2017

Hi!

I’ve not been about for a while, I know that last year I had intentions of blogging more and it didn’t happen .. I think I might have even said it the year before as well but life has always got in the way! 

2016 was a pretty shitty year for me in general. I started the year with Barry the Bloodclot in my leg, a potentially life threatening illness which fortunately has now cleared but wasn’t a fun time for anyone while he was with us. sadly towards the end of last year and at the start of this year, I lost some family members who were very dear to me. The past few months have been a dark time because frankly, I’m not someone that deals with death well. 

That combined with work issues and a business which spiralled out of my control for a while made for a pretty hectic year. 

The best thing to come out of 2016 was my wonderful relationship with my amazing Mark. I’m a very lucky girl and can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. 

Moving forward with the year ahead, I have lots of content ideas for my blog so I’m going to ressurect her from the ashes, blow off the dust and start sharing content again. 

 I am passionate about plus size fashion, Disney bounding and cosplay so I’m super excited to start sharing some of my latest finds, ideas on upcycling clothes into Disney fashion, how I outfit plan for trips, some of my fave custom made dress sellers and there may even be a sneaky little collaboration in the works! 

Let me know if you want to see more Disney inspired make up looks … I know I only shared a couple but I do have plenty of ideas for more if that’s something you might want to see? 

I will also have a big post on my Halloween soirée costume as becoming Ursula was a pretty spectacular achievement for me and I had the most incredible night. 

I also have some posts coming up on Disney DIYs, painting projects I’m working on, my ever growing Alice in Wonderland collection and lots more … 

So hopefully you’ll want to stick around and read some of them!

Lots of Love

Swing into Spring

Hello!

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and for that I am incredibly sorry – life has been running away with me somewhat as my little business over at my Queen Ursula Shop has taken off more than I could have possibly imagined and is keeping me VERY busy!

I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I am heading off to Disneyland Paris on Monday for a few days to see the Swing into Spring festival!

Swing into spring

Spring is my absolute favourite time of year at Disneyland Paris. It is so bright, colourful and vibrant in the way that they decorate the park, then add into that the amazing shows, parades and flash mobs and the magic is enhanced tenfold!

This trip will be a little different for me as I am going with my Mummy, Sister and my two beautiful nieces Freya (4) and Evie (1) so this is the first time that I will experience my favourite park through the eyes of a child. I am also staying in the Disneyland Hotel for the first time this trip! I am very excited to experience the luxury of the pink hotel and not having to wander through the village following my nightly glowtini’s in Café Fantasia!

I have been closely following everyone’s Spring trips on social media and they are just making me more and more excited to go – the amount of characters that have been out at the moment is incredible and I’m keen to stand in the Alice corner of the hub for Goofy’s garden party to see my fave characters!

I will also be there for the final day of Star Tours going to Endor! After the 16th March 2016 the Star Tours ride will be being closed for about a year (I think) to be updated to bring it in line with the new Star Wars films.

I have, as usual, meticulously planned my outfits for this trip. I will post up photos when I get back to show you all what I wore! Needless to say one outfit is Star Wars themed!!

There are going to be a lot of people at the parks this time that I know from social media and from meeting in the parks before so I cannot wait to hang out with some really fabulous people!!

Please keep an eye on my social media to see live photos and videos from my trip. I am hoping to utilise Periscope and Snapchat a bit more this trip!

Plus Size Disney UK 

There is never very much available in the UK for the plus size amoungst us, but I am going to try and round up what is available on a monthly basis! 

  
Mickey Sweatshirt – ASOS curve (up to size 28) 

  
Disney Galaxy Print Sweatshirt – ASOS Curve (Up to a size 28)

Everything else was nightwear, which is a total waste of time! I really hope that the UK catches up with the likes of Torrid, Black Milk and Hot Topic and gets us some cool Disney clothes! 

Have you found anything good recently?

Lots of Love

Etsy Store Update! 

As you probably know by now, I have an Etsy store which you can find here

I’ve started adding some more items to my store including custom Disney ears, hand painted shoes, cushion covers and scarves. 

The newest editions are the custom Disney ears and they’ve proved to be pretty popular so far which is super exciting! I have videos of both my Sleeping Beauty and Snow White bespoke ears available to view – just click the name you want to see!   

To order your own pair you just need to buy using the custom design listing on my Etsy (this secures your place in the queue of orders) then I will contact you to get to work on your design. 

I also have two options for painted shoes! For custom painted children’s shoes, select the children’s option. For adult custom painted shoes, select the adult option. Again, purchasing secures your place in the queue, once you have paid I will contact you with design ideas! 

   
I also have some super sparkly custom crystal shoes! I wore mine at DLP and they got a lot of attention as they are so glittery!! You can buy yours here – this price includes the shoes!! 

  
That’s a quick look around what’s available on my Etsy store! I hope you see something you like 

Lots of love
