A few of my favourite things … 2

Dedicated to DLP


Dedicated to DLP comes in 3 different formats, there is a blog , a You Tube channel and a Podcast all run by the lovely Steve, with a little help from his friends!

As well as all those resources? You can also find them on Twitter and Facebook as Dedicated to Disneyland Paris. These are the places where you can get involved with the blog/you tube and podcast and share your opinions.  

The blog is a wonderful resource for all DLP related news. Steve updates press releases, rumours, trip reports, reviews, pin releases and basically everything that you could wish for that is DLP related. If your aren’t already then you really should subscribe to this blog if you are a DLP fan! 


An offshoot of the blog is the Dedicated to DLP You Tube Channel. Here, Steve uploads weekly news update videos as well as occasional collaborations with other DLP you tubers. I know that Steve took some vlog footage on his Xmas trip to DLP so as well as the usual trip report updates, I think we will be getting some vlogging coming in the near future. 

Steve has a very positive demeanour, he is very personable and easy to watch so I really enjoy the You Tube element of Dedicated to DLP. He also takes a very honest approach to his reporting and will share rumours, but always makes it clear that they are not official in any way to avoid disappointment.

The final part of dedicated to DLP is the amazing podcast. This is how I found Steve and Mark and continues to be my favourite recorded podcast to listen to. Steve is joined by Mark (@fusemp on Twitter) for most of these podcasts which are a fun and lively chat about the latest DLP news, changes, rumours, updates and anything else DLP related.


If you want to know more about the podcast hosts, this About page is quite informative … 


The interaction between the hosts is amusing as they often disagree on topics. The podcast relies heavily on input from the social media followers too, Steve will often as for feedback/questions/suggestions for shows and they always credit the people who have contacted them. It’s lovely to have a podcast that is so involved in the DLP online community. 

All in all, if you haven’t had a chance to check out dedicated to DLP on any of its platforms, you are missing out. 

Go have a read/watch/listen and let me know what you think!

Lots of Love

Disney Plus Size Wish List – USA edition 

Plus Size Disney clothing in the U.K. Is near impossible to find (unless you want Jammies – but who wants to wear Jammies in public?!) so I am addicted to window shopping the US sites. Forever hoping to catch the 50% off international shipping days!

I thought that you might like to see the items I am lusting after at the moment, let’s start with Torrid.


Minnie Mouse bikini top – Torrid 

Minnie Mouse bikini bottoms – Torrid 


Ariel Dress – Torrid 


Snow White Dress – Torrid 


Miss Piggy Tee – Torrid 


Wicked Sweater – Torrid 


💜 Ursula Dress 💜 – Torrid 


OUAT Regina Dress – Torrid 

Now let’s move on to Hot Topic … 


Lilo Dress – Hot Topic 


Baymax Vest Top – Hot Topic 


Belle Rose Dress – Hot Topic 


Cheshire Cat Dress – Hot Topic 


Villains dress – Hot Topic 


Storm Trooper Dress – Hot Topic 

I think that’s more than enough to give you an idea of what’s available!

Both websites offer 50% off international shipping occasionally, if you are signed up to their mailing list then you will be informed when that offer comes around. Please do be aware that you are likely to be hit with customs charges though – which can be just as much as the 50% you saved on shipping! 

What clothing collections are you loving that are available at the moment? 

Lots of Love

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
