Pattern Clash: Spots and Stripes

New Zealand plus size blogger Meagan Kerr wears 17 Sundays Black and Bone Striped Fit n Flare Dress and Sara Spot Cardigan

It’s Aussie Curves pattern clash week, and as I’m not much one for clashing patterns, I thought this was a great time to bring out a look that combines simple patterns in two neutral colours. View Post

From board shorts to bathing suits

I have a fat body. Not the kind of smooth airbrushed fat body that you see advertising swimwear, I have a fat body with cellulite, rolls and plenty of jiggly bits. I hid my body when I went to the beach, under boardshorts and t-shirts. I forgot the joys of the sun on my skin and the water on my body. Until a few years ago, when I said “eff that, I want to enjoy the water like I used to!” and ditched the boardies and tee in favour of a bathing suit. Then a tankini. Then a bikini. And now I have about ten swimsuits in varying forms. View Post

These shoes are made for walking

I decided that it was time to treat myself to a new pair of walking shoes. The last pair of exercise shoes I bought were great (and I paid less than $10 for them), but they didn’t give me the support I needed so they have been relegated to my gardening shoes. I asked around and had Nike shoes recommended to me by a few friends, so yesterday I popped into Nike Platinum St Lukes.

Nike Lunarglide 6 Women

Almost every other time I’ve walked into a sportswear store I’ve either been ignored or treated very rudely. I’m not take seriously because I’m fat (actual comment overheard, “Who is she kidding? Must be lost”) or because I’m female (just the other day I walked into an outdoors store to buy a new backpack. The two salespeople avoided eye contact and ignored me, instead going straight to assist my partner … who was not there to buy anything. Needless to say they didn’t get my money!). I’m sure you won’t be surprised when I tell you that I was a little bit nervous when I headed into the Nike store! View Post

Figure-hugging stripes

2014 has been my year of dressing fearlessly. Prints, LOTS of colour, stripes, bodycon … striped bodycon! I’ve become more comfortable with my body over the last year than I have ever been before, and I’m loving it. View Post

Tropis Beauty

This week I went to the Bloggers Club Awards, and donned this gorgeous new kimono – and luckily for me it arrived on the day of the awards, what timing! And the sequins make it perfect for this week’s Aussie Curves theme, metallic (look at me, multitasking on the blog!).
