I’m starting pretty early with festive styles, but it’s actually never too early to look festive, right? :) This was a look I had planned to wear in Russia for the evening, but since I had to stay at home, it had to wait until we finally shot it. No real occasion for it yet, but I hope that there’ll be a winter event where I can go out like this. ;)

This dress is part of Scarlett & Jo’s “Couture” range – the dresses are even more elegant and the quality is absolutely impeccable (the fabrics are even more high-quality, which you can especially see and feel when you get this dress in your hands!). The styles are perfect for evening occasions, special parties and events that require a certain dress code, and I can totally recommend getting yourself at least one of them, maybe for the next Christmas party at work or a super festive dinner with your family. The fit is perfect as usual, I’m wearing my normal UK size 16 and it fits like a glove – and creates the most stunning cleavage I’ve ever seen. If you still need a not-so-little black dress, you should try this one for sure!

And yet another stunning dress from Scarlett & Jo! I’m so happy and thankful that – as a brand ambassador – I get the chance to wear and show you so many beautiful dresses! I’m truly a fan and lover of the brand and proud to be one of the faces of S&J because this is a plus-size brand that actually celebrates diversity and femininity, they celebrate all figures and women and create clothing that lets us all shine even brighter than we already do. ;)

I have to prepare this post before the weekend (it’s Thursday now!) because I’ll spend it in London for an epic photo shoot event (well, now that the post is online it’s over already, and I’m sure it was awesome and of course I’ll write about it as soon as possible!) and all I can think of right now is that I’m super excited to meet so many different women of all ages, sizes and heights, and I know that we will all look amazing in S&J. :)

But let’s talk about → this dress now – it’s definitely my favorite of all times (even though I love the 2 in 1 dresses). I’m a huge fan of transparency and this blue mesh layered piece is so, so beautiful! It was pretty windy on that bridge at the harbor where we shot this outfit, so the skirt part is flying a lot, you have to remember that this isn’t the normal look (it got pressed against my body so much that you can even see my catheter and pump tube, haha!), but even like that it looks so lovely. The lower part actually has a loose cut and falls beautifully and flowy, you don’t need to worry that someone will see what you’re wearing underneath. ;)

I promised you → last time that there would be more outfits with this dress coming – here’s my favorite version, because you can see the dress in full bloom (what a pun, haha!) with not too many accessories (but my favorites!). I don’t think there’s much to say. I’m still very much in love with this dress, it’s just perfect. :)
We also already shot the third look I had planned with it and now I’ll have to be creative again if I want to post more looks with it. ;) Can’t wait!

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and I’ve got the perfect dress for those of you who plan to go out for a luxurious romantic dinner for two. :) And by “I’ve got one”, I literally mean that I’ve got one for you, because one of you can win this dress in her size, just in time for Valentine’s Day on Sunday. :)

Like every dress from Scarlett & Jo, this is another perfect curve-hugging dress. Made of soft lace that falls beautifully around the legs (love the fishtail!), it makes your figure look stunning (I’m sure you can all see what I mean!). This time, I went for a UK size 18, just because I wanted it not to be too tight around my hips, and it was a good choice. So if you have wide hips like me, you should consider buying it a size up – or if you’re the happy winner, just tell me the size you need. ;)

Here’s how to win:

1 • like → Scarlett & Jo on Facebook – you can also like my Facebook page → here, but that’s optional. ;)

and 2 • leave a comment here under this blog post (if you don’t comment via Facebook, please make sure to leave your e-mail address, which won’t be visible to everyone, just me – so I can contact you afterwards) telling me what you’d love to do on Valentine’s Day, all that 3 • by tomorrow, Tuesday, February 9 (so the winner can receive the dress by Saturday!)

The winner is Vanessa Myslinski – congrats!
