Last year I was bored at my mother’s and decided to deface my British Vogue. It’s funny how sometimes you can pinpoint a change in momentum… I thought I was so clever to have created a paisley/ doodle mask that I moblogged the drawing (then later scanned it, above). Since that day I’ve been way…

Fanciful Friday: Floral Headpiece edition
This week I’ve been seeing some fantastical floral headpieces, so I wanted to spotlight the fanciful world of flowers-on-people’s-heads! You don’t need to be a bride to plop some flora on your noggin either – every day is an excuse to be fancy. ⇒ I wish I could tell you where this headpiece came from,…

⇒ Eating apples with a knife! I don’t know why I love it so much, but it might have something to do with minimising facial mess! This photo was taken by Solarized. ⇒ Wearing t-bar sandals. If you’ve got wide feet like I do, Evans is fantastic for affordable wide fitting shoes. I thought I…
Fanciful Friday
• I’m not sure how I came across The Chintz of Darkness but they post some incredible photographs and illustrations, and have a very funny blog name. If you like ye olde home decor and curious knick knacks and whatsits, you’ll love this blog. • I really like the hair styling on Zac Posen‘s fall…
Fanciful Friday
Surprise! It’s Friday! I really have no idea where my week went, but I suspect you’ll find it under a pile of eraser leavings and pencil shavings. I keep a tin full of them, I’m not even kidding. As for the picture, I wanted to share just how fancy I am. Even when brushing one’s…
Bits and pieces (including but not limited to stuff and nonsense)
Ms Mitzy asked me for a custom illustration – she particularly loves my flower balls, and wants to get them tattooed on her! I couldn’t actually bring myself to title this “Flower Balls” so it is henceforth known as “Flower Baubles”. There, much more lady-like! Senorita Makalita took a photo of the canvas print she…
Pose for the camera, baby – you’re a fox! Yeah!
I have been absolutely OVERWHELMED with responses to “How to love yourself in 8 really hard steps“, so I want to maintain some of the body image vibe in my blog from now on. In this post, I want to share one of my secrets to feeling confident and loving myself – and it’s just…
How to love yourself in 8 really hard steps
Body image has always been something I’ve been interested in and at uni it took the guise of identity and styling, or the ways in which individuals dress themselves in order to assume an identity. In my last 10 years as a fat woman who has never felt ashamed of being fat, I have thought…
Fashion can make you feel good about yourself, if you let it
I held my first ever clothing swap on Sunday, and even though the numbers were down it was still a success. Everyone took home something new (to them!) and we all had a fabulous time trying on clothes and shoes and making silly outfits. I got the idea from Screw Inner Beauty, in which Kate…
Etsy plus size fashion designer: jibrionline
I came across one of jibrionline‘s dresses on tumblr and was amazed that a) the model was plus plus sized (most plus size models are a US size 10 or 12!) and made me feel like the designer actually designed for fat bodies b) the standard of model and photography are incredible, and miles above…
