One Dress – 3 Ways

Thumbnail image for One Dress – 3 Ways

I’ve been thinking a lot about my wardrobe lately and as I get ready to head off to New York, planning outfits and thinking of the types of things I’d like to buy, I realised that I’m slowly curating my wardrobe. Now don’t get me wrong, I know wardrobes are meant to be ever evolving [...]

Aussie Curves – Feminine

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Feminine

Strike the world with beauty and behold it in your hands for all to see. Owner of your reflection and all that makes up the atoms of your existence. With grace, power and a silent preoccupation with an understanding of how things are. What they could be. How they could be. A woman’s mind is not only [...]

It’s a Girl Thing

A few weeks ago I headed into the city really really early to work out… I’m serious. I’m not a morning person so I’m still in shock that I actually managed to make the train and stay awake for the entire journey in and then punch out a work out. Did I mention I’d be [...]

I live in a beautiful part of the country called The Hawkesbury, about an hour out of Sydney and as much as I complain about the commute in for events and how much I lust for a little townhouse in city I’m also secretly head over heels with where we live. It’s full of rolling hills, rivers [...]

Aussie Curves – Spike

I didn’t own anything suitable for spike week so for the first time in awhile I had to head to the op shops and jewellery stores to find accessories to pull off the look I wanted. If in doubt pull out your little black dress and accessorise ladies which is exactly what I did. That’s [...]

Aussie Curves – Green

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Green

Since I recently dared myself to wear a bright green dress and loved myself silly in it, I’ve been on a mission to add more green to my wardrobe. I’d never worn anything from New Zealand label Lucabella before so when they contacted me out of the blue and asked if I’d be interested in trying [...]

Brr… winter is definitely coming but I’m loving it. Autumn is my favourite time of year, the sky is filled with honeycomb light, the trees glow, the air is filled with a mix of smoke and dewy grass and best of all I get to wear layers. Toss the heels and trade them in for [...]

Thumbnail image for Lane Bryant – Fashion Style Off

Full Figured Fashion Week is just around the corner and I can’t even begin to tell you how jam packed the schedule is despite extra days being added this year. Lane Bryant is hosting an event just for bloggers and stylists during the festivities and I was lucky enough to be chosen to attend. One [...]

Aussie Curves – Sequins

I don’t know about you but I window shop online more than I’d like to admit. I’m the kind of person who’ll gaze for hours, putting things in my cart only to leave them there abandoned. I never seem to suffer buyers remorse as I’ve usually agonised over the purchase for weeks. Sometimes a piece [...]

Aussie Curves – Leather

This gorgeous skirt is the very first leather garment that’s graced my wardrobe and I’m not sure I could ever part with it. I’ve had it for about a year and when I wear it I feel expensive and edgy. Sometimes you need that, like when you’re going out to a new place with new [...]

Like a Lady

Thumbnail image for Like a Lady

I like being a lady who luches, especially on a Monday when I’m usually working. There’s something to be said about escaping from normality, getting dressed up and eating delicious food. It’s good for the soul. It’s even better when you do it with friends. The lovely team at Appliances Online held a gorgeous brunch [...]

Nespresso High Coffee

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a coffee drinker but on the odd occasion where I’ve found myself in a cafe for a meeting and surprisingly a raspberry “Spider” isn’t a fitting beverage, I’ve dabbled with lattes and mochas. So when someone lovely from Nespresso (who also happens to be a direct link to George Clooney) invites [...]

Don’t be Blue

Thumbnail image for Don’t be Blue

One of the things I’ve loved about Aussie Curves is that every single week not only is my wardrobe challenged but I’m challenged on an emotional level too. I’m not saying that each week I’m experiencing an extreme personal growth breakthrough but it’s enabled me to notice patterns in my behaviour and attitude toward my [...]

I was gifted an LG Optimus G Smartphone and given the option to give one away. I was not paid for this post and as usual all thoughts and opinions are my own. Most of the time when I get invited to attend events I have an idea of how it will play out but [...]

I work from home, usually in front of my laptop in my studio but I still have to venture out and do mundane things like go to the post office, buy bread and pick Aidan up from preschool. Usually I’m juggling lots of tasks at once and they’re all crammed into a day and it’s [...]

I published the 9th issue of my beloved little miniMAG tonight and as the weeks go by more and more people are signing up so I wanted to take a moment to let you to know it’s making my heart sing, thank you! I’m still playing with it, seeing which days suit, what content you [...]

A few Sunday’s ago we attended our first proper little kids birthday party. When we’ve attended in the past Aidan’s been much younger and didn’t move around much so this was a totally different ball game. The birthday girl was adorable in her little tutu and all the kids ran and danced about the hall [...]

Once upon a time in 2012 four grown up princesses with two many suitcases tried to room together in a tiny two bed suite in the middle of New York City. They only had a little money so they couldn’t afford anything bigger but they did have a pocket full of dreams. One day princess [...]

Aussie Curves – Heels

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Heels

I’m not really a heels girl. Ok, that’s I lie. I think they’re the most beautiful, perfect posturing things for your feet but they’re also the most painful. I’m not in a habit of conditioning myself into believing that heel induced pain is ok so when I do buy them they usually stay in the [...]

There are lots of little events that happen during Full Figured Fashion Week® and the Curves in the City shopping event is one of them. It’s open to the public, advance purchase tickets only cost $10 USD and it’s well worth checking out. I’m glad to see that the event will be available again this [...]

It’s been so nice outside lately and I haven’t been taking advantage of it as I’ve felt so miserable. I’m changing my habits and trying to shake off the clouds. So today Steve hung out the laundry, Aidan ran about with Charlie and I whipped on my activewear and decided to try something new. My [...]

Last year I was lucky enough to be chosen as a Full Figured Fashion Week® Official Blogger on the “Fashion Front“. Not only was it an honour to be recognised but it also put me in a position where I had access to all the events, priority seating and admittance, not to mention I had a pivotal position for [...]

On Saturday I was meant to head into the city to attend a fancy PR event. I did my hair, put my face on and got dressed. Steve and Aidan drove me to the train station but as I sat in the car, cradling my cold and seeing their soft warm faces I took a [...]

I’d like to start by saying that I usually sleep in the nude but I feel I’ve been naked enough on the internet for the time being so I’ll show you my go-to PJs set. I’m also wearing a bra and that usually doesn’t happen either. I’m practically a nudist when I’m at home, I’ve [...]

This is my studio wardrobe, not exactly glamorous but it does the job, the majority of my clothes are stored in my bedroom wardrobe. This is an ever evolving space where I keep my high rotation accessories, latest PR garments and new clothes I’ve yet to share in an outfit post. Being able to see [...]

Usually I take my outfit photos on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon about 4-5pm in full shade. This weekend I didn’t have that luxury and crammed in my photos at 11am between Aidan’s playdate and my Blog Chic’s blogger meet up event. The lighting conditions aren’t ideal but I just went with it and had [...]
