Lisa’s top picks for the season

Hi,
I’m Lisa, one of the Marisota girls, and I just thought I would introduce myself. I have to confess, I have a major weakness for lingerie, but because I take a bigger bra size I’ve really struggled to find the right fit, until now that is.

My problem wasn’t finding bras, it was finding pretty or sexy lingerie to fit me, and that offered the comfort and support I needed. Now that I shop at Marisota there’s plenty of choice available for me, I just have trouble deciding which ones to choose. I think I’ve finally made a decision so I thought I’d share my top lingerie in the Marisota Spring/Summer collection.

1)    Everyday bras and knickers

This bra two pack is ideal for everyday wear; you get one white and one lemon bra in the multipacks. Plus the cotton jersey cups are really comfortable and it’s only £15 for the two! Bargain!

This 4 pack of shorties is ideal for everyday, their comfy cotton style is ideal for everyday wear and once again they’re a total bargain – only £18 for four pairs!

2)    Something for the weekend (or night out)

If you’re wearing something revealing then this stunning diamante back bra from Splendour is the perfect choice. It’s particularly good with backless styles thanks to the beautiful diamante back.

It’s important to have different lingerie to work for different occasions and I think that between these choices we’ve got it covered!

Speak to you soon

Hi,

My name’s Jenny and I’m one of the Marisota girls (click here for more info about me!) , I love all things fashion (particularly shoes – and even more particularly stylish wide fitting ones). I’m here to give you a quick update on one of this season’s hottest trends. With spring and summer well on their way we need to prepare for the months of garden parties, barbeques and drinks on the patio. So these are a few of my quick tips for dressing to impress this season

These stylish spot hem pedal pushers are a perfect choice for spring; the ¾ leg is flattering whilst the spot hem is a great element of detail – a must this season. These would look particularly fabulous with this white cutwork gypsy top from Joanna Hope. It’s floaty and feminine but comfortable at the same time. The ¾ length sleeves are effortlessly flattering and perfect for if you burn easily, or to keep off the chill as the evening draws to a close.

Another fantastic option is this stylish sequin trim print skirt from Joanna Hope, wear it with one of Marisota’s simple camis (and a waist belt if you prefer) to get a simple, stylish look.

If you want to get the full on summer feeling then this maxi dress is ideal. It’s comfortable, flattering and comes in a choice of lengths so you’ll get your perfect look and fit!

Now as you know (or you will soon) shoes are my weakness, so where would my post be without some recommendations!

These Caryn Franklin gladiator wedges are some of my absolute favourites, these wedges are comfortable but still have a heel and have strap detail, plus they come in a variety of widths!

If you favour a flatter style then these Emotion sandals are perfect. They’re just strappy enough for smart occasions but are still great for regular wear, plus with their great range of sizes and widths you know you’ll be exquisitely comfortable.

Let me know what you think of my choices, or if there’s anything else you want to know. (PS. the mystery blogger last week was me!)

Bye for now

Hi!

This is just a quick post to say hello! You’ll find out more about me soon…. I’m really excited about the new season at Marisota! The new book will be winging it’s way to you shortly and I want to give you a sneak peak at this season’s trends!

Somewhere in the middle

Winter is on it’s way out but we’re not quite into spring yet, so Marisota have got some great choices that are just warm enough to keep out the lingering chill, but light enough to continue being a wardrobe staple right through to summer!

The top – This Anna Scholz sequin trim tunic is ideal for this season. With 3/4 length sleeve it doesn’t commit to being a summer or winter look but instead word for both. The sequin detail is stunning, and just subtle enough to wear with jeans in the day or to glam up at night!

Anna Scholz Sequin Trim Tunic, £65

The trousers –These Jeffrey & Paula wide leg trousers are ideal for Spring/ Summer, and are especially good for evening wear. Plus they come with a matching belt with looks great with tucked in tops for emphasising your waist!

Jeffrey & Paula Wide Leg Trousers - £36

The Cardigan - A coatigan or cardigan coat is just what you need as the days get warmer. This super stylish long cardigan looks great with everything from officewear to eveningwear or even just jeans and trainers.

Cardigan Coat - £25 - £29

Get in the Garden! - More on this later!

