Apparently, in winter all the colour in my wardrobe disappears. I was looking at my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/waituntilsunset/">instagram feed </a>and marvelling at how much black I've been wearing lately. Black is so comfortable and easy in the cold and when that Mercury drops I seem to start reaching for these trusty black basics. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">But where's the fun in being basic right?! <br /></span><br />

So, could it get any more fabulous than this pastel faux fur coat?! Ben calls it my Sully jacket. Legitimately though, one of the best things about Monsters Inc. was Sully's luscious blue and purple fur. I've never wanted to smoosh something more. Watching the movie while wearing this jacket pretty much makes it a 4D experience! So yes. This coat. I adore it! Its old season <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/">BooHoo</a> but I'm hopeful they bring out something similar later this year (if you are anyone with a bit of pull in that department, I'd love a pink version please! ;). It also happens to be incredibly warm and delicious. It really does feel like I've wrapped my doona around my shoulders and I'm wearing it to the shops. <br />

I loved these bright Jessica Kane collection, Society+ <a href="http://society-plus.com/search?type=product&q=scuba+skirt">scuba pieces.</a> Apart from being super comfy, they come in so many different pretty colours AND have pockets! Plus they always get me lots of attention and compliments, I have them in a few colours already and the others are caaaalllliiinnnggg me. My wardrobe needs them right?! <br />

<a href="http://society-plus.com/collections/caged-crop-tops">The caged tops</a> are so fab. It's so nice to be able to buy something so on trend and sexy like my skinny girlfriends. I always feel like a rockstar when I wear these tops. Plus Ben is a definite fan of how good they make your boobs look! </div>

I feel like winter is *finally* here in Brissy so I'm getting all my jackets out of storage! Last weekend I unboxed one of my most prized items, this pink leather jacket designed by <a href="http://www.nicolettemason.com/">Nicolette Mason</a> for <a href="http://mynt1792.com/">MYNT1792</a>.<br />

I forget how much more fun fashion is when it's cold. Sometimes I wish we lived somewhere cooler so I could layer up more often. I always feel like its easy to look chic when you can add more textures and layers. That and a pink leather jacket, I mean, how can you go wrong?! </div>

I snapped the jacket up as soon as it was released. I'd seen some promo photos for <a href="http://mynt1792.com/">MYNT1792s </a>blogger collection and this one was my definite favourite. I'm a pink girl through and through. As ridiculous as it is, if it comes it pink, I'll happily wait longer or pay a little more to get it. Insane but true!<br />

My Mum and Dad bought me these <a href="http://www.tukshoes.com/black-bunny-heels-a8967l">bunny heels</a> (Aussie's can find them <a href="http://www.theiconic.com.au/black-bunny-face-anti-pop-heel-378371.html?wt_se=au.sem_nonbrand.google.pla.adgroup.ad&kpid=TU524SH28NST&gclid=Cj0KEQjwnv27BRCmuZqMg_Ddmt0BEiQAgeY1lxbedxNwrYXOQxYrDdgjwDeRRYJB_DI-8oPdZ-Kp4RoaAn3i8P8HAQ">here on The Iconic</a>) for my birthday, how gorgeous are the little ears! As pretty as they are, they aren't the most comfortable of heels around, so I have to admit I switched them for some basic flats later in the night. But with flats and the comfy harem pants, I could party all night! </div>

Well helllllllllo 2016! How did you sneak up on me and where have you already gone?! It's been a quiet on the blog front, lately there seems to have been less time for the laptop and more Instagram photos on the go. Well, no time like the present, I've got some fun things in the pipelines ready for you team! So let's kick this year off (albeit three months late!), with a bit of husband handsomeness! <br />
<br />
I was so excited when the Johnny Bigg team asked us to choose some
pieces for Ben to wear again. It was great fun dressing him up last time
and a nice change for me to get behind the camera. Plus it's always fun to
see the man you love looking handsome! And handsome he does! <br />

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">For the first outfit, we went for a casual look. Ben had wanted a tan jacket for as long as I can remember, so when the <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/MARLON-HOODED-PU-JACKET.aspx?p1564219&cr=c3zy__121159">Marlon Hooded PU jacket</a> popped up in the new arrivals, I snapped it up and we built an outfit around it. The jacket has a great, relaxed, slouchy feel with a zip off cotton jersey hoodie. But it still has such awesome structure that it makes even the comfiest of looks seem pulled together. </span></div>

vintage-basketball feel to them. Plus they are going to get heaps of wear heading into the cooler months. I swear he's never mastered the casual, closed in shoe look before, but these shoes made it easy! <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/MONAE-STRETCH-CUFF-PANT.aspx?p1568159&cr=c3zy__121159">The pants</a> are a different style </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">for
Ben, but I loved the idea of him wearing the elastic cuffed ankles, I
knew they were going to look awesome on him. He always jokes about what
great legs he has, not going to lie though, they are pretty fantastic!
Plus how totally rad do high tops and cropped pants look together?!

<span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0); font-family: inherit;">He wore the outfit last Sunday afternoon, when we popped out to play around with a recent op-shop find. This Russian made, 1970s Zenit-E camera was $20 at Chandler markets, I couldn't resist! </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">We both get a kick out of old cameras and between us we've collected quite a few. (Check out this 8mm video camera I found a few years back too!)</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "helvetica neue light" , , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>Ben has become such a fan of <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/">Johnny Bigg</a> that we snapped up almost a
whole new wardrobe for him in the Christmas sales. The brand has been a
real eye opener for Ben, and truly, I think it's got him thinking more
about what he's wearing. He's always been a bit of an old soul when it
came to <span style="font-family: inherit;">dressing</span> up. Ben was the one in grandpas hand-me-down loafers
while the other guys were wearing Etnies. He had this insane collection
of vests when I first met him as well. The style was always there, he
just wasn't very good at bringing it all together. Especially being a bigger guy, it was always hard to find the right cuts and sizes that he wanted. I feel like Johnny
Bigg has given him a bit more insight into what he feels (and looks!)
best in. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">So
when I suggested adding some navy suspenders (or braces?!) to his more
formal look, we ran with it! I love the classic twist it gives to the
outfit, it looks almost like I could have plucked him out of somewhere
in the early 1900s. Looking back at these photos the next day, I felt
like there was a bit of <i>'make it count, meet me at the clock'</i>
Titanic-Jack-ness about it. The look is cheeky and playful, dressed up,
without being ostentatious. And it's sexy. Sexy for the win!</span><br />

I love brown, smart lace-ups. They add such a punch to any outfit and <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/BARBER-LACE-UP-SHOE.aspx?p1564975&cr=ksoe__094431">these did not disappoint</a>. Ben wears his old black lace up JB shoes to work everyday and they are still in such good condition. It's worth the investment when you know you're buying a shoe like this that can easily be worn dressed up or down and will last through the seasons. Plus the colour looks fantastic with the grey and navy hues. <br />
<br />
Ben has always been a fan of stripes and checks, the print makes up a large quantity of his wardrobe, so the check shirt was a definite must have. We actually had a totally different outfit in mind for the smart casual outfit originally, but the stock sold out so fast we missed it! Nonetheless, both looks started with a simple check shirt and we went from there! I love the solid coloured inside cuffs on the <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/RUBEN-CHECK-SHIRT.aspx?p1568341&cr=c3zy__112303">Ruben Check shirt,</a> little details like this are so chic and add so much style. Ben is wearing a size 2X here and it fits him perfectly. He often has trouble with shoulders being too big if he sizes up for his belly, but these are cut so well, the great fit is what keeps him going back to the website to buy more. God forbid they open a store near us, I'd never get Ben out of it! </div>

