Evergreen Clothing

It's time to get casual and chic!

While I may wear corsets and dresses constantly I'm also a huge fan of perfect fitting skinnies and more comfy tops to wear on a day to day basis. 

I stumbled across Evergreen clothing a Victorian based label and instantly feel in love with the look and comfort of their styles. Creating pieces that really work with a plus size curvy shape without making us look boxy. 


I can't believe it, but I'm wearing joggers!! I've never worn this style before let alone a cargo pant but these are the absolute BEST skinnies ever! Super comfortable, stretchy yet firm on the legs and calves where you need it the most and a draw string waist paired with elastic. Styling possibilities are absolutely endless as well as they rock with any tee, jumper, shirt or blouse.





I'm wearing these in a size 20 (I never trust my waist to hip ratio) and they fit perfectly! I'm that in love with these perfectly fitting joggers that I will be in need of 2 more pairs! Dark blue and maybe the Khaki.


Sorrento Tee White - $59.95

I've pair these joggers with the Sorrento tee shirt and it's one of the most comfortable outfits I've ever worn.

What I love most about the Sorrento tee's are the lower back. Skimming over the booty and elongating your shape.  While a pair of pants and a plain white tee don't really scream Teer I added my most loved moto jacket and a pair of heels to make this a really 'me' look and I love it! 



The perfect casual outfit! I've also got my mitts on the pink and black (sleeveless) version of this tee and these will be in high rotation with both these pants and all of my high waisted skirts over the summer - perfect for work or play. I now need this in black and white stripes asap as I'm so smitten with the fit and comfort!



After a day of wear these pants do ease up so if you want a super tight skinny fit you can easily size down. I'd be interested to try an 18 in another shade!

Picnic Pretty With Irregular Choice

If you've not noticed yet I'm absolutely obsessed with Irregular Choice and creating amazing flat lays with their stunningly creative footwear and all of my favourite spring picnic pieces. Inspired by the shoes themselves my husband/photographer and I create a little picnic around each style and this week we got to feature some extra yummy treats.


Little Misty Unicorn Heels

Are you looking for a little heel with a lotta magic? Then the Misty Heels are the perfect mini heels with all the necessary sparkles. Featuring a glittery upper with pearl embellishments, castle and unicorn applique and the adorable embroidered king of the castle heel statement.


These super comfy sparkling heels  have so many details you'll be mesmerized and constantly showing people your amazing footwear. The sweet combination of pastel blue, pink and purple make these a great summer/spring style shoe and they look amazing when paired with floral dresses or solid swing skirts. I've styled these with a few magical pieces that I had a home - a few fairy sized mushrooms, hats, floral crowns and moss covered rocks and bunnies.


Size wise I've gone with the size 42 and the fit is perfect. Great for all day wear without and fuss!


Little Kisses Macaron Heels
This dreamy patisserie inspired heel is covered in cakes, cream, sugar and spice and everything nice! Featuring a 4 inch pump siting on a stack of sweets, glitter bow and trim plus (It looks like icing!) and scalloped trim piping. Fresh patisserie chic in shoe form and that perfect you may think these are sweet enough to eat.


The upper is a super soft pale green/blue base covered in macaroons - so adorable! The soft shade is perfect for pretty much every pinup print in my wardrobe and I'll be wearing these all summer long. Again I'm wearing these in a 42, and I've found that depending on the style itself I go between a 41-42 in all Irregular Choice shoes.


With such a sweet design, my styling options were so easy! Using bold coloured macaroons from home, some other sweet treats both props and edible we created an adorable set up.


For this set I wanted to focus on the my latest addiction Bone Dry Rose and Sofi Spritz! Rose is my ultimate summer beverage and I'm always on the look out for new drops.

Bone Dry Rose popped up in my inbox a few months ago and I was instantly drawn to the label. When I'm shopping for a new Rose' to try I've learnt to trust colour, and avoid anything ruby or pink.

Bone Dry Rose' as aptly named is crisp, super refreshing and dry as a bone! Only recently have I discovered just how much a love, a dry wine and even a dry cider so this is by far my ultimate Rose for this coming Aussie heat. Dry with a subtle hint of lemon to create a super refreshing summer friendly wine that pairs perfectly with a picnic.



I'm that smitten with this Rose that I'll be ordering a box to keep me going over the summer and I've already introduced it to my mother who originally introduced me to the blush side of wine.

