I don’t normally do this sort of thing, but right now I’m mopping up tears of frustration. After searching for sheer black pantyhose for a long time I went into Myer the other day I was surprised to find that the Kayser Plus Resilience Pantyhose size chart would accommodate my legs. This afternoon I...

Ridiculous outfit, serious topic.

27 August, 2010

A photo of my right hand (with lots of bracelets) lightly clasping a very long cream bead necklace.

After simply forever I finally got the t-shirt and dress I bought from the Asos Curve sale weeks and weeks ago. I’ve been sick this week, so it took me a while to try everything on and I can’t say I was very enthused about my purchases. The t-shirt, just a simple long white...

Kicking around 90s style (and something special for you!)

19 August, 2010
By Natalie
Photo of my grey boots that lace up and come up to my lower calf, I'm also wearing light blue tights.

Lately I’ve been feeling 90s fashion, probably because I follow Tavi’s Tumblr and she’s discovering all the awesome third wave/ riot girl stuff from last decade. I don’t know about you but I wore a lot of slip dresses, cardigans and boots in the 90s; I was a teenager and I didn’t have any...

Up on the hill

12 August, 2010

Photo of a tangle of bushes with the bright sun and blue sky coming through the leaves and branches.

Wednesday was an Ekka (the Royal Show) holiday for most Briswegians and I wanted to get out of the house for a little while because working at home is great and all but sometimes you want to do stuff outside! We went up to the top of Mt Coot-tha. That’s Brisbane! I wish you...

LBD for a VSO

Collage of Fluvia Lacerda, a hot honey-skinned plus size model wearing three little black dresses by Monif C.

With every day I get a little bit more anxious about what I’m going to wear to the Chambord Shine Awards finals and while I’ve cobbled an outfit together, it pales in comparison with these pieces from Monif C’s newest collection. LE SIGH. I wonder if I can pay for one of these gorgeous...

An OOTD experiment, including some amazing sunglasses

By Natalie
Photo of Natalie's silhouette, she's walking away from the camera along a wooden walkway into a solar flare.

If you like checking out other people’s outfits, you’ll have come across this sort of photo before. Now it’s my turn to bastardise the whimsical outfit photo! (I’m not hating, I swear!) Yesterday was a day of huge amusement, with all the Lane Bryant/ #teamfance drama so I was feeling a bit playful and...

Lane Bryant, your market is changing #teamfance

30 July, 2010
By Natalie
Screenshot of a tweet from Lane Bryant saying "Is this really necessary? We say NO! Share your thoughts!" and a link to my "Does my fat arse look fat in this?" tshirt on Cafe Press.

Let me preface this with a huge disclaimer: I’m Australian and I’ve never shopped at Lane Bryant, however I have bought a couple of Lane Bryant dresses second-hand via the fatshionista community. Through reading fat-o-sphere blogs, I’ve gained a bit of understanding about how LB have catered to a disenfranchised market and how for...

The best argument against the evidence of democracy in fashion is a conversation with a fat woman

Over the last few weeks I’ve had the thrill of being involved in an arena of fashion I have never sought to enter. Threadbared have been discussing the issue of democratisation of fashion recently, and my invitation to cover fashion awards as a blogger could well be evident of this new democracy in action,...
