Late yesterday afternoon I nervously headed to one of the local beauty salons to get eye lash extensions applied. If I’m honest I always thought it was a bit silly to pay upward of $100 every 2-3 weeks just for long lashes but after having what felt like permanent panda eyes during FFFWeek last year [...]

Camera Gear Packing

06:00AM | June 11, 2013 | 4 comments

Last year I failed to deliver on news whilst in New York, I felt horrible about it but I tried. I tried to share every little part of my trip but I felt a constant delay. A delay in editing, in finding the right words, in finding sleep. I realised that the way I planned [...]

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 [...]

Plus Size Fit

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 [...]

Ahhh the Full Figured Fashion Week White Cruise, it was last year but it feels like last week.

After spending the first day in NYC wandering close to our hotel my roomie Caitlin and I decided to go further up the block and explore a little more. I finally got to see Macy’s but I was too intimidated to go in, deciding it would be less crowded during the week. I was wrong [...]

Thong Free Zone

I was sponsored to attend FFFWeek 2012 by TS14+ It feels a bit weird to be talking about the end of FFFWeek without explaining all the fabulous things that happened in the middle but this post may be considered time critical. Before I fully explain myself I wanted to show you a happy photo of [...]

Misplaced in New York

09:16PM | January 4, 2013 | 18 comments

I am very aware that I’ve hardly spoken about NYC. There are several reasons I can give you as to why I haven’t but I’m not exactly sure which one is more true. You see something happened when I arrived (actually it was probably the second or third day) but it changed something within me. [...]

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. [...]

DMNYC Chicago on Broadway

03:25PM | July 3, 2012 | 11 comments

I never planned to go and see a Broadway show, it wasn’t on high on my priority list and I was worried about how much it would cost. Caitlin convinced me otherwise and I’ll be forever grateful that she did. She stood in line for 2 hours and bought tickets for us to go and [...]

No Cure For Perfectionism

10:12AM | June 28, 2012 | 3 comments

I’m sitting here on my couch rugged up under a blanket with the soft sounds for play school in the background, the only thing separating the boy from my lap since I returned from New York. I’ve been back for a week now and I’m extremely aware of the fact that I haven’t blogged in [...]
