Well November is drawing to a close, and we're getting ready for Christmas, but first I have to share with you Yours' stunning plus size customers and bloggers wearing our items!

Our red and black dress has proved popular, with Miria and Nadia both rocking it! Miria has also teamed the dress with our studded belt and studded tights. Amazing!

Here is the beautifully named Jascent wearing one of our summer maxis - how fabulous? Alongside blogger Joanna, who wears our summer cropped denim jacket perfectly.

Karina looks fashionably casual in our Minnie Mouse t-shirt, and the lovely Lesley looking absolutely FABULOUS in our elegant purple jeweled maxi dress, that's still available in some sizes! 

Looking beautifully feminine and elegant is Lynne and Megan, featuring a tribal patterned skirt available from last year, and this summer's rose pink floral maxi - still available in sizes 18 and 24, at a reduced price of £19.

Miria and Nadia return! Nadia on the right wears one of our popular, colourful tunics from earlier this year, and Miria looks hot to trot in her military jacket!

Australia blogger Natalie shows off her laid back summer style with the help of our crochet top - and how cute is her dog, Miffy? As well as that, the lovely Odelia looks wonderful in our purple floral maxi and matching shrug.

Rachel looks like a curvy superstar in our animal print chiffon maxi, doesn't she? Good work, girl! And Sam from Lips, Hips and Fatshion Tips always dresses up a treat - her Yours faux leather bomber from last winter is perfect for her autumn kitsch outfit.

That's all for this month folks! Will you be wearing Yours Clothing over the Christmas party period? If you are, don't forget to tweet or facebook your photos to be featured on our blog! Can't wait to see your fabulous outfits... 

Lots of love,

Style Inspiration: October!

Hey everyone! How are you all?

We've had some wonderful additions from our customers, bloggers and fans this month. We're so lucky to have such stylish women in our clothes! Let's take a look, shall we?

First up is the awesome Brittney of Born In Sequins, breaking all the rules and looking fabulous, with the help of our sequin blazer! 

Gina from Fat Fit Fine rocks one of our blazers, and Jenna from Inbetween Fashion looks adorable in our purple velvet shrug!

And here's Jo wearing one of our summer maxis and our babydoll dress. Isn't her hair amazing?

Joanna from Just Joanna has an effortless bohemian chic look going on with our palazzo trousers, while Kamila goes for a cute retro look - love the sash, Kamila!

Laura from What Laura Loves rocks our printed maxi dress on a night out!

Lovely Letilor dresses up with our sparkly red shrug from last Christmas, and the gorgeous Miria of Plus Kawaii looks just great with our floral tunic.

I love Nadia from My Stylish Life's inventiveness in this outfit - our black sparkly shrug really makes it unique! Natalie from Fat And Fancy looks great for every day with our red checked shirt and jeans!

Sam from Stiletto Siren looks amazing in her edgy shorts paired with our sequin tux! I also really enjoy Sefi's dressed down style - who doesn't love a bit of Mickey and Minnie Mouse?

Valerie of Blog to be Alive goes for an on trend look with a metallic jumper teamed with our leather-look skirt from last year! And finally Zamzarina works our crochet maxi dress and military shrug to perfection in a model competition!

Hope you've enjoyed these looks and gotten a little inspiration from them! If you have a photo of yourself in Yours that you'd like to share, you can tweet us a photo or upload one to our facebook page - can't wait to see your outfits!

THE Autumn trend: Colour Blocking!

Hello sweethearts, how is October keeping you? It's been a bumper few weeks for us, with dozens of new items added the store every day.

As well as our ever-popular military look, we've decided to bring you one of this year's biggest and most popular trends: colour blocking. It's been all over the catwalks, from acid brights to autumnal hues. Here are some of my favourite spring/summer runway looks:

Aren't they great? I am a huge fan of colour blocking, and there hasn't been much on offer for plus size women. But that's all changed!

