OOTD: Springtime

I love the layer shedding that happens in Spring. There is something about this wonderful transition season where you can still wear jackets but not have to cover your legs up. Fashion wise, I wish it was spring all year long! 

Dress: c/o Scarlett & Jo available via Evans

Necklace and handbag: Colette

Heels: Target

Earrings and sunnies: eQuip

This gorgeous dress is part of the Scarlett & Jo Prom dress collection and it's not hard to see why it's become a wardrobe favourite. With it's bright colours and mesh décolletage, I literally feel like I could wear it anywhere and be the best dressed babe in the room. 

My favourite thing about this dress (apart from the fact its available in sizes 14 to 32) is the cut. I have unbelievably short legs. I'm 165cm tall and about 120cm of that is torso. Okay, a little over exaggeration yes, but the point is that the cinch of this dress hits right at my natural waist, a modern wonder in fashion today. Never once did I feel like I was pulling or rearranging the lines of my outfit, it sat perfectly over my curves and draped in a way that I felt confident in all day- sitting or standing. Sizing wise, I'm wearing the UK24 here and it's a little big around the bust and shoulders, I think the 22 would have been a spot on fit for me. 

I styled the outfit up with some basic platform heels and monochrome stripes, I'm a huge fan of floral and stripe mixing. Plus how rocking is this zebra necklace with its fluffy eyelashes, it gives me lash envy every time I look at it! Lastly, big hair, a dress this chic and classic deserves big hair! 

How would you wear this dress? 

What's your favourite fashion season? 

OOTD: Almost Chanel

Hope you all had a totally spoiled and indulgent long Easter weekend! I love that with holidays comes family meetups, parties, shenanigans and of course- plenty of excuses to get dressed up! On Friday afternoon Ben and I met up with some of his mates in town and it was just that little bit cool out, perfect for my new vintage-Chanel look jacket!

Jacket: c/o BooHoo plus size 

Top: City Chic

Skirt: Cut for Evans

Shoes: Target

Mini Bag: Furla

Sunnies: Thrifted 1970's awesomeness

I've come to the conclusion that I don't wear enough weight. I'm not going to lie, I can still hear some of that 'fat-girls-don't-look-good-in-white' stigma in my head. Stupid but true. But this BooHoo jacket has changed me! I felt classic, feminine and sexy wearing this beauty. I adore the contrast trim and structured styling, it really is so very retro Chanel!

I can't resist a shoe sale and sad but true, these shoes are too big. I picked them up for some ridiculous bargain price at Target, telling myself I'll just tighten them up and it will all be fine. But no, after an hour in them my feet were flopping around stupidly and I was kicking myself for giving into their gorgeousness. They have such a cute little heel that is (normally, you know, when you buy the right size) easy to wear. But alas, they did end up in my hand rather than on my feet pretty quickly. But damn they look pretty!

Cut for Evans

When I saw the promo photos for the new Cut for Evans collection, I couldn't wait to get my hands on some!! Suger, Mel and I were chatting about it, planning out a group order- and we pretty much ended up getting the whole collection between us! We had been waiting for the perfect chance to get together and take photos of all of us wearing our awesome new threads- and this weekend was it! Ben and I had a little party to help choose the flavour of our wedding cake and it was the perfect chance for us to snap our piccys and Emma even got in on the action wearing my Scuba Dress!

How smokin' hot does it all look together!! I love the bold prints and wicked colours- every item is such a standout, statement piece. The material of my midi skirt is absolutely divine- its silky, soft and a perfect summer weight. I couldn't resist adding this pink blouse, I loved the way the whole look is so punchy and bright!

And just because I want to show off how good my outfit looks- here are a few more of me! ;)

What do you think of the Cut for Evans collection??

Brand Spotlight: Scarlett & Jo Powerfit Dress

When I heard that Scarlett & Jo were making a dress with a built in mesh shape-wear lining, I was more than a little excited. A body con dress without the need to wear added suck-me-in underwear?! I was sold! The S&J team very kindly sent me over this dress to show you and from the minute I put it on, I felt like a movie star!

Belt: ASOS Curve

Clutch: BooHoo

Facinator: eQuip

Heels: Target

Spring is races and wine festival season in Australia (and no doubt the rest of the world!), so I knew exactly how I was going to style this Purple Spot Powerfit Dress up. Add some gold accessories, a flash of pink and a gorgeous headdress- a day on the green here I come!

The cut of the dress holds comfortably over my curves and the mesh lining really does support my thighs and belly area. I felt pleasantly contained without being restricted- there is still lots of movement and ease of wear in this dress. There is nothing worse than looking fabulous in a dress, yet feeling horrible in the hidden layers of shape-wear underneath!

Now I'm sure you have seen the photos already, but some of my favourite bloggers have been featured wearing these dresses- and no matter how different their body shapes or sizes, they ALL look fabulous!!!

I stole this picture from Georgina because I couldn't resists showing you how fabulous her, Bethany and Callie looked rocking their Powerfit Dresses! Seriously. That shape, that cut, that material. I'm in love!

The colour is a very diffrent look for me, but I'm really enjoying the overall sophisticated and curvaceous look to the dress. I'm also loving the cute mesh detailing above the sweetheart neckline- it gives a cheeky flash of flesh without being over the top. 

Talking about colours, the Scarlett & Jo Powerfit Dresses is currently in stock in TWENTY-SIX different styles and patterns on the Evans website! All with the gorgeous necklines, flattering cuts and that amazing suck-in-yet-not-squeezed-in mesh lining! If you love the cute of the dress but aren't interested in the lining, they also do a non-mesh version for five pounds less! 

And my most favourite thing about this dress?? It's available in sizes 14 to 28. Thank you Evans for making fabulous dresses available to all of us!

These are a few of the others that I have my eye on currently!

Cream contrast dress, Black Jacquard, Blue round neck.

OOTD Bestie love and Housewarming

My two best girlfiends have just moved in together and I'm insanely jealous of their house of fun! Here are a few piccys from their house-warming last weekend:


 I wore this too cute dress from Evans' Beth Ditto collection. I actually bought this on Ebay from Naomi at Diamonds and Pearls and am so in love with it. It has rad pockets in both sides and a sweetheart bustline- a rocking party dress!

Dress: Evans, Jacket: Lily and Lou, Stockings: We Love Colors

We have been so lucky to have such amazing mates these last few months. We have crashed on many a spare couch and spare room while nomading prior to Trip of a Lifetime. Emma and Anna have been so amazing; I've literally jumped into their beds when they have gotten up so I can snooze after night shift. I just wanted to show a little bit of blog love to these two amazing chiccies; I don't know where I would be without my besties!
