A Little Bit Retro {She Wore What}
Now these red jeans and I are besties these days. They are comfortable and look great with anything. They’re just a winner. I took these photos after wearing them all day and even though they are a bit baggier than I like them to be, you can blame them after more than 4 hours sitting…

Beach Days: Good for the Soul.
Sometimes life can be all kinds of hard work. There is a place that I always go when I need to rest, recharge and revive. All those important re type words. And lucky for me, my home town is pretty much surrounded by some of the world’s best. I go to the beach. I slop…

A Bit of a Jerk
Relationships are difficult sometimes. There is a push and a shove that comes from that necessary compromise type situation. In our house we talk over big purchases, we include the other in happening of the day, we don’t call the other at work unless it is absolutely necessary and we never, ever get a guinea pig or…

Aussie Curves: Leggings {She Wore What}
Leggings. I never wear them. Don’t own any. Horrible horrific things you’d never catch me dead in… Oh, wait. Whoops. I wear them almost daily in winter and under any skirt that’s a wee bit too short. Love, love them. But rather than my usual cardigan, dress, leggings and knee-high boots combo, I decided to…

The Colourful Strangers
As the sounds in this cafe build into a dull roar I wonder about all the people in it. I wonder about a lot of things. This you guys know. I wonder about their stories, their successes, their losses. The noise begins to quiet. I see a guy in orange pants, a purple t-shirt and…

Grandpa Loafer Casual {She Wore What}
I’ve never really done casual dressing very well. My Dad always said it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed and I think somewhere in my brain this took hold and ear wormed me. Sometimes it’s about old notions about plus-size women and I just don’t like to look sloppy. Short version? I don’t like being…

Oh no she didn’t…
It’s that time again. The time we talk about the assumptions people make when you have a particular sort of body. Now me, my body is fat and a wee bit muscley as well. I’m almost 6ft tall, and you guys know that I am moving on. Scene set as they say. One morning…

If I see another eCard I will SCREAM!
Well, you know. Unless the eCard is really really funny. Or talks to me a little. Or makes me feel like smiling on a tough day. Or wetting myself laughing when I’m already feeling good. Other than that, I’ll scream. Probably. Found on www.someecards.com.au – be preapred to waste some time on there. Enter at your…

Bribery makes the world go around.
In our house there’s a sort of barter system going. Mostly. I unpack the dishwasher. he packs it. I cook dinner, he takes out the garbage. I dirty the clothes, he washes them. You know, the usual give and take that is relationships. It’s normally a tit for tat type arrangement. Rarely does money exchange…