Clockwise from top left: Navy Colour Block Top; Navy Sleeved Colour Block Top; Black & Red Colour Block Top; Black Colour Block Top; Multi Block Colour Tunic

It's taking me a lot of willpower not to snap these up at once - though it wouldn't cost that much even if I do, the prices are incredible! 4 out of 4 under £15? Yes, please!

All of these tunics would look amazing with thick opaque tights, or leggings and heels. Plain black leggings or you can even mix and match with our colour options! How will you wear yours?

Lots of love,

Lauren xx

Style Inspiration - September

Hello you lovely people! Well, there have been some fabulous outfits from you this month and I've been looking forward to sharing them with you on the blog! What do you think?

First up is Becky, who looks great in our stripe t-shirt from earlier this year.

Carmen looks cute as a button in her paisley dress and cardigan.

Charlotte always looks great, and she balances her sugar sweet outfit with our edgy studded tights.

Charlotte also looks fabulous in our grey military dress. What a cutie!

Dawn's daughter wore our blue maxi dress for a wedding and is simply stunning.

La Diva delle Curve goes for a dressed down look in our pirate shorts but still appears fabulous!

Elina and Taisija are huge fans of yours, whether it's our tribal print jumpsuit and maxi...

...Or our casual t-shirts and jeggings!

This is such a lovely photo of Karen! She's wearing our peacock maxi dress, and customised some pretty straps, too!

Nadia always looks adorable and she does it again with the help of our jeggings.

Rosie pulls off a kitsch indie vibe with our white lace tunic, I think she looks super!

And finally, here is Sefi in full on glamourpuss mode. How fabulous does she look in our black evening dress? Wow!

Which look is your favourite? Would love to hear your thoughts. And if you have any photos of yourself in Yours Clothing, send them to us via facebook or twitter, and you can be featured here on the blog!

An SS12 look for Winter!

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed yesterday's post about our fabulous coats and jackets that are arriving this autumn. Of course, we're still offering you mega bargains on our summer stock, with new reductions and an extra 10% off our high summer sale!

While we're just getting around to autumn and winter, fashion is always a step ahead - the past week all of New York has been on fashion alert, and London Fashion Week begins today, predicting trends for next spring and summer!

That said, I noticed a great outfit in US designer Rebecca Minkoff's spring and summer collection that could be great for now - and luckily, you can get a similar look at Yours! Check it out:

Clockwise from top left: Chocolate Scarf, £6; Floral Tunic, £22; Brown Buckle Cross Body Bag, £12; Aztec Stretch Bracelet, £8; Brown Suedette Lace Wedges, £30 (COMING SOON)

All this alone might leave you a bit chilly, especially when the sun goes down! I reckon it'd look just as good paired with leggings and one of our gorgeous cardigans to keep you wrapped up warm.

Hope you enjoyed this look, and have a fabulous weekend!

Autumn outerwear

Hey guys! How are you? Have you seen we've added EVEN MORE reductions to our sale, with an extra 10% off? Get your bargains while stocks last!

As well as our fabulous summer sale, we haven't ignored your autumn needs now the leaves are falling and there's a chill in the air. And you know what this means... jackets and coats! We have some fab options on the website already available. Here are three of my absolute favourites...

Left to right: Black Fake Fur Hood Parka, £40; Khaki Military Twill Jacket, £35; Shiny Animal Print Trench, £45

All three of these coats are versatile and on trend - the parka has an elasticated waist to cinch you in, and I think the studs on the military jacket are so cool. The animal mac is definitely one for you glamourpusses!

If these three don't tickle your fancy, then here's an exclusive sneak peek as what'll be arriving at Yours throughout September and October, with the aim to keep you stylishly warm. I can't WAIT!

What do you think of the selection? I have my eye on the cape and fake fur trim coat, definitely! Register your interest on our Coming Soon page so you don't miss out when they become available!

Until next time...
