Last week was Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia for those playing at home. Exciting times, right? The fashion world hosts dinners and parties, runways and events. And BIG surprise, pun intended, there is not a visibly plus-sized woman to be seen. It’s...

Friday night the ladies and I popped into the Hear Us Roar pop-up shop. What an amazing night! As a stockist of a massive selection of Australian plus size fashion (size 12 – 26) to be able to go into a pop-up has been a popular strategy for the brand....
