Summer is the time for travelling. A weekend away with your friends, a family camping trip, an overnighter with your beloved, the great summer roadie… it’s time to hit the road and do some exploring.

Jes Baker is pretty well known in the world of body positivity as someone who is unafraid to talk about things that many shy away from. Her no bull attitude is what drew me to her, with her open letter to then Abercrombie and Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries and amazing “Abercrombie and Fat” photoshoot after Jeffries made some body shaming comments about why he didn’t want fat people shopping in A&F stores.

I’ve had some interesting New Year’s Eve adventures. There was that time we went to Waiheke, put a kayak in someone’s tent while they were sleeping and pretended to paddle it. The parties down at the Mount. When Andrew’s car broke down and my dad had to pick us up. Dancing under the stars out at The Land. The time we all went to Great Barrier Island and had the camping nightmare from hell. View Post
January 1st. The day when people wake up and swear they’re never drinking again, make New Year’s resolutions to drink more green smoothies and eat less sugar, or vow that they’re going to lose weight and “be healthy”, right? Nope I’m not going to pay for a gym membership I’ll only use for a month, only eat kale and quinoa, run until I spew or try yet another ridiculous diet in an attempt to starve my body and be slim. Fuck that. My goals for 2016 are all about making more time for myself and living a fabulous life. View Post
Is there anything that sums up my style more than 17 Sundays, stripes and monochrome? This tee was absolutely made for me, so when it showed up in a parcel of goodies from 17 Sundays recently, I was smitten! I’ve been wearing it a lot with black shorts, but couldn’t resist pairing these stripes with my animal print pants for a bit of a pattern clash. View Post
