Officially in love...

Hands up if you are in love with Monty the Penguin! *Raises hands and jumps around* Not seen it? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? This brought a tear to my eye and made me feel so Christmassy, I love it! Monty finding his true love is perfect, what a brilliant advert! Congratulations John Lewis, and hats off to Adam&Eve/DDB for producing such a corker! Tom Odell also had an impact on me falling in love with this, what a beautiful cover of John Lennon's Real Love. Mwah Tom, you little beauty. (Side note: Go and see Tom if you can, suchhh a good act live!) So after going to MK yesterday and heading to John Lewis in search of a soft toy version of Monty I was greeted with empty shelves - HEARTBROKEN! The advert has taken off to much that they had sold out in a matter of hours! But... Today my fabulous friend James got me a present, so here is Monty (the cat) with Mabel (the penguin)  Real Love.

I'm curvy, and I like it...

Ello ello. Gawddd, it's been far too long but I am back! A lot has happened recently and I have been a very busy bee, but I have now got a bit more time on my hands so back to blogging! I am now another year older and a hell of a lot wiser... Now... first things first I am back to my old rant about retail pressure on female sizes. You must have heard or seen THAT tweet about the Topshop mannequin... no? Take a look here . Oh the power of social media :D How on earth Topshop can get away with that baffles me...! I am a curvy lady, there is no hiding that, and I love it! I don't understand why those in retail cannot embrace that the average size in the UK is a 16! Marketing and advertising for this is as much to blame as well, using skinny models to act as "Role Models" and "inspiration"...  COME ON PEOPLE embrace the curves! Rant over :) I'll be back again soon, so tune in next time folks! Lets get social! Get  tweeting  or  LinkedIn
