Black Metallic Cowl Neck Midi Dress | New Look | New Look (UK)

Silver Faux Leather Beaded Strap Stiletto Sandals | New Look | New Look (UK)

This dress deserves a moment. ✨

The asymmetric neckline is still bra-friendly (yes, really!), the ruched faux-wrap detail gives instant tummy confidence, and the velvet hugs all the right places while skimming over everything else.
It’s luxe, flattering, and the kind of dress you don’t forget.

Also comes in black, navy blue and emerald green and every colour is gorgeous.

I’ve linked all colours and my shoes. My earrings you can find on my website at Fiorella Earrings. ✨

M&S Autumn Haul 2025 🍂 | Size 14/16 Try-On
Sharing my latest Marks & Spencer new-in pieces for autumn – cosy cardigans, stylish denim and easy everyday looks that work for a midsize body.

I’m 5ft7 and usually a UK size 14/16, so hopefully this helps if you’re similar!

These outfits are perfect for everyday wear – from school run layers to smart-casual looks you can dress up with boots or down with trainers. I love M&S for affordable staples that still feel chic.

✨ Two ways to wear black sparkle this party season ✨

Both New Look dresses bring the glam, but in totally different ways 👇🏼

🖤 Full Sparkle: All-over diamanté studs that catch every bit of light — flattering, curve-hugging and perfect for those “main character” moments. The stretch velvet fabric smooths beautifully and feels luxe without being heavy.

🖤 Half Sparkle: The shimmer top adds subtle sparkle, while the velvet wrap skirt cinches the waist and drapes softly over curves. It’s comfortable, elegant and a great place to start if you’re working on building your confidence and don’t want to go full sequin just yet.

Both are true to size — I’m wearing a UK 14 and both are perfect for Christmas parties, winter weddings or a glam date night.

Which one’s your vibe: full sparkle or velvet glam? ✨

My go-to hair combo for bouncy, shiny volume 💁🏻‍♀️✨
I use the Color Wow Xtra Large Volumiser for root lift (total hero product!) and finish with Pop & Lock for shine and smoothness.
Styled with the Dyson Airwrap — pricey but worth every penny!
I got mine from Very so I could split the payments 🙌🏼

#LTKxAmazon #LTKbeauty #LTKuk

The new Keeo Genius Pro+ hair straightener is a world first, custom heat + custom tension for your own unique hair 💁🏼‍♀️✨

I’ve got very thick, coarse hair and this glides through without tugging or snagging. It leaves my hair sleek, glossy, and smooth while protecting it from damage.

Straighten, curl or wave, all with one tool 💫

The model shows you the style… but I’ll always show you the fit. And this M&S polka dot dress is proof that confidence comes from the fit, not the label. ✨

It’s always polka dot season!

Had to try this M&S number which also comes in plain black too.

Love the square neckline

#LTKmidsize #LTKautumn #LTKuk

✨ Everyday style, but elevated in seconds!

Starting with my simple jeans + tee base and adding these gorgeous knits to take it from plain to polished.

Both are perfect throw-ons that look effortless but still feel put together 🤍 I like fuss free easy peasy!

#LTKautumn #LTKuk #LTKmidsize

🍒 The cherry dress you need!
• Bra-friendly straps (a win 🙌)

Bootcut jeggings are back 👖 but can they handle real life?
The sit test ✅ comfy!
The mum-life laundry haul ✅ they stay UP!
The wine fridge bend ✅ mission complete 🍷

Verdict: Two thumbs up from me, definitely a wardrobe staple 🙌

#LTKuk #LTKstyletip #LTKmidsize

It’s a faux leather head-to-head 🖤🍷

Team Black: the ultimate wardrobe staple. Sleek, timeless and super versatile. pair it with anything from cosy knits to heels for a polished look. A classic that never fails.

Team Wine: bold, rich, and a little unexpected. Perfect if you still want that flattering faux leather edge but with a softer, autumn-ready vibe. It instantly adds depth and colour to your outfit.

Both work beautifully for a midsize body, the structured faux leather smooths and flatters, while the midi length keeps it wearable and chic at any age ✨

#LTKuk #LTKmidsize #LTKautumn

It’s that tricky time of year when mornings and evenings are cooler but the days are still warm 🍂☀️ I’m slowly starting to put the brights to the back of the wardrobe and reach for those darker, earthier tones.

