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?!
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.
Hi everyone.
I know I haven’t really blogged, like, at all this year. I guess it was a combination of factors. After returning from holidaying in the Gold Coast, I returned to work. As soon as I started back, it was full-on. I was working long hours and had a lot to do. Stress soon took over and with added stress, depression started to take hold again. I found the black dog had well and truly come to stay. In order to get back to my happy place, I knew I had to make changes. I just didn’t know what. In the end, I decided to resign from my job. It was an incredibly hard decision. The people I worked with are absolutely awesome and I miss seeing them everyday. Soon after I had resigned, Man Piece got a job offer in Wellington. It was an easy decision to make, as moving back to Wellington was always our end game. Instead of looking for a new job in Sydney, I began packing up my life and looking for jobs in Wellington.
We’ve been back about a week and a half now. I can feel happy returning and the creative juices beginning to flow. For the first time in months I actually want to blog! And write and go out and see friends. A huge change from only a few months ago.
So, to catch you all up on my life in the last few months, and some of the outfits I have worn, here is a post full of pictures and outfits.
Our view from the apartment we stayed in at Broadbeach.
Last week I checked my emails to see that I had one sitting there from ModCloth. Curious, I opened it.
I was being invited to participate in the Uniquely You Campaign by ModCloth. What is it, you ask? Each week a few fashion bloggers are sent an image of a piece of clothing available through ModCloth and they have to create an outfit with up to seven other items available for sale from the store. This sounded like fun (and I’ve been in a bit of a blogging funk lately, I thought it would be just the thing to get me going again), so I was in.
The piece of the week was the Fruity Suity One Piece. (Yes, plus size. It runs up to a 26.)
I know I have been absent from here for about a month, I apologise. I hope to do a catch-up post shortly, but this could not wait.
The Grammy Awards were today and naturally, fashion was a big talking point.
I just wanted to say, I absolutely LOVE Katy Perry’s dress by Valentino. It is gorgeous.
And she is absolutely flawless.
