During my weekend {that was jam-packed with awesome but gee whiz I needed a nap Sunday} I received an email with a link to the new season lookbook from Australian plus size fashion brand, Harlow Australia. With the gorgeous Meagan as the face again this season {find her on Instagram here} they are rocking some looks that I just KNOW my work wardrobe will love.
And the repeat of the moto pants? We all know what a big fan I am. Outfit after outfit has been made with these Moto pants. If you wanted a chic basic for your wardrobe, try these. I know you won’t be disappointed. Are you ready to take a look at the new stuff? Yes? Well, let’s roll.
Harlow Autumn/Winter, here we come.
How is THAT for new season goodness? Great right? The team at Harlow tells me that items will start to arrive from now through until May. Check out the New Arrivals section of their website for updates.
(2020 Edit: A lot of these items have become staples of the Harlow brand and can still be found online now. Head to their website to find out more).
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
I was wondering where I could go to see the woman in the collage photos of her outfits? I’m a plus size woman an seriously Love her styles shown because its styles I see myself wearing an I’m trying to change from basic tshirts an Jean’s an sneakers to more styled cloths to fit my new perspective of myself. It’s taken me years to Really see myself an have better self esteem an I really want to have the style to fit it, if that makes sense? I’m great at picking cloths to match others personality but was never good at it for myself till recently.
This post is a few years old now, they may be using a new model, but the brand still exists. Head to https://www.harlowstore.com/ – There is a lot of inspiration there too, if this is a still you like! Enjoy. 🙂
I would DIE if I was able to come!! All that fashion just gets my blood pumping! I couldn’t imagine a better place to mingle with like minded beauties, make friends and talk about my most favourite thing in the world!
If you had tickets WOULD you come? Are you entering? Or didn’t it work out for you this time? Let me know so I can either count your entry or not hun.
And you’re so right! So many women who are just going to GET IT, you know? Really get it. Can’t wait.
I have always been plus size. During my teen years it was all about wearing the all black outfits, loose cut tops and undeniably bad fitting pants…. I get cold chills thinking about it! Yeop! I was that girl surrounded by plus size women who were not body proud and felt safe hiding behind baggy shirts and loose fitting stretch pants (cringe!).
Not until my 20s and meeting some very inspirational plus size girls I have learnt to flaunt it! I have found the confidence to step into my sexy black dress and step out into the world!
Over the last 12 months I ventured out into the world if asos curve, Harlow, 17 Sundays and city chic. I look great! I am never going back!
During my latest fashion adventure I have found Plus size models are less of a rarity on catwalks these days, however, models are often presented as an exotic addition to a show rather than a signifier of change. Now it is Australia’s turn to take on the challenge! We should be at the forefront of change!
A designer from London’s plus size fashion week says
“All girls like lace, sequins, orange leopard print, crop tops – that kind of thing. Some people say bigger women shouldn’t wear this kind of thing but we but we don’t listen to those people.”
They are right! I am not listening to these people anymore!
Curvy couture is that change and weather it is VIP or GA I will be there cheering the girls on!
Love it! Sooooo wonderful. Love the quote you shared, it’s so perfect. Love it. Good luck!
I am soooo nervous and excited at the same time for Sunday. I am a fashion show virgin. Never had the confidence or know how to attend one. I have a GA ticket as I thought I wouldnt be the right “type” to sit in the VIP section. As I am *cough* 50 and after stumbling across your facebook page my whole attitude towards plus size fashion is changing. I have fallen in love with the Harlow brand, 17 Sundays, Asos Curve to name a few. I would never have heard of any of them if not for you. I now dont feel like all the eyes are staring at the fat chick who walks into a crowded room looking like a slob in her oversized clothing. I now walk in with a lot more confidence. Its still scary but now I can cope. I am bringing a girlfriend with me who is also a fashion show virgin. She is counting down the sleeps! I have even ebraced the stripes! Suger, I soooo would like to meet you on Sunday and give you a hug. All I can say with all my heart is Thank you. Carolyn x
Can’t wait. A hug sounds amazing. Let’s do that. I’m glad to hear your confidence is increasing through fashion and all the wonderful women who share their style online. SO great. Good luck!
First off how brilliant is Harlow?! Their new collection is fab.
I’m so excited about the curvy couture roadshow. It’s so amazing to see the Australia’s plus size fashion being show cased front and centre at this event. as someone who is plus sized, its great to see this event hosting some of Australia’s hottest plus labels. And lets be honest who doesn’t love a good fashion event. If you were talking to me a year ago, I would’ve shyed away from this kind of event but with the help of following amazing, inspiring women and being a part of Aussie Curves I have grown to love my life just that little bit more and embrace (and further explore) my personal style leaving me all the more fashion and life empowered. So I hope my answer isn’t too sappy, I’m just really blessed and proud to be part of the plus size revolution in the fashion industry.
So brilliant. Very exciting!
I love this. Not too sappy at ALL. And I totally agree. I’m so glad you are stepping outside of your comfort zone. See you there!! 😀
Love, love Harlow. What a great label?! I would buy all of these if it was within my budget. If I have to limit myself to one piece, and I think I have to, it will be the black and white skirt with the side split.
I hear you loud and clear. Sometimes I look at the lookbooks and I just sigh because I know I have to choose. And I’m lucky enough to get a lot of my wardrobe supplemented! Nice choice on the skirt, it’s gorgeous.
