Brought to you by Farmers
Outfit #1: Activewear
Autumn is my favourite season – the cool crisp air, the beautiful things that happen in nature, and of course autumn fashion! I picked up a few new things from Farmers recently and was really impressed by their plus size range, so I thought I’d show them to you in a way that’s a little bit different for me. I thought I’d make a wee lookbook style video… View Post
What is your favourite place to shop?
I prefer to make most of my own clothing and if not, then I like to op shop for the rest. I find the cut and the silhouettes of the clothing way more flattering – plus it’s generally cheaper, you’re recycling and sometimes supporting non profit organisations who provide great community services so it’s a win, win, win!

When it comes to my wardrobe I have three separate approaches. I have a whole bunch of basics that I’ve bought in really good quality, in fabrics that feel fabulous, and I wear them all the time. These wardrobe staples are my essentials and form the basis of most of my outfits. Then there are the trend based pieces – they’re often seasonal and range from cheap and cheerful to midrange pieces that I think will last well but aren’t what I’d call basics. And lastly, I have the investment pieces. Clothes that I’ve shelled out a bit more money for, because they were so fabulous I had to have them. I don’t have a lot of them, because hello – lady’s on a tight budget – but the ones I have I really cherish. View Post
Last year I made the decision to go cruelty free and stop using beauty products that are tested on animals. Before I made that leap, I thought that going cruelty free meant spending lots of money on obscure hard to find products. Boy, was I wrong! It’s become easier and easier to find great products that don’t come at the expense of our animal friends. Seeing as it’s #BeCrueltyFree week this week, I think there are a few things you need to know about cruelty free beauty.
Leopard print is one of those timeless autumn/winter prints, and apparently it’s considered a neutral. I’m not so sure leopard print is really in the same league as navy, black and grey (although perhaps it depends on the type of leopard print?!), but as it is a fashion fave for so many people, perhaps it’s time to let a little leopard slink into my wardrobe!
