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.
Neutral tones. It’s a term you hear thrown about by savvy fashionistas, but what are neutral tones and how do you wear them? I know that a lot of you aren’t sure, so in response to all of the people who get in touch asking, I thought I’d put together a handy guide. Don’t worry, it’s much easier than you might think!

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.

For a long time, I thought that being a fat girl meant that I was doomed to a life of boring nana undies. Always plain black cotton, never any beautiful colours or sensual fabrics. All I can say is thank goodness for Rose & Thorne and Autograph – through them I have discovered a whole new world of plus size lingerie that is suitable for everyday wear! View Post
