Aussie Curves – Leather

May 13, 2013 by Natalie · 36 Comments

This weeks Aussie Curves theme is “LEATHER”. I don’t really own many things that are real leather, I much prefer faux leather. The only item that I could think of that I knew 100% was leather are my UNIF hellraisers. So I decided to just do my outfit with faux leather / pleather.

These stockings, along with another pair that i’ll show another time were sent to me from Donatellas. I love them, this is actually the 2nd time i’ve worn them. They are really comfortable. Take note of the sizing though, these are the XXXL and wouldn’t fit anyone with thighs much bigger then mine comfortably. I’m actually going to order THESE next pay.

I probably wear this Sportsgirl necklace WAY too much. It’s one of those necklaces that just seems to go with everything, I always seem to be throwing it in. I’m loving that it’s starting to get cooler so I can start wearing my boots again!

Outfit – Pow, Pop, Flash!

Just a quick little OOTD post from today. I had Mum take a couple of quick photos before we went out and while I shared them on instagram, I thought i’d share them here too.

Whilst out shopping the girl working in Sportsgirl stopped me to tell me how much she loooooved my shirt. I don’t know why, but I always feel kind of happy when a straight sized person compliments my outfit choices. Kind of want to be all “Booyah, yeah, even fatties can have style!”

It’s not a top though! It’s actually a dress and from what I can understand, it sold out within 24 hours! The dress is actually a bodycon (See Siân wear it HERE) but I decided to pair it with a skirt over the top to dress it down a bit, and also cause I was feeling a bit bloated and not wanting to rock a VBO.

Outfit – Something’s different.

March 5, 2013 by Natalie · 14 Comments

That something, in case you didn’t notice, is that i’m now a blonde. Yes, it’s a drastic change for me, I’ve never been blonde longer then 24 hours before. I’ve not had a ‘normal’ colour in, well, a very long time. Whilst I was away, the sea water stripped out my colour pretty fast and left my hair blonde with a green tinge, I had a lot of people telling me they liked it, so I actually booked myself into the hairdressers, and got a balayage blonde colour done. It will take me a while to get used to it, but I am loving it.

I didn’t wear this outfit out, I just wanted to play around with an outfit. With this hair colour opens up a whole new range of clothing colour options. You know how you figure out an outfit you think would be amazing in your head, but then try it on and feel a bit ‘eh’. This is one of them. I’m not sure what it is I’m not sure of, I think maybe the skirt looks a bit to plastic-y, or the fact i’m not wearing a bra. I’m usually always wear bras, but I got sunburnt on my chest and my bra had been rubbing, so crop top it is. I thought i’d show off the outfit anyway.

The socks are from sock dreams. I remember nearly buying them years ago, but not having the money. Thigh high socks that will fit my thighs, yes please! I ordered them before I went away and they had arrived by the time I got home. They fit wonderfully, and when you put them on the right way (not inside out) they seem to stay up great. I’ve yet to put them to a full day test.

Blonde! And yes, I do have a slight tan!

Sorry about the grass! The weather has been super rainy in Sydney and it seems the grass is growing at a super fast rate. While I LOVE these shoes so much, they are killers. I can walk in chunky heels, but these babies are steep.

So, whats your verdict on the blonde hair!?

Aussie Curves – Animal Instinct

February 25, 2013 by Natalie · 7 Comments

I actually had a lot of trouble for this weeks theme of ‘Animal Instinct’ . This is the 2nd outfit I took photos of, and to be honest, i’m not really sure I like this one much. I love that each week you can interpret the theme in so many different ways. So, while mine isn’t overly obvious, to me, it’s still inspired by ‘animal instinct’.

I figured since we just passed into the Chinese New Year, the year of the Snake, i’d take inspiration from that. Not to mention that pythons are actually my favourite animals! Yep. I’ve always had a love and fascination of snakes. I’d love to own one eventually.

Lastly, this is my face! No make up at all, and the only thing done to the picture is re-sized and sharpened once. I’ve been trying to take better care of my skin, as it’s started mucking up as i’ve ages. I never had much problems when I was a teen. Now I have a dry forehead and random pimples on my chin.

OH! Also, my lip piercings could tie into this weeks theme! Usually a piercing on each side of your lips is called ‘Snakebites’. I used to just say they were double snakebites, as when I got them done, hardly anyone had doubles. Though now apparently they are called ‘sharkbites’.

This post was schedueled in advance, and due to that, I was unable to add the linky code to this post. PLEASE take a moment to check out the facebook page, website & founder Danimezza’s Blog.

I’m currently on holidays with very limited internet access. Any emails or comments will have a delay in response. I’m sorry for this. Be sure to follow my instagram, twitter and facebook accounts for holiday updates. I’ll be trying to use the hashtag #XLinAitutaki