Grey dress pants are such a style staple. No <span style="font-family: inherit;">matter</span> the year, no matter the current fashion, a grey pair of slacks will always look fashionable. Think about it next time you notice a well dressed man, he's probably rocking some grey tones. Ben has always been a slacks fan (you've probably read me whining about how it took years to convince him to wear anything BUT dress pants), so it was a no brainier that his more formal look would feature a pair. The <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/CONISTON-STRETCH-DRESS-PANT.aspx?p1564941&cr=c3zy__112303">Coniston Stretch pants</a> are so effortless, they tie the whole look together perfectly. Ben wore this outfit out for some drinks last Monday afternoon and he got so many compliments about how great he looked. Even my Mum, a notoriously tight lipped, tough-to-impress lady (imagine Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada-esque and you'll get an idea), commented how much she liked the look when I sent her a photo and if that isn't the greatest praise, I'm not sure what is!</div>

Merry Christmas! The festive season is, like for a lot of people, my favourite time of year. People are nicer, family is around, food is abundant, places are decorated, sales are crazy and its the season for parties! Which I take as meaning it's totally legitimate to dress up (costumes or otherwise), all the time. </div>

Last weekend we were invited to a fancy Christmas Soirée with some of Ben's buddies. And the invite seriously said that. Soirée. I felt both grown up excited and nervous at the same time. Grown up because, well, only adults with their shit together get invited to soirées right? And nervous because I was going to have to bring out the big guns wasn't I. <br />

The team at <a href="http://www.17sundays.com/">17 Sundays</a> sent me this gorgeous, jersey, 'Steal My Sunshine' dress. It's classically cut, pleated skirt totally fit the swanky category for me. (At the time of this post, the dress is currently sold out on the 17 website. But they are carried in-store at <a href="http://www.myer.com.au/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchDisplay?searchTermScope=&searchType=1002&filterTerm=&orderBy=0&maxPrice=&showResultsPage=true&langId=-1&beginIndex=0&sType=SimpleSearch&metaData=&pageSize=12&manufacturer=&resultCatEntryType=&catalogId=10051&pageView=image&searchTerm=&facet=mfName_ntk_cs%253A%252217%2BSundays%2522&minPrice=&categoryId=17877&showFacet=Y&storeId=10251">Myer</a>! If they don't have one in your size, ask the Myer staff if they can track one down for you, they've got mad skills.) </div>

The dress is so soft and comfortable to wear. The material has such a luxurious feel that when I unwrapped it from its packaging, it shimmied across my hand and the foil gold dots caught the sunshine coming through my bedroom window. Now I know that sounds super corny, but it's the absolute truth! I knew straight away I wanted to style it with a modern-vintage glamour twist, it was just too beautiful to not put the extra bit of effort into my outfit. </div>

I wanted to draw some attention to the subtle, shimmering of the dots so
I added a gold plate belt and clutch to make them pop. One of my
favourite thrifted finds was this divine hard case, clasp clutch. Its
such a beautiful piece and I always get compliments on it when I use it.
We must have partied a bit too hard though, because at the end of the
night the closure button had popped off! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The dress has lot of stretch and definitely went the distance comfort wise. The material is light but has enough weight to maintain its pleated drape when walking and standing. For sizing notes, I'm wearing a 26 here which in hindsight probably was a bit big. I had asked the ladies to send me the 26 when the 24 in the <a href="http://www.17sundays.com/shop-9/electric-love-tee-dress">Electric Love Dress </a>was a bit tight around my belly. That said, the material is completely different though and with the stretchy jersey you would easily get away with a size or two on either side of your regular. <br />
<br />
It was still light out
when we left and I knew some of the party would be on an outdoor deck,
so I had to wear my felt H&M hat for a bit of added drama. Finishing
off the outfit with some black lace gloves and I was ready to soiree!<br /></div>

I've been blonde for almost five years now and it took a good six months of different bleaches and tone mixing until I achieved the light blonde colour I'd always wanted. Understandably, once I'd found the perfect shade I was pretty happy to sick with it for as long as I thought I could pull it off. And well, when my hair dresser called me to tell me she was retiring, my whole (hair-related) world came crashing down around me! What was I going to do?! Stay blonde and try to achieve the same look with a new stylist, or use my last appointment with her to finally do the big change we had talked about for years?? I asked the team over on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/waituntilthesunset">my Facebook page</a> what they thought and the answer was a resounding: GO OUT WITH A BANG!<br />

So, a bang we did! Bright red and ten inches cut off! Going red had been something my hairdresser and I had talked about since the wedding last year. My hair needed a break from the bleach and it was time to let go of the straggly ends I'd been holding onto. Naively, I didn't event think about how much of my wardrobe was built around the fact that I had platinum blonde hair.<br />
<br />
To make things work with the new colour, I had to reshuffle a chunk of my everyday wardrobe around and even unearthed a few pieces from storage! Some of my old favourites clashed too much with the vibrancy of the tone and they just didn't look quite right. So, not only has it been a hair reinvention, but the new colour has forced me to rethink my style as well. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This outfit sums up some of my fashion changes nicely. More blues, neutrals and golds! I'm a silver girl at heart but gold really pop against the red. I've been reaching for my gold tone accessories more and more as I get used to the new colour. I love these New Look sunnies with graduated brown lenses and gold wire rims, they are the perfect clash against the red. Even just gold accents like the bar on these <a href="http://www.target.com.au/">Target </a>wedges seem to tie the colours back together so well. </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I've also rediscovered my love of neutrals. Caramels, tan, deep sand, beige and rich khakis are my go-to colours! My new <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/">JORD Wood Watch</a> has been on high rotation since the new change, it's creamy, honey maple works so well with my skin tone and balances the bold red perfectly. With its hand crafted, natural wood, no two watches will ever be the same. It's pretty cool knowing that you have a one-off piece that's all your own, it makes it that much more special! And with the added glam of the rose gold face and Swarovski crystals, this <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/sidney/maple-and-rose-gold">Sidney series</a> watch is just divine! <br />
<br />
I thought it was so awesome that JORD will also custom size the watch to your wrist before they post it. Little details like this are what bring me back to a company. I never post about an item unless I'm super impressed with the quality and JORD ticks all my boxes- even the packaging was beautiful!</div>

I picked up this <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/">H & M</a> dress two weeks ago from <a href="http://www.westfield.com.au/gardencity">Westfield Garden City </a>shopping cente.e It's so, so rad having another physical shop that stocks plus-size that I can try on clothes at. I love online shopping (obviously), but being able to run down to the shops and touch and feel the items makes such a difference. This lightweight dress has been a perfect Spring item for those hot days, I've worn it to the beach, the shops and dressed it up like this to wear out for some drinks. Plus the blue is such a great contrast with the red that it's so easy to wear!<br />

<div style="color: rgba(0,0,0,0.701961); text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So I want to start this post off by saying that I feel incredibly honoured to get to wake up next to my intelligent and witty best friend everyday. Its also a massive bonus that he happens to be extremely lovely to look at (a fact he still isn't very convinced about). So I have this embarrassing story that I tell to new people about our first two dates. What is forever imprinted in my mind is not what flowers he bought me, what restaurant we went to, or even what our first kiss was like (although THAT was pretty magical, if I do say so myself). It was what he was wearing that I'll never forget.</span></span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Green slacks and a red jumper.
<br>
<br>
I kid you not. And then he wore the same weird outfit, two dates in a row?! When I opened my front door, to this SUPER handsome man in the same odd outfit again, I had to ask what the deal was. Apparently, he didn't intentionally mean to dress like a novelty Christmas present. The slacks and jumper were legitimately the nicest clothes he owned at the time and so he had worn them to both dates to look his best for me.... Cue the awww's, the soppy feelings and a much needed shopping trip. And this was how our love affair began!</span></span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fast forward eleven years and I still take much delight in helping Ben choose some of his outfits. And while time has seen him develop a slightly hipster, somewhat hippy and totally cool style all of his own as well, he is always more than happy to let me give him some styling pointers. So taking a break from our usual blog program of, well, my outfits, this week Ben has stepped out from behind the camera and I'm trying my hand behind it! Australian fashion label <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/">Johnny Bigg</a> launched an online store almost a year ago and now has four shops open across the country, with two more on the way (the first in Queensland coming soon!). Johnny Bigg has been consistently releasing high quality collections of fashionable pieces for the big and tall man, so when they said they were interested in a collaboration together, I knew exactly which pieces I wanted to show Ben. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The JB team were kind enough to let us choose two outfits, so Ben had a browse online and chose one casual and one dressed up look. The best thing was, we could get everything we needed for an entire outfit from the Johnny Bigg website. From tie-clips to shoes, Johnny Bigg is a one-stop shop for the tall and plus-size man in your life. And since they stock up to a size 7XL, they are selling to that niche market that has long been excluded from affordable and mainstream, on trend fashion.
<br>
<br>
On Sunday we went out in the late morning for breakfast and Ben wore his casual outfit. This chino and collard shirt together is an easy, smart look for a trip to the pub or a weekend BBQ. It's just dressy enough to get you into the swanky places, but still comfy enough to wear everyday. </span></span>

