Would 8 year old me be proud of present day me?
I was wondering the other day, as I watched minute after minute of landscape flash past the car window, if the child I was, the opinionated, trouble-maker with big dreams I was, would be proud of the woman I am. If she would have met me as a grown up and said you’re cool. A…

Aussie Curves: Hipster
Now, I had a decision to make… Would I go hipster as in the person or hipster as the style of pants just to be a smarty pants? No brainer for me really. Being long in the torso, hipster pants look a little pornographic on me. It’s awkward really all that belly and butt hanging…

Steal her Style: Cut Outs
The team at 17 Sundays released the items from their Autumn/Winter range featuring the cut outs and I was all swoonie mcswoon. It made me think, are there a lot of plus-size brands doing cut outs, sheer panels or details this year or is it just me? And as our northern neighbours head into spring…

More monochrome for rainy days.
Welcome Monday, right? I learnt a lot this weekend about myself, about my abilities and how quickly I turn to procrastination when it rains. I like snuggles on the couch and being cradled in Hubby’s arm. I like light layers and wasting time deciding what to wear when we really aren’t going anywhere at all.…

Simple dresses for changing seasons.
This time of year in Queensland we finally start to see a little bit of cooler weather. Maybe an afternoon breeze with a bit more chill or evenings that require light jackets. Woooo. Finally, right? Our southern neighbours have all this and more long before we do. But what it means is that I continue…

Aussie Curves: Pattern Clash
When the Aussie Curves ladies first took on Pattern Clash I was staying with Danielle at her place for a number of events and to just hang out. I mixed a stripe blazer with a chevron’ish dress and felt WAY out of my comfort zone. But I did it, the photos came out beautifully {derrr,…
