The average Australian woman is now a size 14. These latest statisics have provided the impetus for retailers and designers to start catering for larger sizes. This pastel lavender top is a case in point. I picked it up from Supre last week for $20 and while my purchase is a triple extra small, they…
I’ve been off the air for a while girls after a week of celebrating my birthday. Pool hopped with some fave girls at the lovely hot springs, went out for dinner with family (dad shouted!), was taken out for a fancy lunch at Citrus with more fave ladies, and sampled 3 birthday cakes in 2…
I can’t believe I cut this dress off! It’s a lesson to think before you tamper with clothes but it’s not the first time I’ve done it, and it probably won’t be the last. A few years ago it was a maxi but because it’s very form-fitting, it restricted my movements, which I found very…
It’s hard to look fresh Sunday morning for church after a big week but luckily we have make-up! To make matters worse, I was having a bad hair day, which is why I went for an up-do. My hubby is not big on the hair bun, and while I like to look my best for…
Do you ever have days where everything you try on feels wrong and nothing is working for you? Today was one of those! I tried on numerous outfits for Mum’s birthday lunch and ended up wearing jeans. It’s amazing how sadness, anger or negative thoughts in your mind and heart can affect your entire body.…
I’m trying not to spend a cent on clothing or shoes and it’s excruciating! But it is forcing me to stretch my creative muscles and style myself with what I already have in my vast walk-in wardrobe. Interestingly, this CKM wrap dress has been around a while but it’s probably never been more fashionable. Velvet…
I can’t wait for summer! Unfortunately, we are not even halfway through winter. BC (before children) I was an avid snow skiier and couldn’t get enough of the winter chill but my friends with luxury chalets have disappeared so I’ve turned into a summer bunny. I dusted off my favourite high-waisted black satin shorts to…
Some mornings I wake up and my creative juices are really flowing and today was one of them! It all started the night before with red nails – it’s such a hot, luscious colour. Stepping into the fast lane I poured myself into this red knit dress. What do you think of the cut-outs along…
You may have noticed girls that when I find a great bargain it cannot sit in my wardrobe, I just have to wear it! So when I picked up this brand new, velvet-fur lined, long knit for $5 I had to find a way to wear it to church. Knee-length, multi-textured jackets (think tweed and…
I can’t wait for summer! It’s 13 degrees and raining frequently here and my extremely active boys are stuck inside on school holidays. Perhaps if I put the brakes on shopping I could afford to whisk my family off somewhere hot and tropical . . . I can feel a shopping trip coming on! This grey…
