Fashion: My Plus Size Picks for Winter

April 24, 2013 in Fashion, Style

As the weather turns cooler, and the stores start their mid season sales, I bring to you my plus size fashion picks from ASOS Curve. I usually turn to ASOS this time of year, as they have their 70% off sale, and given that they’re in the UK, their cooler clothes are now in the sale. Score! ASOS has free shipping, and sizes in Curve range from 20-26. They have also started stocking Inspire items from UK store New Look, some of which goes up to 28 (which is awesome and I hope they keep doing it). Given that I’m [...]

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 [...]

Spring Racing Fashion: Oaks Day

November 1, 2012 in Fashion, Nails, Style

We’re talking spring racing fashion once again! We previously featured the black and white theme of Derby Day, now it’s time to shift style gears from monochrome and modern to floaty and feminine. Traditionally known as ‘ladies day’, the third day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival is Oaks Day. For women, this is the perfect chance to show off their own signature style. Fashions on Oaks Day tend to be quite ladylike – think pastels, florals, romantic and pretty. The winner of the national Myer Fashions on the Field competition is also announced on Oaks Day, further reinforcing it as [...]

Spring Racing Fashion: Derby Day

October 18, 2012 in Entertainment, Fashion, Style

The 2012 Melbourne Cup Carnival kicks off on Saturday 3 November with the most traditional of race days – Derby Day. Derby Day is certainly a striking day fashion-wise, as the dress code calls for black and white attire for women. Considered by some as the single best day of racing, it is a great chance to take advantage of the monochrome colour palette and either work with what you’ve already got hanging in your wardrobe or – and this is the much more fun option – hit the shops and paint it black. And white. While researching our picks [...]

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 [...]
