Autograph

Autograph sent me a bunch of clothes the other week to review, which was very nice of them. I thought I’d do something a little different and showcase how myself, my sister and my mother would wear each article of clothing. We are all different sizes and all but one article of clothing fit the [...]

Dealies

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 [...]

Melbourne shopping weekend

I spent the weekend in Melbourne, shopping up a veritable storm. I’m … actually a little scared to look at my bank account right now, ooops. I finally managed to hit up Dream Diva, where I bought a soft pink unstructured blazer, and my sister a full bright pink skirt on sale, and the skirt [...]

Torrid? More like horrid*

* title shamefully stolen. Nowadays, I order clothes online a fair bit. I was late to do it, but once I started, I became obsessed! It’s really a case of knowing your measurements, asking around and, well, pot luck. So far, I’ve been pretty lucky. In all my ordering, I’ve only had to send one [...]

Moda Target – 100% happy? Not so much

It felt like a large corporation had actually listened to plus sized consumer complaints and decided to adjust their marketing and buying accordingly. Clothing came out, it was young, affordable and fashionable. I was pleased. I bought plenty of [...]

Lane Bryant

I do believe I will be boycotting , despite their apology — which wasn’t even made directly to the artist. Not that I would have shopped there anyway — far too overpriced and shipping from US stores to Australia is astronomical. Backstory: Lane Bryant’s Twitter saw some of Natalie’s wonderful shirt designs and objected. Apparently [...]

Layer it up

I know I’ve talked about layering before — it’s pretty much a winter dressing staple, especially in our climate. When it can be utterly freezing in the morning, so much so you have to rug up with a coat and scarf, to positively boiling at lunch time, where you feel like you have to peel [...]

Harbinger of Fug

You know what I object to? Paying a whole bunch of money for fugly clothes. Now, obviously, fug is in the eye of the … fugholder. One person’s fug is another person’s fab. I’m sure there’s a whole wardrobe of items that I wear that other people wouldn’t be caught dead in. And that’s ok. [...]
