<span lang="EN-NZ">It was so easy just to do black on black with this gorgeous baroque print skirt by City Chic, but decided to throw another colour in there and I feel like I did it justice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-NZ">I have been wanting to do an OOTD post with this skirt for so long and I finally had a chance to do it yesterday.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-NZ">I went into work for one of our Matariki events yesterday at the library and this was the outfit I quickly put together. I had a whole other outfit prepared for my Aussie Curves Colour Clash post, but it didnt work out so its back to the drawing board with that one.</span></div>

I love bright colours and Pink is definitely a colour that features a lot in my wardrobe. I can't say it's one of my favourite colours, but I gravitate towards this colour always.</div>

Because I have so much PINK to pick from, it made it hard to pick what I wanted to wear, so I decided to go with the newest PINK items I have recently added to my wardrobe and today it's all about the accessories.</div>

So lets start off with the Pink stockings, I love these Stockings, so gorgeously bright and they are sure to get some attention wherever I go. I got these from the WE LOVE COLORS website, they are great quality and comfortable, they don't slip down at all and I have had these for at least two months. I love the fact that they are totally Opaque and I love that I get to wear some funky coloured stockings this winter. </div>

The gorgeous shop assistant was wonderful and friendly, I explained I had not yet experienced LUSH, she then sat me down and gave me <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>a couple of demonstrations, with a gorgeous facial scrub and cuticle butter, which were both out of this world amazing.</div>

The first was the facial scrub called Ocean Salt which smelled like a Margarita cocktail that exfoliates the face and body, however this was a little on the pricey side, no doubt because of the Vodka in the scrub, but I am in love with it for sure.</div>

The second was the cuticle butter called Lemony Flutter, so gloriously rich creamy and the most intense lemony citrus scent, I had to have this, i have very weak nails and this is suppose to strengthen my cuticles, but i am also able to rub it on my tamoko (Maori word for ink-stories on skin) which will over time will intensify the colour as well.</div>

There were many things I was wanting to buy and the haul I got today was nowhere near even half of want I want to try, I was thinking however in two weeks time I may do a review on some of these products and see if there has been any changes since I started using them. </div>

Only after my first visit to Lush I know for sure that when we move in the next two months or so, that my next dwelling will have a bath for sure. we don't have a bath and I so wanted to buy some Bubble bars and Bath Balistics balls. The shop assistant suggested that I could put them in my linen drawers, or with my clothes, so that my clothes can smell of the gorgeous Twilight fragrance. So I got one of those to give it a go. </div><div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;"><br></div><div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0976563); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(191, 107, 82, 0.496094); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-nqB_zJAS3-k/Uc5mT_tMIeI/AAAAAAAADDk/aynwog8YHTY/s640/blogger-image--956838966.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-nqB_zJAS3-k/Uc5mT_tMIeI/AAAAAAAADDk/aynwog8YHTY/s640/blogger-image--956838966.jpg"></a></div><br></div>

<br />
Ok, I am officially a Michael Kors addict, please someone sort things out, I don't know how I am going to handle this addiction, anything Michael Kors here in New Zealand is so expensive. The beautiful handbags, purses and my personal favourite at the moment Michael Kors watches. Thankfully the two Michael Kors pieces I do have I got for a very good price for New Zealand standards anyway. Less then half the NZ retail price, I know who's shocked, because I certainly was, I was jumping up and down literally at Smith and Caughey's when she told me the Sale Price. <br />

Everywhere I look online these same watches are around the NZ$500 - NZ$700 mark, way too expensive for me unfortunately so I can only wait until they are on Sale. I have been trying to look for places where I can order them online and I really want to try ordering them from Amazon, but everyone I know here in New Zealand who has ordered from Amazon in the past have only ever ordered Books or DVDs.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If any New Zealanders who have tried ordering anything other then books from Amazon please let me know how you got on, even if you have any general information about how I can get myself some Michael Kors wears for a better price. I will have to do a dummy run one day.<br />

