The concept of celebrity is a really strange one to me, and often when people talk about celebrities I don’t know who they are (fun fact: I only found out who Beyoncé was a couple of years ago when people were talking about her in my office). When the theme of “celebrity style” came up for the NZ Style Curvettes outfit challenge I was a bit stuck, so I decided to steal the style of one of my fellow blogger babes. View Post
Burnout affects a lot of people (including me), and can leave you feeling exhausted, hopeless and like you’re not good enough. At least, that’s how it made me feel – I honestly felt like I was a massive honest to goodness failure. I never want anyone else to go through that, so I thought sharing some of the things that have helped me might help someone else. I’m no expert, just someone who has been there. View Post
When 17 Sundays released their grid print dress and matching tee, I shared them on my Facebook page and y’all went bananas over them! Then I did a giveaway of them both and woah. Everyone was so excited! Except one person – she was determined that this dress was a sack and probably the worst thing to happen to plus size fashion ever because it was loose fitting rather than curve hugging. Well guess what? I don’t agree (and neither do the 300+ people who entered to win one). View Post
Gone are the days of high heels, uncomfortable g strings and hemlines I’m constantly pulling down, one thing I look for in my clothes now is comfort. As someone who works from home, I freely admit that I quite often get up and shower only to put on a clean pair of pyjama pants (come on, don’t tell me you wouldn’t wear pyjamas all the time if you could!). When I have to put on real world clothes, being comfortable is key. View Post
Earlier in the year, Taryn Brumfitt‘s documentary Embrace screened at the New Zealand International Film Festival. It was a “one show only” deal and unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make it to the screening. I knew I had to see it though, so I got in touch with the team at Body Image Movement to find out how I could bring it to my local cinema.
My friend Monique from Dressing Up and I organised a screening at one of our local cinemas through Demand.Film, because we knew that this was something we needed to share. It needed to be shared with our blog readers; with our friends and family; with mamas, daughters, sisters, besties; with the amazing people that we are surrounded by who might be struggling like we have struggled… because body image is something that we need to be talking about!
