What a weekend! The British Plus Size Awards happened on Saturday night and thanks to you guys I was shortlisted in the Best New Blog Category. Even better… thanks to you guys… I WON…..
YES!
I WON!
I am officially the winner of the British Plus Size Awards 2014 Best New Blog
I seriously cannot thank everyone who voted for me enough. The messages of support I received before and after the awards is amazing. From friend, family, blogger babes and just people wishing me good luck that reads the blog or follow my social media. I won’t harp on… you know the journey I’ve been on and why the plus-size community is so important. Self-acceptance and loving yourself for who you are is the strongest and most important thing you can give yourself. So do it now… look in the mirror and realise you are ok… you are more than ok… you are bloody amazing.
I thought I’d give you a brief recap of the night along with some not bad iPhone snaps taken throughout the evening. Firstly, let’s discuss my dress. It’s from Lovedrobe at Simply Be. It’s very rare that something looks better in real life than on the computer screen, but this dress was amazing. Not only did it get some lovely comments but I felt really great wearing it. It was comfortable but pretty. Sometimes hard to get the two together in the plus size world. I did have to size up x2. If you go for anything Lovedrobe I would definitely say size up by 1. The shoes were from Simply Be and I have to say are probably the most comfortable wide fit heels I have EVER worn.
At the awards we were greeted with flowing champagne while waiting to be seated and then served up a 3 course meal. The menu was ok. It’s always difficult with set menus because you can’t please everyone but it was nice enough. I was sat at the table with my lovely girls and fellow nominees Lucie and Katie who both looked gorgeous. I was also sitting next to my lovely other half who even donned a suit and tie for the night. Not bad… for the first time in 5 years!
There were lots of great nominees and amazing winners. Great performances and the host, Matt Johnson was brilliant. We were gifted with goody bags and a pretty good evening to be honest with amazing company.
Once again… a huge, mahoosive thank you to everyone that voted for me. You’ve made me a very happy lady!