Yes I am back, it has been way too long, but I am back up in the mix and hopefully I am here to stay for the rest of the challenges, I will be doing a lot of Catch up posts for everyone to check out too, so please do subscribe or take some time out and check me out.<br />
<br />
Of all weeks to return, I come back the METALLIC week, metallic items of clothing have not found there way into my wardrobe often in the past, until very recently, both times they came in the form of leggings and I have been dying to wear them somewhere but there hasn't been an occasion to wear them, so what did I do I wore them to work lol. That's the fun thing about working in a Library we have the freedom to dress the way we want too, of course we have to be tidy, but it doesn't stop us from having fun with fashion.<br />
<br />
After all of that it isn't the leggings on display today for Metallic week, I have a dress that I have worn a couple of times, I admit I love the fabric, but the fit isn't the best on me, but I couldn't bring myself to send it back. Those of you who shop at ASOS would have come across this dress and I admit that I didn't realise that there was metallic threads through the dress when I ordered it. (Yep, so you know how often I read the finer details). Anyway I love it, I would wear it more often if the fit was better, so today I decided to rock this dress again for the third time since I bought it.<br />
<br />

Because it's a little more short then I would prefer, I'm rocking it with some Opaque black stockings/tights and because of the extra nip in the air I have put some fishnet stockings of them as well.<br />

Yes you may have noticed I am taking the photos with my iPad and I they are selfies, so I did the best I could. It's getting dark quite early here in Auckland, so by the time I get home its too dark to take any photos and it's too cold as well.<br />

I thought this was so cool, so I thought I would post it on my blog. I never really win anything so it was a real shock and I was totally suprised, sorry to say I didn't even realise I had entered a competition. Those sneaky ladies at the City Chic store at St Lukes, Auckland. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks so much City Chic, for making fashionable clothes that fit my Curves perfectly all the time. </div>

<br />
Well yesterday was my birthday and after two weeks of full on horrible Winter weather,FREEZING COLD TEMPERATURES, RAIN, THUNDER STORMS and miserable GREY SKIES, we had a beautiful sunny day, there was still a pinch in the air, but it was fabulous to wake up to the warm delicious SUN shining through my bedroom windows, I knew it was going to be the beginning of a fabulous day. <br />
<br />
Apart from waking up to the delicious Sun, I had some presents waiting for me on my bedside table, now I should tell you that this isn't a usual occurance for me. My husband is wonderful, but to be honest he has never really done gifts that well, although he has bought me things in the past that I have loved, he hasn't ever really bought me a birthday present I didn't already know about it before, even though I spied out some pamphlets that weren't mine, I still really wasn't that sure and I wasn't going to get my hopes up. hehehe<br />
<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So of course I gave him some cuddles before having a look at them, he has only bought me jewellery one other time which was a necklace and I love it and still have it, I have worn it in another OOTD post. </div>

<br />
these new Pandora charms and clips for my bracelet, so originally I only had six charms, I have been quite slack with my Pandora bracelet, but my husband doubled the amount in one birthday, thanks my darling. I love them, I actually would love anything he bought me himself, because he bought it and that is a big ask hehehe. So my Pandora bracelet is filling up. <br />

So you probably may have realised that my husband stayed home with me for the day, lucky me, we went out to breakfast with an Uncle I share my birthday date with, I couldn't get any photos with him because my phone is out of action for now and my camera was at home. But I managed to get a couple of photos up on Instagram of my OOTD. Here they are!! I love this combination of colours and I have been wanting to wear this dress for a long time now but I hadn't got the opportunity to wear it until yesterday. </div>

I loved this outfit of the day, Casual but pretty. </div>
<br />
<br />
We pretty just mucked around for the day, went to go and see how much it will cost to be my phone fixed, then we both had a nap when we got home. My sister and husband bought Chinese for tea, which was nice we didn't have to cook anything and then, then we had a yummy birthday Cheescake, with was delicious the combination of Almonds and Passionfruit it undeniably one of my favourite Cheesecake combinations. It was yum then to top it of my Sister had a few pressies for me as well. I had a wonderful day it my pretty OOTD. <br />

Hey everyone,</div>
<div dir="ltr">
I know it has been forever since my last post so many fabulous OOTDs and so many Shopping Hauls I have missed out on, most importantly so many weeks of Aussie Curves Challenges I have missed :( !!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Believe me when I say I have been so busy with nothing else other then LIFE. For the last 8 months I was lucky enough to be allowed to Co-Curate an exhibition called 'Manatunga' the closest english translation for this is 'Heirlooms', basically we are showcasing Historic Maori treasures we hold in our Heritage collection and it has definitely been a huge learning experience for me.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I am also in my last year of full-time study and I cant wait for that part of my life to be done and dusted. Seriously! the majority of the writing I have been doing is essays upon essays. I love the pressure though.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I have however had heaps of time to shop, I absolutely love online shopping, I especially love my ladies at the City Chic store at St Lukes. Shout out to all of you fantabulous ladies.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On another scale I have recently been watching a lot of Fatshion ladies on YouTube, which is a whole other ball game again, amazing and very inspirational. I have been recently posting OOTDs on my Instagraam, which is all I have for you at the moment, but now that I have time, Watch this space :). <br />

