Bluewater Blogger Meet and Boobies

This Sunday I had the pleasure of going to my first Bloggers meet, I have long wanted to join in these fun filled days but I am usually working!  However, this weekend I wasn't and it would be rude not to attend.

It was a pretty intimate get together as it was Father's Day so a lot of people were doing family stuff but the amazing Anne-Lise from Mookies Life, Leah from Just Me Leah, Abi from A is for Abi and Caroline from Curvy Wordy all made it, as well as Leah's lovely friend Rach.  I had never met any of these ladies bar Mookie before but I can report with all honesty that they are totally lovely, gorgeous people inside and out.

First stop was Evans I didn't see a lot that I wanted but me, Mookie and Leah all had a blast trying on this lovely Scarlet and Jo dress in the sale, like a fat bunch of Charlie's Angels.  Leah's friend Rach made a excellent artistic director directing us for our shots and this was the rock one I think you can tell Leah and Mookie are more authentic rockers than me.

I did try on this rather beautiful dress by Gemma Collins that I am kinda in love with, it is a bit different for me as I usually do quirky rather than glam.

Then after Evans we met Caroline, who I greeted by stating: "You're the booby lady, right?  Can you help me find a bra that pushes my boobs together as there too far apart."  The lovely Caroline took this in her stride and said she would and through her I discovered my boobs are 3 cups sizes larger than I thought as through wearing badly fitting bras a lot of boob was living under my arms! (who knew) and that  I had been putting my bra on all wrong for like 30 years!  Although now getting dressed takes a while longer!

We then all headed for a noisy lunch where we chatted nonsense and generally had a lovely time.  Fair play to all the husbands who met us they managed this brilliantly, then took the pictures at our insistence, whilst we posed and mugged for all we were worth.

After lunch Leah headed off for family matters, Rach and her man went off for a wander, whilst Abi, Mookie, Caroline and I headed to Yours and I finally tried on the Tess dress, as I was feeling left out as every other blogger has tried it.

Thanks to Abi for taking this

After that we headed to Marks' for Bras and Caroline helped me with my bra problems, if you don't read her blog do as this lady is a boob and underwear genius and as predicted the husband was appreciative of the new fit.

We then did ice cream and drinks and it was time to say goodbye for me as I had a busy day the next day, but I can honestly say it was the most fun I had, had in a while and proved to me good company is what makes a day as I only spent £14.00 on a bra but it was the best shopping trip in ages, so if more brands could take note so there is a bit more range we could explore whilst out that would be great.

*sorry for the lack of group shots but I am a bad blogger, but if you look on other people's blogs you might see more pictures.

#PSBloggerLove - Michaela from Cardiffornia Gurl

The lovely Debz of The Not So Secret Diary of a Wannabe Princess inspired by the #Youarefab and all the positive feels that gave people, has organised this brilliant challenge #PSBloggerLove.  As I have been inspired so much by PS Bloggers, feeling they have made me more adventurous in my choices and have helped a renewed love of fashion, I knew I wanted to show my appreciation and was thrilled when I got Cardiffonia Gurl.

I first heard of Michaela's blog when I lived in South Wales and loved the name Cardiffornia Gurl.  I was all excited then about 18 months ago as I didn't know any other psbloggers in Wales and excitedly went to check it out to discover she didn't live in Cardiff any more but London!  But never mind it was still a excellent blog.

I think I may have chatted briefly to Michaela at Plus London 3 back in November 2013, if I didn't I remember seeing her as she was wearing a beautiful Anna Scholtz dress in red houndstooth, that I was lusting over with biker boots and a cool beehive.

Although I have never met Michaela, she has made a huge difference to my underwear life.  As after struggling to find a decent strapless bra for years after reading her post on the strapless Wonderbra (a brand I wouldn't have considered as I think of them for thin smaller breasted women)  and seeing how well it supported her in the pictures I went out and bought one a decision I have not regretted and I have worn it to concerts where I may have jumped up and down a bit.

Over the years I think her style has developed and I think of her style now as effortlessly cool wearing beautifully body fitting clothes for night time and lovely fitted trousers and tops for day usually teamed with a lovely jacket.  She is not afraid of a pattern and frankly rocks these Here are some of my favourite outfits posted.

I am quite jealous of her photography as I think it is really crisp and lovely, using different locations I am going to try and bully my photographer (AKA the hub) to go out.  Also what can I say the girl also knows how to strike a pose, something I am still working on myself and I love the variety of poses she does as it really shows off her outfit posts brilliantly.

Finally until writing this and looking at her blog I had never noticed how excellent her tattoos are, especially this little beauty she posted a picture of.

Although Micheala's style is pretty different from mine that is what I love about the Psblogging world, we are all very different women with different styles and being able to read all  these amazing blogs with brilliant style ideas gives me different ideas about how I can dress, style things, shop and generally has given me more confidence in how I look and dress.  For that I will be forever thankful and if I can do that for one other woman than I will be well chuffed.
