On Tuesday the 10th of April, myself & one of my best friends, Brittany of Vesuvial Desire travelled to Manchester Fashion Week. Brittany won the tickets on a Facebook competition from Missguided. We both found out last Thursday & were excited to say the least! I thought it would be a great experience (being a fashion blogger) to personally watch some catwalks & go through some rails and see some up & coming designs. The rails that were on show were from Missguided & a designer dress rental company, neither catered for plus size girls - which is a shame, as some of their designs were beautifully detailed & on trend. Plus size fashion is a reasonably small category yet a huge audience in comparison to the main ranges of fashion. Seeing as it shouldn't matter what size people are, bigger girls should be able to dress fashionably. Maybe one day every high street store will cater for us bigger ladies! *dreams & sighs* Nevertheless I thought I would share a few of my favourite designs from the days catwalk shows & from the day. 
I was in love with the pretty pastel pieces. I'm sure many of you know already my fondness of this colour palette. They are just so sweet & girly. The styling of the cardigan, shorts & stripey tee is so cute! I really want a similar cardigan :) This has to be my favourite trend of Summer!
Cute Scalloped Edge Hot pants & Masculine Studs. The scalloped edge of the shorts is so cute, I wish details like these were available in the plus size ranges! :(
Animal prints are totally in! I'm loving the vertical stripe trend at the moment too.
Grunge tartan prints & contrasting designs caught my eye.
Beautiful details - We need more of this in Plus Size Fashion!
Obviously, I couldn't resist showing you a picture of the sweet cart & the cupcakes! How yummy & adorable do they all look!?
Adorable Pleating, Socks & Sandals, Peter Pan Collars <3 I REALLY wish the designers of plus size brands would just take a note of cute details!
Much Love, Charlotte x
