Ducks are cool: Ezibuy Sara spray jacket

April 30, 2014April 30, 2014 / Lisa / 3 Comments

I was sitting in my hot, humid Sydney apartment a few months ago just cruising the internet when I got an email.

It was a marketing email from Ezibuy offering 20% off until midnight. I don’t even really know why I opened it. I hadn’t really opened an Ezibuy email in about 18 months, around the same time I had last looked at the website and what they were selling. I used to own a lot of clothes from Ezibuy, but when I moved to Australia, I guess I kind of just went off them.

So I decided to peruse the website to see what they had to offer in plus size brands. I was quite impressed. There were definitely a few things that I liked, but nothing that really shouted ‘BUY ME NOW’. Until I came across the Sara Spray Jacket in Black Duck.

I HAD TO HAVE IT.

Aussie Curves – Hipster

April 26, 2014April 30, 2014 / Lisa / 13 Comments

My wardrobe is kind of a mix of styles, but mostly I like to associate with the punk, rock, chic style. So when it came to Hipster week for Aussie Curves, I thought I was good.

Then I got stuck for ideas.

I took to Pinterest and searched for Hipster. Most of the results were pantyhose with short shorts, flannelette shirts and boots. But what also popped up were a lot of cute cuddly jumpers. I had just the thing.

When I first set eyes on this dress at the City Chic Pitt St store opening it was love at first sight. It was perfect with it’s black and white kaleidoscope pattern, spikes on the shoulders and the vinyl. Oh the vinyl.

So when it came to choosing what to wear for Aussie Curves Body Con week, well, it was a no-brainer.

Isn’t it GORGEOUS?!

Toblerone Cheesecake

I have had this post on my to do list for months.

Like, actually. I made this cheesecake back in December as a Christmas present for my co-workers. We had a pretty awesome lunch with ordering a whole heap of pizzas to the office and the digging into the cheesecake. It was loved. It was devoured. It was delicious.

So finally, I bring you the amazing pictures taken of the Toblerone cheesecake, which is definitely going to become one of my favourites.

Oooooooooh, yeeeeeeeeah.

Aussie Curves – Pattern Clash

April 11, 2014April 12, 2014 / Lisa / 10 Comments

It has been a long time since I did an Aussie Curves post, but I’m back!

This week’s theme is Pattern Clash. I don’t tend to own a lot of patterns. I shy away from them as I see them as too ‘out there’ for me, most of the time. If I do buy patterns, it is because they are fairly subtle, or are within the stripes/polka dots style of pattern, nothing too major.

Now, pattern clashing is meant to be a huge trend this winter. And one tip I have picked up is that the best way to clash is to keep with the same colour palette.
