Social media and your blog in 2012

By on 28 January 12    Comments: (2)

I would not have a blog without social media. Well, that’s not quite true. I would HAVE a blog but I doubt whether I’d have that many readers. I learned early on in this blogging game that we have numerous social media networks at our disposal to help us market our blogs and let others [...]

5 for Friday: Swimwear for those NOT seeking skimpy

By on 27 January 12    Comments: (31)

Let’s talk girl to girl here … there’s not a lot of fabric standing between your body and the change room mirror when you’re shopping for swimsuit. It’s a fitting room situation designed to bring all our body issues together for one giant pity party for one. I’m not much for pity parties so before [...]

Keeping it real: back to school outfit

By on 25 January 12    Comments: (37)

Wow. I was completely blown away to the response to last week’s inaugural Keeping It Real outfit post. Blown away. I mean it’s a bit daunting putting up a photo of yourself in your normal gear – the stuff I get around in on a day-to-day basis. I’m not so daunted at the special occasion [...]

ManLand: the one about Aussie men’s fashion crimes

By on 23 January 12    Comments: (25)

I am, you are, we are … Australiannnnn! With January 26 on my mind I’ve decided to have a bit of fun and create a hit list of crimes in Australian men’s fashion. You may not agree, and that’s fine but I’d love to know what you think. The flanno A nice chequered shirt should [...]

Online shopping find: Ambrosia Luxury Scented Candles

By on 22 January 12    Comments: (4)

I love having gorgeous scents wafting through my home – from gorgeous candles to some of my favourite essential oil blends in a vapouriser. This week’s online shopping find profile features a store that you just wish the internet could offer smell as well as sight. Ambrosia Luxury Scented Candles is home to many of [...]

Why blog conferences are good for your blogging soul

By on 21 January 12    Comments: (24)

This time last year I had never attended a blogging conference. I’d been to a blogging event where I met some bloggers IRL but never to a programmed day where other bloggers gathered to hear other bloggers talk about blogging. Before attending Aussie Bloggers Conference in March 2011 (this has now morphed into the Digital [...]

5 for Friday: Autumn 2012 fashion lustings

By on 20 January 12    Comments: (41)

It’s that crazy time of year when the fashion seasons are a changing but we’re still in our swimsuits. And because I’m one for getting way too excited by the tag “new”, I’ve come over all giddy in the past week as emails have landed in my inbox offering me some “sneak” peeks into the [...]

It’s official: I am a rat. A spa rat.

Dear Doctor, I’m a little concerned and I’m hoping you can help me. See, it’s like this. I have a thing for fluffy towels. Can’t get enough of them. Oh, and also a quality white robe. One that fits me and doesn’t make me look like a towelling Michelin man. I kind of need to [...]

Keeping it real: the wet, cold summer day outfit

By on 18 January 12    Comments: (109)

Thanks for all your lovely comments on my Saturday’s post about this blog and where it’s going (and why you stick around … really THANK-YOU). I’ve been thinking about doing a semi-regular post about my “real” outfits for some time now and your comments have confirmed that I probably won’t be laughed down. Yes, in [...]

Sh*t Oz Bloggers Say

By on 17 January 12    Comments: (45)

Bloggers are strange beasts. In the wild, we’re often spotted surgically attached to our iPhones and we have the ability to Tweet AND carry on a conversation with multiple other Tweeting bloggers. And most probably drink a glass of wine at the same time. We tumble, stumble and pin … and most of us don’t [...]

Which celebs owned their style at the 2012 Golden Globes

By on 16 January 12    Comments: (32)

I’m always as excited as I am wary of Hollywood award ceremonies and red carpets. A bit like a wedding where normally fashion-forward and stylish women decide it’s “their” day and perfectly acceptable to lose themselves in a puff of meringue, award ceremonies tend to bring out the inner-toilet-roll-doll-holder in many. Or, *yawn*, they dress just [...]

Yes, you CAN wear high heels. You can.

Editor’s note: I’m getting ready for the Golden Globes’ red carpet so thought I’d hand the blog over this morning to Rachel from Redcliffe Style. Rachel’s been blogging three months and I’d love you to all show her some support. If you’re a new blogger and would like to guest post here on Styling You, [...]