Saw this dress and thought… yep, that’s the one ✨ Easy to wear, effortless to style, and it still makes you feel amazing 🫶🏼

Really flattering fit too, I wedding a size 14 which was perfect. Style it your way too, I paired with flat sandals and sunnies for now but easily transition with a pair of flat pumps and a cardi too. Even boots and heels! You choose!

#LTKuk #LTKmidsize #LTKautumn

Let’s change the narrative on swim dresses please! I love them, especially for my excursion and activity days on holiday.

I’ve wore them to waterparks and even climbing the Dunns River in Jamaica.

When I’m at waterparks I’m really not in the mood to queue for ages and being conscious of my bum and people looking at me in VERY close proximity sometimes upwards if steps are involved!!

So cue (no pun intended!) the swim dress! Problemo solved! I don’t have to worry shooting out of a chute with my swimwear all up my bum and my boobs falling out 😂 I don’t have to worry about “the time of the month” situ, well I’m ok I’m always worried about that 😂 but this swim dress at least helps with the anxiety of it all!

But best bit is I can walk about feeling confident and free, free to enjoy and live in the moment! Worth every penny I say!

So let’s say yes to the swim dress! 🥰

I’ve tagged a few others for you as I think mine has sold out. Not they all do the same job! Just find a colour or pattern that you feel great in! ☀️

3 dresses and 1 of them made the cut and I took with me on holiday!

3 different dresses but all beautiful and great for us midsize girls.

#LTKuk #LTKmidsize #LTKcurves

The swimsuit that totally surprised me! For first look I wasn’t expecting this one piece to 1. Fit so well and offer fantastic support and 2. Look so effortlessly stylish.

It comes in lots of different colours and u love the halter neck mesh straps which offers comfort and support.

#LTKsummer #LTKmidsize #LTKswimwear

Don’t forget your golden coco and eve glow to make your really shine at golden hour in this ultimate holiday dress

#LTKsummer #LTKcurves #LTKmidsize

The swimsuit that was first on the list to be packed for my holiday. One of my favourites and Pour Moi bestseller! Available in so many different colours and prints. This one has great bum coverage, great tummy control and even strapless is super supportive !

#LTKswimwear #LTKmidsize #LTKsummer

The dress I get asked about every time I wear it 🍋
Floaty, flattering, and made for sunshine, whether you’re heading to Greece, Italy or just want to feel like you are 💛

I’ve paired it with my Fiorella lemon stud earrings for the full citrus goddess vibe 🍋 I actually have my own website of my own earrings! www.fiorellaEarrings.com

I always spy people looking and smiling at my dress, it’s just a happy dress

#LTKmidsize #LTKstyletip #LTKsummer

This swimsuit is from Figleaves and I actually had this exact style years ago. I loved it so much I went searching for it again!
When I saw this bold neon colourway, it was a no-brainer.

It offers great bum coverage (win 🙌🏼), a flattering cut for curves, and just feels fun

Styled again with that trusty lime green sarong and coral sliders…

#LTKmidsize #LTKswimwear #LTKsummer

New day, different swimsuit… but the same confidence 🖤

This Reiss one’s an oldie but still one of my absolute faves, proof that when something fits and flatters, it deserves to stay in your suitcase year after year.

Cupshe cover-up bringing the glam and sparkly Matalan sliders keeping it comfy (and cute) pool & beachside✨

Confidence isn’t about trends, it’s about what makes you feel good. Always..

#LTKsummer #LTKmidsize #LTKswimwear

Separates separates separates!

All new in from Matalan. I love a bit of mix and matching!

#LTKsummer #LTKmidsize #LTKuk

3 new dresses, 1 midsize body and a reminder that the perfect dress is the one that makes YOU feel good.

I tried on these gorgeous new in Matalan dresses on my size 14 body to show you that style has no size, it’s all about how you feel wearing it.

#LTKmidsize #LTKdresses #LTKsummer

Confidence isn’t complicated, wear what feels good.

I styled my polka dot midi skirt with some of my favourite flattering tops, each one easy, comfy, and perfect for real life.

From a simple supportive base to pops of colour and modern tailoring, it really is that simple.

🩷 The square-neck pink top? It’s from Amazon, comes in loads of colours (I’ve got a few already!) and it’s one of my most worn wardrobe staples.

I like fuss free and comfortable for everyday!
