Tights are tights

I see people say “Tights are not pants” all the time and it makes me sad because I sense a degree of body shame every time it is uttered (or typed). People seem to get angry at other people for wearing a simple item of clothing. Why? Why the need to take up this rallying…

Maxi-dress for a country wedding

I wore this to my cousin’s wedding on Saturday which was held in some beautiful venues half way between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. The church was positioned in the middle of cane fields, and paired with the magnificent blue sky and the fluffy clouds it was the perfect day! The reception was at the…

Autumn clothes haul

I only buy clothes online every few months, so when I do it’s a big deal. And I make collages like this. Daggy? Sure, but it’s helpful if you’re looking at garments across a few different websites! Polyvore is also really good for this, but I can’t use it since it won’t work with the…

Friday Fance: A pastel mood

Love for naKIMuli

I came across naKIMuli via the fabulously talented Nikki of Decadent Industries. NaKIMuli’s designer Tennille is a wonderful bright spark, designing crazy awesome clothing for people who don’t mind showing off their bodies in fabulous body con garments. The most refreshing part? She does a plus size line as well! HORAH! I’m expecting big things…

Want to wear Pinup Girl Clothing?

I know I do, but I have long been thwarted by the junior plus size offerings from Pinup Girl. Amazingly, the clothing store want to offer a broader collection of sizes, and they want to hear from you! Laura from PUG posted an open thread on their facebook page for people to offer feedback, and…