<div style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">With shopping online, there is always that added fear that the sizing will be off. We used the handy <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/Page.aspx?category=1&element=50331">online size guide</a> and measuring instructions to find what was going to fit Ben best. They were super easy to follow and as we found out, bang-on size wise. Ben has an average shoulder width and carries most of his extra weight in his mid-section. Because of this, shirts that fit well over his belly are then often too baggy in the arms. Well Johnny Bigg have nailed the cut issues for bigger guys. This navy, spot print <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/DEUCE-SPOT-SHIRT.aspx?p1531411&cr=j3p1__064748">Deuce Shirt</a> is a perfect fit for Ben in the 2X. For those of you with vertically blessed man-friends, Johnny Bigg also carry a 'tall' and 'long' option. It gives the wearer the same great cut in a longer length. This feature is going to be particularly helpful to those guys with longer torsos, it's nearly impossible to find a good fitting, longer length top!</span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/BENNY-STRETCH-5-PKT-PANT.aspx?p1532460&cr=j3p1__061939">killer chinos</a> he is wearing are a size 40 (in the regular length, not tall) and are straight out of the pack. In a perfect world we could take them up half an inch, but at 178cm tall, I'm pretty happy with the length of these on Ben. The colour is a deep sand and has washed well, with no noticeable fading yet. And the best bit? They come with a free belt! </span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was most impressed with the shoes. Obviously the brogues style of the <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/BERKLEY-SUEDE-LACEUP.aspx?p1545779&cr=j3p1__061819">Berkley Suede Laceups </a>was an instant hit in our household and the rich caramel colour is going to be so versatile. But Ben is usually so hard to buy shoes for. He's like the princess and the pea in the shoe department, it only takes the tiniest off seam or the slightest heal pinch for them to end up in the rejected shoe pile. Well he liked these so much that not only was he happy to wear them all day, they are also getting packed into his suitcase this weekend for a trip to Melbourne!</span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I've always been a sucker for a man in a suit, and Ben certainly doesn't disappoint in the dapper department. <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/KURT-SUIT.aspx?p1534835&cr=inny__081914">The Kurt Suit is</a> a dark navy and I know it's going to see a lot of wear this coming Spring. It's made from a viscose, polyester blend and is the perfect weight to transition through the seasons.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The jacket has a double button closure, three front waist pockets and a chest pocket. Ben is always storing little bits and bobs in his pockets and he was a big fan of the included <b>THREE</b> (!) inside jacket pockets. I loved the luxe, satin feel of the polka dot lining. It's the attention to detail like this that makes an item so much more than just 'clothes'.</span></span><br>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The jacket arms were a bit long, but as I mentioned when talking about the shirt fit, that's not unusual for Ben's shape. But a centimetre or two to tailor up is always easier than trying to find and unstitch a few extra. The Johnny Big clothes are the closest Ben has had to a perfect-fit. Their cuts have a quality and style that often is not present in 'straight off the rack' fashions. One of the greatest things I've learned about dressing for your shape, is that a tailor is your best, secret weapon. Every body has a unique and individual shape and obviously, you look best in things specially designed to accentuate that. Indeed, the majority of Ben's wardrobe is custom made work shirts that we have picked up during overseas travel. Knowing a new top is now only a few clicks away has made clothes shopping much more appealing to Ben! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The basic <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/PLAIN-TIE-8CM.aspx?p1546632&cr=j3p1__065007">black tie</a> and smart loafers were a perfect combination with the dark suit. I asked Ben to consider these key pieces in his chosen outfits because I know they are going to get so much wear. You can never underestimate the appeal of a man in a <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/KARL-LACEUP.aspx?p1538670&cr=j3p1__062613">great pair of shoes</a> or a black tie, both pieces are total wardrobe staples. The shoes are a classic angled toe shape with stitching detailing that always makes for chic look. The upper and lining are real leather so after a few hours wear they fit like a dream.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">We had spent the rest of the day wandering around town and playing with the camera. Understandably the full suit ended up getting a bit warm for the sunny afternoon, so Ben loosened his tie and popped the collar. I love the grey stripe and contrast buttons on the <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/ELLIS-STRETCH-SHIRT.aspx?p1534584&cr=j3p1__061950">Ellis Shirt</a>; Ben was able to ditch the tie and still look dressed up, ready to hit the town. It's details like this that make a mans outfit. Overall we were both very impressed with the cut, quality and value of the Johnny Bigg range, so much so that we have already snapped up a few bargains in <a href="http://www.johnnybigg.com.au/">their current sale</a>! This may be the beginning of very dangerous friendship!</span></span></span></div>

Last Sunday we went to a superhero themed 3rd birthday party. Ben and I had dug some old costumes out from under the house and, seeing as we were driving to the other side of town anyway, packed some skivvies to wear out for lunch later on. So this post isn't about dressing up for something special, its about an everyday kinda look. Reading back over a lot of my blog posts, I realized I'm only posting the special ones and losing the normal ones. Here is the point where I want to make promises about posting more, but.. <i>*oh! squirrel!* </i><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The leggings I was already wearing under my (short!) Supergirl costume and the <a href="http://www.asos.com/au/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Mini-Skirt-In-Jersey/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4817510&cid=12359&sh=0&pge=1&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black&totalstyles=61&gridsize=3">jersey mini-skirt</a> over the top is my new favourite thing to wear. Its basically undies on the outside. We wear undies to cover our crotch and undies on the outside (/jersey skirt) to cover the shape of our covered crotch. Try saying that ten times in a row. Anyway, I feel a little less naked when I wear one over my leggings. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/boohoo-plus-tops+knitwear/plus-clara-spotty-swing-vest/invt/pzz98307">polka-dot tank</a> and the <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/boohoo-plus-tops+knitwear/plus-orla-jersey-pocket-cardigan/invt/pzz99024">grey cardi</a> are both BooHoo bargains. Each piece is going to set you back $16! And I've lived in them the last six weeks or so. Seriously. I picked this outfit up from a pile of clean washing by the door. And around it goes again! </div>

And of course these shoes. These heavenly, wide fit, strappy sandal wonders!

These babies went on sale for $30 and a hot second later I'd snapped them up! Its taken a few wears to get them sitting right, but the break-in has been worth it for a comfy extra two inches!<br />

I'm a big fan of denim. Maybe not as much as <a href="http://sugercoatit.com/">Suger</a>, but I would definitely say I'm a fan. Finding the perfect pair of jeans can revolutionize your wardrobe- they pretty much go with everything and can be dressed up or down with ease. Hunting down that elusive pair that sits right, fades right and is still comfy was always my yearly goal. But to be honest, I'm not really a pants fan. Of course I love my jeans, but there are so many other denim pieces that can give your outfit that same killer-chic vibe. <br />

