I’ve raved about Dello Mano brownies before and yesterday was cause to reiterate my love for this small handmade brownie shop in Breakfast Creek. This weekend is our last in Brisbane so we caught up with friends for coffee and treats courtesy of Dello Mano’s super lovely owner Deb. I finally got the opportunity to…

Fear and Cleavage in Coorparoo.
When I was cleaning out my wardrobe for the Megaherzzz clothing swap I came across a dress I haven’t worn for ages and decided to wear it today. In times past I’ve worn the dress with a singlet underneath because it has a lace detail down the centre front, and being blessed with G cups…
Megaherzzz Clothing Swap, and Being Fat in Brisbane.
I attended the 4zzz Megaherzzz Clothing Swap today, and it was a little bittersweet finally getting to hang around such rad people before I move down the coast. Community is so important to me, but dealing with social anxiety is a huge barrier so I’ve found my community online over the past decade. I’ve wanted…
Natalie’s Big Day Out.
Today was super busy for me and I’d been dreading it a little because the last few months have been fraught with social anxiety and even though I’m starting to pull up out of it, it’s still a challenge. In this blog post bonanza I have TWO (2) outfit photos for your sartorial pleasure as…
My Fatina Plus project.
Finding plus size sewing patterns is a completely frustrating exercise, so when I started sewing again recently I was dreading the time when I wanted to make something more complicated than gathered skirts. I’ve made quite a few skirts now and been very chuffed with myself for creating stuff I’ve seen available on websites, but…
Fatshion Femmepire, Arise!
I’m selling clothes in anticipation of moving down the coast, and also because some just don’t fit! I’ll probably be listing a few more things like shoes and accessories over the coming days so keep an eye out. There are lots of dresses (including some rare vintage plus size), jackets, and sought-after Beth Ditto for…
A nice winter day in Brisbane is nice.
Today the Mind, Body, Spirit Festival is on in Brisbane and Mum really wanted to go check it out. She collected my sister, Nick and I and we toddled off to the RNA Showgrounds. The convention was absolutely packed! Being somewhat of a skeptic, I was mainly there to get out of the house and…
How to circumvent that pesky “no tights as pants” issue with a sheer skirt.*
* Not that you have to circumvent that ridiculous “rule” if you don’t care to! I bought some black mesh on ebay a few months ago with the intention of making it into all kinds of lovely sheer things. On the weekend I finally got around to making up a long skirt! I’d aimed for…
Gotta get down, or if not get down have a cider, on Friday.
I know it seems as if this blog is just non-stop outfit posts at the moment with no real meaty stuff, but my ability to write and access vocabulary is pretty limited at the moment. Fortunately I consider posting photos of my outfits on the internet to be pretty important too, and as I recover…
Today’s theme is WAFFLES (and tea).
I haven’t really had many waffles in my lifetime, in fact I distinctly remember eating one in my childhood and not liking it very much. It could have been the ice cream served with it (I’m not a huge fan) or it could have been the horrid overwhelming cardboard texture. Lesley Knope really likes waffles…
