My beloved baby brother (who is 28 years old and well over six foot, so clearly not a baby anymore) got married at the beginning of March, toes nestled in the sand of Matai Bay in Northland. It was a gorgeously sunny day, with the sun streaming down, and I’m so glad I had decided to wear a cool flowing maxi dress.
One of the things I get a lot of people asking me about is plus size bridal and formal gowns. And I can understand why – how often do you walk into a store looking for a formal gown or a wedding dress and are able to just try something on at a size 26? Or even a size 16? In New Zealand, buying plus size formalwear off the rack is pretty rare, so when I found out about the wonderful Kelly Sefton’s Fab Frocks in Rotorua, I had to pay her a visit. For blog research purposes, of course!
With the autumn equinox just past, the days getting cooler and the leaves starting to turn, it’s time to admit that autumn is finally here. And you know what that means? It’s time to lace up your boots, lady! I’ve done the legwork and found some of my favourite boots for the upcoming season, so all you have to do is choose the style you like and find your size. So here we go – no words, just boots.
With Easter coming really soon (I’m so not prepared for that – where has this year gone?), and my Easter nail art inspiration already sought out and shared with you all, I thought it was time for me to choose a design and give it a go.
Meet Hannah Gough aka Miss Glamour LaRue – Glam for short. She’s a model, an early childhood educator, a Miss Pinup New Zealand 2015 finalist, derby girl and all round awesome babe. I was excited to be able to shoot with her for my Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes project and ask her a few questions about being body positive and being a plus size woman in the Miss Pinup New Zealand 2015 finals.
