Aussie Curves: Second-Hand
My mother is a real estate agent. In the 90’s she was well into her awarded career and had the power-suited wardrobe to prove it. Jackets with matching skirts everywhere. Jackets in general appear to be her thing. And during a recent clean out I grabbed three {maybe four} from her closet clean out and…

How to wear your NEW winter 2014 items now
The flush of new season winter 2014 items hit me like a sugar rush. I got all jumpy and excited. A little bit out of control. I plotted and planned hunched over the laptop poring over styles coming to a store near me! But how, when the temperatures are still HOT do you take advantage…

The Cut for Evans Plus-Size Blogger Review
Well you’ve heard it here before how the blogger ladies have become some of the best friends this girl could ever ask for. And the Queensland folks, well they just take the cake. They are like real life friends you can hang out with whenever you make a plan and swap clothes and stuff. It’s…

Underwhelmed. Overwhelmed.
I had been saying it’s been a loooooong month. But that long month has actually been a long 6 months. I have not stopped for a decent weekend at home with sleep, good home cooked food and laid off the booze in forever. So this weekend I did. I did it because my mind was…

Runway, like I said to the ladies on the Aussie Curves Facebook page, is like declaring that you believe that your outfit is current and trendy and awesome. Runway worthy. And what if you’re wrong!?

She Wore What: City Chic Summer Dress
I’ve been looking for easy to wear summer dresses for a while now. AGES in fact. I didn’t want anything fussy or annoying. I just wanted to be able to throw the dress on and go no matter where I was headed. No mess, no fuss and ABSOLUTELY no thinking. But it proved a difficult…

Afterglow AW14 17 Sundays
If you are out and about in the plus-size world then you will have seen the release yesterday of the new season range from 17 Sundays. Afterglow AW14. It’s hot, short version. I’m like a 17 Sundays brand whore, so I was all over that. I almost didn’t share it here given it’s been covered…

Plus-Size Swimming + Swimwear
I decided to write this post about a month ago. I’ve been finding my time in the pool the most refreshing and wonderful thing. I thought, heck I’m going to tell the folks that read the blog all about it. So here we are. Then an email landed in my inbox asking how I was…
