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.

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!

Oh wait, there is something more exciting… trying everything on and having it all fit perfectly! It seems like I’ve been waiting…

Five Faves

I’m joining in on the Five Faves bandwagon, as started by the lovely Pip at Meet Me At Mikes. I am tardy, as per usual because I am busy and important (tongue firmly planted in cheek, watch it sprout!) 1. Lady Gaga! She’s challenging and presents thoughtful art to the world. I just like her,…

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…
