The Design Files posted photos of Scott Weston‘s gorgeous home and work. The colours are stunning and there’s even a wallpaper by Florence Broadhurst, be still my beating heart. Beautiful sketches by Frank Frazetta, who passed away recently. If I had to write anything about these drawings I would probably die blushing, so I will…

Thanks Nigella, food is pretty awesome!
When you talk about hard issues, like body image and being fat and feminism, it’s nice to have a refuge. Somewhere to recoop lost Sanity Points. A little place where you don’t have to justify why you have the right to take up space, or field the same old tired questions. Nigella Lawson is one…
Links across the bloggiverse
I’m quite chuffed at all the fabulous links in last week’s link post, and I invite you again to submit your best blog entry of the week! Round up your mates and get them to submit one of their favourite posts, or you can nominate a great link on behalf of someone too.
Love ya Mum
Today is Mother’s Day in Australia, so my family had lunch together. It was kids (mostly all grown up now!), Mums, Dads and Grandmothers with everyone bringing a plate of something yummy. It’s nice to share meals like this, and I often take for granted how great and big my family is. I made some…
City Chic Bourke St happenings
I know a lot of plus size bloggers love a bit of Aussie plus size brand City Chic so I couldn’t resist posting these photos of the Bourke St store refit. I always check out City Chic in Bourke St when I’m in Melbourne because I find things there that I’ve never seen at the…
Wherein I wear clothes in another city
I’ve had a pretty exciting week, and not all of it due to the crazy amount of blog love (and a bit of stern e-disapproval!) This past few days I’ve been in Melbourne taking part in a body image project and meeting the fabulous Jacqui, and then last night I got news that I will…
Friday Fance: Dripping with Fance
Love these beaded rosettes! I am pretty inspired to see if I can make myself something similar. Lots of something similar, and cover myself in them! This is from a photoshoot done for Numéro #112, and found via Amy Uhrich‘s blog. I love Elsa Mora, and her work. I don’t know if I’ve adequately expressed…
It’s nice to share
Meet Jes and Holly’s amazing project, American Able. I think the description on the site says everything, so I’m going to post it here for you: ‘American Able’ intends to, through spoof, reveal the ways in which women with disabilities are invisibilized in advertising and mass media. I chose American Apparel not just for their…
Pashmina weather
It’s the most brilliant time of the year here, when the weather gets milder! My lovely friend Kathleen bought this pashmina back from India for me, a gift I really treasure because it has paisley woven into it. I wore it the other night even though it was still pretty humid! I’m still loving the…

It seems like everyone has a blog these days, and cutting through the crowd feels like a really hard job. Sometimes it can feel like a lonely experience, talking to an empty comment wall! While a select number of bloggers seem to be getting a lot of press, it can feel like you’re being overlooked…
