Here are some photos of things that happened this week.

Zigmond slept like a little loaf of cat.

And like a little kitty croissant.

I wore this outfit to go eat burritos.

I have this sticker on the back of my car

Twins!

Spotty nails

Pretty into this reindeer cardigan.

I do have a closet upstairs but about half of my shoes end up downstairs lined up against the wall.

Cutest cutie.

I couldn’t decide which jacket to wear last night.

I ended up choosing neither and going with this longer leopard faux fur because…

it has a hood with ears and some pom poms. I’m so happy that it’s cold enough for faux fur!

And I ate a really good chilli dog from Phat Brats in Fitzroy.

If you want to be Instagram buddies I am bronnyzig

If you’re as obsessed with the idea of fleeing the city, sustainable living and to a lesser extend living off the grid, as I am you will love Free Cabin Porn. Just as the name suggests, it’s a whole lot of photos of awesome cabins from various places around the world. The beauty pictured above is in Långserud, Sweden.

I’m not really sure what’s going on here but it’s one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen (I found this on tumblr with no proper source but if you know more about it please let me know so I can link it to the correct place).

Ever since I saw Dirty Dancing when I was a kid I’ve wanted to go to the Catskills so the fact that this (beautifully decorated home) is located there just made me love it even more. It’s owned by an artist and a designer and was built from a prefabricated kit home (which, coincidentally, so was the house I grew up in, although that was a lot bigger and made out of slightly less steel).

Waffles the cat. He is a ridiculously cute Scottish Fold who you can find on tumblr, facebook and twitter.

Are fashion bloggers in general (but specifically at MBFWA) redundant? Honestly, I am not interested in fashion week. I know it seems like sitting first row at fashion shows is every ~style blogger~ ‘s (or whatever it is I do here) dream but not mine. I don’t have any interest in working in the fashion industry and it just seems incredibly boring to me. But I know that not everybody shares my opinion and that a lot of people who read fashion blogs or style blogs are very interested in fashion week and want to see the collections and photos from the shows and all of that. So while I don’t share the vitriol for most of the bloggers mentioned I do think this article raised some interesting points – are fashion bloggers obligated to post detailed coverage of the shows they attend (especially for events like MBFWA that are not open to the general public and thus readers who are not involved in the fashion industry cannot attend)? Are their readers more interested in photos of the bloggers outfits than the runways? I don’t know but I do think it’s worth thinking about.

They’re not always TVs and they’re not always in Fitzroy but TVs in Fitzroy is a blog (run by Limedrop’s Nathan Price) documenting the many, many tvs (and other things) decorating the streets in Melbourne’s inner suburbs.  You can even submit the ones you’ve found and photographed yourself.

Bodie, California is a ghost town in a state historic park which means that you can go visit it if you’re ever nearby. And why wouldn’t you?! Who doesn’t love ghost towns.

Old Loves in a blog devoted to photos of celebrities who used to date and have since broken up. From more recent couples like Mandy Moore and Zach Braff, to ones from the 1970s like Bruce Jenner (and his old face) and his first wife Chystie Scott to Ione Skye and Anthony Kiedis (pictured above) in the 80s. It’s a fun way to kill some time and come across some strange pairing that you never knew about.

The Walk of Faith is a 60 meter long glasswalk way on the side of a cliff 1,430 meters in the air in China. I don’t think I could do it but the photos are really freaking cool.

Unfuck Your Habitat is a foul mouthed home organisation motivational blog. They post lists like this:

Unfuck tomorrow morning!

• Wash the dishes in your sink
• Get your outfit for tomorrow together, including accessories
• Set up coffee/tea/breakfast
• Make your lunch
• Put your keys somewhere obvious
• Wash your face and brush your teeth
• Charge your electronics
• Pour a little cleaner in the toilet bowl (if you don’t have pets or children or sleepwalking adults)
• Set your alarm
• Go to bed at a reasonable hour

every few days and have a lot of helpful tips for those of us who aren’t naturally tidy along with some cool before and after shots of fucked/unfucked habitats.

And last but not least, here is a video of my cat being silly and falling over while I laugh evilly.

As bad as I am at blogging regularly, I’m actually really good at keeping up with Instagram (I’m bronnyzig if you guys want to be Instagram buddies). So here’s what I’ve been up to latey:

We went out to Tom’s parents’ house in the country for the weekend a couple of weeks ago. This is their cutie kitty Ollie.

And their cutie sheep. This is Mrs Wooly.

On our way home from the country we stumbled across an abandoned motel.

I mastered the sock bun.

This is the sight that I see every time I leave the house. Bye bye Zigmond!

I’ve also sort-of mastered curls.

My street is looking very Autumny at the moment

Bored at work? Take photos of yourself in the bathroom.

Bored while waiting for food? Take photos in the mirror

We introduced Zigmond to one of possums in my front garden the other night.

Not the greatest start to a little Saturday daytrip.

But eventually we made it to our destination and were greeted with this! The sheep’s name is Timmy. This combined with hanging out with Mrs Wooly has me wanting a pet sheep.

I’m not sure if I’ve shared any photos of my home on here, so here’s a bit of my lounge room.