It’ll soon be getting warmer, and I for one can’t wait to get outside! I love the barbeque season and the garden party style is on its way up. Get this look perfect by remembering our 3 alfresco dining essentials:

·    Colour – get the Spring/ Summer style with pretty prints, pastel shades and even full on brights. The perfect way to give your day a lift! Floral print is one to look out for!

·    Detail – Attention to detail is a must, whether it’s frills, buttons or a well-placed belt!

·    Texture – This season is all about floaty, feminine fabrics. Simply wear a light floral maxi dress with gladiator sandals for feminine chic!

Watch out for my “Get in the garden” post next week with tips on how to dress as things get warmer!

Now…..the final installment on our top party pieces for the season. Marisota have come up with some fantastic partywear collections to suit you. The Marisota cocktail partywear range is perfect for evening wear somewhere in between glamour partywear and our value range. Cocktail partywear is perfect for office Christmas parties, nights out with your friends and (especially) anywhere cocktails are involved.

To me, cocktail party clothing is all about selection. Choosing one key piece and accessorising accordingly, for example a signature dress teamed with subtle but coordinating shoes, bag and underwear is far better than lots of key pieces that clash. For example, this stunning lace dress with wrap front detail.

This dress would look fabulous with these platform heels

they’re discreet enough, and well coordinated enough to add to the look without overpowering the stunning dress. Plus they’re great if you need wide fitting shoes as they’re available in E fit and EEE fit. Perfect for women who find that “standard” fit shoes pinch.

Many women forget that the secret to perfect partywear is supportive and comfortable underwear. A good bodyshaper is the perfect base on which to build your party wear look.

It will give you great support whilst smoothing your curves and defining your waist. Plus, it even has handy suspenders for keeping those stockings in place!

Now you’ve only to add the finishing touches, like this Crystal pendant necklace and Crystal elasticated cuff, perfect for adding a little sparkle!

So…. those are my top tips for the party season, and enjoying the festivities in style!

I don’t know about you, but with Christmas coming I can already feel my purse getting lighter, with food and drink to buy, as well as presents it’s not the most budget friendly time of year.

Fashion can be a snagging point, how do you save money but still look goodduring the parties and general festivities to come?

Marisota has come up with a fantastic partywear collection, with a great price tag. Every item in their value party range is £60.00 or less, and it includes everything from dresses to shoes, skirt and trousers (in a range of lengths) as well as party underwear and more.

This dress is one of my favourites!

It comes in black and peacock (blue) and with it’s sweetheart neckline, waterfall cut and draping fabric it looks fantastic with curves and sparkly shoes. Plus prices start at just £40, a total bargain for an evening wear maxi dress!

To create a smooth line under such a stunning dress, shapewear is fantastic, it smooths you out and slims your shape. For example, this bodyshaper:

A bodyshaper like this one would look fabulous under a party dress. It’s not too high cut so shouldn’t be a problem when it comes to lower cut styles, smooths out your bum and tum and gives you great lift! Plus it’s fabulous value at just £30 - £34.

But no party outfit would be complete without stunning heels! These strappy evening sandals would go perfectly with the waterfall dress, they’re available in E and EEE fit , a choice of black, silver or gold and in a great range of sizes.

Plus they’re an absolute bargain at just £20.  As you can see the Marisota value partywear range is perfect for looking fabulous this festive season without breaking the bank!

Bye for now,

It’s that time of year again, we’re all trying to find the perfect outfit for the Christmas party, and it can be tricky especially have a shorter leg length or struggle to find comfortable party shoes, and even more so if you want to wear something a bit different from everyone else. So I thought I would let you in on a few secrets about how to look fabulous and even get a bit of the “strictly” look this Autumn/ Winter. Marisota is here to help; there are some great sections on glamour partywear, cocktail wear and stunning pieces that offer great value whilst being wardrobe staples you’ll wear again and again!

The place to start is your clothes, be it a party dress, skirt and evening top or even trousers and a party top. Any combination can look fantastic especially if you feel comfortable and confident! To get the really sparkly look the Marisota “Glamour” party range is perfect!

