Are we a yes to a plaid vest?
Well of course we are! The plaid shirt or vest is essential this winter. Absolutely. I still remember seeing it appear online and in shows and thinking I’m not so sure about this. It reminds me of grunge nineties hair {not a good thing} and boys who smell like sweat and cigarettes {sort of a…

You can’t outrun bad choices.
Lately I’ve been feeling run down. Tired and full of the blahs. I sigh a lot, apparently. The quiet of my new office has shown me that. I’ve had such an amazing start to the year, there has been so much to do, so many people to see, things to celebrate and general making memories…

Simple dresses for changing seasons.
This time of year in Queensland we finally start to see a little bit of cooler weather. Maybe an afternoon breeze with a bit more chill or evenings that require light jackets. Woooo. Finally, right? Our southern neighbours have all this and more long before we do. But what it means is that I continue…

But I tried to love my body and it’s just not that easy!
I read this amazing article about the five things the author feels the body positive movement needs to move forward. I found myself nodding in agreement the entire time. I too cringe a little when people are adamant that ALL people are beautiful, that there’s someone out there for everyone, horse for courses and all…

Aussie Curves: Pattern Clash
When the Aussie Curves ladies first took on Pattern Clash I was staying with Danielle at her place for a number of events and to just hang out. I mixed a stripe blazer with a chevron’ish dress and felt WAY out of my comfort zone. But I did it, the photos came out beautifully {derrr,…