I went to a car show yesterday and hung out with the DeLorean.

And last but not least – all the ingredients you’ll need for the easiest and tastiest pumpkin and sweet potato soup.

Since it wasn’t exactly practical to go to Washington after watching too much Twin Peaks, I decided to go up into the mountains last night.

The view is pretty amazing.

I’ve been attempting to learn how to curl my hair. I think I need to invest in some hot rollers.

I wore this on Easter Sunday. I’ve been doing a few bad-quality outfit photos on Instagram when I can’t be bothered carrying my heavy DSLR around.

Tom and I went to see This Must Be The Place and dressed as twins.

I went up to Hepburn Pool on Good Friday for what was probably the last really hot day of the year. It’s a pool that was made in the 1930s by using concrete to create a dam wall type thing in an existing natural body of water. It hasn’t been used as a public pool since the late 1960s but it still has water running through it and you can still swim in it. They held the Victorian swimming championships there in the 1930s.

The Easter bunny visited my office and I got a blurry photo with him.

Little sleepy Garfield.

I don’t think a bowl of chilli fries ever looks especially photogenic but these ones from The Gasometer were the best chilli fries I have ever tasted so they deserved a photo.

Zigmond: the cutest cat to ever live.

Some new reading material from the Kill City crime bookstore.

I’m excited that Instagram is now on Android, so many of my friends are on there now! If you guys want to be friends my username is bronnyzig.

I did a blog post a few months ago featuring links to some of my favourite bloggers (Heaps Cool Stuff: Bloggers Edition) and it was pretty well received so I thought I would share some more blogs I’ve been loving lately.

Ashley writes the blog This Is Ashley Rose. She is clearly Jennifer Connelly’s babely twin sister or something, idk. She owns the online vintage clothing store Studded Rose Vintage, lives in Melbourne and frequently dresses awesomely.

Broadist is Caroline and Roxy’s personal style blog but it’s also so much more. They post weekly lists of ‘some babes I liked on the internet this week’, their own outfits and reblog enough feminist quotes to make Broadist feel like some kind of wonderful online girl gang.

Katie Merchant blogs on Thank You, OK and posts photos of delicious food, her beautiful home and various cool/inspirational things. She used to live in Seoul, now she lives in Toronto and she also has probably the most perfect hair I have ever seen.

Cute dogs, a cute cat, crafts, motherhood-stuff, weekly manicures, you’ll find all this and more on Unicorn Parade. I have known Tanie online for a really long time, like four or five years I think and I can safely say that she is really awesome and you will enjoy reading about her life (she will even drunkly live tweet Twilight movies for your entertainment). Tanie also has a great Etsy store where she will make you a glitter banner saying pretty much anything you like (even feminist killjoy).

Arched Eyebrow is the blog of British babe Bethany. She posts great outfit posts and gets involved in stuff like Burger Queen.

High Socks is Kristin and basically I kind of love Kristin because she buys great couches and puts photos of Beavis and Butthead in lockets. She also op shops (thrifts) like a pro and dresses really well.

Chances are if you’ve been blogging/reading blogs for a while you’ve probably come across Kaelah (her readership is seriously enormous) and generally I try to link to smaller/lesser known blogs but I couldn’t leave her out because she is one of my absolute favourite bloggers. Unapologetic about her somewhat repetitive style (if you find something that you love go with it, if you ask me) and love of ugly shoes I find her to be one of a very few ‘famous’ bloggers who actually kind of tell it as it is (even more so on her tumblr). She has great taste in everything (I can’t wait to see photos from her up-coming wedding), owns her own business, has amazing hair and posts multiple times a week so there’s always something new to read on her blog.

Dresses and Snacks is just that – cute dresses, delicious snacks and the most adorable little dachshund you’ve ever seen.

I dyed my hair. It looks black here but it’s actually some dark brown red colour. Idk, I like it.

My favourite face

I found this guy in my building’s car park the other day.

My article about pegging jeans was featured in this awesome Make It Work fatshion zine (buy your copy here).

Corn fritters and bacon for breakfast.

And strawberry margaritas for dinner.

Waiting for Phebe at Prudence the other day.

Dear Fat Aus readers,

I am sorry for being a horrible absentee blogger lately. I’ve been very busy looking for a new place to live after my lease ended in January and after I found the perfect new apartment, I was busy packing and moving. And now that I am all moved into my new place I have began the always fun ‘waiting for the internet to be connected’ game. So between doing all of that (and working full time) I haven’t been dressing very well or had time for taking any proper outfit photos for the blog. Now that I’m all settled in hopefully I’ll be back being a regular blogger, but until then here are some Instagram (my username is bronnyzig if you want to be buddies) photos of what I’ve been up to lately.

The upstairs loft bedroom at my dad’s house (where I sleep when I stay over) is pretty awesome.

As is the upstairs carpeted bathroom and shower stage.

The first view of the downstairs of my new apartment just after I signed the lease and picked up the keys.

Starting to unpack

The view of my balcony from my bed.

Burgers and cider for dinner with Tom.

My kitties, Maloney and Zigmond, exploring our new home.

SO HOT in the car.

And because this is supposed to be a personal style blog, here’s what I wore yesterday.
