Simone Perele competition in pictures

I thought it might be a good idea to post some pictures of possible lingerie the winner of the Simone Perele competition (don’t forget to like the Facebook page!) could win! I want them all! This is the set that I got sent! It’s ridiculously comfortable and I am completely amazed it fit me without [...]

Simone Perele competition

Exciting news! I’ve been in contact with Sarah from Simone Perele and we’ve come up with a competition that I think will appeal to all my readers. It certainly appeals to me! Simone Perele make some utterly gorgeous, decadent lingerie, sized from to 10 to 20 B-G (some styles in a H) in bras and [...]

Spring/summer trends scoured: make up and nails

I am pretty much covered for super bright lipstick — it’s pretty much the only thing I wear. My go to lipstick brands are NARS and MAC. But for lower end brands, Revlon and Australis can’t be beat. Here are some examples (some kind of grainy webcam shots and older shots, sorry about that) of [...]

• It was brought to my attention that I was featured in Fashion Review's Top Australian Fashion blogs of 2012. It is totally awesome to be included in amongst such fantastic fashion blogs. I am so flattered! #
• I have put myself on a spending ban for clothing -- my poor, bursting wardrobe cannot take it anymore. That doesn't mean that I can't purchase (or wishlist at least) accessories and shoes. I came across Look Delicious the other week and pretty much fell in love with the bright, shiny colours. I am from Queensland after all. I need to live up to our turquoise obsession. Current wants: The shoe range seems to only go to a 40 (is that a 9?), but I hope there might be an expansion at some time. #
• I was recently contacted by NixCo, a film PR agency based in Sydney to ask if I could write about a new movie that is coming out today: Bill Cunningham, New York. I've never written about movies that I want to see before, as most of them aren't exactly relevant when it comes to fashion-related subjects that I write about. But finally, there is a movie I want to see AND it's related to fashion. How lucky can you get! Bill Cunningham is a street style photographer that has been on the scene for years -- decades, actually. I often check his photographs out during Fashion Weeks in particular, because I love his eye. I think he takes the most diverse photos there are at the moment (as diverse as you can get in the fashion scene!) -- he doesn't seem to care what's "in" or "fashion", and I really enjoy the personality that shines through in individual photographs. He seems to bring it out in the people he shoots. The movie follows the notoriously private Cunningham and shows a solitary, quiet man, who has an obssesive love for his work. It interviews various people in Bill's life -- from his colleagues to fashion editors and New York society staples and reveals a side of New York City that isn't often captured. I cannot wait to see it. #
• I've just noticed I've been written about on Dealies -- here's the post. They appear to be a new site for Australia, joining the market on collecting daily group deals throughout the internet from fashion to restaurant vouchers. This appeals to my sense of both organisation and laziness -- having every daily deal in the one place means I can search through the site and not have to endlessly google what I'm looking for. I'll be honest, I also enjoy that they've got a section on plus sized fashion blogs and have decided to write about my site. I'm only human! I like publicity as much as the next person. They say they hope to have some plus sized buying deals in the future, so I'll definitely be keeping an eye out. Plus sized clothing is expensive enough in Australia, anything that would be able to point out discounts and vouchers is a-ok in my book. #
