Lipoedema

From my teenage years well into my 30’s, I thought my arms and legs looked the way they do solely because I was fat. Even though most other fat people that I know don’t have arms and legs that look like mine. But I have family members whose bodies look like mine – I guess I thought it was a genetic thing. Just how our whānau looks, you know? View Post

What to wear when it’s really hot

Wearing Florence dress from Isla-Maree (ad/gifted), Winona bag from Velvet Heartbeat and DANNI sneakers from Ziera.

If it feels like summer is getting hotter, it is. The average temperature at my place is now 29ºC with most days sitting somewhere between 27-32ºC. Global warming is certainly making it’s presence felt – in previous summers it was more like 25ºC. Wearing light and cool clothes helps to minimise discomfort from the heat, so here’s what I’ve been wearing. View Post

Review: Snag Tights Leggings

As soon as I saw that Snag Tights were planning on releasing a clothing range (in addition to their tights and chub rub shorts), I was excited. Their stockings have been pretty revolutionary to me, and are by far the best tights I’ve ever worn. I won’t tell you exactly how many pairs I’ve got now – it’s not all of them but perhaps close! Of course, trying their clothing was a no brainer for me. View Post

Easy Sustainable Swaps

Easy sustainable swaps for your bathroom: Ethique Heali Kiwi Shampoo, Ethique Frizz Wrangler Shampoo and Ethique Too Delicious Conditioner sitting in a pink Ethique In-Shower Container; a CaliWoods Luxe Copper Gold Safety Razor; Ethique Wonderbar Conditioner Mini; Nappy Needz Washable Makeup Pads in a yellow bamboo container; and a lush green Philodendron Birkin

Some easy sustainable swaps for your bathroom

Over the last few years I’ve been challenging myself to be more considerate of the waste that I create (and more specifically single use plastics). I talk a lot on Instagram about remembering to take your reusable cup to get coffee, but there are other easy sustainable swaps I’ve made. Seeing as it’s Earth Day, I thought I’d share them on here. It’s good time to consider how we can be kinder to our environment. If you can think of any other easy sustainable swaps, let me know View Post

Sloan – Conscious Clothing for Every Body

New Zealand plus size fashion blogger Meagan Kerr wears Noelle Dress in Bark, made by Sloan

I first saw a Sloan dress on my friend Shonnei. When I clicked through to check out their instagram, I fell head over heels for the whimsical designs. Immediately, I knew I wanted a Sloan piece of my own – the designs are very different to anything else I own! Each piece is custom made so no matter what size you are, you can shop there. Woohoo! As someone who’s sized out of many so-called inclusive labels (hello, humans above a size 24 do exist!), that’s music to my ears. I’ve never ordered anything custom made before, so thought I’d share the journey with you. View Post