<div style="direction: ltr;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I can't believe I am finally going to do this. For the past 6 months, I can probably say I have been on a bit of a journey (rolling my eyes) hehe, but that is the best word for it. I have always been a lover of fashion, I wouldn't call myself Fashion forward more Fashion adjacent. I have always loved colours and I must admit I have been surrounded by Wahine Maori who love to look fabulous and I can honestly say that Fashion has been my friend at every size I have been. <span class="729500301-01032013">Too many who know me may think that I was very confident in who I was because I always looked like it and talked like I was, I think a lot of you will also know that I am not afraid to speak my mind when it comes to important issues, anyway (stop blabbering). </span></span><br />
<div style="color: black;">
<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="729500301-01032013">I am sure at any size, women and men love the feel of a new outfit and I think we can agree that a new outfit can make one feel absolutely fabulous and some days not so fabulous.</span> <span class="729500301-01032013">Last year in my search to find a niche in the blogging industry I came across some Fashion blogs by very inspirational ladies. Inspirational because they weren't your normal Supermodel SIZE 0, they were REAL WOMEN, they were ladies with curves, muffin tops, double chins, rolls (spare tyres), thunder thighs, yep they were ladies like me. I always thought I had good taste and I admit at times I was a little cocky about it, but the more I read these, what I have come to know as FATSHION blogs, the more I became inspired by these ladies to challenge the boundaries and break the rules.</span></span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">What boundaries and rules you may be thinking? FASHION RULES! Since I was a size 12 (at the tender age of 13 lol) I have always considered myself to be TOO FAT to wear a BIKINI and so does society because you can't buy a Size 26 bikini in any New Zealand store to date. </span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">But check Gabi out from GABIFRESH (</span><a href="https://mail.aklc.govt.nz/OWA/redir.aspx?C=alJl0kFz80KIIWHwK1EZUDh35YG-6c8I8eGKodCL_beiNp2liWiyUNGJ9GYcPLMfau5PUTUUFWE.&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.gabifresh.com%2f" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">http://www.gabifresh.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">), sporting her STRIPED BIKINI, at a NZ Size 20. Another rule for FAT LADIES is to never wear HORIZONTAL stripes because it makes you look wider, well she's broken TWO major "IF YOUR FAT, DON'T WEAR ....... " Rules and she looks HOT, Bikini by MonifC.</span></div>

I didn't that is for sure. I am yet to find a bikini I like and when I do I will rock that BIKINI like there is no tomorrow, my goodness to think what I have been restricting myself for all these years just really bums out, no more shorts and singlets for me. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span class="729500301-01032013"></span><span class="729500301-01032013">It has been FATSHION bloggers like Gabbi that have given me the courage and believe me it takes A LOT OF COURAGE at the time to try new styles and cuts, break rules and to challenge those boundaries. You may be wondering why the heck I am bothering to write this SHORT STORY hehe, These ladies have also given me the courage to start my own FATSHION Blog that I have been adding to and posting to for the past month, some of you will have noticed some of the photo's I have been taking for a while. I still feel like an amateur, I am still testing things, it is all trial and error, but I wanted to let you all in on a "NOT SO LITTLE SECRET" anymore, I really am the happiest I have been for a very long, long, long, long time. Putting this blog together I have already achieved what I set out to do, my wish now is that I hope to inspire other gorgeous and curvacious ladies to do the same.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><span class="729500301-01032013">YOU ALL KNOW that our own whanau, friends and community are your most harsh CRITICS right, a lot of the time it's not Constructive criticism, especially when you are attempting to do something as DIFFERENT and as UNHEARD of as this, well that is why it has taken me a whole month to finally work the courage up to put this link up. Right now I am taking part in an OUTFIT PHOTO CHALLENGE called AUSSIE CURVES, where ladies are given a theme a week and we are suppose to take photo's of our themed outfit and post them to our blogs. So here it is!!</span></span><br />

