Last week I posted some photos of the City Chic Bourke Street store under construction, and tonight Hayley told me that the new store has reopened and these photos taken by her are the first peek! The new fit-out makes good use of the tenancy space and I appreciate the spacious layout that solves the…

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…
Friday Fance: Fancify
I’ve seen quite a few triangular shaped rings recently, but this is the most fancy. The turquoise enamel (I’m assuming it’s enamel!) on brass is perfect! The only concerning feature is that flag… knowing me, I would take my own eye out with it. This is strictly for an afternoon of lounging about with friends…
Pls sir, I want some moiré
An art exhibition opening on a Sunday? Goodness, my brain just divided by zero! I wore what I’d usually wear to a night time event, something a bit crazy and fance. The Departure exhibition was at a council gallery just out of Brisbane, and I think that’s why the event was held at such an…
New clobber: let me show you it
There is nothing more thrilling than being roused by the postie making an early morning parcel delivery and then sitting in bed ripping everything open like a 4 year old on Christmas day. Oh wait, there is something more exciting… trying everything on and having it all fit perfectly! It seems like I’ve been waiting…
Outfit of the BBQ
I did something really brave the other day – I wore a sleeveless dress without a shrug or a cardigan. A lot of people think that I would be the last person to have an issue with my body, but that isn’t the case! For years I’ve been bothered by the lack of dresses and…
