved and quite attached to the brands. Its amazing seeing a company begin as an idea and then flourish into this amazing influence. I remember one of the designers from 17 Sundays said how awesome she feels when she sees someone out and about, randomly wearing her brand. Its silly, but I feel the same! When I see a babe proudly rocking her Harlow, 17, Embody Denim or Christina K, I want to go over and tell her how totally rad I think she is! So, to say I was excited about this line-up would be an understatement!

17 Sundays

17 Sundays exploded onto the runway and captured the crowd with their rock and roll vibe. 17 speak straight to my grungey core- cut-outs, leather look pieces and oversized tees baby! These guys SMASHED IT! I actually ended up wearing this rocking jacket as part of my outfit on the day and seriously, the amount of compliments I got on it was crazy!

Harlow

I was super excited to see Harlow on the runway. They have some really gorgeous and versatile pieces and, as you can see from the photos, they are absolutely rocking! I love the long-line tops and the sheer panels. They have a really feminine-rock feel to them even with florals and wrap dresses- love!

Embody Denim

To have a brand that is dedicated to amazing plus-size denim, rocks my world. I've said it before, but having the perfect fitting denim is like wardrobe magic. Embody Denim kicked it off with the gorgeous Laura Wells smokin' up the runway and I could hear the collective sigh of awesome from around the room. It was a bit disappointing to see they chose models different from everyone else's runway, but nonetheless, amazing clothes!

Christine Kardashian

I love Christine Kardashian. Seriously. These flowy and yet sophisticated cuts are pure glamour. Unfortunately, as an in-betweeny brand catering to sizes 12-18, nothing fits me. I'd kill to get into those jackets and cape sleeve blouses. And I told Christine the same! Hopefully she expands her collection in the future and until then, I'll dream. 

Next up runway three!
