Okay lovelies, let’s talk new year’s resolutions. For years mine were the same – lose weight, get out of debt, and quit smoking. Sound familiar? Well, I am pretty happy with my body and have realised that my weight does not define me, I don’t have any debt other than my student loan, and I quit smoking on the 1st of January 2011 (so that will be three years this new year’s day!), so it’s time to move on and make some new resolutions for my future.
Holy mackerel, Christmas is tomorrow. I just wanted to let you know that I will be taking the next few days off to spend time with my family, and will be leaving my laptop at home so I won’t be blogging until I get back. I hope you’ll be spending some time with the people you love too, and enjoying some R&R.
I will still be instagramming, so make sure you follow me here to catch all the fun times I’ll be having while I’m away. You can expect beach photos, presents, food, and plenty of selfies! View Post
The weather is warming up, so I thought I’d put together some of my fave pieces to keep cool in while still looking hot! This seemed like a great idea at the time, but now I just want a whole bunch of things while I’m on a self-imposed shopping ban. Oh the torture!

I’m totally feeling the Amber love this week – this woman inspires me so much (plus, she’s super fun and I love spending time with her!), so here she is in a second feature for the week. Missed her earlier? Check out our Chubby Cartwheels editorial shoot from earlier in the week here.
This is the first photo I ever took of Amber, and if you made it along to my recent exhibition, you’ll recognise it as being one of my collector’s item postcards. I chose this to be one of my two postcard designs because for me it really embodies what Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes is all about – feeling comfortable in your own skin, being confident, and embracing fashion despite being told certain things are “not for you” because of your size
A little while ago I was desperately searching for a bandeau swim top. Just a plain black one, that gave me sufficient boob coverage. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Chubby Cartwheels – a plus size clothing and accessories store whose website actually makes me want to have my entire paycheck direct credited straight to them. Yes, it’s that amazing.
