My style, Yours style!

Hi everyone, hope you've had a fabulous weekend? And have you seen our latest development? Rather than pay extra for postage to return unwanted items, you can now pre-pay £1.49 to return your items via Collect+!

As well as that piece of good news, there have been some wonderful new clothing additions on site and in store. It doesn't happen to me often, but every now and again I see something new on site and have to buy it immediately. Last week, I snapped up this 60's inspired red and black dress and this week I thought I'd model it for you, even if I do look slightly grumpy!



This is a fab little dress or tunic! It's a comfortable, fluid jersey material. It also runs quite large and because of the stretch, it would work a size down from your usual. The dress has large armholes, which is great for those of you with large bosoms! I noticed the skinny leather belt was too big, so I used my own waist belt instead which works just as well. As I'm short (5'1"), I wear this as a dress with opaque black tights, however this would look just as good with leggings and boots on you taller ladies. This is a great blank canvas for your accessories and though it sounds like a cliché, it's an item that really can work for any occasion.

If you fancy something a little less traffic stopping, we have a black version with a red trim, which is also incredibly sweet. And who knows? There may be other colour options appearing... watch this space!

Celebrity Look: Kimberley Walsh

Hello lovelies, how are you all? Are you guys in the UK enjoying our half price next day delivery offer? I took advantage of it on this beautiful dress!

The ladies of Girls Aloud always tick fashion's boxes every time they go out, don't they? Last night Nicola Roberts, Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh graced the red carpet for the Pride of Britain awards. Nicola and Cheryl both opted for sugared pink gowns, but I loved Kimberley's dramatic black lace number. And guess what? It's eerily similar to one of Yours' brand new evening gowns! So not only can you get Kimberley's look in sizes up to 32, but at a purse-friendly price!



Isn't it stunning? If you have any seriously glamorous ceremonies coming up, then this is the perfect outfit for you!

Plus size versions of SS12 fashion - already!

Hey my lovelies! Still super happy with this beautiful weather we're having in the UK! And is it payday for anyone else? We've got free UK standard delivery on orders over £50 with the code "delfree" this weekend as a little treat for you. But what to buy? Well, I've got some inspiration for you...

If you've been keeping up on fashion news, you'll know September is one of the most important months in the calendar! With New York, London, Milan and Paris all showcasing the hottest trends and looks for next summer, I figured why wait? Especially when there are some similar items still available in plus sizes here at Yours Clothing! You may remember my Rebecca Minkoff post, but here are even more! Have a peek:


Anna Sui's cute and kitsch retro look makes a feature of a huge bow - we've got a stunning selection of t-shirts with bow motifs for a similar feel!


And if bows aren't your thing, how about showering yourself in hearts instead with this Anna Sui-esque print tunic? Team with statement accessories for an off kilter, fun outfit!


Dolce & Gabbana were all about ladylike florals (and a few vegetables, too!), and the elegant purple blooms can be found on our Limited Collection slinky maxi dress.


Scottish boy wonder Jonathan Saunders is a revelation with his dainty, ladylike designs, and a lucky few of you can grab this lookalike prom dress from our sale - only a few sizes left, so hurry!



And finally, for those of you who love show-stopping brights, our De Stijl inspired tunic has the Barbie pinks and electric blues that are just like Nanette Lepore's neon summer collection!

Well I hope this has been a fun post for you all. I'd love to know your thoughts, and if you have any ideas for content let me know on facebook or twitter! Can't wait to hear from you.

Have a super weekend everyone xx

Gloves, belts and bags - oh my!

Hello everyone! Can you believe the turn our weather has taken? I keep popping out to sit in the sunshine, it's wonderful!

I'm also really excited by the new accessories coming in from Yours' warehouse, and I've picked out my favourites here:


I just adore them all! Chic, ladylike and colourful - what's not to love? The colour pop leather gloves are genuine leather and come in three sizes, so you can be guaranteed a great fit. The studded bow belt is fab, a great bet to give the illusion of a nipped-in waist with your party dresses! The Chanel-esque quilted bag is a timeless classic, with both a comfortable shoulder fit and big enough to hold all your essentials. But my favourite thing about these accessories? The price, of course: everything is only £15 and under! 

I hope you love this selection as much as I do. What will you be purchasing? Let me know on facebook or twitter!
