Plus Sized Nightwear from Bon Prix

I happened upon Bon Prix a few years ago while searching for some plus sized staples for the wardrobe. I was thrilled that the sizes were spot on and that unlike many brands that offer size 16+ everything I bought still had shape rather than added inches. Since then I have bought numerous items from them and will continue to do so.

When I got an email recently from Bon Prix asking if I would like to review some PJs (rather spooky actually as I had just had a conversation with Roy about needing some more as it was getting too cold to sleep in just his old TShirts!) I was hardly likely to refuse.

I chose these fabulous winter PJs which look great and feel fantastic.

(I had planned on some fun pictures of me in my lovely new PJs however the pics really didn’t do the items credit, although Roy did say I looked “cute” in them)

I chose to receive a two pack of PJ bottoms (£16.99) which have elasticated waist which are perfect for comfort and bloated weeks and this long red pattered nordic nightie (£9.99). Both sets are deceptively warm which up here in North Yorkshire is a blessing, are really comfortable and at these prices very affordable.

I have worn and washed everything at least twice (as I am practically living in them so they are getting a lot of wear!( and they have come up brilliantly (I tumble dried them fine, not a crease in sight).

As far as plus sized nightwear goes I am definitely a Bon Prix fan and have already asked Santa to get me a few more nightwear bits for my sadly lacking collection.

If you have any questions for Bon Prix why not say say hello to them on Twitter? You will also find them on Facebook, where you can keep in touch with news and special offers.

Thanks Bon Prix!

Decade Birthday Shopping

On Tuesday it will be my birthday and I will be entering a whole new decade age-wise (yes people I will be twenty *cough*). In honour of this occasion I was sent out with my youngest sister along with my folks to shop until I dropped. It was quite an experience (I wasn’t confused as being my sister’s mother this time though which was a bonus) and we laughed like mini hyenas for the most of the day.

Setting out for pre-birthday shopping I imagined some spiky high heels, bling, a completely unpractical top and what not hitting my basket. Instead the bulk of my purchases included a gilet from BHS, some special jeans from SimplyBe that hide many sins and of course some kick arse waist-high control pants. I have to give special mention to the control pants. They were from Primark (the only thing in there that fits me other than the gloves), cost £5 each and I’m not convinced that they weren’t designed by NASA. Fabulous tummy-sucky-in things.

So there you go, no sparkly heels, no bling (saying that I did get a lovely early present from Lauren, my youngest sister which were some gorgeous silver earrings), and no flashy tops. I am greeting my next shiny new decade with a lifted bum, sucked in tummy, a comfy gilet  and can’t wait!
