Daydream Lily posted about Renee and Angela‘s new venture, {twin set}, which is an online vintage fashion store with some really gorgeous pieces. If you are bigger than an AU size 18, you might have discovered that plus size vintage is pretty scarse. As a result, I am so used to dismissing straight sized fashion…

The lady who attends Tupperware parties
Saturday was a big day, with a Tupperware party and two footy games on the big plasma tv at my sister’s. I’m not really into footy, so I decided to kick into frou frou mode for the Tupperware party to spite the cloying masculinity of the day, where I was recruited into holding one of…
How do you take your tea?
I went into South Bank to meet Ms Rósek and have tea at Tlicious. Dress: Basque Woman Tights: Kmart Shoes: Spendless Brooch: gift This is the brooch – a vintage lamb from an old uni friend. She also gave me a red pony, but I’ve lost it in my drawers of clothes! Alex gave me…
Outfits from the last week
The other day I tentatively asked on Twitter whether I should start posting outfit of the day (OOTD) photos here, and was met with a rather confidence boosting and unanimous “YES”. I’ve been posting outfit photos to various flickr pools as well as the Fatshionista Livejournal community for a while, whenever I’ve remembered to take…
Blog Love!
I’ve been featured on two awesome blogs this week and it isn’t even really Monday. Oh it is? Well… shit. The lass behind Young, Fat and Fabulous is Gabi, and I’ve known her for quite a few years on this here internets! I’m really stoked that her blog is enjoying such success, and very honoured…
Bits and pieces (including but not limited to stuff and nonsense)
Ms Mitzy asked me for a custom illustration – she particularly loves my flower balls, and wants to get them tattooed on her! I couldn’t actually bring myself to title this “Flower Balls” so it is henceforth known as “Flower Baubles”. There, much more lady-like! Senorita Makalita took a photo of the canvas print she…
Pose for the camera, baby – you’re a fox! Yeah!
I have been absolutely OVERWHELMED with responses to “How to love yourself in 8 really hard steps“, so I want to maintain some of the body image vibe in my blog from now on. In this post, I want to share one of my secrets to feeling confident and loving myself – and it’s just…
How to love yourself in 8 really hard steps
Body image has always been something I’ve been interested in and at uni it took the guise of identity and styling, or the ways in which individuals dress themselves in order to assume an identity. In my last 10 years as a fat woman who has never felt ashamed of being fat, I have thought…
Fashion can make you feel good about yourself, if you let it
I held my first ever clothing swap on Sunday, and even though the numbers were down it was still a success. Everyone took home something new (to them!) and we all had a fabulous time trying on clothes and shoes and making silly outfits. I got the idea from Screw Inner Beauty, in which Kate…
You’re fat, stop that… somehow?
Photo by Kate O’Brien I haven’t spoken much about body issues here, or about how I’m a fat advocate, but I figure this is as good a platform as any to discuss my own issues with fatness*. It is not acceptable to pick on, alienate, ostracize or discriminate against fat people, and I’m continually astounded…