I really have been a bit slack this last month.<br />
<br />
My husband has been in Wellington for almost two months now and to be honest it is really quite depressing him being away for so long. Plus he is my main photographer anyway one more week and he shall be home.<br />
<br />
I have had heaps of amazing outfits this last month and I haven't even been able to snap any shots of them. I may have to have a fashion show when my husband gets home, just so that I can get these gorgeous outfits up on here.
I really do despise the 'SELFIE' shot, I don't like them one bit.<br />
<br />
I may have to look in it too buying my a proper camera with and stand and timer, so that I don't need anyone to take photos for me, so if anyone has some suggestions please share.<br />
<br />
Along with having the 'Winter Blues' before Winter, I am going to have a bit of a moan. We are a small country and our options are limited when it comes to Plus-size shopping!<br />
<br />
So <b>KMART</b>, what is happening will your Plus size collection, what happened to yous?? I have some amazing pieces from you's, but all I have to say at the moment is a huge BOOOOO!!!! Ugly, Ugly, Ugly!!!<br />
<br />
<b>FARMERS</b>, <i>WILD CHILD</i> , Oh my goodness, move with the times, I use to get some amazing pieces from you's too, what has happened?????? It is all UGLY, UGLY AND UGLY and has been for quite sometime now. Do you seriously think women in New Zealand are getting smaller!! Is it becoming too costly to produce Plus-sized clothing, answers please, give your faithful customers some answers. It is so annoying that I can't rely on either of these stores to find a nice outfit to step out it. If I was size 16 maybe!! but I am not and I am not the only one in New Zealand COME ON!!!<br />
<br />
<b>EZIBUY</b>, <i>SARA</i>, Come on, get some new stuff in already and give us another STORE, that is why you don't sell them, it's because you don't have enough stores, even though I love shopping online, I like a Mall fix or two every week as well.
These are three stores I use to shop at religiously, because the prices were good and they USE to have GOOD TASTE, NOT ANYMORE, I am absolutely horrfied at the state all of there Plus-size collections are in!!
Jingas first post back and all I am doing is moaning hehe. Sorry about it I just had to get it out there. Because I have been totally unispired by my usual haunts.<br />
<br />
On a more happy note, I am really loving <b><u><span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">City Chic </span></u></b>these past few months, Plus I wanted to give a big <span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><b>SHOUT OUT</b></span> to all the Staff members at <span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><b><u>City Chic St Lukes</u></b></span>, you all make shopping that extra bit fun, Thank you, thank you, thank you all soo much. :)<br />

In the end, I went for the polk-a-dots. I must admit that the RETRO LOOK got me thinking very hard about where I wanted to go with this look. Retro to me isn't necessarily what Retro is to others. Retro to me was the Paisley prints, PVC f@#k me boots and huge round glasses, which is definitely not my style at all.<br />
<br />
If you were to ask me what Retro Kitchens are all about, then I would be able to give you answers straight way. What I thought was really dumb was that I didn't put two and two together. LOOSER!!<br />
<br />
So as I said I changed my mind a few times about my outfit, I was going to go with a repeat offender, my Navy blue and white Sailor Dress, but realised it was Military week next week, so I will leave it for then. Today's chosen outfit is a recent addition to my closet. The style and cut of the dress is something I am very use too, but the polk-a-dots, not so much, but I thought this dress, the shoes and the glasses were very RETRO, once I figured out what Retro was of course hehe.<br />
<br />
My husband and I went out this afternoon for a drive and to get some photos, I decided not to go with the Tea Party as I just wasn't felling up to it, however the location got me in the mood to getting some photos taken. Thanks my love.<br />

Well what can I say we are so lucky that Animal skin prints are back in again, we are also very lucky to be able to pick up gorgeous Animalistic garments everywhere these days. Last year I had so much of it I got a little sick of it and got rid of quite a few pieces. What I have in my closet now is either very recent additions or pieces that I just couldn't part with.<br />
<br />
For this challenge I have gone with a Pencil Skirt that I purchased from City Chic about a month ago now, black tee is from Kmart, what I quite into is my cute accesories I have chosen for this out fit, my gorgeous little belt from Kmart as well and my necklace which was another from Diva. I also tried to go for a smoky, cat looking eye, I am no good at doing make-up and that was my first attempt at it, then I totally forgot to put some lip gloss on, anyway I managed to get some photos I like, so.....<br />
<br />
I hope you like.<br />

