Lazy Sundays

Lazy Sundays

I never know what to pair these creepers with so I’ve just started wearing them with whatever I’ve got on if it’s raining. They’re great for walking through puddles. I wore this outfit on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Tom and I were going to go record shopping and have a coffee but we ended up taking too long and by the time we got there, the record store was closed. So we just went back to school shopping and bought pens and books instead.

Silly Kitty Photo Of The Week

Silly Kitty Photo Of The Week

My friend Lauren moved in with me a couple of months ago and her cat, Copernicus, had been slowly starting to get along with my cats. This was the first time we caught Copernicus (left) and Maloney (right) snuggled up together! Little cuties.

Gisela Ramirez Giveaway!

Gisela Ramirez Giveaway!

This is the final giveaway to celebrate one year of FAT AUS! If you’re a fat girl who hasn’t heard of Gisela Ramirez you must be living under a rock but just in case here’s a quick run down – Gisela is a Sydney based independent designer who has recently released her first collection of amazing and unconventional clothes for plus sized girls. You can read an interview with her here (written by the wonderful Nicolette Mason), view her tumblrs here and here and see some of Gisela’s pieces in GABIFRESH‘s lookbook here. So now that we’re all up to speed, here’s the details of the giveaway.

Gisela Ramirez and Fat Aus are giving one lucky reader the chance to win one of Gisela’s amazing bondage skirts! This skirt is my personal favourite piece of this entire collection. It comes in both black and white (you get to choose the colour) and from size AU14 – AU28 (which I think translates to US12 – US26 but check the measurements to make sure of your size). To enter this giveaway you need to be a follower of Fat Aus via Google, RSS, BlogLovin, whatever and leave a comment on this post letting me know how you follow and your email address. For an additional entry ‘like’ Gisela Ramirez on Facebook and let me know your Facebook name (just your first name and last initial is fine).


This giveaway is open to readers worldwide and will run for one week ending on August 1st. Good luck babes!

Celebration

Celebration

I wore this out for dinner with Tom and his parents. We went to this new-ish pub, The Royal Park, in Tom’s neighbourhood (which was my neighbourhood first but I guess now that I’ve moved it’s just Tom’s) to celebrate Tom’s latest uni results and my enrolling in school – my first day is on Monday! I didn’t think the food was too amazing but I did really like the open fire and macrame plant holders, I can definitely see us going back to sit by the fire and have some drinks. Plus they sent over complimentary port and chocolate truffles after our meal!

I couldn’t be bothered with my hair extensions tonight. They need a wash and/or I need to get some new ones but I’m considering dyeing my hair red again so if I do that I’ll need to buy some red ones. I loved having red hair and I miss it but it takes so much up-keep that I don’t know if I can be bothered doing it again.

Don’t forget tonight’s your last night to enter the We Love Colors giveaway!
