Winter Colour

Apparently, in winter all the colour in my wardrobe disappears. I was looking at my instagram feed 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. But where's the fun in being basic right?!

Skirt and top: Society+

Jacket: BooHoo Plus

Shoes: Betts

Bag: New Look

Sunnies: Domino Dollhouse

Lipstick: Revlon HD Ultra Matte 'Flirtation'

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 BooHoo 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.

I loved these bright Jessica Kane collection, Society+ scuba pieces. 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?!

The caged tops 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! 

Do you wear lots of black in winter? 

How do you get more colour in your wardrobe? 

Fatshion Faceoff: Red Heels

I think any regular reader would know that I'm not a big heel wearer- but I do love wedges! I have a pretty awesome wedge collection, they are the perfect mix of heel height and comfort. So, when this weeks Fatshion Faceoff came about, I knew that I would be busting out these fabulous heels!

Dress: ASOS Curve

Wedges: Betts

Jacket: Domino Dollhouse

Hair Bow: Diva

I know I've posted about these beauties before, but they really are so amazing comfortable that I wear them all the time! The red is so bright and eye catching and the velvet feel adds an awesome texture element to an outfit.

I adore the shape of this dress. I love the way it flares out from the hips down. The jacket is one of my favourites from Domino Dollhouse. It's got a real rockabilly vibe to it and is light enough to wear all year round. And of course, like the shoes, the red is amazing!

Make sure you check out all the Fatshion Faceoff ladies in their red heels!

Lust List: Summer Time!

The Summer time sales are driving me crazy! My inbox is full of tempting emails, the shops have huge gorgeous % off signs and every brand seems to have something new and exciting! I'm trying my absolute bestest to behave and not spend- but I sure have been doing a whole lot of window shopping!

1. Cult of California Rebirth Dress in Fiery Red  2. Pinkalicious Jelly Bean Sandals 3. Mod Cloth World Class Cookie Cutter Set 4. Domino Dollhouse Babydoll Dress in Galaxy 5. Colette Natasha Cross Body Bag 6. Shop Emerald City Rainbow Dash Leggings 7. City Chic Strappy Colourwash Top 8. Virtu Harlequin Skirt

Every time Domino Dollhouse come out with a new collection, I get even more suprised! Part one of their new Astralnauts range has just been announced and I am totally in love with the babydoll dresses!! This galaxy print is amazing!

So how amazingly awesome are these Jelly Beans Sandals!! I had a pair when I was about 10- but now I can get adult sized ones!!! And in Pinkalicious?!??! YAYYYYY!!!

Virtu make the most perfect skirts. The shape, quality and style make these beauties a definite investment. I've been looking for a fitted, striped pencil skirt for ages. They are such an effortlessly chic wardrobe essential.

Soooo, haven't seem me online for a while? It's probably because I've gotten lost on Modcloth.  This totally rad country cookie cutter is half the price that I saw it in a local shop! There is something for everyone on that website, so if you're stuck for Chrissy presents- jump online now! But make sure you set an alarm because your window shopping time will fly by!

I audibly squealed when I saw that Cult of California had released a party-wear Holiday collection. With peplum, velvet, sheer panels and sequins I want two of everything! Even better, the intuitive designs have funky added details like inbuilt chafe shorts- GENIUS!!

What are you lusting after at the moment??? 

Aussie Curves: Skirts

As you've probably noticed, I'm a skirt and dress girl. Always have been. I love the way I feel while wearing a skirt or dress. No matter how blah a day I'm having, a pretty skirt always makes me smile!

Skirt: Domino Dollhouse

Top: City Chic

Stockings: We Love Colors

 When I saw this Domino Dollhouse skirt I knew had to have it! It has a fabulous flare out cut that is ultra feminine and flattering. And the print is little pale hearts and dots- LOVE!

And of course- pockets! I can never resist a skirt with pockets!!

I also really like how easy skirts are to style. It doesn't take much at all to make a skirt up or down. A flowy tank on the top and you are ready for the beach! Some sparkles and some stocking and you're ready for the clubs! :) 

Do you wear skirts often?

Do you have a favourite type? 

Fatshion Faceoff: Printed Skirt

This weeks Fatshion Faceoff was a challenege. A patterned skirt, but not animal print or stripes?! All of a sudden my epic wardrobe seemed small! I hunted around and tried countless outfits on before remembering my awesome Domino Dollhouse Exclamation dress!! It was perfect!

Dress as a skirt: Domino Dollhouse

Cardi: City Chic

Belt: Carmakoma

Heels: Torrid

I feel pretty fabulous in this outfit. A little bit 50's and a little bit Mad Men! I couldn't help myself, I had to do some greyscale themed photos!

I tricked the dress up a little and wore it as a skirt with this fab little City Chic cardi over the top. It takes the chill off on these Winter nights and feels amazing. The skirt is the perfect length- not too short, not to long. And I had to pair this fab fifties inspired outfit with my killer Torrid stillettoes! swooooonn!!

And this Carmakoma belt?!?! How fab is it!! I've been wearing it like crazy lately, it really punches an outfit- the leather like look gives instant toughness!

I loved these last two piccys, one makes me look like a fierce tough woman and the other is a sneaky pic Ben took of some lippy re-application!

Can't wait to see how all the Fatshion Faceoff babes did with their patterned skirts!

FFFWeek: Indie Designs Showcase

The second last night of Full Figured Fashion Week was by far the most inspiring event of the week- the Indie Designs Showcase. There were some truly amazing pieces that I'm dying to get my hands on! Here are some of my favourite piccys of the night! (on a side note- really must buy a DSLR!!!)

My personal favourite designer was definitely 17 Sundays. It was fabulous seeing Australian plus-size fashion represented on the international catwalk! Their collection was fresh, funky and made me truly proud to be coming from a country showcasing such wicked original style.

Ashley Nell Tipton's collection also rocked the catwalk that night! Her designs are so free, playful and yet structured- I can imagine wearing them everywhere!!

Savannah Red presented a real quirky and original collection. The pieces were full of real Texas fun and spunky fabulousness! And the designer Anslee is a total babe too!! (Following pictures by Danimezza)

These are just a few of my favourite highlights- there were some awesome collections displayed! It's really inspiring to see where the plus-size Fashion world is heading, we are getting there slowly but surely!

After the main event, Nicole, Bec, Karen, Jen, Jess and I headed out for some dinner and drinks- and I think by the time these photos were taken I was several wines in! ;)

What a fabulous bunch of babes!!

One of the greatest things about Full Figured Fashion Week was the chance to mingle and meet some of my blogging heroes! I was honored to finally meet Chastity of Garner Style and Kiah of From The Rez to The City. They are both such amazing and fashionable women!

Top: ASOS Curve

Skirt: Domino Dollhouse

Shoes: Rubi Shoes

I wore my favourite Domino Dollhouse Bow Out Skirt and ASOS Curve cage top-love!!! I had also picked up quite a few funky bracelets while shopping in NYC which I thought went great with this outfit! I caved and wore flats though- it had been a big week of heels and I couldn't face them!!

Another huge thanks to Nicole and her fab DSLR skills for these piccys!

Phew! Well I'm finally getting to the end of my FFFWeek posts! Thankyou for all following along- only two more posts to go! :)