Obviously I have some shoes I want to show off. If I am going to be honest, I have never been one to wear heels and that includes wedges, although I have always loved the look of them, I was never comfortable in them. I think it was more of an excuse now, I was blaming my weight on not being able to even wear wedges. BUT hey, hey, hey it turns out I am an ultimate wedge wearer and now owner hehe.<br />
<br />
If you have been keeping tuned to my blog, you will have noticed that I have a little collection of wedges now and that is definitely a recent collection, pretty much in the last 6 months anyway.<br />
<br />
I bought this pair of shoes at the end of last year for my end of the year xmas party, but I didn't end up wearing them as we ended up going with a theme. I had put them away in a shoe bag and thought I had lost them and I couldn't remember where I put that shoe bag. I was totally devastated.<br />
<br />
Last week, I found them they had been sitting in the boot of my car and I was so relieved to see that bag and because they are so comfy I decided to wear them to work today.<br />

I am back this week and Black and White is this weeks theme for the Aussie Curves Photo Challenge. For a long time I have thought that this combination of Black and White for day wear was boring, risky, and that it was probably best left for elegant and classy Black and White cocktail parties.<br />
<br />

I have always been about the splash of colour everywhere, which is why I am really loving the "Colour Blocking" trend. However the recent "Black and White" trend I have to say has got me excited for the first time and I am loving all the Black and White pieces I have seen on the ASOS website and the City Chic website as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Obviously these photos are my Black and White look for the week. I think it's quite smart and something I am able to wear to work without looking like a waitress.</div>

Still suffering the after effects of a fantastic Conference last week, though it was inspirational and a whole lot of fun, I have some how ended up with the flu, in the middle of our Summer. All this lying around, has given me a chance to do a little reflecting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O01Nd-gCTVo/USLVqw66kyI/AAAAAAAAAyY/GSfRTqL5TNk/s1600/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-O01Nd-gCTVo/USLVqw66kyI/AAAAAAAAAyY/GSfRTqL5TNk/s320/PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" width="288" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Another OOTD from Conference Last week. This has to be my favourite dress, I especially love all the colours. </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Yes I am a size 24-26 and I love every bit of me and I think it shows. Last weeks Conference was the first I have intended since I since I decided that enough was enough and that it was about time for me to accept me and all my glorious flab as it is.<br />
<br />
Ever since then it has been the best thing I could ever do for me, it is like an invisible veil has been lifted. I say this because the response I was getting from both women and men was different to what it has been like for me at past Conference's I have attended, this time it all seemed so much easier,which was a huge surprise because I always thought that my confidence level was pretty high, but this time around that barrier has been busted down. It's a little hard to explain, but this is how I explained it to my workmate, "I must have had 'BITCH' written across my forehead all these years and since I have turned a page in my new book, I am now approachable".<br />
<br />
It's crazy to think it must have been me, for years I have always thought it was everyone else that had the problem. Don't get me wrong there are a few still out there, but I know for sure it won't be me any more. Because I am still loving every bit of me, flab and all.<br />
<br />
Has this happened to you?<br />

I am quickly learning how dedicated I need to be to get regular posts up on my blog. Although I had fun with my outfits last week, I had little time to get photos of my outfits and I didn't even get a chance to take part in last weeks, Aussie Curves challenge. : (<br />
<br />
Even though I had a busy week, the conference was absolutely amazing, inspiring even. It also provided me with great opportunities to pull out some of my dresses I have been wanting to wear and post on here, now I am definitely in two minds about whether I should post these pathetic photos, these dresses are so beautiful and it almost feels like I am not doing them any justice. Yes the photos are very poor quality, I ended up doing 'selfies' which I absolutely hate to do, but I had to snap myself in some of these amazing dresses and outfits because I felt absolutely gorgeous in these dresses.<br />
<br />
These dresses are very similar in style and the cut I love on me because I feel that it gives an illusion that my stomach is smaller then it actually is and as I am loving my legs these days, in this style dress they look fantastic.<br />
<br />
I tell you, when more fuller figured women realise that all they need is a great bra to give them a waste and most importantly some shape a lot more women would feel a lot happier with how they look when they go to things such as Cocktail events and formal dinners.<br />
<br />
I hope you all like the outfits, huge apologies about the photos, but as I said I felt great in the dresses and I am going to post them even if the photos are shitty.<br />
<br />
This first outfit I bought to wear at a Wedding I went to at the end of last year, I have been itching to wear it again, I love the colour and so do many others, I actually done a double banger of this outfit last week, I wore this to the Cocktail Part at Conference last Wednesday night and I also wore it on Sunday at another cousins wedding. I love, love, love this dress.<br />