This gorgeous sequined dress from Changes by Together is guaranteed to shine! It’s dripping in sparkle and will really get you in the party mood, you’ll on the dancefloor in no time. It definitely offers the full glamour, “Strictly Come Dancing” feel.

This black satin trim jersey skirt would look fantastic for a night out, restaurant or a Christmas or New Year party, especially when teamed with a beautiful sequin top like this red one from Changes by Together.

Both of these would look fabulous with Marisota’s range of party shoes. Like these gorgeous shoes, they’re fabulous for the party season and come in a wide range of sizes and widths so you don’t have to worry about shoes that pinch! Even better they come in gorgeous jewel bright colours, and are super sparkly!

While we’re on the subject of dancing shoes, I love Alesha as the new judge on Strictly Come Dancing, but I definitely miss Arlene, I might try and catch her on the live shows, what do you think of the whole Alesha/ Arlene debate?

Watch this space for more on Marisota Partywear including their value party range and cocktail party collection.

Well I think by now you might be aware that in the past I’v struggled to find nice shoes and boots to fit me, but if you knew that you probably also know that now I shop at Marisota it’s no longer a problem!

Boots are my absolute favourite choice for Autumn, they work well with trousers but also with dresses or skirts and tights. They’re great for wet weather and keep your toes snug. But my problem was always that they kept my legs a little too snug, if they would do up at all!

These Legroom high leg suede boots are my idea of shoe heaven. They’re real leather (suede), available in sizes up to EEE fit and come in gorgeous black with silver detail and brown with gold buckles.

However, I don’t always want to wear heels. This is where my fringe hi leg boots come in. They’re available in tan and black and come in sizes 4 – 9 and widths to EEE.
All you need to do now is decide which colour best matches your wardrobe (I went for black myself!)!

Sometimes I want something on the glitzy side, for something shiny I love these Isabella Cole high leg patent boots.
Available in the usual sizes 4 –9 and widths to EEE you’re sure to find the perfect fit for you!  I love the shade of the grey colour; they’d look great with a grey skirt and black tights!
So there we are, these are my pick of the season’s boots; they’re chic, stylish and come in a fabulous size range to fit you.
See you soon!

How exciting! There’s now a brand new section on the Marisota website called Marisota World.

On it you can find the latest style news, product reviews, style advice and more as well as information about me and the other Marisota girls.

Plus there’s a “Get the look” feature about the new film “Coco before Chanel”, I have to say I adore the boucle jacket.

Another great bit of Marisota World is the “as recommended by..” section. Good Housekeeping magazine recently did a feature on Marisota and I love that I can keep up with the “buzz” so to speak.

But my absolute favourite is Shop the TV ad.

I had so much fun filming the TV Ad and absolutely loved the outfits, it really rang true with my experience of Marisota, so me and the other girls have each given our “tuppence” worth and contributed to the page.

Obviously my favourite items were those I wore myself, I find it a real struggle to get skirts and trousers in my leg length so Marisota is a God send!

From the smart jeans with their lovely deep indigo colour, bootcut style and perfect leg length.

to the lovely outfit of red pleat neck jersey top, wide leg trousers and weave belt which were all exactly my style!

And finally my absolute favourite the Print Jersey Tie Front Dress, it’s perfect for a meal out, night out or even work with the right accessories.

I think the Legroom High Suede Boots Jane wore in the advert would be perfect

That’s enough from me anyway but keep your eyes peeled for some really exciting stuff coming up this Season!

I’ve just been to see the film Coco before Chanel and it got me thinking about timeless fashion. Despite the fact the film takes place long before Gabrielle Chanel became the iconic Coco Chanel it still exudes some of the classic Chanel style and beauty.

I think all of us want to capture some of that timeless style, and I think I’ve managed it with this boucle jacket from Marisota.
It definitely has the Chanel feel without the hefty price tag.

It comes in three colours; purple (above), green (below) and black (bottom).

It’s simple and chic. The tailored cut of the jacket subtly flatters your curves while the hook and eye fastening gives a clean line.The contrast edge detail picks out the smart tailoring and clean lines to finish this timeless piece perfectly. Because it’s from Marisota it fits perfectly, a gorgeous smart jacket made for curves!

Plus I got to wear it in green on the shoot for the new collection, I think it looks great! Definitely my favourite!