<br />
So first off lets start with the basics: denim shorts, a skater skirt and a classic denim shirt. These three simple pieces are a game changer. I love this <a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?searchTermScope=3&searchType=ALL&viewAllFlag=false&beginIndex=1&langId=-1&productId=20260013&pageSize=20&searchTerm=DP70336996&catalogId=33053&productIdentifierproduct=product&geoip=search&x=25&searchTermOperator=LIKE&sort_field=Relevance&y=11&storeId=12552&qubitRefinements=siteId%3DDorothyPerkinsUK">sleeveless, spotted shirt</a>, you can tie it into a crop to wear with midi-skirts or even style it up with some darker denim. Playsuits and jumpsuits are everywhere lately and this <a href="http://www.17sundays.com/17sundays/pre-order">17 Sundays boiler suit</a> is the top of my lust list! The fit, the cut! It's divine!<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/blue-acid-wash-denim-look-playsuit-with-popper-fastening-p">faded romper from Yours Clothing</a> is another one of my must have pieces. I saw Tess Holliday modeling this a few months before it was released and I fell for it straight away! I can see this piece at the beach, out for lunch or dressed up with some tights and a jacket for drinks on the town! </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
If you're new to denim or don't want to go for a full chambray look, there are funky little accessories around too. A bag, a hat, denim belt or shoes; any of these will blend seamlessly into an outfit. Or better yet, break up the denim with another detail like <a href="http://www.nyata.com.au/products/shifty-thing">NYATA's sequin Shifty Thing</a>- denim and sequins, yes please!<br />
<br />

The most import at thing about denim is comfort. Easy wear t-shirt dresses, elbow patches and slouchy joggers, these are comfort to me! Somewhere in your wardrobe, you must have a <a href="http://www.asos.com/au/Alice-You/Alice-You-Denim-Shift-Dress-With-Raw-Hems/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=5357593">denim dress.</a> An easily thrown on shift dress, your favourite shoes add a necklace and bang- instant denim chic!<br />

I love darker denim most of all. Deep navy and rich blues give any outfit that dressed up feel. Even denim shorts can look dressy in a darker wash. I own one of the <a href="http://hopeandharvest.bigcartel.com/product/zip-off-light-jacket-long-sleeve-denim">Hope and Harvest denim zip off jackets</a> and I wear it all the time. When I'm not wearing it, it's because someone has borrowed it! </div>

I have a love-hate relationship with play suits. Admittedly much more love than hate. I actually I adore them, but finding the right type to suit my body shape is where the feelings get less than friendly. I have a long torso, round mid-section and wide thighs, as such, I often find that play-suits sit awkwardly on me. I saw this <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/navy-pink-tropical-floral-print-cross-over-sleevelss-playsuit-p">Yours Clothing floral playsuit </a>in a Summer teaser and it looked like it would suit my shape perfectly. It stuck in my memory so long, that when the team asked me if anything took my fancy, I jumped at the chance of giving this cute piece a go!<br />

<i><b>Clutch and necklace:</b></i> Colette </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Firstly, let my start by addressing this photo of my shoes. See those toes? Oh yes. My stockings are inside out. As comfy as <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/black-120-denier-tights-p">these tights</a> are, toe stitching drives me up the wall! I find that the higher the denier, the tougher the toe stitching is, but I figure its worth it for the deep black colouring and the confidence of knowing you can't see my undies through them! Inside out stockings can be our little secret! ;) <br />
<br />
As you can see by the photos, the suit did not disappoint! It really is perfect! I'm wearing a UK size 24-26 here (AUS size 22-24) and the elastic middle-band sits right on my natural waist. I love the deep neckline and eye-catching print. I always feel most comfortable in outfits that draw a lot of attention, crazy but true. The shorts have a very subtle flare which gives them an awesome flow and movement when walking.<br />
<br />
I often wear play-suits as a casual item, so I thought I'd change things up a bit and make this an evening outfit. We went out for drinks with some of my girlfriends last weekend and I added the jacket and stockings for a more dressy feel. This <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/black-pu-fitted-jacket-with-waterfall-front-and-zip-pockets-p">waterfall leather jacket</a> (size 22) really toughens up the look without being too structured and it kept the night chill away. How cool are the gold zips and zip pulls, little details like this make it so much more than just an ordinary throw on jacket. I kept the gold accents going by accessorizing (bagarizing?) with this large, metallic clutch' its my go to piece for upping the glam!<br />

The team from Scarlet & Jo sent me <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/en/evuk/product/brands-3362584/scarlett-jo-3359306/scarlett-and-jo-black-mesh-insert-dress-4204089?bi=1&ps=24">this dress</a> from part of their prom dress collection. I knew as soon as I saw it that it would fit like a dream. The fit and flare cut sits perfectly on my wide hips and the skirt has an attached net lining which gives just the right amount of gentle 'boof' for everyday and dressed up wear. <br /><br />Mostly I like that its a twist on an everyday little black dress. With the colour splash, the cheeky sheer panel and the flare shape, there is so much already going on that you don't need to add many accessories for it to feel like a complete outfit. <br />

From a fit point of view, <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/en/evuk/product/brands-3362584/scarlett-jo-3359306/scarlett-and-jo-black-mesh-insert-dress-4204089?bi=1&ps=200">this dress</a> is a UK size 24 and I'd say it would be on par with our AUS 22-24. The hips are cut more as a free size with the flare and its super comfortable to wear- as with every S&J piece I've ever owned. And this brings me back to what I was saying about loving the brand. Having so much faith in a brand that you can buy something online and know it'll be perfect. That might just be the holy-grail of fashion!<br /></div>

When it gets cooler, my wardrobe naturally colour tones down and I find myself wearing more grey and black. And now don't get me wrong, I love a sexy, all- black outfit, but when the sun snuck out from behind the clouds last week, I had to keep that brightness going!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Eloquii had a killer sale last month, all skirt stock was reduced to $39. Which means I picked up <a href="http://www.eloquii.com/georgette-scuba-midi-skirt/1191188.html">this midi skirt</a> (and a few others!) for a steal! I love the heavy drape of it, even on this windy day I didn't have many gusty-up skirt problems. <br /><br />The funky top is part of the <a href="http://www.nadiaaboulhosn.com/">Nadia Aboulhosn</a> x Boohoo Spring/Summer collection (<a href="http://www.boohoo.com/boohoo-plus-tops+knitwear/plus-nadia-mesh-detail-bodysuit/invt/pzz98172">find it here in black and white</a>). Its actually a bodysuit, but I wear it as a top to avoid visible camel toe. I often find bodysuits aren't cut right for my long torso and I am still on the hunt for the perfect one. But I couldn't resist the cool mesh panels and neckline, strap detailing. Its such a stand out 'Nadia' type piece, effortlessly cool. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've just rediscovered these platform jelly sandals from Betts. They were hiding in a dusty corner of my wardrobe, very sadly unloved. Slipping these bad boys on made me remember why I love platform heels so much- comfort and height ohhhh yeah! And they were a perfect addition to this white and green outfit! <br />

H&M opened at my local Westfield, <a href="http://www.westfield.com.au/gardencity/">Garden City</a> last Saturday and today I made the trip out to explore the store myself. I had purposely avoided the opening weekend as I knew it was going to be crazy-busy, but even in the middle of a weekday today it was packed! <br />
<br />
There isn't a whole lot available in the Aussie online store (I've added links to any items that are online) so I wasn't expecting much. I had a wander around the shop by myself first, checking out all the goodies. They had some pretty awesome opening specials ($2.95 shoes anyone?!) but I couldn't see any clear signs for where the plus size collection started. I ended up asking a few people who pointed me in the right direction. The range is currently on the second floor in the upper right hand corner near the door. Its not huge, maybe about ten meters cubed, but its a good start! I must have looked pretty suss walking around taking photos because it was enough that one of the shopping attendants came up to have a chat to me about it. She told me that there is still a lot of plus-size not on the floor yet and that they are waiting until it quiets down to finish all the unpacking. Nonetheless, I found several pieces I quite liked and even took a few home! <br />

I loved this 87 top right away and for $19.95 it was a steal! The letters are made with a gold, glitter material that doesn't shed and gives off a faint shimmer. I'm wearing the 2X in the top and the 24 in the <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/16794?article=16794-A">straight jeans</a>. I wish I snapped this bad boy up, putting this soft cotton tee back is my biggest regret of the day!<br />

I ended up buying this cute little striped tee because the $19.95 price tag was just too good to resist. Plus, stripes never go out of fashion! I'm wearing the 3X here and its a great, relaxed fit. <br />

I quite liked the look of this top on the hanger, but in the change room
it was another matter. I wanted to like it! I really did. But the flowy
cut (and I'm wearing the 22 here) just didn't do me justice at all. And
it was very see-through and wearing camis under tops is the balls. <br />

