Twenty months ago, I decided to change my attitude, my style and pretty much my life.

I decided to JUST BE ME… and to hell with the opinions and consequences. And you know what? It was the best thing I have ever done. I have had compliments, opportunities, adventures and fun.

I stopped letting life pass me by, and joined in for a change. And what a change it has been.

As previously mentioned, I’ve travelled solo, gone to events, tried new styles, took part in a burlesque workshop, raised money for charity, walked the catwalk, wore a fatkini, blogged my little head off… and I have LOVED every minute of it.

This Saturday will be another step in the continuing adventures of this little short round middle aged woman. I am off to The Curve Fashion Fest, where I have been given the honour and privilege to help launch Lisa Riley’s new clothing collection “Just Be You”

Well, what could be more apt?

Along with some other amazing bloggers, ten of us will be out there, on the Catwalk, showing off the new designs in front of a crown of hundreds at Manchester Central.

Lottie, Sam, Leah, Rosie, Debz, Kat, Sharon, Michaela and Nancy will all be wiggling along the Runway, in some beautiful outfits for Lisa Riley. How exciting is that going to be?

Hayley Hasselhoff, Tess Holliday and Louise O’Reilly will be there too, and with seminars and catwalks and with more than 50 amazing retailers there, it really is going to be quite an event.

If you haven’t already got yourself a ticket, why not treat yourself to a great day out, and come and say hello to us!
