January is always a tough month. Every year I swear I am going to book myself a nice long holiday somewhere sunny , and every year I fail to do so. So I am not sorry to see the back end of this month,  but outfit wise it's been pretty awesome, so I thought I'd show you what I've been wearing...

My Month in Outfits: What I Wore in January

One of my favourite things about blogging is the messages I get from lovely readers. Sometimes they are messaging just to show their support, other times its with questions and queries, or just to tell me their story or how something I may have written has resonated them. I get quite a few messages from woman wanting to ask me about trying out the pin up style. And I never send a reply without including a glowing recommendation of Collectif's Dolores Doll dress. This is my perfect pin up girl starter dress, and I am about to tell you why...

From the moment I came across Voodoo Vixen they stood out for me. A lot of vintage repro brands are very samey. They're all halter necklines and polka dots, the only thing different being the label. Now these are all perfectly serviceable but there are not that many UK companies doing vintage in a unique way. And only a handful of those that are actually sell plus size.

Since I realised my true bra size, I have dived head first into the land of fuller figured (and fuller busted) lingerie. One of my very favourite brands is Panache. Having been introduced to them from the very beginning, even though I went up several sizes I haven’t had to compromise at all on cut, style or print. In fact thanks to their plus size brand Sculptresse my lingerie drawer is now more exciting than it has ever been before.

Phew, what a year! I can't believe that Curves n Curls is celebrating it's first birthday! Woo hoo! It's been an exciting and busy year, and writing this blog has given me amazing opportunities, taking me to interesting places, and meant I've met some fabulous people along the way. Reading back on my first post, I am pleased that my little blog is still managing to do most of what it set out to do and that I haven't strayed too far from my original vision for this little corner of the internet. So much has happened this year I couldn't possibly hope to sum it all up (and I have already written and lost this post once!) but I thought it would be nice to write about a few of my highlights from my very first year of blogging.

Also, keep reading throughout January, as I am going to be doing a giveaway each week, with some of my favourite brands including Panache, Voodoo Vixen, Studio 8 and Avene.
