I might write a little more on another [...]

I am suffering with a head cold at the moment and last night we had to go out to dinner with various people that Nick works with. Having received this pair of pastel mint tights from the lovely Cara at We Love Colors during the week, I really wanted to pick [...]

Wanna make a pretty frock?

On 4 June, 2010 · 56 Comments · In sewing

I’ve been a fan of Burda patterns and BurdaStyle for a few years now, and love the idea of open source sewing patterns. Unfortunately in recent years, the BurdaStyle site has deviated from the open source ideology however there are still a bunch of talented users on the site uploading their own patterns! [...]

On 27 May, 2010 · 47 Comments · In Tutorials

Heyyy, wanna make a fun fringy skirt that flicks when you move your hips? I have been a bit sad recently because I don’t have money for things like new clothes, even if they are awesome clothes like City Chic‘s fringed skirt (which has now sold out on the website!)

The Australian Fatshionistas

On 17 May, 2010 · 16 Comments · In Fashion

Australian mainstream media is slowly becoming aware that plus size fashion is a hotly discussed topic but it seems they know little of the Aussie fatshionistas writing about plus size fashion on the internet. After seeing Gabi from Young, Fat and Fabulous on The Morning Show last week I wanted to [...]

Last week I posted some photos of the City Chic Bourke Street store under construction, and tonight Hayley told me that the new store has reopened and these photos taken by her are the first peek! The new fit-out makes good use of the tenancy space and I [...]

Wherein I wear clothes in another city

On 7 May, 2010 · 20 Comments · In Fashion

I’ve had a pretty exciting week, and not all of it due to the crazy amount of blog love (and a bit of stern e-disapproval!) This past few days I’ve been in Melbourne taking part in a body image project and meeting the fabulous Jacqui, and then last night I got news that [...]

Pashmina weather

On 4 May, 2010 · 10 Comments · In Fashion

It’s the most brilliant time of the year here, when the weather gets milder! My lovely friend Kathleen bought this pashmina back from India for me, a gift I really treasure because it has paisley woven into it. I wore it the other night even though it was still pretty humid! I’m [...]
