Style your shape and look fabulous
I live in Australia, in the sub-tropics, which is very lovely, but, the thing is, the weather has this thing in the early spring. Don’t get me wrong, it’s my favourite time of year. The cold weather just breaks and suddenly the days are long and toasty warm, the mornings are cool, the sun shines, [...]
Ever since I came out with my wardrobe confession and started rectifying the situation I have to say I’ve felt so uncomfortable. One of the things that I’ve done is cut my hair. I always sort of picture myself, you know when I’m done transforming and am finally the svelte, well dressed, fabulously wealthy person [...]
I’ve just read this book What to Wear, Where: The How-to Handbook for Any Style Situation and got to say at the end of the day it wasn’t terribly useful. Which is not to suggest that the outfits weren’t fantastic, because they were, or that it wasn’t thorough, because it most definitely was, with all [...]
The first rule of style is fit: you cannot be stylish is if your clothes don’t fit, whatever your size. And more important than that, regardless of your size or shape you deserve to wear clothes that are comfortable. I’m not a person who subscribes to the whole “you’re fat, oh my god, cover it [...]

If you’re me, the days are getting longer and warmer and that warm tropical breeze is blowing from the north. Summer is on it’s way. Unless of course you’re not in the southern hemisphere, which my stats tell me is most of you, in which case the opposite is happening. The days are getting shorter [...]
If you have large thighs you may or may not be very conscious of them. Your goal will be to draw attention upwards and away and minimise your uncomfortableness. OPT FOR: Darker colours on the lower half Wide leg or straight leg pants and jeans that fall from the hips A-line skirts AVOID Boot cut [...]
I’ve defined my style and gone through and got rid of anything that doesn’t seem like my style any more. All good things. But I kind of thought by now I’d be buying up a storm, but, not so much. In fact I’ve not bought anything at all. It’s kind of frustrating. I realise it’s [...]
I’ve identified my personal style, or at least what I’m aiming for, so the next step in the process is to go through what I currently have and eliminate anything that doesn’t fit that style. I have a secret: I’ve been trying to make this change for years; ever since I started this blog which [...]
