From where I stand…
From where I stand… people are generally good and kind. From where I stand… the heat of Summer is a love/hate thing. From where I stand… every day is a new day and wasting it is just a little bit insane. From where I stand… nothing is more important than family. From where I stand……

Not So Maxi Maxi {She Wore What}
There is this thing when you are in the upper end of the height scale, I’m about 5’10, and it’s called the not so maxi maxi dress. It’s not even a deliberate thing by businesses, I don’t think. It’s a simple maxi dress that I’m just a wee bit too tall for it. All my tall ladies,…

Yesterday {was it then or was I that far out of the loop} it hit the interwebs that Kim Kardashian is expecting. The world is abuzz, the gossip world, that is. It got me thinking about Khloe. Khloe who doesn’t have a baby yet. Khloe who has seen two siblings have babies since she expressed…

Aussie Curves: Little Black Dress {She Wore What}
Little Black Dress week, heeeeey!? Well that I can do. Black dresses and I go together like peas and carrots. Like Champaign and New Years Eve. Like Christmas and a few extra kilos. Speaking of a few extra kilos, I would’ve sworn this dress fit perfectly before the festive season. Before a couple of weeks off the…
