Sorry for the sound of silence on this Blog, but y'know life and not feeling bloggy. However, I am am back and those who know me or regular readers of this Blog will know I am potty about prints. Give me a quirky print and I am a happy girl. I often have a lust list in my head of what prints I want next, so I thought I would share with you some of my current favourites that are currently making my fat little heart sing.
Usually I go for dresses but I am loving the idea of this Banana crop top and skirt, from Oh My Honey, which I could totally see Paloma Faith rocking. It costs £59.00 and goes from a size 8 to 20 but fellow fatties do not despair there is a custom order on the site which I am taking to mean that they will do larger but alas I cannot find the crop.
The Cat dress is from Mod Cloth and is very high on my lust list at the moment, when finances allow and I feel brave about possible customs charges I believe this will be my new print frock. Those who regularly read this blog will know my favourite ever item of clothing is my Get Cutie Gnome dress as featured in this post, with that in mind who could resist in adding to their collection of Gnomes this cute skirt is also from Mod Cloth and is $59.99.
I am loving the Fox Print on this lovely dress from The Victory Parade by Limb Clothing, unfortunately they only go up a size 20 on the site but do know they have sent me a 22 before so I think maybe they may be up for negotiation but at £99.00 it is an investment piece. If you love prints then this dress is available in loads of fabrics so have a look.
I have included this beautiful Flytrap dress by Deadly Dames at Pin Up Girl Clothing, with more than a nod to Little Shop of Horrors and the punch of the blue against the green I love it, but it is always out of stock! Boo!!!!! However, you can ask to be notified when it is in stock. At $128.00 plus possible customs and shipping it would definitely be an investment for me but if your feeling rich and brave.
Lastly the dinosaur dress is from Vampire Bunnies I know they only list to a 18 but I know I have several custom size dresses that have been made for me by Ellie, I think generally she charges a £5.00 extra for a plus size and a £5.00 extra for straps or to make it longer and I have to say in my dealings with her she has always been a pleasure. Again Ellie carries loads of different fabrics and is approachable to ask about hunting down a fabric.
I have to say this is a highly edited list but if you love a print and want to check out some other great retailers with fabulous prints I cannot recommend Get Cutie and Silly Old Seadog highly enough. Debz from Wannabe Princess has also featured some lovely print skirts from E Bay which are pretty reasonable and Betty Pamper has featured a brand called Little Wicked's Emporium which does some lovely prints. Although Collectif, Lady V London and Hell Bunny are more retro I have seen some amazing prints by them, one of which I will feature as a OOTD soon.
If there are any brands you know that I might love especially if they feature prints not in a 50's retro way, let me know as I am always hungry for prints.

ModCloth Stylish Surprise.
As I have said before I have lusted after a lot of the clothes on ModCloth for a long while but I am always wary as it is US based and I am afraid of the postage and the dreaded customs. So when I heard that ModCloth a couple of times a year have a big sale selling their stock from $5.00 to $20.00 depending on what you are getting I was in. The catch is you don't know what you are getting so for $20.00 you get a dress that originally retailed between $30.00 or $299.00, a bit like fashion lucky dip. As I figured it could be sold on, that $20.00 is like around £13.50 and that I like a surprise I was in.
The only problem was I was bang in between sizes so I ordered a 2XL and a 3XL, which at $40.00 meant I incurred a hefty £13.44 customs charge, a rookie error and if I do this again I will order the dresses separately as the postage is less than customs.
So what did I get for my $40.00 I got a beautiful blue and green dress in the 2XL and a really pretty purple dress which Katt Cupcake also received in the 3XL which unfortunately I didn't have the boobs to fill out so it has been moved on to a better home.
The dress is really lovely in a sort of moleskin/velvet and has an exposed brass zip with a lovely angel wing as the zipper, being a bad blogger I have not got a photo of this. I have gone for a vaguely 90's styling crossed with school girl chic on this dress as it reminds me of dresses from that period and catholic school girl plaid.
And my Janine Basil Solar system headband.
I also wore my Urban Decay Catfight lipstick but it had worn off a bit by the time I took these pictures and my Dolly Cool Virgin Mary Kitty necklace.
Some other lovely bloggers also got the Stylish Surprise and are posting today so share the love and have a look at what they got.

PS International Wish List - Mod Cloth
When Debs from Wannabee Princess suggested an Plus sized International Wish List of what we would have spent in an International Store if customs and expensive postage were not prohibitive, it was a no brainer it had to be Mod Cloth! A brand I have lusted after and idled away many an afternoon looking at their beautiful clothes and homeware too.
I am just about to pop my Mod Cloth Cherry as I have ordered their stylish surprise (but more of that in a later blog) but until then here is my lust list.
I am just about to pop my Mod Cloth Cherry as I have ordered their stylish surprise (but more of that in a later blog) but until then here is my lust list.
I spend a lot of time at work in my jeans and what could be more perfect to team my jeans with than a navy tee with a dipped hem, with oh a space cat in a stylish wig on the front. How could T shirts get better than this.
I may have mentioned I am all about the prints and this dress is just amazing with it's Grand Canyon style print complete with Cactus', prints like this are one of the things I adore about Mod Cloth.
Still all about those prints and hooked on my favourite animals, regular readers will know I have a love of my life a rather elderly Staff X Lab called Madame Beyonce, who I think would approve of this print.
As I have spoken about before I am a huge fan of the 60's and this dress makes me want to put my hair in a beehive (well if i had hair) pop on eyeliner and a pale lippie and dance around my front room to some old tunes.
Novel Tee In Madeline $29.99http://www.modcloth.com/shop/graphic-tees/novel-tee-in-madeline
There are quite a lot of these Novel Tee's on Mod Cloth of classic Novels and I love them all, but this is my favourite one of Madeline, the story of little red head living in at a boarding school with eleven other girls.
Blossom and Found Dress $104.99
There are a lot of these beautiful party dresses on Mod Cloth and I think this one as well as being stunning and having a Black Swan vibe about it (or that might just be me) really shows that diversity in sizes can be done as it runs from a tiny US size 2 to a curvaceous US size 26, UK manufactures take note.
I have wanted a fatkini for a while and I love this one at $89.99 if this was translated into pounds I think it would be a bit over what I would want to pay, but hey it's a wish list right?
Finally I really like these dresses that are made to look like a Tee and skirt combo and this one makes my heart sing a joyful song with it's stripy top and French Bulldog in a Beret, picture perfection I tell you.
So that is my list it could have gone on and on as there is loads of choice over 1400 items in their plus sizes, which made me feel like a fat girl in a department store and I didn't touch on homeware, accessories or shoes all of which have loads of lovely things. Please Mod Cloth make this fattie happy and open a UK store.
I can't wait to see what all the other bloggers have chosen and please show the low by clicky, clicky on the linkies bellow.