This <a href="http://www.hm.com/us/product/72519?article=72519-A">little jersey number</a> was my splurge of the day. It set me back
$29.95 for the 2X I'm wearing in this photo. I thought it was a little
on the expensive side, but it's so warm and soft that I justified it by
thinking I'd pay way more if I bought it elsewhere! Also, it's worth noting that it's the same price on the Aussie H&M and the USA online H&M store, I love that. Regardless of exchange rate, shipping and taxes, it's still the same! That's fashion dedication H&M! And much better than *some* USA stores that have opened in AUS. <br />

This funky sweatshirt has an awesome Footloose vibe to it. I'm wearing the 3X in this photo and I reckon even the 2X would have been slouchy and comfortable. At $29.95 its a cute little basic piece to have floating around.<br />

I looovvveeddd this sport luxe <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/85888?article=85888-A">v-neck jumper</a> but at $39.95 I've already got a few things at home that are similar. I'm wearing the 3X and it cuffs and flares perfectly. Super cute! <br />

Raglan sleeve tees always remind me of the USA. So trying on <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/72512?article=72512-E#article=72512-E">this one</a> felt just like being at H&M while on holiday in Los Angeles for me! This one comes in four colours and again at $29.95 was just out of my budget right now. Such a great fit, though. <br />

This was my favourite item of the day! The slouchy fit, classic black and deep neckline: <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/72504?article=72504-C">this tunic</a> had to be mine! I'm wearing the 4X in this photo and it is hotness!</div>
<br />
So I've been in the shop for about an hour now, 99% of what I've tried on has fit (always ignore the label guys, in the photos above I'm wearing items from the range in sizes 20, 22, 24, 2X, 3X and 4X!!) and then this happens......<br />

DUUUUHHH DUH DAAAA!!! Size 24, <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/34215?article=34215-A">skinny leg jeggings</a>, stuck on my calves. I want to add here that its not that they are too long, its that I couldn't get them passed my calfzillas! It wasn't meant to be team!!<br />

There were a few other things I liked on display, including this feminine blush pink dress, this killer <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/57345?article=57345-A">sleeveless jumpsuit</a> (which I wanted to try on but it was hanging up too high for me to reach!), a few <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/87928?article=87928-A">jersey tops</a> and this <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/39320?article=39320-D">white lace blouse</a>. Butttttt, not a single skirt was on the racks! Not a single one! And I was sooooooo looking forward to getting my hands on this <a href="http://www.hm.com/au/product/62893?article=62893-A">tulle skirt</a>! Just another excuse to go back, I guess! ;) <br />
<br />
So, like most new plus-size collections, the sizes had sold out pretty quickly. H&M Australia say that they carry sizes 18 to 28, but looking around the store, most things were sizes 16-22 with a very small handful of 24s. I didn't see a single size 26 or 28 (except for a few size 4Xs). But seeing as you can't get many of these sizes anywhere else in Brisbane, they must have sold like hotcakes! I hope H&M take note of how fast the extended sizes sell and continue to stock a large range of plus-sizes for us! <br />
<br />
From a shopping experience point-of-view, the store was busy but laid out well. Once the staff pointed out the plus-size section to me I did notice a small sign delegating the area. The staff in the change room were lovely and the lady I chatted to about the plus-size stock out the back seemed genuinely excited about the range expanding out further. Apart from a very bored (and rude) cashier downstairs who ignored me and chatted to another employee while 'serving' me, the staff were all eager to help and easy to find. <br />

At Curvy Couture Roadshow (posts coming next week!) I watched all of the fabulous fashions sashay down the runway and it rocked my world. One of my favourite standouts was <a href="http://www.nyata.com.au/">Nyata</a>. It makes me so proud to be an Aussie when I see such high fashion, original and sexy plus size designs being made. They've nailed the luxe plus-market, with gorgeous cuts and sexy detailing, I always feel amazing when I slip into one of their pieces. <br />

I jumped at the chance to get my hands on some of their new goodies and the <a href="http://www.nyata.com.au/collections/trending/products/biarkan-glitter">Biarkan Glitter </a>certainly didn't disappoint. I love that I can wear it as a top or a dress, its easy to make it totally glitzzy or just to add some sequiny sparkle to an everyday outfit. For my first wear I went for a relaxed glam feel. With some stockings and a funky clutch, it was perfect for sunset drinks by the river. And I tell you what, I felt like a rockstar! </div>
</div>
<br />
The comfy, relaxed fit of the dress was one of my favourite things about it. Its the best of both worlds, killer sexy lines with the eye-catching sequin detailing and the comfy cotton of your favourite t-shirt. How often do we suffer through an uncomfortable outfit because we know it looks good? Hard to admit but true. Nyata's designs have taken all that stress away, there is no compromising comfort for fashion here team!<br />
<br />
And now for the absolute coolest thing about Nyata? I'm wearing size Amazing (24-26) annnndddd their entire collection is available in sizes 8 to 30. Knowing I can wear the same high fashion and fabulous sequins as my thin besties is awesome!! And, when they asked me where I got my dress from, I can point them in right direction without having (that sometimes embarrassing) 'uh, but it won't fit you...' conversation. Its not about size classifications, its about looking and feeling good no matter what your body shape!<br />

As much as I love mixing things up and shopping around, the convenience of having a one-stop shop for everything I want is pretty awesome. When <a href="http://www.missguidedau.com/catalog/category/view/s/plus-size/id/1603/">Missguided</a> launched their plus-size range last year, I was super excited to give it a whirl! <br />
<br />
I had tried out their midi-skirts before (see my post <a href="http://www.waituntilthesunset.com/2015/01/ootd-cookies-and-dinosaur.html">here</a>), so when the brand said I could pick a few pieces out, I knew I wanted this <a href="http://www.missguidedau.com/catalog/product/view/id/150868/s/plus-size-paint-splash-print-midi-skirt/category/1605/">splash print </a>baby! The colours were too good to resist, I love the way the bold turquoise and deep red pop against the navy background. The size ended up being too small, so shape wise, its more a bell than a straight skirt, but it does balance out the fitted crop well. <br />

The PU material of the <a href="http://www.missguidedau.com/catalog/product/view/id/151409/s/plus-size-cropped-pu-box-top/category/1607/">crop top</a>
is much more structured than the swing cut of the one I'd worn before. I
think its rad they didn't just make one style in different prints, they
really made each top its own (I actually have all three crops from this
collection, one is scuba, one PU and one the elastic polyester). <br />

I thought the soft pink was a great juxtaposition to the other stand out colours so added the similar toned <a href="http://www.missguidedau.com/catalog/product/view/_ignore_category/1/id/131725/">triangle necklace</a> to add a little more. <br />

And the shoes. OMG <a href="http://www.missguidedau.com/catalog/product/view/_ignore_category/1/id/140233/">these shoes</a>. Shiny metallic and soft velvet. Now if I could just master the art of wearing them for longer than 'car to restaurant' I'd be set. So this whole outfit is from one place, pretty cool one-stop shop right?? <br />

There is something about sequins that just lights up an outfit. I know they are shinny, sparkly and fabulous, but you can't help but be the centre of attention when wearing them and that's kind of how I like it! No matter how ordinary I'm feeling, sequins always bring out the best in me. And sometimes you just need a bit of sparkle. <br />

<br />Ben and I had a mid-week date night last Wednesday and it was just what I needed. I've been working a lot lately and my roster is all over the shop, meaning that we've lost a lot of us time. I wanted to make the night extra special, so I turned the glam up with this <a href="http://www.nyata.com.au/collections/classics/products/shiny-semarak">Shiny Semarak top from Nyata</a>. I love the deep white v-detailing and with the gold sequin boarder, I got so many people asking me about it! <br /><br />The top has an awesome drape in the cut and sits lower at the back than at the front. Its also super soft and a perfect weight to transition between the seasons. The nights have been getting cooler (finally!) so I've dusted off my trusty <a href="https://www.sonseewoman.com/">Sonsee tights</a> and started wearing them again. Some opaque black stockings always give me the extra confidence boost I need to wear a shorter hem and this top most definitely looks best dressed with something short and sexy! Because the top has so much going on already, I didn't add any accessories apart from a kitsch clutch; because really, how could I not?!<br />

