Aussie Curves – Spike

Thumbnail image for 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 – 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 [...]

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

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 [...]

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 [...]

The Vogue Factor

Late Wednesday night I received a call from Chelsea Bonner of Bella Models, she wanted to know if I’d like to attend Kirstie Clements “The Vogue Factor” book launch the following night… um, sure you know, whatever. I almost died. A vogue party full of vogue people at a vogue location, sipping vogue drinks, all [...]

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 [...]

Summer Brights at Target

This post is sponsored by Target Australia. There is something splendid about summer and even though I’m strapped for cash (the new couch was finally delivered!) I didn’t want that to stop me from living fabulously. Usually I’d be quite content hiding away inside with the air conditioner but with Stephanie here I seem to [...]

Aussie Curves – Mixing Patterns

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Mixing Patterns

My eyes hurt just looking at this post. I guess that wasn’t really the point of this week’s theme “Mixing Patterns” but I don’t blame the outfit, it’s the lurid acid lime green walls at my local shopping center car park. Suger took these photos for me and it seemed like a good idea at [...]

I’m just a little overwhelmed, I still can’t believe it. There it is, the very first SWIM Lookbook and my first attempt at digital publishing… please be kind. I’ll come back later in the week once I’ve recovered and tell you more about the whole experience. For now just click, view, enjoy and then come [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Aussie Curves – Polka Dots

Thumbnail image for Aussie Curves – Polka Dots

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 [...]

Wow, you guys really loved last week’s theme “Tribal”, I was totally blown away by the response. This week’s theme is “Stripes” and would you believe I didn’t pack a single striped garment when I went to Hayman! Such a beautiful place for photos and I had nothing to wear! Tragic I know but this [...]

Aussie Curves – Leggings

This week it’s all about Leggings and aren’t these total crackers! I’m loving the floral pant/legging trend at the moment, if you look in any magazine you’ll see them. I wasn’t sure if I could pull them off but since I have an undying love of florals it was a risk I was willing to [...]

It was my third night in NYC and Caitlin and I had been invited out to have Chinese for dinner with Jessica from Too Many Sequins and a few of her friends. I’ll admit I haven’t talked to that many international bloggers, just the few who have been around about as long as I have [...]

At NuffNang Fashionopolis last weekend I took the time during lunch to photograph a few of my twitter peeps who were in attendance. I planned on just emailing the photos to them but I really wanted to share their gorgeousness with you all. Enjoy! Inspired Wish Smaggle Omega Check out the official photos from NuffNang [...]

On the 24th of March 2007 a girl married a boy and for the following five years they lived happily in love. Just in case you were wondering I was the girl and the boy was Steve. To celebrate 9 years together and 5 years of marriage we went over budget and splurged on a [...]
