Being Brave {She Wore What}
My style is pretty classic. Straight lines, basic combinations and lots of black I blame years of working in corporate environments where the majority of money spent on my wardrobe was spent on black or charcoal suits, pinstripe button ups and modest heels. Mostly modest heels. It’s taken me YEARS to add a bit of colour and fun to…

Aussie Curves: Time Saver {She Wore What}
Time saver week for Aussie Curves meant one thing for me, what do I wear when I need to get out the door fast. There could only be one outfit for today and that’s the maxi dress. The more stripes the better I think. I throw them on, loop around a belt or throw on…

Why did you have kids? Or want them?
I read this article titled “what not to say to a childless woman” by Wendy Squires at http://www.theage.com.au today, and it became my best friend. Because it says so much that I’d love to say but worry that by saying, I might hurt the feelings of someone who meant well. I had no idea what…

Spots & Stripes {She Wore What}
There are only a few things that are frowned upon in my office in terms of the dress code. I like to think that I’ve changed their mind on both of them. The first is colour and the second is sleeveless attire. When I first arrived I was reminded almost weekly of the dress code.…

Budget Fashionista: Reuse, Restyle, Recycle & Sell {Part 4}
Today’s post is all about making the most of what you have, adding unique pieces to your wardrobe and turning over old clothes for new ones. Like Talia said the other day, sometimes you just have ZERO budget for new clothes. For me, there’s just nothing more depressing that staring into a wardrobe and not…

Are muscles the new hipbones?
In the nineties it was all about being the thinnest version of yourself. Collar bones, hip bones, ribs. the more bone on display the better. Addict chic and all that. Bit by bit over the past decade we have rallied against it. Rallied against the unrealistic expectation that is the ability of all woman to…

Thai Inspired Pork Noodle Soup.
When grocery day arrives with all the buying, the carrying, the loading and unloading, packing and unpacking no one EVER feels like cooking. EVER. There’s all this fresh beautiful produce sitting there staring at us and cooking takes effort we can’t really muster. BUT there’s one thing that helps, saves us from ourselves and the pizza menu…

Dressed Up. Dressed Down. {She Wore What}
I’m a sucker for winter. I’m also a sucker for believing it’s colder than it is and then being over layered up. Hence this outfit that I ended up scaling back before the end of our outing. Phew. Hot. This outfit though pretty much represents ALL my favourite things. Blue, jeans, button up, woolen jumpers, big hair…

Running for Big Girls or Newbies.
Here’s some things I learnt about running, or as I like to call it, power shuffling, when you’re carrying extra weight. Let’s face it, if you are fat {I tried to find more delicate words, it turns out there was no clearer way to say it, so there you go} running can be very stressful…

The guy with the iPhone soundtrack.
I was in the bank the other day there was a man in his late twenties, slouchy pants, truckers cap and sick beats emanating from his pants pocket. I assume it was his pocket. Gosh I hope it was his pocket. And I assume they were sick beats, I really don’t know much about townie…