What I love most about the Bone Dry is the option to have either the large 750ml bottles to share or the adorable 250ml solo size bottles. They suit so many occasions, and I can't wait to pack all of these goodies and into a full-size picnic basket and hit the outdoor cinema's this summer.


I've also fallen hard for the Sofi Spritz Italian flavours range which are made by the same company. I  tried the French Flavours in the past and even used them in a shoot this year, but I'd not had the love for them as much as these absolutely divine Italian summer flavours.

Featuring Lemon and Elderflower, Blood Orange and Bitters and White Peach and Ginger. Each 250ml can is 8.00% and these tasty little treats can be snapped up at your local bottle shop. I found all of the flavours in both bottles and cans at my local Dan Murphy's. You can also check out their website for all stockist details. 

Each unique and utterly delicious can is perfect when served icy cold or even over ice. This is the most refreshing and tasty spritz on the market and I'll be keeping these in the fridge all summer long.

Daphne, Deanna, Elsa and Estelle

It's HOH review time!! Recently I got my paws on some amazing new pieces from my one of my all time favourite brands from California - Heart of Haute.

I'm a huge fan of their button up blouses and have one of each stored away in my wardrobe but for this haul I tried the Daphne and Deanna tops. Stunning separates in lush fabrics and colour options to pair with your casual or corporate wardrobe.

 
 
Daphne is a super light sweater that's soft, stretchy and amazingly comfortable. Featuring 3/4 length sleeve, cowl neck and the enough length to wear tucked or untucked.  The squares print is almost like a giant tartan of teal and white.
 
I've not worn a cowl neck for many years as I thought they did not suit me but this style has put me back on the cowl neckline train. 
 

This neckline is perfect for the office as it shoes off your curves without going full cleavage and the curve hugging fabric really does make your shape POP!


I'm wearing this piece in a 1XL and the fit is spot on. The teal shade brilliant when paired with red hair but you can also pick up a Burgundy version which would be perfect for Christmas looks.

 
 
 It's official the cowl neck collection is growing! The Deanna top is the same stunning shape but with a short sleeve. The same amazing fit but this time in a super stretchy black velvet. I'm a sucker for all things velvet and this piece is such a dream to wear.


Soft and smooth, big bust accommodating and so very flattering. I find some velvet tops can add bulk but this piece really compliments my figure. Like the previous piece I'm wearing this is a size 1XL.

 
This piece is also available in burgundy and red. I'm so smitten with this velvet version and hope that they release a Daphne longer sleeved version in the future and more velvet shades.
 


 
From the moment this fox printed Estelle blouse was packed and shipped it sold out! An adorable fox print never lasts too long at Heart of Haute and this piece sold like hotcakes. But can you really blame the haute honey's? These little critters are adorable and obviously everyone needed to wear them asap.
 


The Estelle is by far my favourite button up blouse from Heart of Haute. I've owned this piece in solids and prints, bright colours and amazingly detailed prints. It's the perfect full button up blouse for busty girls and you don't have to worry about any buttons popping.
 

 
I'm wearing my standard 2XL in fabrics like this and I really love the as it rocks with my curves and gives a little extra room at the waist. The bright red buttons also really male this print pop. Each season I had 2 to 3 Estelle's to my collection and I love pairing them with simple skater skirts of pinafores. They also look amazing when layered with the HOH Sweet Sweaters.
 
We also snuck in two Christmas looks featuring my absolute favourite button up the Elsa Blouse in Mini Tartan Plaid.

The Perfect Dolores



I'm taking a break from Christmas posts today and sharing my new favourite frock from Collectif. This seasons has absolutely rocked my socks off with amazing fabrics, prints and body loving shapes. 


After the amazing success of the velvet Trixie Doll dress I snapped up the Dolores Dress with a longer sleeve. I've always owned this style with a peasant style sleeve but this elbow length design is so much more flattering for me!


Created from a bespoke cotton sateen print in green covered in mushrooms and multicoloured leaves. This Dolores dress features a full skirt sitting approximately just below the knee, a sweetheart neckline, gathered with two green domed buttons and a half sleeve - plus pockets!!!


I'm wearing a size 18 and the fit is phenomenal. The Dolores always seems to be a perfect fit or an hour glass body shape as it really makes your assets pop! After a day of wear it actually loosens up a bit so if you are a little over the waist measurements do not fret! 


