I’ve been in Rotorua over the last week for the Crankworx mountain biking festival, and decided to channel my inner mountain bike babe in skinny jeans, flannel checks and a flat cap. It’s a style that’s a little bit different from my usual girly look, but it really got me in the mood for wearing more checks this autumn and winter. And more flannel. And a cap. Oh dear, what’s happening to me?
I get super excited about meeting my blog readers, and after talking to Grace on Facebook I was thrilled when she told me that she was willing to step in front of my camera. She’s so friendly and bubbly in real life, that the moment I met her I felt like we had known each other for ages. I love having that kind of connection!
My beloved baby brother (who is 28 years old and well over six foot, so clearly not a baby anymore) got married at the beginning of March, toes nestled in the sand of Matai Bay in Northland. It was a gorgeously sunny day, with the sun streaming down, and I’m so glad I had decided to wear a cool flowing maxi dress.
One of the things I get a lot of people asking me about is plus size bridal and formal gowns. And I can understand why – how often do you walk into a store looking for a formal gown or a wedding dress and are able to just try something on at a size 26? Or even a size 16? In New Zealand, buying plus size formalwear off the rack is pretty rare, so when I found out about the wonderful Kelly Sefton’s Fab Frocks in Rotorua, I had to pay her a visit. For blog research purposes, of course!
With the autumn equinox just past, the days getting cooler and the leaves starting to turn, it’s time to admit that autumn is finally here. And you know what that means? It’s time to lace up your boots, lady! I’ve done the legwork and found some of my favourite boots for the upcoming season, so all you have to do is choose the style you like and find your size. So here we go – no words, just boots.