I remember the first time I saw <a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/">MYNT1792</a>, we were in New York City for <a href="http://www.fffweek.com/2012/home">Full Figured Fashion Week</a>. It was 2012 and I was just starting to feel like a 'grown up' blogger. I also thought I had a pretty good idea about my own style and favourite plus-size brands. Well this trip certainly made me widen my fashion scope! <br />
<br />
I met some of the MYNT1792 team at a shopping event, early in the FFFW schedule. It was awesome chatting to them and hearing about their ideas for the label. There was also a few gorgeous samples on hand for us to try out and see their quality. <br />
<br />
A few days later, <a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/">MYNT1792</a> was under the lights at the Indie Designs Catwalk. It was also the first night I'd seen a plus-size runway. It was awesome! I sat wide eyed the entire night, watching all the pretty designs (that I could get in MY SIZE!) go by. Liberating and eye-opening. <br />

Fast forward two years and MYNT are launching their brand into the
international market with the #MYNTheartsAU campaign and an Aussie
shopping site! When Suger told me they were keen to work together on a
post, I pretty much jumped down the phone in excitement! I could still
remember the way their collection stood out to me on the runway. Em,
Sugs and I got together and picked some of our favourite pieces from the
new range, and had a girly, fashiony morning!<br />
<a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/collections/collection/products/sheath-dress-tan"><br /></a>As always, it got a bit silly, but in some ways I think that makes the photos even better! I loved the way Suger styled up the <a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/collections/skirts/products/laser-skirt-navy">Veronica Skirt</a>, every-time I see her work OOTD photos on Instagram, I long for a job where I can wear fabulous corporate wear. I can see Suger wearing this from office to dinner and still looking like a rockstar. <br />
<br />
I love Em's funky style. She makes the cut of <a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/collections/skirts/products/flare-skirt-blue">her skirt</a> look flirty and playful. <br />
I couldn't resist the structured look of the <a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/collections/tops/products/the-fabienne-blouse-white">Fabienne Blouse</a>. I wore it with this floaty skirt to balance out its lines. I rolled up the sleeves for a cooler feel, but its size 4X cut fit my torso perfectly. <br />

The minute I saw this tan and black <a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/collections/dresses/products/sheath-dress-tan">sheath dress</a>, I instantly imagined it with big gold accessories. It had my name all over it! Emma rocks a pencil skirt cut and I love how she lightly tucked in the <a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/collections/tops/products/the-lillian-top-white">Lillian Top</a> to create such a chic silhouette. I'm putting me name on the top of the 'next to borrow list' for Suger's <a href="http://mynt1792.com.au/collections/dresses/products/wrap-dress-confetti">Diana Wrap Dress</a>. Its such a wicked mix of colours and a heavy silk feeling to it. I didn't realise how much I loved it until I saw her wearing it! </div>

Happy New Year team! My goodness, 2014 felt like it flew past. This was a relatively quiet festive season for us, lots of relaxed family time and much lazing about at home avoiding the heat! Fashion wise, I've been reaching for equally cool and comfortable clothing. I've also become a bit of a midi skirt lover, a length I've only just started to embrace.</div>

How cool is this <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/handbags/lets-have-a-ball-and-some-biscuits-bag">Butter Cookies</a> bag?! With that and my roaring dinosaur necklace, I faced the shops for the last of my Christmas buying. I swear I kept thinking I was done and then I'd remember something else we needed and have to run back to the shops again. And then end up getting stuck there for hours because of the crowds and the sales. When its days like that, you need cookies, a midiskirt and a dinosaur to get you through. <br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I visited Ben in China while he was there for work, I saw a handful of women wearing these super cute reindeer antler hats. I pretty much turned Shanghai upside down trying to find one for myself (unsuccessfully I might add), and Ben, being the kickass husband that he is, said he would try his hardest to bring one home for me. In fact, he almost missed his plane doing a last minute dash around the shops for one of these bloody hats. He came home empty handed, I was bummed about it but life went on. And then, a magical parcel arrived in the post on Thursday night. As it turned out, he and one of his Chinese work colleagues had been secret-squirreling the last few weeks to get me one. And its has barely been off my head all weekend! <br>

How totally awesome is <a href="http://www.17sundays.com/new-arrivals/smoke-and-mirrors-shirt">this 17 Sundays kimono jacket</a>?! Funny story about this top, <a href="http://www.17sundays.com/new-arrivals/smoke-and-mirrors-shirt">Suger</a> had come over for a sleep over and packed a bunch of the new 17 stock for me to try on and sigh over. I fell instantly in love with the slouchy and relaxed cut of this jacket, I love that its not trying to be boho or hipster, its just an inherently cool item of clothing in its own right. Its such a new and rad cut, so different to any of the current patterned and printed lightweight kimonos around. And apparently I fawned over it so much that Sug and the 17 crew decided I could keep it! Gems that they are! <br>

<br>I wore this outfit out last night for end of year drinks with some of Ben's work buddies. I felt cool and chic the entire night, there is something about this rocking jacket that just gives off that rad vibe. Plus, with a killer hat like this and my cute <a href="http://www.dominodollhouse.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=941">'Got Milk' bag</a>, it <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">pretty much makes for coolness without trying. </span></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Summer has hit us hard this year in Australia. It started early and with a vengeance! Because of the heat, I've been spending a lot of time in boring shorts or cropped leggings. I'm always looking for ways to throw a curve ball into my Summer wardrobe (I style up much better in the cooler months!) and from the first moment I put <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/en/evuk/product/brands-3362584/scarlett-jo-3359306/scarlett-jo-multi-floral-kimono-black-dress-3670838?bi=1&ps=200">this Scarlett & Jo</a> dress on, I knew I'd found it!<br />

The dress is super lightweight without being too clingy. I love the feel of a thin cotton-like material in Summer, breathable and soft. The long kimono is attached to the shoulders by one loop in these photos and after that first wear, I separated them so the dress and jacket are two pieces. They are both so versatile, I know I will get heaps of wear out of them!<br />
<br />
Sizing wise, I'm wearing a UK24 which fits pretty much perfectly. <a href="http://www.evans.co.uk/en/evuk/product/brands-3362584/scarlett-jo-3359306/scarlett-jo-multi-floral-kimono-black-dress-3670838?bi=1&ps=200">The dress</a> is a body-con like fit but without too much cling. The kimono is a relaxed cut with plenty of room in the arms and the waist. Together they have such an awesome bohemian vibe. <br />

I've actually worn the black dress quite a few times now, on its on just with basic accessories. I love the midi length, it's such an instant chic cut that transition between casual and dressed up easily. For this outfit, we were heading out to lunch with some of Ben's friends so I opted for a more relaxed beach vibe with the t-bar flats and flower crown. I love the way the crown compliments the kimonos colours, plus I never seem to have enough excuses to wear my flower facinators!<br />

