I get a lot of emails and comments from curvy girls wanting to know where to get hot sassy lingerie (I’m talking hot for the bedroom, not everyday lingerie), and until now I’ve been able to suggest a few places but never actually tried anything out for myself. Until now…
My favourite place to be is always near the ocean. Whether I’m at home in Auckland, in my hometown of Gisborne, or travelling about something always brings me back to water. It’s really no surprise that my favourite places in Auckland happen to be near the water. I took advantage of a spot of sunshine in what was a very cold windy weekend to head down and look at my city from across the harbour – and of course I had to go for a bit of a nautical theme with my outfit.

I’m pretty picky when it comes to flowers – I know what I like (peonies, hydrangeas, vintage roses and amaryllis, for the record) and what I don’t (carnations, most chrysanthemums and most lilies). The same goes for florals in fashion – I’m either all in or all out and I think I might have … maybe four? floral pieces in my wardrobe (two of them are made from the same fabric). One of those select few pieces is this kimono from Kiwi designers DMONIC INTENT.
Neutral tones. It’s a term you hear thrown about by savvy fashionistas, but what are neutral tones and how do you wear them? I know that a lot of you aren’t sure, so in response to all of the people who get in touch asking, I thought I’d put together a handy guide. Don’t worry, it’s much easier than you might think!

Black is one of the most common colours to crop up in my wardrobe, yet I realised recently that I hardly ever wear head to toe black anymore. It used to be an everyday thing, but I think I stopped rocking it all the time because of my Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes project. That kind of left me feeling like I was somehow obliged to wear a lot of colour, in an attempt to “disprove” all of the things that people say about what fat women should or should not wear. Now I feel like I’ve lost my fashion voice a little. View Post
