BOOBS!
Greetings all.
This evenings post is more serious than what I usually post about but it is a topic that I find close the heart... literally!
So it is no secret that I am the (sometimes not so) proud owner of a very large set of boobs, some might not get the point of this post and might think I should 'count myself lucky' which I really would if there wasn't so many vile creeps in this world ruining it for me... and the thousands of other big busted ladies on this planet. This post is aimed at two lots of people, firstly the creepy vile men who can't keep their mouths shut and their disgusting thoughts to themselves when they see a pair of boobs, and secondly for any other ladies who feel exactly like me, and have a pair who haven't seen sunlight for months because they are sick and tired of the comments they attract.
The reason I have been spurred to write this post is because of 2 recent incidents that have happened to me over the past couple of weeks, one was being heckled in the street, in broad day light, whilst I was on my own and there were families about, "CORR DO YOU WANT A HAND WITH THOSE LOVE" as I was on my way to what turned out to be a 'pissed off & embarrassed' Nandos instead of a cheeky one. The second one was last weekend as I was on the last train home from a night out in town, as soon as I've had a drink my bladder turns into one of an 80 year old so I was making my way to the train loo as I reached the toilet there was a man of around mid 30's sitting there and as I passed him he muttered 'alright there boobs', now I was pissed and I needed one so I just told him to 'do one' and went to the loo. As I emerged he continues to make vile comments about my boobs and I've really had enough by now so I tell him to F off and stop saying these things to me. Little to this creatures knowledge (and much to my pleasure) my boyfriend and our best mate were just a few seats down and could hear me, so the story ended with the creep being forced off at the next platform by them and being called all names under the sun, and I hope - him being made to feel extremely ashamed of himself.
Now two things got me from this incident, one was that that man thought I was on my own, a 20 year old girl on her own on a train late at night and he decided to say those things to me, what if I was a different girl on her own, what could of happened then?
The second thing that got me was that I wasn't even surprised... Just angry, if you are a busty lady like myself then you will definitely know what I am talking about, and why we have to rethink our outfits wherever we are going and why our boobs are paler than any part of our body!!! WE ARE USED TO IT. How disgusting is that? Ever since I can remember having big boobs I can remember having all sorts of comments thrown at me, one of the worst being 'Look at the C****S on her chest!' Including men in clubs thinking they can just grab? And what I realised was that I have become so immune to it that it took this last incident and my boyfriend and Jake talking to me to make me realise that it's not something I should accept to be normal. I shouldn't have to stop wearing what I want to wear because vile men can't keep their disgusting thoughts to themselves. Instead we should be constantly teaching our sons, brothers, cousins, friends and everyone RESPECT. Why should women be made to feel ashamed of our bodies which are all beautiful no matter what size or shape, and being made to cover up because we are worried about what a man with no self control might or might not say to us. We shouldn't. And that's why I will continue to wear what I want and encourage women to do the same.
Peace,
Lillia

Holiday Haul ft Asos, PLT and Boohoo.
Hey guys!
So i'm off on my holidays in under a month so I decided to treat myself to some bits from Asos and Pretty Little Thing.
So from Asos I bought the ASOS FLAT TOP CAT EYE SUNGLASSES which I absolutely love! Love the nude colour and how big they are, perfect to cover up my face during the day when I am makeup less.. haha
I also for the first time ever risked buying a bikini top online and the only reason I am posting a picture with it on is because I am sooo happy with it! This is the ASOS CURVE MIX & MATCH BANDEAU BIKINI TOP It's been such a long time since I have had one that fits so well and makes me feel comfortable in. Also I think I could get away with wearing it during the day as a bra-let type top with some shorts or a skirt shown below. So any girls reading this who are blessed/cursed with big boobs then I highly recommend Asos' bigger bikini top range!
My third buy is the BOOHOO WARP ASYMMETRIC WRAP SKIRT which I found on Asos, it was so cheap and I love the wrap over style that's in at the minute, and the colour is so nice and summery, great to wear in the evenings.
This was my first time buying from Pretty Little Thing, and I was impressed with their range and the prices! The only thing that was disappointing was that I had 2 extra items that never arrived but instead a note was sent saying they couldn't be processed and I will get refunded the price - a little confused as they were available on the website to buy when I did but Oh well.
I bought the GINEVIA CAMEL SLINKY WRAP FRONT TOP which again was a bargain at £8.00, I think this is a great evening piece and the neutral camel colour allows me to wear with virtually any thing.
My second purchase from PLT is this gorgeous IVANA CAMEL DRAPE MIDI SKIRT I really like this skirt as I think its so versatile to wear both during the day and in the evening due to the colour, style and length. I think this is my favourite item. This also comes in a variety of other colours and I think it will be hard for me not to buy them all....
The last item I bought again from PLT was the CECILE CREAM SLEEVELESS CHIFFON TOP which also comes in a variety of colours such as black nude and yellow. I like the versatility of this top again because I will be wearing this over my bikini and a pair of shorts during the day, but at night I could dress it up with a pair of jeans and heels like below.
Hope you enjoyed my haul! I would definitely recommend trying both of these stores if you already haven't. I hope you guys have a great holiday too if you're going away.
Peace and Love,

