For a long time, I’d buy whatever fit me and was cheap because there really weren’t a lot of plus size options where I lived that weren’t super expensive and I hadn’t discovered internet shopping yet. Consequently, I didn’t really have any personal style as such. Now, I’m more likely to spend more on quality garments that I really like, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love to hunt for a bargain that also looks fab on me! View Post
At the beginning of this year, I challenged myself to develop a healthy relationship with my body and become more comfortable in front of the camera. All year I’ve been working on this, and the Aussie Curves challenges have gone a long way towards pushing me out of my comfort zone and in front of my camera. So far this year I have shot (and exhibited) a self portrait series that included nude photos of me* and pictures of me in a bathing suit, as well as countless outfit posts.This week’s Aussie Curves theme was vulnerable, and here I am: without make-up, and without clothes.
Yesterday was the last day of New Zealand Fashion Week for media, and the second to last show I’ll be attending this week. The Miromoda show was the one I’ve been most looking forward to this week – so much so that on Tuesday I even had my nails done in honour of DMONIC INTENT’s collection (which they showed in the Miromoda showcase yesterday)! This is what I wore to the Miromoda showcase, which is a celebration of the amazing talent of our up and coming Maori designers:
When I walked in to the Viaduct Events Centre yesterday morning in between downpours, the first thing I noticed was the sea of black. As soon as the weather turns rubbish, everyone seems to forget the florals and bright colours of spring. I felt right at home! Fortunately I had a bright turquoise bag to liven up my outfit a little.

So yesterday (day two of NZ Fashion Week) I had classes all day and was only able to attend one show. Fortunately, that show was Trelise Cooper, so it was a perfect finish to the day.
A minor side note – yesterday it was POURING down. I’m lucky that my lovely boyfriend drove me to and from the show and took photos of my outfit when I put it on today especially so I could share it with you. Best boyfriend ever. View Post
