I'm a #ChloeJeansGirl - Simply Be Denim

If you follow me on any of the various Social Mediums I spread myself liberally across you will be aware that February was an extremely exciting month for me.

Simply Be Denim

I, along with six other lovely bloggers, was invited by Simply Be to film for their #SBDenim campaign in Manchester. WHAT A DAY! We frolicked about, laughed, danced (badly in my case), jumped (terribly in my case) and had just a generally fab time in front of the cameras.

We also made a video each, talking about our jean of choice - I want you all to know here and now, that I have realised that turning and winking is NOT for me. It has been a tough lesson but the noise my Husband makes whenever he sees it is enough to put me off this "signature move" for life. I'm working on a casual "pow pow pow" hand signal in it's place. I'll feedback on how it's going...


I became the Chloe Jean Girl which was perfect for me as (in my humble, modest opinion...) they made my legs and bum look freaking awesome.

I'm wore a 14 on the day, I'm generally a 16 in jeans but the stretch in these meant that I made the decision to size down in order to prevent any bagging around the knees. SAYING THIS, the Chloe jeans keep their shape perfectly so I needn't have worried either way. These are the Dark indigo but I also have the Spring Blue pair which look awesome with a darker top and sandals.

At 6 foot, the long length (31") jeans were plenty long enough, even with heels So if it's tall jeans you're after: Chloe is the gal for you.

To tie in with the launch of their range, Simply Be are running a giveaway to win a pair of your favourite style, so if you're a super skinny kinda chick like me - All you have to do is tweet with the hashtag #chloejeansgirl to enter.


The day was just fabulous, Simply Be are always the most loving and supportive hosts, Charlotte and Sarah went above and beyond to make sure that the day was a success. The team at Plan Pictures were an absolute delight to be around, they're total superstars. Most importantly, as I'm sure you'll realise from the pictures, the six other ladies are the most kooky, interesting, beautiful and fun people to be around. I am very, very lucky indeed.

I must say, the support that all the ladies and I received during and after the day has been absolutely phenomenal and I can't explain how much it means, so from the bottom of my stone cold heart - Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Snazzy 70s with M&S

I'm 31 now so I'm wearing clothes that are grown up and understated. Oh no hang on I'm not because I'm not convinced I'll ever actually be a grown up and nobody really needs to be a grown up right?!? This paisley shirt dress is from the Marks and Spencer Limited Edition range and I am over the moon with it. 

Paisley Print Shirt Dress:  Marks and Spencer Limited Edition
Coat: River Island (No longer available)
Boots: New Look (No longer available)

I've always been loyal to the Limited Edition range, it is generally super on trend and incredibly well made (Being M&S and all). The most recent launch is no different - If I was five inches shorter, I'd have happily spent my entire disposable income on it, sadly the dress below was the longest of the range and the only item that covered my gusset...


On the hanger the dress looked pretty shapeless and I thought it would be one of those dresses that you buy oversized and wear over leggings. HOWEVER, I tried it on in the 16 and it goes in perfectly at the waist, plus the hidden buttons mid way between the outside buttons (stick with me) stop me flashing any of my parts. This all means I can wear it over tights and feel thoroughly fabulous both dressed up and dressed down.


I'm wearing it here with a 2014 January sale find coat from River Island (Size 18 - It happens occasionally on the high street) and my New Look ankle boots which I desperately need to replace as they're entirely coming from together.


I'm going to leave you here with a picture of Catalina Winemixer the Bin kitten, she refuses to look at the camera because she's going through a "phase"... Also, she thinks the dress is a bit gaudy...What does she know, she lived in a bin...