The forest green base and bright pops of autumn colours pair perfectly with my hair and skin tone and I'll be wearing this throughout the year as it covers so many seasons.


Styling wise I've just paired this piece with a bold orange bow headband and a skinny black belt. Now that I own this piece, it's clear that I need to own each and every version of this half sleeve Dolores.

All Wrapped Up

Are you sorted or all of your silly season accessories and outfits? Not yet? Well don't you fret as all of my favourite companies are releasing their amazing Christmas ranges and you can get the cutest Xmas pieces online with absolute ease.



Erstwilder have just released their 2019 Christmas range, and I'm smitten! A mixture of traditional and iconic visuals plus some super cute little critters to add that little bit of adorable in season magic to your look.



Looking for the purrfect little kitten themed brooch? Well then Wrapped up in love kitten is the piece for you. This adorable little floof ball might just be the cutest cat EW have ever released complete with bold black lashes and a big red bow.


The purrfect present for any cat mum or dad this Christmas.


This year I'm clearly obsessed with Erswilder's statement necklaces, and the must have necklace for Christmas Day has to be the Holly Jolly necklace. Perfectly created resin holy and leaves this piece is both classic and beautifully bold.

 

I just adore how this piece pairs with all of my silly season themed looks and really pops with my skin tone. 

I can't wait to wear this over the Christmas holiday! 



More adorable critters for your Christmas looks!! Tshhdd Squirrel caught on the run with an acorn! How cute is this little fella! Perfectly crafted out of natural tones this piece is a great layering piece as it melds perfectly without Christmas colours and can be worn all year round.  

  


That cheeky little face is just too adorable and I can't get enough of this brooch. I'll be wearing both this little guy and the kitty all the way through to next winter!

As you might have noticed I've gone full theme for this shot and teamed up each Erstwilder accessory with the most amazing costume from Costumes.com.au



I hunted high and low for a plus size, curve friendly Santa inspired costume and Costumes.com.au came through with the goods. 

The Santa's Helper costume is a supercute body hugging little number that you'll want to wear to all your parties! The full costume consists of a Red Velvet dress with white plus faux fur on both the hem and bodice, matching hat, shrug and boot covers. A full look for a great price! 


Now given my ample rump and bust this mini dress becomes a micro mini and I've popped a plain black pair of leggings beneath so now one gets to see too much toosh!

I'm wearing the 16-20 plus size and it's roomy, super stretchy and can accommodate a variety of sizes. The shrug is by far my favouite piece and I'll be pairing this with more Christmas prints over the next few weeks!


For this shoot I ditched the hat and boot covers but these will be used for lots of other seasonal shoots up until Christmas! That's why I love about multi-piece costumes. You can mix and match, add more or less and make each costume more you.

This wall has inspired me to create my own indoor Poinsettia wall at home as it's so stunning and even more beautiful in person.




My combination of the stunning Collectif velvet trixie dress and this strawberry covered crown by Miz Smitten Kitten was obviously the perfect look to pair with pretty much every section of Christmasland!


Bet it Grinchy or........


Covered in glowing gold this deep dark maroon pairs perfectly with all Christmas backdrops.



But shooting in such a sweet location can't be wasted and I snuck another look in inspired purely by the pastel pink - candy cane visuals. This week my Sarsparilly Veronica Moto finally arrived from the Sugar Rush collection and it's an absolute dream. 

I'm wearing this piece in an 3XL to accommodate the boobies and with the right bra it zips up with ease. The waist is roomy and the arms have enough room to layer. I tend to size up in most motos so I can wear longer layers beneath.


The pastel pink Christmas Tree room is the perfect place for this pale blue moto. The colour are made for each other and I love how the soft shades meld together for a retro yet funky Christmas look.


I honestly get enough of this jacket and can't wait to style it in future shoots. With the classic silver hardware, red love heart elbow patches and the out of this world pastel shade this piece is a must have.


After you pass through this pink pine forest you'll find what might be my favourite of all of the locations in Christmasland - the human sized Jack in a box!!



You can create some amazing boomerangs, videos and super cute shots with this life size piece and why not hug the enormous teddy while you are there.


With lots of neon, streamers, treats and tricks you can create some amazing xmas content, cards and Christmas memories. Plus they also have a life size walk in snow globe so be sure to take full advantage of that amazing creation. I'll just be here stealing this huge Chrissy pudding!


I'll leave you with a little video of just how fun the Marshmallow pit can be.
