MBFF | Myer | Big is Beautiful | The show!
Today I was lucky enough to attend Myers Big is Beautiful show at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival! The show featured designs from 15 brands. My Thoughts In one word. Safe. While, I do understand most brands try and cater for ‘everyone’, it would be nice to see a little bit more boundary pushing. More form fitting, less billow. The theme was very nautical, and I did love the use of stripes. White was heavily featured, as was neutral tones. I would love to have seen more colour. Overall I would personally pick up a few of the pieces & only really disliked one dress. My Favourites Over all, my…

Of life, death & blogging. (May be triggering)
I often struggle with how much to share on my blog. Everyone has their own idea on what should & shouldn’t be shared. It’s a fine line that I worry about crossing. But why? Isn’t this MY blog? I started this blog for me & it’s grown into what it is today, and I love it. I know I have a mind that over analises things. But I’m an honest person, so why can’t I be honest on my blog when I want to? I guess the main reason is, that I’m scared. The blogging world, while lovely, can be harsh. Owls of Happiness, my friend Lou gave me. They…

You don’t need to be thin to be…
There is a whole lot of negative assumptions when it comes to being fat, and quite honestly, i’m sick of it. Sure, a few things may be true, but every single person in the world is different, just because 2 people may be the same weight does not make them automatically have the same problems. It’s not just with fat people either, I have friends that are thin, who don’t gain wait & have some horrid accusations thrown at them. I sometimes wish that people would wise up & realise that no 2 people are a like & at the end of the day, we all have feelings! You don’t need to be…

Was high school really hell?
I often dream of my high school, I find myself often in the surroundings of the school, with friends I once had. It seems people I knew then are growing older too, getting married, having kids. I look back now with older eyes and reminisce. High School was some of the darkest days I can remember. Sometimes i’m surprised I made it out alive. But now I think to myself, was high school really hell? How has it changed me? Has it made me a better stronger person? Memory lane seems to be where I am at the moment. Bullying. It’s funning thinking back now, that the one person I hated…

An Idol – Amanda Palmer
I don’t remember now when I became a fan of The Dresden Dolls. Years ago, a friend made me a mix CD that had Coin Operated Boy on it, then a few months later whilst waiting for a train with Kylie (We were heading into the city to either see David Bowie or The Horrorpops, I can’t remember now), I heard her singing it. I didn’t own any Dresden Dolls CD’s until I met Adam, who when I mentioned I liked them, went & bought me ‘A is for Accident’ & ‘The Dresden Dolls’. This pretty much started my one sided love affair with Amanda Palmer. I’ve often been told…
