Why I’m not a ‘not like other girls’ girl, anymore.
Wow, confusing title, right? My bad. This post is about me being ‘not like other girls’ and why I gave that up and embraced female friendships and empowerment. Taking the time to reflect this International Women’s Day, I wanted to acknowledge where I’ve come from and where I’m going. I’ve always been a Feminist, long…

I’ve put on weight, and people are weird about it.
It’s true. I’ve put on weight, and people are weird about it. But not in the way that you’d think they would be. Perhaps you’re imagining well-meaning folks giving me weight-loss tips or advice on dieting. Well, nope. That hasn’t happened. What has happened goes a little something like this; Me & Them: Some description of…

Why sharing your experience isn’t attention seeking.
It’s been a big month for me. Lots of post sharing and commentary about my blog and the way I cover topics here. I watched as my words were taken out of my hands and placed in the hands of others. That’s the scary part of visibility; you really can’t control how people see you.…

Dying my hair grey and maintaining the colour
I know you guys are curious about me dying my hair grey. There are always questions and comments about it when I share a photo on Facebook or Instagram pages. And I’m not going to sugarcoat it; it’s a pain in the butt sometimes. Grey is probably the hardest colour I’ve ever tried to maintain,…

Team Stripes in Casual Grey and Black
This week I’ve been approached regarding three denim and jean launches, which is great news for my business, but maaaaan, it’s a billion degrees. And yes I know this is content for the cooler months to come, but I can’t help but think do I have to? Haha. It’s hot. And when it’s hot, you’ll…

Making a case for the “Little White Dress”
I know we all LOVE our little black dresses. So easy, so simple and always so cool. But there is one hundred a case to be made for the little white dress. And I don’t even mean just in summer, either. The little white dress is becoming a must-have in my wardrobe, and here’s why…

Are we really surprised about body shaming in pageants?
Miss Canada sends a message to body shamers. Miss Canada, Siera Bearchell, was everywhere last night. While scrolling the interwebs late last night, I couldn’t sleep, I’d over-napped. That headline jumped out at me from not one, but multiple locations. Shamed for her larger body. Trolled, hitting back at the condemnation of her body, is…

Umm, what? The Palm Print Summer Dress
I know, team; try not to die of shock. This is easily the most colour we’ve seen outfit-wise in a LONG TIME. It’s not my fault; I don’t wear much colour. I like it that way. But when I received this dress from a friend (who happens to own the brand in question), I knew…

My first outfit post of 2017!
Welcome back, ladies and gentleman. Here we are, and it’s already the end of January. Some fashion bloggers had their first outfit posts live on New Years Day. I envy those people; I used to be organised like them. Ahhh, the good old days. But enough of that lamenting the good old days, let’s get…

Because glorifying obesity, that’s why.
There’s this thing that happens when you blog about plus size fashion and combine it with confidence and body positivity. People will tell you that through doing that, you are glorifying obesity. That I am waving a flag and saying hey you, you should be fat too; look how happy I am! But here’s…
