Yesterday I went swimming in the ocean for the first time this season, and you know what that means – summer is on the way and it’s time for my swimsuit special! What style of swimsuit do you like to wear? I’m kicking things off with some of my favourite one piece bathing suits – stay tuned for more great styles!

If you’ve been following me on twitter and facebook, you have probably guessed that I’m a bit of a fan of Outlander…
By “a bit of a fan”, I mean that I’m an Outlander fangirl through and through! I’ve read all of the books in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series multiple times, and have seen all of the episodes of the new Outlander series. It’s available exclusively on Lightbox in New Zealand, and I’m eagerly awaiting episode 7!
If you want to get in to the Outlander mood and rock some tartan, then here are some great new plaid pieces for you… View Post

Have you seen Mad Men yet? I’ve been watching it on Lightbox over the last few weeks and I can’t believe I haven’t seen it sooner. What I love most is the women of Mad Men – they’re strong and sassy (especially Joan Holloway, who is played by Christina Hendricks), and such snappy dressers!
If you want to be able to rock their fabulous 1960’s style then never fear – I’ve found some fantastic plus size dresses that are just divine! View Post
The Very Vintage Day Out 2014 was a very different experience for me this year, I think because I went with friends instead of going by myself. Everything is always infinitely more fun with friends! I’ve got loads of pictures for you this year, and very few words (for a change), so let’s kick off…

I think an important part of the body positive journey is wearing clothes that make you feel fabulous – at least, it has been a very important part of my journey. I find it nearly impossible to feel bad about myself and my body if I am wearing a kick ass outfit, one that I love, that I feel good in and that I believe looks good on me.

My favourite style at the moment is retro inspired – tops and full swings skirts or dresses that nip in at the waist, all worn with layers of petticoats underneath. It is a style that I feel fantastic in, and thankfully there are a number of companies out there at the moment that are providing retro reproductions (designs inspired by true vintage but in modern fabrics and colours) in plus sizes.
