Hello and welcome to my whimsified outfit photos take two! Please step into my Monday afternoon consisting of changeable winter weather, awkward poses and coffee with my mother. Allow me to demonstrate the items of clothing I selected for my body to wear today. Recently I’ve been having wardrobe dilemmas, and in years gone by…
LBD for a VSO
With every day I get a little bit more anxious about what I’m going to wear to the Chambord Shine Awards finals and while I’ve cobbled an outfit together, it pales in comparison with these pieces from Monif C’s newest collection. LE SIGH. I wonder if I can pay for one of these gorgeous frocks…
In a modern faery queen’s world
When I came across this photo on Tumblr I loved it at once, probably because it reminds me a little of Kate’s work. Han Jin looks as though she were a faery queen, I love that pose. I might try to sketch it! See the rest of the Spring Breeze editorial from Vogue Korea. Even…
Print is dead, long live print!
I’m always very chuffed to be asked to be part of anything printed, whether it be a zine or a magazine because it means people are holding something that my lines embellish, acknowledging it and sometimes even keeping it for a while. Physical objects are important and they take up space in the real world,…
Links across the bloggiverse
Jane Austen’s Fight Club. Posted for the benefit of anyone who hasn’t seen it on Jezebel yet ;) Chally at Feministe kindly did a transcript for it too! 10 Reasons to Stop Apologizing for Your Online Life Here’s the thing: it really bothers me when people dismiss the internet because they have limited experience with…
August desktop, horah!
Down this part of the globe it’s been the 1st of August for a whole day and I hope you won’t hold my tardiness against me. Maybe you’re only just starting the month in your part of the world? Then I hope I’m posting this in time! I quite like august as a word in…
An OOTD experiment, including some amazing sunglasses
If you like checking out other people’s outfits, you’ll have come across this sort of photo before. Now it’s my turn to bastardise the whimsical outfit photo! (I’m not hating, I swear!) Yesterday was a day of huge amusement, with all the Lane Bryant/ #teamfance drama so I was feeling a bit playful and asked…
It’s not fashion, it’s fance
So I’ve been poring over street style blogs overnight; it’s unusual for me because I am not typically interested in straight sized fashion – and let’s be honest, street photographers rarely snap anyone plus sized (except Hel Looks, a blog that snaps quite a diversity of people!) I might write a little more on another…
Lane Bryant, your market is changing #teamfance
Let me preface this with a huge disclaimer: I’m Australian and I’ve never shopped at Lane Bryant, however I have bought a couple of Lane Bryant dresses second-hand via the fatshionista community. Through reading fat-o-sphere blogs, I’ve gained a bit of understanding about how LB have catered to a disenfranchised market and how for some…
Friendship in the social age
I think a lot of people confuse networking for friendship in this age. It could have started with Myspace (a moment of silence please!) and the golden era of fifty billion “friends” but more and more it seems like lots of people favour a bajillion acquaintances in preference to a handful of buddies. Recently I…
