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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Plus Size Activewear

I love activewear, it’s comfy, often bright and makes me feel energetic when I wear it. I’ve shared a few posts about gear I love so when Nicole, one of my lovely readers, asked me where she could find plus size activewear I thought it would be a great thing to expand on. I started [...]

Today I want to take you on a visual journey, to share one of my new favourite places in my town and my outfit from this week’s challenge. I wont speak much because there’s too much to say and often when that happens it’s better to say nothing at all… enjoy! Velvet Dress - Damn You [...]

I’m a little bit behind this week, actually I’m cutting it quite fine and publishing my post just before the linky closes for the “Nature” challenge. I’ve been busy, it happens. A few ladies who haveve entered the challenge late are actually making an effort to go right back and do the ones they’ve missed [...]

Room to Write

Space at my house is at a premium. Each square inch has to be functional or at the very least clutter free. When Stephanie came to live with us for a few months my studio was turned into a guest room and a dumping ground. After she left I reclaimed it as my studio but [...]

Aussie Curves – Texture

When I saw that this week’s theme was “Texture” I instantly knew what I’d be wearing, there was no doubt about it. This dress is one of my favourites but it’s an “occasional dress”. Why? Well, because it’s so damn delicate! There is a slip underneath to keep me modest but the overall dress is [...]

Aussie Curves – Secondhand

If you know me, you know I love op shopping, visiting vintage and thrift stores is kind of my thing. In the last couple of years I went a little crazy, draggin home every old chair, painting and nicknack I fancied. Soon my house was filled to the brim and Steve asked me to stop. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I always knew that for this week’s theme “Blue” I would wear this skirt. I have so many blue items but this one is always my standout piece. It’s super comfy with stretchy fabric and a great length for me going all the way from my waist to my knee. I usually layer it with [...]

I love my job, especially when they take me to places like Hayman Island. I kissed my boys goodbye and I was off. I was there all last week and whilst the island was beautiful I’m not going to lie, it was hard work. I had 50kgs of swimwear, jewellery, shoes and a just a [...]

I’m in denial that Aidan turns three today. That everyday he grows older, smarter, cuter. That soon he’ll be travelling the world, falling in love and breaking hearts… … but I may just be getting ahead of myself. Happy Birthday Little Dude. Always remember: “A is for Aidan, A is for Awesome.” Love Mumma xx

Sponsored by Nuffnang Australia Earlier this year you might remember that BIG W gave Aidan a voucher for some boys clothes and then we all headed out and had a rough and tumble photoshoot with Rachel Devine. It was probably one of the more memorable family sponsored posts I’ve done so when they contacted me [...]

As I mentioned in my last post about Ellie, I participated in a swap with a few special ladies. We each had to made three little gifts to send out to one another, all relating to Blythe in some way. I’d never participated in a Blythe swap before and it was quite nerve wrecking being [...]

Aidan started going to swimming lessons again with Steve as his support person. He was nervous at first but as soon as he saw the water he was so excited. Steve was a little nervous too as he’s not a great swimmer but you couldn’t tell. You couldn’t wipe the smile off their faces. It [...]
