Looking back at each decade, I feel both ‘older’ and ‘younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live.

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

The Curve Fashion Festival Liverpool

The Curve Fashion Festival is the largest plus size fashion event for women size 14 and upwards. Since its inception back in 2015, women from all over the world have enjoyed a full day event of celebrations. It is a day dedicated to embracing plus women plus shopping, catwalks and more don’t hurt.

This year’s Curve Fashion Festival will be held in Liverpool and its expected to be BIGGER and BETTER. So many brands will be participating to support the incredible Curve Fashion Festival. Last year Debenhams promoted their Beauty Range, in their second year participating they will promote lingerie. Other brands who’ve participated in the past include Boohoo, River Island, New Look and many others.

All About The Curve Fashion Festival

The Curve Fashion Festival brings together the biggest high street and online retailers. All event attendees can expect to chat with the retailers and take a peek into their latest collections.

The aim of the Curve Fashion Festival is to showcase all the plus size fashion from the popular retailers. I like the idea that they invite guest speakers to talk about plus size fashion. One of the most notable speakers for me is Gemma Collins from the Only Way is Essex.

I can picture it already how much fun it must have been having Gemma as a guest. The festival is full of buzz especially for influencers getting a chance to chat with the brands. If you’re not local to Liverpool and wish to make a day out of this trip, pop into the Fashion Hall. Enjoy a spot of shopping and nip to Liverpool Grand Central for a bit of lunch or dinner.

Buy Your Tickets!!!

This year’s Curve Fashion Festival will be held on 17th November 2018 ST GEORGES PLACE, LIVERPOOL. Make sure to grab your tickets and enjoy a little countdown until the event. The ticket price starts from £15 for one ticket, all VIP tickets have been sold out.

    It’s really nice to see the world adapt and realise that we come in all shapes and sizes but it doesn’t mean we aren’t beautiful.

    This sounds really great but it seems a bit odd that they’ve used/supplied you with a photo of a rather skinny lady as a promo image! x

    I am glad the fashion world has finally woken up to the fact that not all women are size 8. I really love the idea of the curve fashion festival and Liverpool is a great city to visit.
