To know me is to watch me change. I’ve had about five different hair colours in the last year, but that’s not what I mean. I want to talk about changing my mind, my outlook, and my behaviour. It’s highly unrealistic to have a picture of someone in your mind that never changes, yet it’s…

Wanna make a pretty frock?
I’ve been a fan of Burda patterns and BurdaStyle for a few years now, and love the idea of open source sewing patterns. Unfortunately in recent years, the BurdaStyle site has deviated from the open source ideology however there are still a bunch of talented users on the site uploading their own patterns! When I…
The Problem With Tights
I am a lady who loves tights. Several of my recent (and most popular) posts are about tights. Or leggings. By now you might have noticed that I use those words interchangeably but yep, I mean the stretchy tubes you put on the lower half of your body. I’m sorry if that annoys you but…
DIY Project: Fringe Skirt
Heyyy, wanna make a fun fringy skirt that flicks when you move your hips? I have been a bit sad recently because I don’t have money for things like new clothes, even if they are awesome clothes like City Chic‘s fringed skirt (which has now sold out on the website!) See how rad this skirt…
lovedrobe: here to save me from black?
I wear a lot of black because it seems like it’s the only thing I can buy a lot of the time. Imagine my utter delight when I came across lovedrobe – a UK plus size clothing retailer who sell pretty, whimsical, femme garments in a number of lovely pastel colours! Frills, florals and rosettes!…
The Australian Fatshionistas
Australian mainstream media is slowly becoming aware that plus size fashion is a hotly discussed topic but it seems they know little of the Aussie fatshionistas writing about plus size fashion on the internet. After seeing Gabi from Young, Fat and Fabulous on The Morning Show last week I wanted to do a comprehensive list…
It’s nice to share
Look at me, again I’ve really enjoyed reading Hazel Dooney’s blog, and this post in particular hit a nerve with me. On the odd occasion I feel a little shame for being so “out there”, and using the internet to promote myself and my art (also: my politics!) but Ms Dooney reminds me that I…
New City Chic Bourke St store
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…
