Spring is finally on the horizon and with it, more rain. Unlike the rain we get in winter, this is a bit different. It’s somehow not as cold and hold the promise of growth and new life. It makes the spring bulbs bloom and blossoms appear on trees, and it can catch you unawares. When it’s starting to warm up, I don’t want to be wearing heaps of clothes and a heavy coat, so I invested in a light parka in case of a rainy day. View Post
I only started getting in to printed pants in the last 12 months or so, but now they’re a wardrobe staple and I find myself gravitating towards printed trousers when I’m styling outfits.

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.

This post was brought to you by The Warehouse.
When I asked you what you wanted to see more of, one of the resounding answers was how to wear plus size winter trends when you’re on a budget, so I’ve teamed up with my friends at The Warehouse to create a head to toe look that nails not one but two of this season’s trends for under $200, while still being versatile and working with what you already have in your wardrobe.

On the 19th of March 2015, HELP is holding their annual Colour Me Purple charity auction to raise money to help fund their crucial work within our community. Emceed by actor Aaron Ward, the evening’s entertainment will include performances by Kiwi icons as well as both a live and silent auction. Outstanding locally-made art is on offer, as well as amazing experiences, including a walk-on part with local heartthrob and sexual violence prevention educator Sam Bunkle on Shortland Street, a weekend away experiencing Waikato’s Waitomo caves and Hobbiton, and three nights at the Gold Coast in the Sheraton Mirage Resort with flights included. HELP aims to raise $50,000 to help them bridge the funding shortfall they face in delivering their services.
Tickets to Colour Me Purple are limited (but don’t worry, I’ll let you know how you can get yours in just a moment!), and guests are encouraged to wear their best purple attire – so I’ve put together a few of my favourite purple finds to help you look fabulous!