So today's outfit is my Picnic outfit, when I first saw this on the list I thought that is totally crazy, why do people dress up for picnics, then soon after I thought to myself, yes I am definitely one of those people. I admit I never use to be as a Picnic is usually about the food and the scenery, but I do.<br />
<br />
Why? because I love picnics, it's a great opportunity to get outdoors and do something especially when the weather is fantastic, take a ball or some stale bread to feed the ducks, it's a chance for me to pull out my vintage picnic set that I absolutely neglected to take any photos of. Sadly I didn't take any photos when we went on our picnic, I only remembered to when I got home.<br />
<br />
Today's outfit was very simple, a maxi dress with horizontal stripes, totally against all the rules taught to me about choosing the right patterns for my body shape, but I love this dress and it loves me hehe. I love material because it'stretch and comfortable. The necklace I bought from a place called Origin, my pink zebra striped jandals and a teal cardi because it was a little nippy.<br />

The Lace peplum fits like a glove, it's perfect as for the leggings, I could probably go down one size, but are fine as they are. If you want to check out my first order here is the link (<a href="http://mynameismargaret-rose.blogspot.co.nz/2013/01/pop-goes-cherry-asos-curve.html" target="_blank">Pop goes the cherry - ASOS Curves</a> ). I will remember that for the next order, well the one after the order I put through last Thursday.<br />
<br />
Here's a sneak peek of what I will be expecting in my next shopping haul from ASOS Curve. Got to love Free Shipping, otherwise I wouldn't do it in such small doses.<br />

I must admit that I am quite nervous about the Pencil skirt, but after taking some advice and great review from Rebecca of <a href="http://theplussideofme.com/" target="_blank">The plus side of me</a> I had to give them a go and this could be the first of many. </div>

Whether it be going to Waitangi for the day and enjoying the many events that have been prepared or just plain going for a picnic somewhere.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today we decided to head to Army Bay for the day, SUN, BEACH, FOOD, SUN, FOOD, BEACH. It was a fantastic day, remembering that we have been so lucky to be blessed with a day off in the middle of the week, it was awesome down time for all of us. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I felt I needed to do a special post of the day, purely because I have noticed that for the past five years I have bought a new dress for every Waitangi Day, it's sort of a tradition I started for myself hehe. Just another reason to go shopping hehehe I suppose. I wish I had photos of every outfit I have had for the past five Waitangi Day Celebrations. Is this something you do maybe? Do you buy a new outfit for a annual celebration?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So this is my dress I bought especially for Waitangi, I hope you all like it!</div>

<span lang="EN-NZ">#summer fun #summer love</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-NZ">I have just returned to work this week after 6 weeks off and I must admit that the favourite part of my holiday was the week we spent camping at Waihopai. Beach, white sand, seafood, fishing and creeks there was no need to run away to and Island when paradise is right in my hometown’s backyard. There are many reasons why I loved camping, but one of the most interesting and exciting things for me this summer was that I was rocking swimwear everyday, I know it was only my family around, but that is big for me, I haven’t rocked togs without shorts for almost 20 years. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-NZ">Oh my goodness, I can’t begin tell to you how great it felt, it definitely explains the reason I am sporting a fabulous tan from head to toe and is also the reason I have been wearing dresses above my chunky knees that I use to hate. There was no point in trying to make a fashion statement with the togs I was wearing, as I opted for plain black togs and a vibrant blue pair as well. Point being, I have I rocked togs again, I loved it and I’m going to do again and again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-NZ">As I have said already, if it wasn’t for all the fatshion blogs out there, I probably would have suffered through camping sporting shorts and a singlet, maybe a Pareu (sarong), but it was these blog posts from Gabifresh that inspired me to go with it - <a href="http://www.gabifresh.com/2012/04/i-just-got-back-from-fantastic-trip-to.html" target="_blank">Fatkini 2012</a></span><span lang="EN-NZ"><o:p> and <a href="http://www.gabifresh.com/2011/04/every-body-is-bikini-body.html" target="_blank">Every body is a bikini body</a> Check them out. <strong>HOT! HOT! HOT! </strong></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-NZ">So back to this week’s Aussie Curves Photo Challenge, I have opted to go with a Tankini, that is not flattering at all really, it doesn't give me any shape, but I had a wonderful day today at the beach with my family, I enjoyed taking the photos, I really let it all hang out, I mustered up the courage to rock my Tankini as it was, no Sheer Coverall, no board shorts, just me and my Tankini. </span><br />

