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: 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 [...]

A Dress Helped Me Love My Body

August 2, 2012 in Anecdotes, Body Image, Fashion, Health, Mental Health, People, Society, Stories, Style

I studied the dress on the hanger. It was bright, stripey and colourful. The navy stripes of the singlet top changing into green at waist height, then into orange as it traveled to the floor, caught my eye. I was reminded of summer and fun. But it was in the straight size section. The larger size section that I had already perused was full of boring drab colours and shapeless tunics. I wanted this dress. The old me would have sighed, and walked away. The new me of the last few years, living on a diet of body positive blogs [...]

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 [...]
