Shopping: Top Plus Size Picks from ASOS

January 24, 2013 in Fashion, Style

Welcome to 2013 lovely readers, and here’s my first fashion post. Today I’m sharing with you some selections from Asos Curve, sizes 20-26. I like Asos for its free shipping and good mark downs (they have a great 70% off section). I would love to see them make larger sizes, and have more items available in the Curve section. Midi Skirt in Jersey $29.96 First up is a great addition to your basics, a pencil skirt. This skirt is made of soft jersey, and stretches so your movement isn’t hampered. Also, it’s comfy. I own this skirt and find it goes [...]

Shopping: Polka Dot Party!

November 8, 2012 in Fashion, Style

I love polka dots. This week the fashion blogger group I’m a part of had polka dots as their theme, and when it came to writing a shopping post I thought I needed to share the polka dot love. Today I’m bringing to you the interweb clothes, shoes, jewelry, stationery and accessories featuring my most beloved of patterns. I’m featuring my local store Catfight Collections a bit here, as I like to support them and their clothes are awesome (and quite polka-dotty). The clothes and shoes are bit pricier than my usual fare, but the accessories, jewellery and stationery are [...]

Australian Style Exclusive: ASOS Summer Collection

October 11, 2012 in Fashion, Lifestyle, Style

Many of you will know of the online, UK-based, clothing store ASOS. With great sales and free worldwide shipping, ASOS are a continual online stop for me. And they have not been ignoring their Australian customers. ASOS opened an Australian office so returns and refunds are now local postage, and this week they went a step further. They created an exclusive summer collection specifically for Australians. We get to buy these clothes first, people! The collection launched on Monday, with a variety of their trademark pretty dresses, jewellery, shoes, swimwear and separates. Before I tell you how pretty the stuff is, [...]

A Love Story: Me And ASOS

August 16, 2012 in Fashion, People, Self, Style

Hello. My name is Monique and I have an addiction to online shopping. More specifically, I have an addiction to ASOS. If you’ve not heard of ASOS, let me fill you on the the website that has both enriched and starved my life. I was first introduced to ASOS in April last year. One of my dormies, lets call her Anne as that is, in fact, her name, asked my opinion on which coat out of a few she could buy. I looked at the selection, impressed by how cute they were and how reasonably priced. I then made the [...]

I know I know it’s winter, but this is the time to get the warm season clothes online, for cheap! I’ve made a lovely list of dresses in sizes 6-26 so there should be something for everyone.

Here is the same dress in sizes 6-18 (limited since it’s on clearance). $20.41 [...]

Brighten Up Your Winter in a Coat

May 3, 2012 in Body, Fashion, Style

The thing I love about overseas clothing stores is that their sale section is full of clothes that are coming into season in Australia. I’m going to share with you my very affordable coat picks for winter from Asos Curve. Being in the sale section, all sizes won’t always be available, and they won’t be there forever. Warning: my picks will nearly all be colourful. I love colour, especially in winter when the skies are so dreary. A great light coat for flinging over clothes. Love the bright colour of the mac. Can be found here for $53.89. Sizes 22-26 available [...]
