team colours.
My boyfriend + I have a tradition. Whenever we DJ together, we wear our team outfit. It’s the rules. We thought about wearing a different t-shirt this weekend when we ran our club night, Dancing On My Own, but correctly decided to stick to the winning formula of YOLO donut t-shirt and yellow hoodie. This blog isn’t really a place I do day-to-day personal stuff but this seems as good a time as any to name Dennis as an amazing teammate / co-pilot / collaborator / partner in lots of things. It’s an honour to be a kickass team with him.
Also! I DIY-dyed my hair and I *love* the new colour! May I recommend Directions dye in Turquoise.

When we DJ at our club night, I do so much vigorous dancing to the bangin’ tunes we play that I get super warm. Every time, I’ve needed to take my top off to cool down, so this time I made my bra part of my outfit. When it got too hot to handle, I stripped down to my AMAZING new Cult of California galaxy-print sports bra!
I feel lobster + galaxy bra = one of my better style ideas…
amazing technicolour.
I love this jacket. I don’t wear it as often as I’d like because it’s pretty darn difficult to pair with things, but I thought my black ASOS cold shoulder dress was a good bet. Black dress + rainbow jacket seems like the perfect canvas for black lobster with rainbow gems…

matchy-matchy.
I’ve been excited about this outfit for a couple of weeks but only wore it for the first time this weekend. How does Simply Be get it so right? This matching top + trouser situation is just perfect for a flamboyant soul like me, not to mention when paired with ~lobster of dreams~.

Oh! And I was heavily quoted in a feature on fatshion in this weekend’s Sunday Times Style magazine, but to my surprise they also included an image from the upcoming Clements Ribeiro Swan campaign! How exciting is that?!
Oh, and if you’re in roughly the right time zone and want to listen to me talking about fat shame and fat pride, I’ll be on BBC Women’s Hour at between 10 and 11am tomorrow.
spring has sprung.
Obviously the lobster came out again yesterday. I feel you’ll probably be seeing a lot of lobster in these parts (especially when the Clements Ribeiro Swan collection is released…). Yesterday I wore it with a cute swing dress I got for a very reasonable £12.50 in the ASOS sale. If you’re thinking of buying this dress DO NOT SIZE UP (like I did) as it’s not clingy at all. It’s a really good length for me and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in terms of something super cute and easy to wear in pleasant spring weather.

rock lobster.
The sun came out yesterday, which coincided perfectly with the acquisition of my necklace of dreams. I’ve wanted the giant DISCO LOBSTER necklace from Tatty Devine since they invented it, and I never thought I would own it. But my time has come! Possibly the happiest day of my life? In 24 hours I had endless compliments on it, sometimes from complete strangers. I feel as if it’s me, distilled into jewellery form.
