I’m very much an autumn person. I love the autumn weather, when it’s warm but not too hot, and days are still long; when leaves start to turn red and fall from trees (do you know how satisfying it is to stomp through crunchy autumn leaves?). I love the colours of autumn, both the colours in nature and in fashion. Blacks, greys, deep reds, mustards, burnt oranges, navy blues … that is my kind of colour palette (no matter what time of year it is). View Post
Have you ever found an item of clothing that you love to wear so much that you wish you could have it in every colour? That’s how I feel about the Kate Midington skirt from Society+. I got to wear it for an upcoming project that I’m part of (more details about that to come next week) and now I am obsessed! View Post
I’m lucky in that my current job doesn’t have a dress code. When it comes to workwear, most of the time if I’m working from home I’m wearing pyjama pants or leggings because if I’m not comfortable I find it hard to concentrate on writing. If I’m heading out to meet with someone or to an event I’ll dress up, it’s always fun picking an outfit now that I don’t have to wear a uniform or comply with an office dress code. View Post
Thrifting or second hand shopping as a plus size person can be difficult. I’ve been to stores that are rumoured to have a great plus size range only to find that it only goes up to a size 18, I’ve found many many dud outfits (think of the nana fat girl clothes from the 90’s) and I’ve had some real misses buying from online sellers. I do really like the idea of being able to onsell my clothes and be able to buy pre-loved clothing from others, in what seems to be such a throwaway culture, so I have persisted and over the years I have picked up a few thrifting tips that I thought I’d share with you.

As I’m sure you’re well aware, later this week I am going on my first ever solo trip overseas. While I’ve been making travel plans, I had a friend mention dress codes for flying, and it got me thinking about how we dress when we travel. View Post
