A friend invited me to her place for tea and nibbles today and we ended up on floor cushions eating yummy peanut butter biscuits, grapes and egg sandwiches. Lovely. I also picked up a Torrid dress that I ordered through Mel! Shipping to Australia is ridiculous so we have to resort to group orders in…

Battle boots on.
I had my second session with the new psychologist this afternoon and I felt like wearing boots with this floral skirt. Something about feeling vulnerable yet wanting to appear tough; and of course my emotional inhibition was discussed in the session amongst a bunch of things, eep… but he liked my watch! Today is International…
Raising my cup.
This post is about my reflections on using a menstrual cup over the last few months. It’ll be a frank discussion of the pros and cons of using the cup, so if you’re not keen for a bit of chat about menstruation and the various ways I’ve dealt with it I suggest clicking away! When…
My body, my clothes and my blog.
Documenting my outfits regularly for Fa(t)shion February was interesting. I encountered resistance in my head on a few levels, mostly when it came to taking photos of every day, around the house outfits and on other days when I just didn’t feel like getting dressed at all. When you blog about fashion, or fatshion in…
Fa(t)shion February – Wherein I get my head squeezed.
It’s the last day of Fat(t)shion February and even though I don’t feel like telling you about this day or the clothes that covered me throughout it, I feel like I need to. Because some days I don’t want to pick clothes to wear. It’s just too hard. Some days I just pull on random…
Fa(t)shion February – It’s easy being #00545b
Today I am very red across my shoulders and back and I decided to wear green, referencing colour theory as red and green are complementary colours. Actually, I wore a sports bra because I thought it’d hurt my sore skin less and I needed a t-shirt that would cover it and the only t-shirt I…
Fa(t)shion February – Beware the siren call of the mermaid ballerina.
Yesterday I headed out with 7 friends on a BBQ boat adventure! Nick really loves the whole BBQ boat thing and organised a day out on the Tweed River. We are so fortunate to have so much great stuff near where we live – even though the Tweed is technically over the border in NSW,…
Fa(t)shion February – Seeing the doctor, must be Thursday.
Fa(t)shion February is rolling along and there’s only four more days left! I wonder how many more outfit photos I can cram in? We’re going on a boat trip on Saturday and there will likely be lots of outfit photos of lovely people in togs :D Today I went to the doctor. I go every…
Fa(t)shion February – New shoes and itchy eyes.
ALLERGIES. WHY? I never had allergies when I was a kid, besides a bit of allergic asthma (I don’t even know what that is), but in the last few years I’ve started having allergies and sinus problems. It’s unfair and painful! Nick dragged me out of the house for coffee and so he could buy…
Fa(t)shion February – For whiter whites and brighter brights.
So here’s something different. Me doing house work. And me wearing regular civvies instead of my armour of fance and make up and hair. (That’s what it really feels like.) I figure if Fa(t)shion February is about what femmes and friends wear, then I need to represent myself when I’m not feeling especially glamorous. It…
