Five years ago, Callie (a sassy welsh chick with two cats so I obviously love her) started blogging about her diet attempts on the web, which actually only made her feel like absolute shite. So she decided to use the platform as an aspiring, fashion obsessed lifestyle space where she can chat to women about everything from body image to delicious recipes. Follow her on Insta.

This UK-based beauty looks like she’s stepped straight from a vintage pin-up calendar with her ample bust, gorgeous curves, thick red hair, and perfect winged eyeliner. Both her blog and Instagram boast a STUNNING collection of dresses made in classic designs to perfectly flatter her curves. She also gives a lot of advice on dressing for bigger busts which I really appreciate as I often have no idea!

Whenever I think of Chicago, I think of the bleak streets represented in the cult TV show, Shameless. Yes, it’s just a TV show but that’s their power. Hayet’s fruity and bright Instagram account is anything but bleak, with her outfit choices generally erring of the side of utter fabulousness. Her blog contains beautifully shot high-res images of detailing on her outfits that would be missed on other social platforms.