This has to be one of my favourite Wedding photos, we are doing a 'hongi' a traditional Maori custom. A lot of people tend to get his wrong in photos and at times looks too staged, however I think this is perfect, natural and the love is definitely overflowing in this shot.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two years is huge these days, I look forward to many more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Even thought yesterday was a special day for me the weather was horrible here in Auckland, grey skys and it was windy, so this called for a totally different look. I have been wearing a lot of dresses this Summer and to be honest I haven't had so many dresses I have loved to be able to choose and wear a different one everyday for two to three weeks, so I have been enjoying it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yesterday's look was far from a dress, but I did want to show off my $5 boots, I'm a boots girl for sure, I love them short boots, tall boots, medium boots lol, but I have never had YELLOW boots, or paid $5 for a pair either. I noticed boots was also on my Aussie Curves catch up list sooooo, VOILA!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Obviously I'm at work, I got my workmate to take some shots this time. So I felt like I was really rocking this look yesterday. I love this BLUE peplum jacket from City Chic I have the same jacket in four different colours, they are great for work. I decided to dark chiffon layers down the middle, but a bit of bling at the top with my necklace and I love the fact that the buttons break the darkness a bit and my gorgeous YELLOW boots. The are definitely not everyone's cuppa tea, but they do look gorgeous one and sometimes you just have to know how to wear them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The boots were cheap because they were on the faulty table, they had a few black scuff marks on the suede, but it didn't take much to brush the scuff marks out. Absolute bargain. </div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I should say now that Red isn't really one of my favourite colours to wear, I have only just gotten use to wearing Red lipstick. Today's weather here in Auckland is tragic, it's been raining all day, I planned to go to the pools today with my nephews, because the weather has been fantastic summer weather, so apart from going for a swim, I also wanted to get some shots for this weeks challenge by the pool, but it ain't happening today or tomorrow, so it will have to wait for Wednesday, which is a public holiday for us here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what did I do on my day off, I went shopping, to the mall and then this afternoon to do some grocery shopping and it just so happens I was able to use this outfit for an Aussie Curves catch-up post as well. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another one of City Chic's beautiful creations, it definitely has a Pin Up look to it. The bolero, was not my first choice to wear with this beautiful dress and my shoes I absolutely am in love with my shoes, I know you's would have seen these in a few posts already, but they are so comfortable.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here goes my RED DRESS SPECIAL,</div>

My understanding of what is considered to an LBD is all about simple elegance and can make a women feel sexy as soon as she has put on the dress.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The perfect occasion came on Saturday, my husband and I were invited to a 21st birthday that was held on a boat down the Viaduct, the setting was so pretty and so right for my chosen OOTN. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went with the Capture Woman dress that I only bought at the beginning of December 2012. I sexed it up a little with the tan belt from City Chic with a gold buckle, so cute it definitely helped me acquire that bit of extra shape I was after.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Lime green accents just gave me the extra va,va, voom for the night, it was a great night. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As for the photo's once again the quality of them is pretty tragic and it was a bit of a pitty then it was getting to dark to take my photos and then the battery went flat on me, I really need to invest in a good camera. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is my Little Black Dress outfit, </div>

I suppose the only thing I love is that I don't have to style it every morning. I am thinking of going short, but I'm not sure whether I would suit it, I am really loving the boy cuts for women too, so I have been surfing the net for cuts that may suit me and I think I may have found one. <br />
<br />
Beth Ditto rocks a cut that I am pretty keen on giving a go, my husband however is not keen on the fact that I may have a boy cut in the next couple of weeks, so I may have to give him time to warm up to the idea. My mind is not certain yet, but I am pretty keen to give it a go. <br />
<br />
Here is the cut I am thinking of sporting what do you's think??<br />

According to many fashion rule books hehe because of the shape of my face and double chin-a-lin, if I was to go short that there should be some height. A little like this Ms Halle Berry I suppose,</div>

I also really like how this woman has given to her cut, by leaving more layers. I really need to learn how to do the smokey eye look. </div>

I really like the height on this one as well. Maybe I should just cut away at it a bit at a time! I think I need to see more pixie cuts on bigger women, to really make my mind up, I know I am going to cut it, just what style??</div>