THE BEST MAC AND CHEESE EVER
HI GUYS
So last night Jim and I made the best Mac and cheese ever - Well when I mean 'and I' I mean I sat and watched and gave some constructive criticism...
It's basically Mac and cheese but with a fun creative and highly fattening twist, the Latin name to this dish would be 'carb-orus central-ium'.
There's 2 versions to this as I have turned into one of those annoying vegetarians who demand you make a complete separate dish for 😂
K so the ingredients are:
Butter 1 tablespoon
Milk 500ml
CHEESE grated 250g(we used mature cheddar)
Flour 3 tablespoons
Macaroni 350g (or any kind of pasta really)
Garlic 2 Cloves finely chopped
Mustard powder 1 tablespoon
Couple slices of bread
2 packets of cheesy wotsits
(Optional, bacon & 1onion)
So you start with adding your milk in a saucepan along with the butter, mustard powder and flour, then adding the cheese gradually. (The weight is a rough guide but add until you think it's thick enough), cut up your first garlic clove really finely and plonk this in your sauce. Put your macaroni on with a little salt and bring that to the boil, all while stirring and keeping an eye on the cheese sauce.
If your having the bacon start cutting it into small chunks and the same with your onion, then when the pasta is nearly ready fry these.
Drain the pasta and pop it into an oven proof dish, then smothering it in the cheese sauce (adding the bacon and onions if you want them).
Now cut up a couple of slices of bread into crouton sized chunks (we used tiger bread for extra crunch) and fry them off in the frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil and adding the second clove of garlic cut up. When they are a little toasty sprinkle them over the top of your Mac and cheese dish.
Now the fun bit; get your packets of wotsits (depending on the size of your dish you may need more or less packets) and grab a handful and crunch it, sprinkle it all over the bread and covering it (try to get them in bigger chunks).
Finally add another sprinkled layer of grated cheese and then pop it in the oven for 20-25 minutes until it looks golden and crispy on top!
Finally enjoy!!!!!
You're welcome 😆

White Culottes - day to night.
Afternoon guys!
This blog post is literally me playing around with styling these white culottes I recently got from primark in the sale, think I paid about £6 for them, bargain!
So i'm going to the Chelsea Flower show on friday with my mum, and that night I have a friends birthday party to go to, and I think I will be arriving back from the flower show a bit late leaving me not much time to faff around getting ready again, so I thought how can I wear these during the day, and then just swap a few things to be able to wear them in the night and this is what I ended up with.
For the day time I will wear this blue funky patterned River Island silky cropped shirt, paired with these primark leopard print pumps as I am sure I will be doing a lot of walking I will need a comfy shoe and these are like going out in your slippers they are so comfy.
I like the boy-ish look this outfit creates, comfy yet stylish.
The next outfit, I have swapped the top for a velvet high neck strappy vest top type thing that I picked up in a charity shop, and paired this with my New Look pointed black court shoes, I love the way these shoes are cut out just before the toe just to make them that bit different from normal court shoes. I like this look because its simple and the black and white colours make it a smart outfit.
I just want to apologise for the lack of quality of these pictures, I don't actually know why they have come out like this as I took them on my camera, but it might be because I edited them on my phone.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed these looks, and give you some inspiration for styling a pair of culottes if you have any
Have a great week!
Peace,

Finally a normal plus sized model!
Hi guys! 
Notice the legs, absolutely cellulite free and not a roll in sight!? 
What a difference!!! Finally I can actually get a better idea of what the bikini will look like. I think it's fantastic of Asos to do this, round of applause to them!
The weather was glorious yesterday and it reminded me that my summer holiday is creeping nearer and nearer and I am so un prepared bikini wise. If like me you are blessed (or cursed as it more than often proves to be) with larger boobs than a normal busty lady then you will understand my dread of bikini shopping! Anyway the only place I have found so far that offers sizes that fit at affordable prices that aren't made for women aged 50+ and actually hold some kind of fashionable resemblance is the trusty Asos. As I was searching through their 'curve' range something that was brought to my immediate attention was rolls, cellulite, lumps and bumps- NORMAL BODIES!!! Wow. What a sight for sore eyes, I was shocked - I don't think I've ever seen an un-photoshopped body on an online clothing store before! Amazement. Now I don't know for definite if they have actually made a change, but here are some of the photos of their curve range before: 
Here are the current pictures:
I think it's about time that this was shown, media treats cellulite like a taboo myth that should never actually be shown! Truth is even the skinniest of us have it, it's not just the overweight so why is it such a big deal?
I read an article on buzzfeed a couple of weeks ago showing what plus size clothes actually look like on normal real life girls and the results are shocking; http://www.buzzfeed.com/kristinchirico/what-plus-size-clothes-actually-look-like-on-plus-size-women
The only reason I think this is great is because I think no matter what your size/shape you shouldn't feel bad for having imperfections. Skinny or big everyone is beautiful in their own way, and these ladies shouldn't have to hide their lumps and bumps for society!!!!
I hope you more curvier ladies are as pleased as I am with this, and if any of you know any other shops that do great affordable plus size bikinis pleaaaaase enlighten me!!!
Have a great week,
Lillia xxxx

Fresh Prince N Choco milk
Good afternoon guys!
Just a quick post this afternoon of my newest addition to the bargain finds, a vintage sleeveless shirt that really reminds me of something Jazzy Jeff or Will would of worn on the set of The Fresh Prince! So 90's! Oh and excuse my choco milk... I Picked this up in a charity shop for around £3 on Monday. I am wearing this over a black roll neck jumper that I also got from a charity shop, and a pair of leggings that I think are from Forever 21 (i've had them so long I can't actually remember) and a pair of New Balance trainers that my boyfriend got me for my birthday last year. I love this shirt as it's great if your having a lazy day, shove it on over a top and jeans or leggings and you wont have to add much else as its so jazzy. I'm looking forward to experimenting wearing this in the warmer weather over a dress or skirt and top, I can see it being one of my go to festival pieces!
