Oprah Winfrey {Steal Her Style}
There are few woman as recognisable as Ms Oprah Winfrey. After decades on television I know that for me Oprah feels like the aunt I wish I had {not that there’s anything wrong with the ones I have!}. Strong, powerful and with an empire under her belt it always amazed me that when it came…

I AM the rain maker.
It turns out that I am probably for blame when it comes to the recent flooding in Gympie. Well, at least 18 months worth of it anyway. This was proven this morning when for the first time in almost a month I washed my car yesterday. It was as disgraceful as you are probably imagining.…

Aussie Curves: Work {She Wore What}
Well, well, well would you look at THAT. This week the Aussie Curves ladies are showing off their work style and if there’s one thing I do a fair bit, that’s put together work outfits. Bundles and bundles of them. Lots and lots. From dressy to casual and back again. Sometimes my office seems really…

At what cost?
I’ve been talking to a few ladies recently about the manufacturing practices of some Australian brands as discussed during the Four Corners story shown on ABC a month or two ago. I watched it on iView, I’m not sure if it’s still there. It’s well worth a watch if you want to change the way…

Having thoughts.
I have all these thoughts lately. Concerns and thoughts and ideas. I have at least 15 drafts of ranty, topical posts but I don’t finish them. I wonder sometimes why that is. After all I have a lot to say. I want to effect some change in the world. Make a difference and all of…

Magda Szubanski {Steal Her Style}
Welcome back to Steal Her Style. This week I’m featuring the first Aussie lady for your style stealing fun! {edit: whoops, I forgot Rebel. My bad} I have found it really difficult to locate photos of outfits for Aussie plus size celebrities. In fact, most of the outfits can be found only when they are…

You just put them on.
I received an email today. It mention a comment on one of my instagram photos. It was one of me wearing the floral pants pictured above. The commenter said, I’d love to wear pants like that. And I responded with, it’s pretty easy, you just buy them and pull them on. A little bit cheeky,…

Aussie Curves: Celebration {She Wore What}
Well hello there Aussie Curve’ers! This week’s theme is celebrate because somehow between the this and the that we managed to make it through an entire YEAR of themes. I’m pretty sure I participated in all but 2 or 3 which I’m pretty sure makes me the nerd of the class. The one who brings…

Beautiful on the outside.
Yes I’m talking to you. No I’m not joking. Yes you are beautiful. Of course you are. Are you mad!? I get sick of people saying that inner beauty matters {sure it DOES, but hang in there} over outer beauty. Being a good person is important. Having principles and standards matters. But the crazy part…
