My latest Heart of Haute Haul!

This week I'm showing off some of the cutest must have pieces from my loves at Heart of Haute. I've been working with and modeling their garments for so very long now and not matter what size fluctuations I might have their garments always compliment my figure and fit like a dream. 

Now for this post I'm wearing everything in a size 2XL. Some items are a little more loose than others so I'll give my honest opinion of fit and if you need to size down etc. 




I'd never really given royal blue a chance when I had red hair. I was never 100% sure how to stay any blue shade so I avoided it mostly. But when I saw the boobalisious Aimee dress in this most divine blue shade ever I obviously had to have it. 

 

Created with curves in mind this fit and flare style is soft, comfy and hugs all your curves. The a-line skirt skims over my hips while the waist and bust really hug me in all of the right places. The soft stretchy cotton knit is an absolutely joy to wear as it's super light. 



The stretch of this fabric means there is no need for zippers as you just simply pull the Aimee over your head and then cinch your waist with the matching tie belt. 



Now the 2XL in this specific dress while roomy is actually super comfy. I can easily size down to the 1XL but I'm absolutely fine with the roomy and comfort of this piece. The soft stretchy knit is great for anyone between sizes as well so if you are on the cusp of one size you'll easily be able to size down. 



If you're looking for some super cute extra layers for the cooler months or general cover us you honestly can't go past the Sweet Sweater. It's a layering essential and the most flattering cardigan you'll ever own. 



I've been OBSESSED with this style for years now and own it in each and every colour way. The new Kelly Green, however, is a different shade to my OG green so I wanted to pair it with the bold blue beneath. 


The stunning neckline of the Aimee dress really compliments the Sweet Sweater while helping amplify those curves. I've owned this style in sizes XL to 2XL and for layering I much prefer this in a 2XL as it gives more room and space for sleeves. 

As it's a tie front cardigan, you can wear this as tight or as loose as you need. 






I can't believe I did not pair this all black look with a beret! The mod/beatnik vibes from this whole look would have been perfect!


When I first discovered HOH many moons ago one of the first dresses I reviewed was the navy Spy Dress. I then added a black version to my collection and wore these with tights, gloves and all the winter trimmings. 

I've always loved the fit and feel of this piece and have finally got my mitts on the top version. A classic 60's vibe with half sleeves, a bold neckline and that retro fit perfection. Now I figured out pretty fast during this shoot/review that a 2XL in all tops from Heart of Haute is way too big for me. Usually, I order a 2XL and fit that one area is perfect and another too large. But for this and the following top this is one size too big in all places. 


But the Spy top is an new wardrobe staple! Classic fit, classic shape and pairs perfectly with everything from capris, jeans, swing or wiggle skirts. I've paired this piece with my cigarette pants, and you can wear it tucked in or left out as it's a great length. 



Oh my gosh I'm absolutely smitten with the Denise top!  With a mock neck and half sleeves this is one of the most versatile and adorable tops I've ever owned. The Spy top has a more look and relaxed neckline while this mock style is super up my alley.



Don't listen to what anyone states about busty girls should not wear high necklines. Most of the time when done correctly they can be super flattering and give amazing shape. 

Made from a stretchy jersey knit this piece is figure flattering, soft and really, really comfy. Both of these tops feel as soft as your favourite PJ's and isn't that what we adore from our clothing?



Again the stunning Kelly Green shines, and I can't wait to style this with other pieces such as swing skirts, pini's and more.







Lastly, I finally have my favourite Kittees print in a baseball top! I'm absolute addicted to all things baseball/raglan style top wise so from the moment this piece was previewed my hands were already in grabby mode. 



The best print, brilliant colour combo and that perfect fit as all styles in this range provide. I'm wearing the 2XL in this style, and it's a relaxed and comfy fit. I find that I go between 2XL and XL for most of my baseball tops depending on what I'm pairing them with ETC. 

I need 2 more of these baseball styles and lets face it, everything else on the webstore.

Magic

Are you ready for a little bit of magic from Playful Promises? Now you saw the last few lingerie looks from Brastop but I wanted to give this look from PP it's own full feature so it could shine in all of the pastel glory.


Playful Promises Eddie Crossover Bra 
Matching Crossover Bottoms 
Orchard Corset Pale Pink Lace Up Side Underbust 
Dollskill Robe 
Miz Smitten Kitten Flower Crown

Sometimes your outfits just come together and make magic. That's what happened when we paired this strappy crossover set with my corset. A longline style bra and super strappy bottoms which looks amazing when worn with nothing else makes for an extra special set when the straps are curved around this pale pink underbust. 


I swear Playful Promises make the best long ling bras and the most flattering styles with cage straps and the Eddie set is perfection. Hitting long in my underbust area with two extra straps and gold hardware, more strap detail over the cups, cage straps and sheer fabric. 


The matching knickers are perfect as they sit high, have super stretch and the straps are fully adjustable. I'm wearing the Eddie bra in a 38HH and the cups are roomier than I expected. I fill them with a little room to spare but once adjusted everything looks amazing. 


The bottoms are an XL and they fit like a dream. Honestly the stretch in this fabric is so good! 


The pale aqua fabric inspired the whole look and I love how this set melds perfectly with the polka dot robe and rose crown.



I honestly feel magical in this outfit and if it was legal I'd wear it out! Playful Promises should be fashion and not hidden beneath clothes.

Dinosauria

Have you snapped up any of the latest Erstwilder release? The epic Dinosauria collection went live this week with some of the coolest pieces I've ever seen.



Dino Skulls for the absolute win! T-Rex skulls are iconic and Erstwilder have perfected the art of creating resin bones and the sharpest of teeth. Carefully constructed, complete with hand painted detail - it's everything I love in one piece.




Plus with the matching drop earrings this is the perfect set for any Dino fan. 


I honestly never knew I needed these two pieces until now and I'll be wearing them to death. 



Ahhhh my first Pterodactyl accessory! Please excuse my super daggy excitement levels but holy hell this piece is amazing. Shown soaring through the sky this piece has multiple different textured resins to create a truly magical piece. 

 


I love the feel of this little lady and how strong and stunning she is. Jay and I actually argued about this piece. He was so sure it's two but I'm still sticking to one dino and a shadow! 



Oh my gosh this piece sold out instantly!!! When I first saw the this piece I instantly though Jurassic Park goes Priscilla Queen of the Desert. The strong double crest has glitter, multiple textures and the most beautiful mixtures of reds.

 


Combined with the green tones and those epic teeth this piece really packs a punch and is an amazing statement brooch. 

 

You also might have noticed the stunning copper locks I'm wearing for this shoot. I've become a huge fan of Annabelle's Wigs and specifially these super retro Betty style mixture of bangs and lush curls. This style is the Vida  and instantly it's a perfect fit with the best faux fringe I've ever worn. I can't wait to keep styling this with berets and headbands for future shoots. I'm that smitten with the style that I recently ordered a pink version and will continue to add more to by collection. 




We also got spoilt with the essentials this release and I'm loving each and every piece.
