Occasionwear from Marisota

Get the perfect wedding outfit from Marisota

The wedding season is fast approaching and like many women I’ve been trying to figure out what I can wear for the various weddings I’ll be attending. Marisota have tons of occasionwear ideas, and they’re available in sizes 12 - 32 with shoes in sizes 4 - 9 and width fittings up to EEE.

This blurred spot print dress by Joanna Hope is perfect for a summer wedding, navy is very fashionable this season whilst the sleeveless, bias cut of this dress is classic for a wedding guest.

The blurred spots incredibly flattering, helped along by the fabric belt and stunning detail at the neckline. The choice of lengths means you’ll get the fit just right it’s available in 42 inch (shorter length)
Or 45 inch (longer length)

Red or white shoes are a great choice with navy, the nautical trend is seriously stylish and a perfect choice for summer weddings.

These shoes are the perfect height for wearing all day and they’re in a seriously cute style, plus they come in a choice of red, black or white and in widths E or EEE.

E fit red slingbacks
White slingbacks in EEE fit

Many modern weddings don’t require you to wear a hat, but you can often feel underdressed. A fascinator is the perfect middle ground and either of these styles would be ideal

Well, that’s my wedding outfit sorted for more occasionwear inspiration from Marisota take a look at their wedding day outfit suggestions (plus they’ve got some great ideas for race days and garden parties).

Lingerie in a big size range: Lisa’s top picks for the season

Marisota have a fantastic range of bras in bigger sizes, so I have plenty of choice!

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

Mystery Post!

It’s nearly time for the new book and new season, plus you’ll find out more about me!

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

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!
