Cool Change

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

LG Optimus G Giveaway

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 [...]

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Timesaver

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Aussie Curves – Pyjamas

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Pyjamas

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 [...]

Into the Woods

Last year I worked on a few photography projects and this is the last of them that I’m finally able to share with you. I photographed Kirsty (dark wood nymph) and Amy (light wood nymph) in a small plantation in Richmond, the same place I photographed Delphina for the lingerie shoot. It was a lot [...]

Aussie Curves – Maxi Dress

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Maxi Dress

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 [...]

Aussie Curves – Androgynous

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Androgynous

So I had planned for my Androgynous photos to be taken at the Aussie Curves meet up on Saturday but I forgot how many I’d need and I felt awkward asking Jo to take them for me. I also figured posting just one photo when you’re so used to “the many angles of me” wouldn’t [...]

Aussie Curves – Belts

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Belts

Belts have a way of highlighting the shape of a woman. The right belt can make or break an outfit. I have a few favourites that I could never part with and this is one of them. It’s big, bulky and awesome. It feels like a mini corset and to be completely honest it makes [...]

Aussie Curves – Body Con

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Body Con

Endo and Body Con, what a terrible twist of fate. I’m just scraping in this week’s challenge as I’ve been completely out of sorts for days. Think PJs, hot wheat bag and Nurofen+ so the thought of slipping into a body con dress had me breaking out into a sweat. Normally I don’t wear spanx [...]

Aussie Curves – Military

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Military

This week’s theme is Military and I guess you wouldn’t pick it unless I told you. One of the things I love about Aussie Curves is that the challenges are all open to interpretation. I don’t really own anything military so I was stumped. I knew I wanted to shop-my-wardrobe so I stared at what I [...]

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 [...]

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Animalistic

This week really was a challenge for me, I’m not a fan of animal print at all. At one point I did think of skipping it but you know, since Aussie Curves is my thing I should push the envelope a bit and get out of my comfort zone. It was 6pm on Sunday, about [...]

Aussie Curves – Black & White

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Black & White

The black and white fashion combination is truly a girls best friend and there are millions of ways you can incorporate it into your look. After staring at my wardrobe for awhile I decided to go all out in one of my favourite maxi dresses from Crossroads. It has a simple silhouette, a great neckline, stretchy fabric, a [...]

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 [...]

Aussie Curves – Swimwear

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Swimwear

There’s something about swimwear that gets women all choked up but for me these days I just slap the stuff on, adjust the girls and go. This is not the first time the internet has seen me in a pair of togs and I’m sure it wont be the last. I’m not a Victoria’s Secret [...]

Aussie Curves – Purple

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Purple

Wow, I can’t believe we’re already at 26 weeks, halfway through the challenge! This week’s theme is purple and at first I was positively stumped, I had no idea what I would wear. I like purple, I appreciate purple but I just don’t find myself wearing it very often. I recently thrifted a silky purple [...]

Aussie Curves – Texture

Thumbnail image for 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 [...]

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. [...]

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Feathers

Last week’s theme was Little Black Dress and because I was totally uninspired due to the holidays and the searing heat it was the very first week I didn’t post an outfit. I’m making it up to you this week though for “Feathers” by dressing in an all black ensemble with simple gold accessories… it [...]

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Bling

I was really looking forward to this week’s challenge but as with most things lately it was left to the last minute. Stephanie and I dressed up in our best bling and headed out to take photos. Finding a location presented it own challenge but as soon as I saw the giant trees covered in candy [...]
