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.
Inspired by Kahurangi from xox Bubbles, I wanted to jump on the Taking Stock bandwagon and share what’s going on in my life right now. You get to look into my wardrobe all the time but not so much what’s going on in my life, and I know a few of you mentioned in my reader survey that you wanted a bit more about what I’m up to on the daily, so here you go! If you want me to expand on something, leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to answer. View Post
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
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.
