New Years Devolutions

The title is the affectionate name I've affixed to the tradition of new year's resolutions. A wonderful time of year in which we lie to ourselves and everyone around us about how we plan to bring ourselves up to the basic requirements of humanity so that we can be injected into social situations without people fleeing in despair.

Last year I made the resolution to buy Vogue every month, in the hope I would become a better fashion journalist whilst simultaneously sizing up the competition. I did succeed in my resolution, but I also started buying and smoking Vogue menthols around September to deal with the mind numbing boredom of having to read stupid Vogue all the stupid time. Yay, rich white people did something I saw on tumblr six months ago. No one cares... Frankly it's put me off resolutions altogether, even ones that initially seem appealing. I've decided to break down the most common resolutions for the rest of you, so you don't make the same mistake.

Here are the top ten new years resolutions according to the first website that came up on google that had 'statistics' vaguely in the description. Therefore, science.

The Twelve Gifts of Christmas

Here's my belated Christmas wish list. I know it's very late and far too close to Christmas to order things online but if you truly love me you will find a way to have all twelve here by the 25th. I've been told I become quite unreasonable around the holidays which might have something to do with Tesco selling Terry's Chocolate Orange's for under €2. When you finish your 14th in a row you can be involuntarily committed.

Anyway I managed not to go too stud mental in my gift list, but frankly if I had my way this post would just be eleven pictures of metal studs and a final picture of me hot gluing studs to my face. I've spent quite a substantial amount of money on ebay buying sacks the addictive, pointy, treasures and when they arrive I plan to turn myself and every garment I own into some kind of fashion porcupine. 

Instead of studs, I tried to select each item from a different plus size shop or designer to give a more varied list. 

OneOneThree

I just saw this on Pocket Rocket (which is a super cute fatshion blog if you haven't seen it already).
A gorgeous new plus size clothes company called One One Three, and after seeing the photos I'm positively giddy...

The Ever Expanding Universe

Remember that post I did about how nebula print is finally available in plus size? 

Well here's one more, this time from Nakimuli as part of their ever expanding plus size range.

You can buy this for me here, and actually while you're there you should really peruse the rest of their plus size stuff. It's very very good...

Things I NEED

Buy me this immediately if not sooner.

Don't be crap, it's on sale and everything. You can buy it for me here x

EDIT:
So I was so struck by the top's utter beauty (and the post Christmas shopping dregs left in my paypal account) that I simply had to buy it. I have absolutely nothing to wear it with, but I don't care, I'm just going to nail it to my wall and weep at it's glory.
