I have some exciting news… I’m an official blogger for Target Australia and I’ll be writing one post a month, showcasing finds I love. I’m given a budget of $100, I shop my ass off and come back here to tell you all the things I think are worth checking out. With Aidan ready to [...]

Negatives & Positives

One day you’re sitting at your computer and you discover that someone has attacked you somewhat casually online and for a brief moment you reexamine your entire existence. Initially you’re shocked and hurt, you question what would drive a person to say negative things about you in such a public and seemingly meaningless way. You [...]

Sponsored by Appletiser I’ll admit it, I love when parcels get delivered to my door and who wouldn’t when they look like this! The lovely people at Appletiser sent me a lovely sparkly care package filled with loose green glitter (yeah, still cleaning that up, thanks!) some yummy cupcakes from the Sparkle Cupcakery, sparklers and [...]

Aussie Curves – Dark

I interpreted this week’s theme “Dark” as more of a mood rather than a colour scheme. I was sent this beautiful Clements Ribeiro Swan dress from Evans several weeks ago but I never had a suitable event or occasion to wear it to, to really do it justice. When Suger came to stay we both [...]

You know I wouldn’t write about an iron if it wasn’t fabulous right? Well here I am writing a post about one and yes, I’m even giving you the chance to win one! When Sunbeam offered to send me the Pro Glide Plus 8700 (valued at $399) to review I couldn’t resist. I hate ironing to [...]

Dinner, a Birds Eye View

Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia The last few months have been manic. In order for me to balance out my work flow, the housework, playtime and downtime a few things have had to slide… fancy elaborate meals at dinner time were one of them. I don’t feel guilty though as I made sure they were still [...]

Aussie Curves – Strapless

Strapless… wow, now that’s something I haven’t done in awhile. For years I bought dresses and tops that were totally cute but seriously not practical, this is one of them. I bought it from City Chic many moons ago and I keep trying to sell it and then lose my nerve last minute. It’s a [...]

Raising Money, Raising the Roof

For the past few months I’ve been busy behind the scenes organising a charity fundraising event. Last year I hosted a Curvy Clothes Swap and it was awesome, basically an excuse to get together with my girls and party. The money I raised from that event went towards Girls Night In, a fundraiser anyone can [...]

Earlier this week Chobani sent us a great big crate of yogurt awesomeness, this stuff is crazy good. They sent us a package around this time last year and Aidan was thrilled with it so I was keen to see what was in this one as they’re always a surprise. In case you’re wondering Chobani [...]

Just quietly, this week has been mental. We’ve had Melissa and Kelvin from Suger Coat It here since last Thursday afternoon. The house has been a buzz with blog talk, outfit photo marathon sessions and laughter, lots and lots of laughter. Aidan’s deemed “Kelvy” as his favourite and follows him around like a little shadow. [...]

Aussie Curves – Pastels

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Pastels

I’m pretty pale, there’s no denying it, so wearing lighter colours often leaves me looking washed out and a bit sickly so I was nervous about “Pastels”. I knew during summer I’d want to embrace lighter clothing with easy layers and lots of white, it’s a fun colourful trend I didn’t want to miss out [...]

Smoothie Cubes

I am not a morning person. For me to function even in the slightest way, the morning needs to be an easy time of day. Aidan’s even learnt that he has to wake me up nicely and gently or the day goes downhill swiftly. So the idea of peeling and chopping fruits and vegetables as [...]

I posted this photo on facebook tonight, sharing what I’d made for dinner and I was instantly asked to share the recipe… so here I am. You wont be blown away though, it’s pretty simple and yes, it involves a packet mix because I’m lazy and enjoy consistency. CHILLI MIX: 1x Chilli Con Carne Spice [...]

I don’t own polka dot stuff anymore. I went through a phase a few years ago prior to Aidan, my true love is florals. I had to borrow a stock item I used in a photo shoot to be able to participate this week. It’s a tankini top but because the support is so good [...]

I was on twitter last night just minding my own business when I was alerted to the fact that I was on TV in the USA… WHAT?!?!?! Apparently my Skorch Magazine Cover (Nov 2011) was featured on NuVo’s Curvy Girls TV show so of course I went looking to see if I could find it. [...]

Retro Races

I have a confession… I’ve never been to the races. I’m 27 but that’s not too late to the game surely? I put some feelers out a few months ago, gently suggesting it would be a fun thing to do and got no interest at all, nadda. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. I [...]
