BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER
How many times have you been searching for that one perfect item of clothing you need... Only to find several that are "almost" what you want. If you are anything like me, you've probably got way too many "almost perfect" pieces in your wardrobe.
Style Platette is a recently launched online design application where you can be your own designer! Don't like sleeveless tops? Would rather a v neckline? Well with Style Platette, you mix and match the design elements to create YOUR perfect garment.
Style Palette founder, Debra Nott sums it up perfectly "I have always been confident in knowing my style and my statement for each occasion. I know what suits me. Speaking with other women, I understand that most of us know what we like. We know what makes us feel confident and look gorgeous. Stylepalette.com.au is designed for woman who know their own style"
At the moment, you can create you own tops and dresses (which will eventually extend to a full wardrobe). The garments are manufactured in Australia and take around 4 weeks to be made and delivered - which is a similar amount of time I spend searching high and low for the perfect dress.
Do yourself a favour and check out www.stylepalette.com.au

STATEMENT JEANS FOR CURVY GIRLS
Sitting at home with a newborn baby and unfortunately carrying a bit of extra weight has given me plenty of time to shop online.
In preparation for winter, I have been updating my denim wardrobe. This is a big issue for me - since my short, chunky legs struggle to fit into jeans and when they do, they usually don't look any good.
I have a few staple pairs of skinnies that I hope last me until the day I die - but I have been having a few hit & misses when it comes to buying more fashion forward pairs of skinny jeans.
I've since learnt that unless you are blessed with being curvy AND great legs (bitch!), you should stick to dark denim (or colour) which will elongate your legs... Even in flats. Unfortunately that means no pastel jeans for me.
My choice for denim is ASOS, because they usually go up to at least size 18 (and then have a plus size range) and legit have the biggest range.
I've got my eye on these 3 pair - I'm not 100% sure on the ombré ones... But I will definitely order them and try.
1. ASOS Supersoft Skinny Jeans in Dark Acid Wash
2. ASOS Matelot Denim Jeggins in Oxblood
3. Oasis Skinny Jean in Ombré
I have the Matelot Jeggings in khaki and a light denim (which was a HUGE mistake - pardon the pun) and they are super comfy.
I'd love to hear your tips & tricks when it comes to buying jeans

LUCKY MECKLEBURGH STYLE
It's no secret that Lucy Meck' works a stylish dress & heels almost as good as Victoria Beckham
But what I love even more, is the girls take on 'casual'. Seriously, don't you just wish you could look like this when you pop out for coffee with friends?
Here is how you can get Lucy's look (somehow I dont think a peplum top and skinny jeans will be in my maternity wardrobe, but hopefully by next winter, my pre-baby body will be able to rock this look)
Which celebrity would you like to see featured as a style-spiration???

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR JEANS ARE TOO BIG
Discovering your fav pair jeans are too big is a bitter sweet feeling. On one hand - it's great because it usually means you are losing weight! Yay! On the other hand it means you probably have to buy new jeans (or you could just eat more McDonalds to gain weight - but I wouldn't recommend that)
If I am going to be adding yet another pair of jeans to my collection - they are going to have to be cheap. An upcoming wedding puts to sleep any designer denim dreams I have. Along with my hopefullness that I will continue to lose weight - I don't
My two picks for cheap jeggings (yes, I wear jeggings... what of it?!! As long as they are actually denim and you don't intend to wear a shirt tucked in - they are comfy as f*&k)
ASOS $40.55
EziBuy $49.99
Until I decide on my new pair (and wait for them to arrive) I will have to resort to putting my current jeans in the dryer to shrink them before each wear!
xoxo