My dream wedding was never all-white and classic. In my imaginings, it was fun, colourful and full of laughter! I always knew that the decorating was going to be a big deal for me. When you think of 'CARNIVAL', what's the first thing that comes to your mind?? To me, it was always big, lit-up marquee letters! THAT was where my wedding planning started!<br />
<br />
Making these love letters was the most drawn-out and time-consuming part of the preparation (even more-so than the origami bouquets!). They were my bridezilla moment, the one thing I had to have, no matter what. If the dodgems were rained out, if the band cancelled, or if the cake sunk, at least my decorations were killer! So, making these bad boys was a real adventure, I've written up a quick tutorial on how to make them below, or keep reading for a blow-by-blow of some of my mishaps! Good luck!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So, the most important thing to note here is: at first I thought I'd be fine to just make them out of foamboard and cardboard. It was at the light-hole-cutting stage where we realized that the light strings were going to be too heavy for the foamboard, so we started over with MDF wood sheets. BUT, we used our pre-measured and cut-out letters as stencils and just traced them onto the wood. It all worked in the end! If I was to remake something similar for a party I'd use fairy lights and foamboard, but since I wanted these to be tougher, wood was the best material. <br />
<br />
<i><b>Quick Instructions: </b></i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Measure out your letters evenly</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Cut out the letters and sand them back</div>
- Equally space the light holes along the letter<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
- Cut holes big enough for the light bases to push through so at the end you can screw the light bulbs in from the front<br />
- Cut strips of cardboard to glue along the edges (to create a shadow look with the lights)<br />
- Glue the strips down, slightly overlapping the ends of each piece to prevent light leaks <br />
- Paint your letters<br />
- Push the light bases through, screw the bulbs on the front and then tape the light strings to the back of the letters</div>
<br />
<i><b>You will need:</b></i><br />
<br />
(Note: you don't have to use the foamboard as stencils, if you feel confident enough, jump straight to the wooden board!) <br />
<br />
<u><i>Materials</i></u><br />
<br />
- Foamboard sheets or/and MDF wooden board sheets<br />
- Sheets of cardboard<br />
- Paint (and obviously paint brushes for later)<br />
- Light strings<br />
<br />
<u><i>Tools</i></u><br />
<br />
- Stanley knife<br />
- Ruler, pencil and an eraser <br />
- A compass <br />
- Power drill with round bit<br />
- Power jig-saw<br />
- Sanding equipment <br />
- Electrical/duct tape<br />

<u><i><b>Measure out your letters evenly</b></i></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The first and most important step is measuring up the letters to the size you want. Originally I used <a href="http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/quill-pvc-tough-foamboard-5-pack-qu7110wekt">these foamboard A2 sheets</a> and measured each letter to take up as much of the sheet as possible. So the basic measurements for each letter are:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>- 77cm high</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>-50cm long </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>- 12cm wide </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>- 7cm long serifs (except on the 'V')</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>-the curve in the letters started 8cm up from the straight edge. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>- Cardboard strips (which glue on later) are 9.5cm wide</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>- light bulb holes are 4cm in diameter</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All the serifs on the letters ( the little flick on the side) are 7cm long, except on the 'v' as it was going to be too squishy between them on the top of the letter. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I measured and re-sketched the letters out several times before I was happy with them. So take your time and just keep going! This is the hardest step, it's all smooth sailing from here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I cut out the foamboard stencils with a Stanley knife and the MDF wood with a jigsaw. As I'd already cut (and then changed my mind about the) foamboard, I used them as a stencil on the wood. <br />

<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<i><b>Cut out the letters and sand them back</b></i><br />
<br />
Make sure you have a few hands around for the jigsaw cutting, you need someone to help manoeuvre and keep the letter still while someone else cuts. One sneeze in the wrong direction and you might end up with an 'I' instead of an 'L'!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After cutting, I sanded down the edges using Dad's electrical sander, obviously plain old sandpaper would work fine, but since I had Dad's whole tool shed to play with, I figured I'd give it a go!</div>
<i><b><br />Cut holes big enough for the light bases to push through so at the end you can screw the light bulbs in on the front. </b></i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next step depends on what string lights you buy. We had two strings of 20 lights each so split it up to 10 lights per letter. I found it hard to get the right kind of lights so the globes were removable (otherwise the light holes have to be huge to push the globe through as well!), as most lights are now all one-piece LEDs. I found <a href="http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20-Piece-Clear-Festoon-Party-String-Light-Kit-big-bright-and-bold-/151275712001?pt=AU_Party_Supplies&var=&hash=item2338bc2e01">these ones on ebay</a> (more expensive than I intended, but worth it)! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We re-measured the letters and then evenly (or as close as we could get) spaced apart the light bulb holes. This is where your round drill bit comes in handy, the 4cm round bit from Bunnings worked perfectly! We tried so many different cutting techniques to get these holes the right size. This annoyance was another one of the reasons we upgraded the base material from the foamboard to wood. </div>

<i><b><br />Cut strips of cardboard to glue along the edges (to create a shadow look with the lights)</b></i> <i><b>and glue the strips down, slightly overlapping the ends of each piece to prevent light leaks. </b></i><br />
<br />
We cut the letter sides from cardboard as it bent easily around the curves and corners. The sides are 9.5cm wide, providing just enough space away from the lights to create a great shadow effect against the wood. We used hot glue to stick them to the wood and individually glued and overlapped every piece- make sure you do the inside of the letter first, figured that out the hard way! Ha! If you use the same kind of measurements as ours, you'll need about four sheets of A2 card. <br />

<i><b>Paint your letters and then after they are dry, push your light bulbs through and tape the strings to the back!</b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b> </b></i>Several coats of a good paint were needed before I got a good colour coverage. The MDF wood soaks up paint so deeply! The colour we picked was something like cherry red as the light bulbs brighten the paint up so much. I originally tried a genuine carnival red colour but it became really washed out once it was against the lights. <br />
<br />
And that's it! I loved the look they added to our carnival-themed wedding reception, they were a total hit! <br />

When Ben and I first started dating, I wore a lot of black. I look back on those photos and wonder where I was hiding all my colour. I do love the chic look of an all black outfit, but I always feel more confident when I dress it up with a bit of colour. Even better is a great classic LBD with a colour splash like this!<br />

I love the way <a href="http://www.igigi.com/lina-dress-in-ruby-rose.html">this dress</a> hugs my curves. The cut of it is such a classic shape and it creates a fantastic nipped in waist look, even if there isn't much actual waist there to nip-in! I've always found that IGIGI dresses lend an instant feminine glam to whatever I'm wearing, there's something about this sillehoutte that makes me feel like a woman to be reckoned with!</div>

These wedges are some of the comfiest shoes I own. I really wish I snapped them up in different colours, they are such an awesome statement shoe and I always get compliments on them when I wear them. I added my (super $6!) heart bag which is perfect for a long day out, I can almost fit the kitchen sink in this bad boy! </div>

I figured that with a killer dress and red essential pieces, the logical next step was gold accessories. I'm a major fan of belts as jewellery, yes, it's not holding anything up but man does it look pretty sitting there on my waist! If I can add a belt without looking silly, I normally do. And of course, the finishing touch is a funky necklaces. And pineapples are about as awesome as it gets! Except for unicorns. But I was fresh out of unicorns that day. </div>

Ahhhh, weddings. Its always such a mix of emotions when you open a wedding invitation: excitment that your friends are getting married, wonder, as to whether or not there will be a bar tab with beer, wine AND spirits (don't even kid yourself, you totally think about that), anticipation, as you think about who will be at the singles table, horror, as you remember the drunken dancefloor moves you busted out at the last wedding you went to and then of course, the dreaded anxiety, when thinking about what you're going to wear. So here is my secret wedding guest outfit tips:<br>
<br>
- if you're wearing heels make sure they are your comfy ones and honestly, no matter how good they are, make sure you've got flats to change into later, you don't want to be part of that table of girls who can't boogie the night away because their feet are too sore!<br>
- Be super confident about your makeup. I routinely get eyelash extensions before big events, but if money is tight I slap on some strip lashes for the night. No matter how drunk/teary/emotional you get, you still look fabulous with big, gorgeous lashes!<br>
- Get an outfit 'wower' like a facinator or a statement necklace. It takes the outfit to a whole new level and they look amazing on you all night long.<br>
- Wear a dress that you feel amazing in. No matter how good it looks on, if you aren't comfy, it will show in the way you hold yourself. Make sure it fits right, sits nice and helps you feel fabulous!<br>
<br>
I love wearing florals and pretty colours to a wedding, it always makes the day even more fun! My ideal wedding guest dress length hits right at the upper knee, it gives a flirty look of leg without being too short and is appropriate for beach, bush or church ceremonies. If I'm feeling a bit flat or *cough* didn't shave my legs *cough* I can't resist a maxi dress for weddings. When they are dressed up right you get all the comfort of your PJ's with the style of a ball gown! Winning! <a href="http://www.asos.com/little-mistress-plus/little-mistress-watercolour-print-maxi-dress/prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4241195&SearchQuery=Little+Mistress+Watercolour+Print+Maxi+Dress&pgesize=5&pge=1&totalstyles=5&gridsize=3&gridrow=1&gridcolumn=2">This floral maxi</a> ticks all the right boxes for me, bold, colourful and sexy, its sure to get the conversation flowing with people asking you where your dress is from!<br>
<br>
And the best bit about dress shopping with ASOS is that their return policy is awesome. When I've got a big event on and I'm worried about the sizing or cut of a dress, I order what I think I need and one size bigger, that way I get to choose the one I like best and send back the one that wasn't right.

