Fatshion Faceoff: Statement Ring

This week's Fatshion Faceoff was my choice. When I finish putting an outfit together, I always head for my accessory stacks and more often than not walk out the door with a funky ring on. I have an epic collection of sparkly, pointy, plain and weird rings- they are some of my favourite outfit rock-a-fiers!

Ring: Colette

Jeans: Torrid

Top and Jacket: Lily and Lou

It was my sisters housewarming last weekend and its still so cold here that I wanted to be dressed for warmth and comfort. I am totally in love with my new Torrid Stiletto Jeans that I was lucky enough to pick up from the Torrid team at FFFWeek (full review post to come next week!). They are so comfy and so smokin hot, I have literally been living in them!

This awesome Colette ring is so funky- I even have matching earrings for it! Its super sparkly and on a sweet stretchy band so it's easy to wear all day. 

Alrighty, time to check out all our Fatshion Faceoff babes!!

Do you wear statement rings??

Aussie Curves: Celebrity Copycat

Earlier this week I had a whole lot of trouble deciding what celebrity I would use for this Aussie Curves post- I honestly had no idea who my style was like. It was Jess that gave me the idea for Marilyn Monroe, she suggested I go with blonde and pink and try Barbie! And then playing around with ideas led me to the fabulous Miss Monroe!

And really, out of all the style icons in history, isn't she the most iconic and recognizable! And the first official curvy fashionista!

This year also marks 50 years since she passed away- it was meant to be, I had to bust some Marilyn out!! ;)

As you can no doubt see from these photos, the outfit was a whole lot of fun! The makeup was awesome and so different to what I normally do- I think I've picked up some snazzy little tips for the future! To me, the most important part of this style was getting the makeup right, I took an hour to paint that face on!!

I really love any excuse to get into a costume and dress up, Best bit of all though- this dress is just some material that I've pinned behind me- cheap costume win!!

Who would you celebrity copycat???? 

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!
