Gowns Galore with Canberra Couture

My work wife Renee and I were lucky enough to borrow a dress from local rental boutique Canberra Couture for the Lifeline ACT Gala Ball. I have rented dresses before, but never had the ability to go to a boutique and try the dresses on. Daniella, the owner of Canberra Couture made us feel so welcome and knew more about the type of dress that would suit my body than I would. She listened to our likes, our dislikes and possible ideas that we had. Renee and I both have very different body types, so naturally we would feel comfortable…

Suiting Up

It’s no secret I lurve me a good lady suit. A blazer and a pair of pants does wonders for my figure and always makes me feel powerful. See what I did there…Powerful…like Power Suit. I swear in another life I would’ve been Hilary Clinton’s stylist. I feel my best when I’m wearing a pink powersuit that nips in at the waist and skirts over my chunky thighs. These days it’s easy for us ladies to buy a suit online that will flatter our figure, you’ve just got to know where to look. That’s where I come in. I’ve been…

Dress Rentals: My Experiences So Far…

I get a number of messages now and again from a few friends and followers about my recommendations for renting a dress. I’ve rented a number of dresses a number of times, and think it’s a great way to save money on a dress, as well as space in your wardrobe. So many times in the past I’ve bought a beautiful dress, worn it once, and then popped it in the back of my wardrobe to gather dust. I’ve also found that with social media there’s a lot more pressure to wear something different to every occasion and follow that…

As we settle into the colder months it can become easy to dress for comfort. It’s so tempting to forgo style and focus solely on practical matters like keeping your hair frizz free on a windy day and layering up. But don’t dismay.

So I’ve put together a list of my favourite online stores to complete your mid-winter wardrobe refresh. THE ICONIC An Australian based store that has absolutely everything. It’s got a range of…

Currently Style Stalking…

I go through phases. Phases of food that I love…perfumes I wear…going to the gym…not going to the gym! This little brain in this big head of mine is constantly changing it’s mind. But one thing I always do when I have a bit of downtime is stalk some of my favourite lady icons and see what they’re wearing right now. I do it sometimes on Instagram…or just a good old fashioned magazine. Don’t you just love some pretty pictures? At the moment I’m loving all the hair accessories on Instagram, the oversized clips, the silky hair scarves and the…

Wardrobe Staples: Dresses Edition with PrettyLittleThing

As a kid our dress up box was my place of happiness. It was where I could transform into whoever I wanted to be, whenever I wanted to be them. One quick look through our family photo albums and you’ll see numerous costume changes and plenty of fabulous dresses. I have always believed that clothes can have power. A great fitting dress, or a new colour palette can change your mood, or set you up for the day ahead. Getting dressed in the morning should be an enjoyable experience. On days that you are not required to wear a ‘work’…

My 2019 Style Resolutions

I know that there’s a lot of talk about resolutions being rubbish, but I genuinely think there is no harm in using the turn of a New Year as a way of taking a moment to realise how you’d like to change your life, or certain parts of it in the following year. I mean, when did the idea of self growth become a negative thing? Sure I know there is the likely probability that I will not achieve all of my resolutions, but I certainly don’t see the harm in trying to change my life for the better, do…

Eshakti for Everywoman

I know what you’re all thinking. What is eShakti and why is it for everywoman? I recently discovered eShakti online after being approached by a member of their media staff for a collaboration. Now before I say yes to any collaboration, especially if it involves clothes, I have a good look at the website and the products on offer. When I found eShakti’s range I was very pleasantly surprised. eShakti is a very unique company. All of its products are designed to suit and express the classy modern day woman, and accommodate all of our wardrobe needs. The signature eShakti…