Now I'm not going to lie. I adore music festival season. The bands, the energy, the sun, the drinks and the people. Just being there, taking it all in and living every second. I love it! But, if you don't dress for the party you'll end up not having much fun at all. When planning your outfit remember these tips:<br>
<br>
- Take care of yourself, make sure your shoulders are covered, I swear to you, festival sunburn might just be worse than any sunburn in the world!<br>
- SLIP, SLOP, SLAP! Get a bag big enough to carry sunscreen, a hat, some sunglasses and a refillable water bottle. Future you will thankyou.<br>
- I've been to festivals where I couldn't pack everything so I took a small kimono like cape. It was big enough that I could wrap myself in it and cover my shoulders and head when I was sitting down watching a gig, but still compact enough that I could fold it up into a small ball in my side bag.<br>
- Protect your inner thighs, its going to be a loooooong day of walking, dancing and shenanigans, either wear some leggings, some bike shorts or use some chafing cream like 3B throughout the day. Chub-rub is the balls.<br>
- Wear some comfy flats, refer to reasons above about it being a long day and future you thanking you.<br>
<br>
Getting dressed up in a funky frock and cute accessories might even be just as much fun as the actual festival. Like most girls there, I use the event as an excuse to add a bohemian vibe into my normal style. This <a href="http://www.asos.com/au/ASOS-Curve/ASOS-CURVE-Smock-Dress-In-Check-Play-Print/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4310186&cid=9577&Rf900=1465&Rf-200=17&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Multi&totalstyles=167&gridsize=3">'PLAY' smock dress</a> is perfect, cute and comfy! Add some flats and a easy to carry side bag and I'm ready for the mosh pits!<br>

If you're anything like me, my work uniform consits of ugly and uglier. What I wouldn't give for a sexy secretary job where I can pack my wardrobe full of power suits and gorgeous sophisticated corporate wear! But no, I'm a peadatric nurse so on most shifts, I'm wearing a shapeless navy blue skirt and blouse combo and if I'm lucky, I don't have any baby vomit on me yet. Yes the girls and I get together quite a bit outside of work, but the Christmas party is always the time when everyone pulls out the big guns! So, here is my go to tips for making that hot doctor take notice:<br>
<br>
- Sparkle! If there is one time of year you can overdose on sparkle its Christmas! I love layering up necklaces or wearing a curve hugging dress with serious sparkle sexiness!<br>
- A statement clutch is awesome, but make sure its got an over the shoulder strap that you can tuck away inside it for later. When your stumbling between clubs at 2am you can hang it on your shoulders and still hold a kebab, genius!<br>
- Wear wedges or a platform heel. You want to make sure you are the hottest babe there and a little extra height always helps (and makes your pins look bangin!). A comfy flat heel gives you the sexiness without the party pooping arch pain, trust me, all your stiletto'd girlfriends will be cursing themselves later. <br>
- A bold lipstick makes a world of difference to the way you look. Sometimes all you need is a red lippy and a hot dress and you're the sexiest lady in the room. Before a big event have a play and a 'trial run' with the lipstick you've chosen, I always try and see how long a lipstick lasts and what it will rub off on so I know my pout-power before the big night.<br>
<br>

The cut looks awesome on all body shapes while the decorative beading is such a different look. Styled up with some bling and out the door we go! The doctors won't know what hit them! ;) </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">And of course the BBQ. Although that's what we have here in Australia around Christmas time, I'm not sure what you guys would have on the cold December side of the world. A round the fireplace party? Anyway, hot days, the pool (and 'OMG are we going to have a swim?! Thank goodness I happened to be wearing this super-cute and vintage cut swimsuit!'), beers, funky dresses and BBQs, Summer summed up right there. So I know you already know how to BBQ/round the fireplace party, so here are all of my tips summed up into one point:</span><br>
<br style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">Be happy, be comfy, have an awesome time! And having a rockin' dress always helps!</span><br>

Its heating up in Australia, which means more people are having parties and celebrating. Some of the most important parties of course, are weddings! I always agonize over what to wear and for my good friend Nicole's wedding, I was doing the awful 'last minute' dash to prepare an outfit. I knew every little detail of her big day was going to be perfect, and it really was. Not only did she look stunning, but the entire event was beautiful and miticaulous thought out, from the Mr Whippy van after the ceremony to the letter box on the gift table. Gorgeous. And so, obviously, looking like a rockstar was high on my important list. Once you know you look awesome, the rest of the party can't help but be awesome too!<br />

<br />
I found this dress at City Chic and new it would be perfect! I've had this fabulous Alannah Hill facinator tucked away in my wardrobe for then last year or so, it was its perfect opportunity to shine. Killer dress, funky clutch, (relatively) comfy wedges and eye-catching facinator! I was ready to rock!<br />
<br />
Sometimes its the details that make an outfit truly awesome. Emma and I actually had a conversation about the facinator before we left for the party, she was thinking maybe it was too much for the outfit. But my head wear ended up getting more action than the singles table, so I was glad I was wearing it!<br /></div>

Over on my Instagram page (@waituntilsunset) I've been participating in Frocktober, a month long event to help raise awareness of ovarian cancer. The <a href="http://ocrf.com.au/">Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation</a> has discovered that:<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23.7999992370605px; text-align: left;">- Every ten hours, one woman dies from ovarian cancer in Australia</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23.7999992370605px; text-align: left;">- Unlike other cancers, there is NO early detection test</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23.7999992370605px; text-align: left;">- Over 50% of the community incorrectly believe a pap smear diagnoses ovarian cancer</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 23.7999992370605px; text-align: left;">- Ovarian cancer has a lower survival rate than both breast and cervical cancer<br /><br />Pretty scary stuff hey? So </span></span>I've been participating by playing along with <a href="http://kimbalikes.com/">Kimba-Likes</a> by attempting to wear a different fabulous frock for each and everyday of October. If I missed a day, Neo very graciously dressed up for me instead. Check out our month of frocks (so far!) below!</div>

As soon as I saw the <a href="http://www.hopeandharvest.com/">Hope and Harvest</a> look book for their new <a href="http://hopeandharvest.bigcartel.com/">Nauticus collection</a>, my jaw dropped. I pretty much wanted everything. So chilled with a classical nautical vibe, it instantly put me in mind of a Summer holiday! The H&H team sent us up a few pieces to show off, so Suger, Em and I got together and had ourselves a little Friday afternoon mixer at my place. Em and Sug both dragged a bag or so of goodies over and we literally had a dress up party!</div>

So as you can see, there were more than a few laughing moments. We set up a tripod, pumped on some tunes and giggled our way through three sets of outfits. I was pretty impressed with our efforts, especially considering we changed clothes in the street with the open boot of the car covering us! Oh! And that time a delivery truck drove in front of the camera, but not before he kindly stopped so we could take a photo! </div>

I love how rad this anchor print H&H tee is. It's such versatile piece, it so easily dresses up an ordinary pair of jeans yet still looks really pulled together. Such a cool little instant-chic wardrobe necessity! </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">This more dressed-up look is my favourite set of the day. One of the things I love most about these photos, is that Emma, Sug and I are a similar sort of tag size, yet are such different body shapes. Each outfit is uniquely us and different from each other, yet still from the one collection. It just shows how each item can be so effortlessly included into anyone's wardrobe. Those are always the best designs! </span></div>

This denim jacket was my favourite piece that we tried out on the day. I love the lightweight feel of it, perfect for these warm Spring days and cool evenings. And the zip off style is a very cool way to pretty much score two jackets in one! In fact, I loved it so much that I wore it out again that night!<br />
