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…

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.

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…

Style Hacks with Maryanne Irhia

The clothes that I put on my body are a freedom of expression. It’s a creative outlet. It’s the way that I choose to represent myself to the world. I experiment, envision, then create. I revel in wearing things that are a bit more controversial. I would describe my fashion style as bohemian chic. It compliments my free spirited and laid back personality. I choose comfort over style and adorn my body in loose and whimsical top and skirts. I am romantic in nature and express that side of myself through floral prints. And that is beautiful and powerful thing.…

Currently on the Lust List

I’m always trying to save money. ‘Trying’ to save money can be very hard. Especially when you have fabulous taste in clothing, and shoes, and a penchant for new makeup products. So the next few items are what I have been constantly looking at online. I haven’t bought them as yet. I certainly can’t afford to buy them all. Online shopping is so dangerous. It’s not like ‘real’ shopping when you hand the money over. It’s a bit like you never used the money at all. Or in my case, you simply forget. Last week I checked my bank balance…

Dressing Up with Daniel Wellington

These days with smartphones in our pockets and days filled with desk jobs sitting at computers with the time in the top right hand corner, the traditional watch may seem obsolete. But why should we wear a watch? And why do I continue to wear one, even though I have a smartphone. I have the ‘watch tan’ to prove it… I think wearing a watch looks good. Sure, I know I might sound shallow, but ever since I can remember part of my morning routine after brushing my hair or ironing my clothes was putting on a watch. It just…

All About Abbey Road Vintage

I love VINTAGE. I love finding unique pieces that you can’t find in mass produced retail stores. I like the fact that I can feel safe in knowing that when I walk down the street I won’t see two other girls wearing the same thing as me. I have professed my love for clothing store Abbey Road Vintage before. The store’s owner, Belle Strahorn, has a unique selection of quirky and bohemian pieces. Her eye for detail and the latest trend is evident, with her latest stock of colourful tassel earrings, and fresh denim pieces for summer. My latest work…
