Time for an update!
I realised today it was time for an update, you know if you are crazy enough not to read your Suger News every week (gosh!). A few things have been happening for us, and I’ve been dealing with a few things personally that are impacting the way I create things. So given that you’re my…

Dry July 2019; Let’s do this.
Firstly, this post was supposed to be finished yesterday. I took a nap instead. Kel wasn’t well over the weekend, some sort of cold situation which I appear to have picked up. I feel off, a little ick, but not enough to warrant a day in bed. You know? Anyway, suffice to say, a wine…

Plus-Size didn’t exist at Australian Fashion Week, apparently.
Last week was Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia for those playing at home. Exciting times, right? The fashion world hosts dinners and parties, runways and events. And BIG surprise, pun intended, there is not a visibly plus-sized woman to be seen. It’s disappointing, and as runways (and street style photography) worldwide get real with what fashion…

The way women talk needs to change
I heard them in a cafe. Then again on the footpath, as I walked to my car and in line to pay for petrol at the service station. Women, talking about other women and bodies, fat and diets. I wonder if I’m more prone to hearing these conversations because it’s such a big part of…

I’m just determined to update you more often on what’s going on around here. The Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad was great, but I’m sure you’re wondering how the…

It turns out we are all exactly who we were before that magical step through into 2019. As much as I prepare for that moment when nothing magically changes, I’m always here a little miffed…

You don’t HAVE to Christmas
What if I told you that you don’t HAVE to Christmas? How would that make you feel? If it’s even a tiny bit relieved let’s talk for a minute, if you would. I know what this time of year can be like. The stress and pressure, the expectations and traditions to uphold. It’s a lot.…

Hear Us Roar Pop Up, Brisbane
Friday night the ladies and I popped into the Hear Us Roar pop-up shop. What an amazing night! As a stockist of a massive selection of Australian plus size fashion (size 12 – 26) to be able to go into a pop-up has been a popular strategy for the brand. They’ve done Melbourne, Sydney and…
