First Time with Club L

If you were to bump into me in the street, this is probably what I'd be wearing. I'm practically living in this dress at the moment. I wear it to school, out on town, shopping - you name it. On a cooler day last month I wore it with leggings and a furry black cardigan and felt amazing. 

I love that it's got that comfortable, flowy, jersey dress front, but then the PU sleeves come in and give it an edgy look that's quite alternative.


The brand of the dress is Club L, but I purchased it on ASOS. It also comes in grey and leopard print. I was hesitant with the sizing, so I asked the Aussie Curves ladies if they'd had experience with the brand. Three people said to size up, so while I'd usually order a 22 in this kind of dress, I bought a size 24 in the red and a size 26 in the grey. The 24 is perfect, but the 26 is probably a tad too big, although I still wear it on occasion!


ASOS have had some great sales lately so I've been picking up a few extra things, including the perfect dress for Christmas day!

OOTD: City Chic Aztec Dress


For Halloween this year I dressed up as Cleopatra. I didn't get many photos of my costume but I'll do a Halloween post soon anyway! In this outfit I'm wearing the gold bracelet cuffs I bought specifically for the Cleopatra ensemble but totally fell in love with. They're just cheapies from Colette, but are just the right touch for this City Chic Aztec resort dress (sold out, but similar here). This dress was love at first sight. I love the colours, but my favourite thing is the adorable pick-up/bubble hem that gives the whole thing a fun, flirty feel, especially when the wind picked up a bit here, haha!



I bought the shoes from Joanne Mercer a few years ago, and the green is the perfect match. I absolutely love how this dress makes me feel. So comfortable and summery, and yet glamorous!

Aussie Curves: Skirt

I don't wear skirts as often as I used to, but when I saw this one on ASOS, I immediately saved it so I could think on it. A few weeks later I was still thinking about it, so I bought it. It's a neat trick my mum taught me. If you see something for sale that you like, walk away. If you're still thinking about it over the next few days - then go back and get it. Very sound advice.




This skirt is so soft to wear. Both the lining and the chill are a beautiful soft texture, feeling marvelous against the skin. I've paired it with my Dangerfield t-shirt, Lovisa necklace and vintage t-bar Doc Martens.
