It is has been a while since I wrote anything about the fashion world, and being a Fatshonista, it is a subject close to my heart.
I recently spent some time twittering about my bible Shop Til You Drop, a magazine I turn to for a fashion fix when the funds have dried up more than the skin on my elbows. I would like to say Vogue was my bible, but I refused James Packer's proposal years ago (in between Kate and Jodhi) so STYD it is.
It is a great mag and I love it. But had a few issues with this month issue.
Jess Hart on the cover. Great. She is cool. What is not cool is that dress. WTF is that! I posted it out onto twitter for some consultation and comments that came back included.- She looks like a penis
- Is she wearing swimmers over a body stocking?
- Like a big purple condom.
- I wore that clubbing in the 80's
And this little gem. Where might one wear a glass mosaic balaclava? And how might you accessorise this? v good for bad hair days I suppose.
Kirrily Johnston, may I suggest less time on the crack pipe please? Grey Poop Catcher shorts with a zip. Me thinks perhaps not.......
Opps. Just fainted. Swoon.
But this pisses me off for so many reasons. Agree?
I can live without the balaclava, but I cannot live without my collection of shirts from
Now I first met Sam, founder of the label, while I was shopping at Paddington Markets with the Divine Ms M. I was insisting we go and find the Waffle Wagon when we stumbled upon this lovely collection of shirts and dresses. We were both hooked. The Divine Ms M is roughly half the size of me, but Ollie and Max suits everyone. I MEAN EVERYONE.
Please note this is not me in the photos.
She just looks a bit like me.
I love them because they are tres-forgiving, especially if you are somewhat mummy-muffinesque. And you can wear them with anything. And they are cotton , comfy and come in sizes 8-24. Ollie & Max also stock cool dresses, leggings, scarves and hats.
Shoot over to www.ollieandmax.com.au and have a laptop shop.
Or pop over to their FaceBook page and tell them Mrs Woog sent you.
