Step into spring with confidence and team up any of the tops (below) with skinny jeans or leggings and slouch cardigans to add extra warmth.

Andria and Holika (of La Diva delle Curve) opt for a glamorous purple theme, with help of our evening dresses!

Here is the gorgeous Jo in her purple gaga sleeve dress and embellished shrug from Yours, as well as the adorable Laura in our polka dot palazzo pants!

The lovely Lesley is another fan of our gaga sleeve dresses - here she is in our purple and floral versions!

Natalie of Definatalie has a wonderful summery look in our striped maxi skirt and crochet top, and Rosie (A Rose Like This) looks cute as a button in our leopard peter pan collar tunic!

The ever-impressive Sam of Stiletto Siren works our bomber jacket to perfection, while Shu Shu wraps up for winter in our snuggly black toggle coat and jeans!

Thanks everyone for sharing your looks with us and generally being fabulous - here's to another 12 months of incredible plus size fashion! xxx

A slightly different "celebrity" look for us this week - in fact, it's a fictional character! To celebrate the release of the English language version of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo this week I've come up with a look that reflects the tough cookie heroine, Lisbeth Salander, played by Rooney Mara in the film (and for you super fans, Noomi Rapace in the originals!). This one's definitely for you rock chicks...

First item I tried was this Leopard Print 2in1 Belted Dress in a size 22. A small word of warning, the top part is see-through so you may need a vest to hand! But it's beautiful and from the front does give me a bit of a waist! However, as you can probably see, the bodycon skirt shows the outline of my belly, which is a dealbreaker for a lot of plus size women. I would definitely recommend this for hourglass or busty shapes to really emphasise those womanly curves of yours!

Next up was the Winter Ditsy Tunic, in a size 20. This fit absolutely perfectly - the empire line waist means it works well on my pear shape, flowing over my belly and hips. I would also recommend it for apple shapes. The material is cotton, so I would pair it with thick tights or leggings, boots and a warm cardi for winter.

I tried this Black, Grey & Red Floral Tunic in a size 22-24, though I could easily have gone down a size. These styles are so popular with you guys, and it's easy to see why. They're so comfortable and roomy, just an absolute joy to wear, no matter your shape. The scarf is detached so you can add it to any outfit, too!

Finally, and my favourite of the bunch, is the Spotty Gaga Sleeve Dress in a size 20. If you're looking to emphasise or create curves in places you didn't know you had them, this is absolutely the dress for you! On my pear shape I felt sexy and curvy in a way I don't normally. Absolutely perfect!

I can't wait for Christmas, it's my favourite time of year! Although I love to give presents, I've also made a wee list of things I'd like to find in my stocking Christmas morning...

Before I talk about my favourite item this week, I really want us to have a weekend push to get back in front of both our categories in the 100 Percent People awards! Please vote for us as often as you can in Best Retailer and Best Independent Retailer as we really, really, really want to WIN!

You all know that Yours Clothing, unlike most plus size retailers, pulls absolutely no punches when it comes to bringing our customers versions of the latest and most current fashion around. So no sooner had (a rather cross-eyed) Jessie J strutted her star printed tights on the stage, than our very own plus size version appeared! Check it out:

Karina looks fashionably casual in our Minnie Mouse t-shirt, and the lovely Lesley looking absolutely FABULOUS in our elegant purple jeweled maxi dress, that's still available in some sizes! 

Looking beautifully feminine and elegant is Lynne and Megan, featuring a tribal patterned skirt available from last year, and this summer's rose pink floral maxi - still available in sizes 18 and 24, at a reduced price of £19.

Miria and Nadia return! Nadia on the right wears one of our popular, colourful tunics from earlier this year, and Miria looks hot to trot in her military jacket!

Australia blogger Natalie shows off her laid back summer style with the help of our crochet top - and how cute is her dog, Miffy? As well as that, the lovely Odelia looks wonderful in our purple floral maxi and matching shrug.

Rachel looks like a curvy superstar in our animal print chiffon maxi, doesn't she? Good work, girl! And Sam from Lips, Hips and Fatshion Tips always dresses up a treat - her Yours faux leather bomber from last winter is perfect for her autumn kitsch outfit.

That's all for this month folks! Will you be wearing Yours Clothing over the Christmas party period? If you are, don't forget to tweet or facebook your photos to be featured on our blog! Can't wait to see your fabulous outfits... 

Lots of love,

Lauren xx

The jumpsuit is one of those pieces you can never go wrong with. They're comfortable, elegant, flattering and work in all fabrics and colours.

Whether it's flowing, flared, draped or straight, picking the right one plays an important role to how you are going to wear/style it properly.

At Yours we have a great selection of jumpsuits designed specifically for the coming party season. They are a great alternative to a dress but you will still feel feminine and chic.

Check out our styles below and remember to accessorise.

We're still in dire need of your votes in the 100 Percent People awards! Please help us get back in 1st place in the Best Plus Size Ladies Retailer and keep us in front in the Best Independent Plus Size Ladies Retailer - let us know on facebook or twitter when you've voted, as there may be a treat in store for you!

It's been a while since our last celebrity look, and today I've chosen one of the most stylish women in the UK - Posh Spice herself! Here she is looking as smart and fashionable as ever - although wearing scarily high heels in which to carry her adorable daughter Harper Seven - in one of her own colour-block designs. If you want to emulate her superstar look, look no further than Yours!

You've been doing an incredible job voting for us in the 100 Percent People's Plus Size Awards. We've got a good lead in the Best Independent Ladies Plus Size Retailer category, but we've slipped to 2nd place in the Best Retailer category. Nooo! Can you help us push the votes and take over Igigi's lead? Please vote for us and spread the word!

Here at Yours we have always included a great mix of unique, fashionable designs with lots of budget-busting basics items, and this season is no different. Alongside our extravagant party dresses and evening wear are dependable, good quality basics in a range of autumnal hues:

Stretch Skinny Jeans, £22. Available in khaki, brown, black and navy.

Our stretchy skinnies are an absolute must have for any autumn and winter wardrobe. Throw on a warm jumper and boots and you're ready for anything!

Scoop Neck T-Shirts, £8 each/2 for £15. Available in black, brown, blue and purple.

When a jumper just isn't enough - or if you need some extra coverage - these long-sleeved scoop-neck tops provide an extra layer of warmth on those cold winter evenings. 

Asymmetric Hem T-Shirts, £8 each/2 for £15. Available in teal, denim, berry, black and charcoal.

Similar to our scoop-neck t-shirts, these can help with layering up. But the 3/4 sleeves and asymmetric hem have a little more detail, meaning you can wear them for layering purposes or on their own. 

Hope you like these! How would you style them? Let me know on our facebook page, in the comments or on twitter. Can't wait to chat to you!
