FFFW - Day 3 - CC Insider


Last night (Day 3 of The Full Figured Fashion Week®) I had the pleasure of attending the annual "Curves for a Cure" celebrity runway which was a fantastic event supporting Breast Cancer Research. We frocked up to view the runway of the latest trends, even featuring a gorgeous City Chic pink maxi dress! 


I loved seeing the stunning Rosie Mercado, star of "Curvy Girls" walk the runway. 


 I got so many compliments on my City Chic Flocked Floral Vintage Style Dress
I loved the pop of red!

Aussie Curves: Boho-luxe

Boho isn't my usual style but I was tempted to push myself out of my comfort zone a little and test it out for this weeks Aussie Curves boho themed plus size blogger challenge. I decided to go with a more Boho-luxe vibe - think vintage textures and patterns in a chic palette of black and golden yellow.


Outfit details
Leather look peplum top City Chic Wet Lool Peplum top $59.95 AUD
Vintage wallpaper skirt City Chic from earlier this year
Black frill kaftan City Chic from a few seasons ago
Necklace Borrowed from my sister

 I love the way the sheer fringed kaftan catches the light.

Flower crown Bought at a market stall for $1, total bargain!
Sunglasses My oversized Karen Walker sunnies just scream boho-luxe don't you think?

Fringe bag An old favourite that I felt was perfect for this boho-luxe look.

Chelsea gumboots A modern take on the classic Chelsea boot. Bonus - great for jumping in puddles!




FFFW - Day 1 - CC Insider

 
Day 1 of Full Figured Fashion Week® kicked off with the Ashley Stewart Blogger Breakfast with CEO Celia Clancy and fellow curvy bloggers from around the globe. I wore the City Chic Textured Weave Dress with the City Chic Arrow Belt and red flats for a pop of colour!


I also had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Kelly Augustine from @MASQUEmag who was wearing the latest monochrome styles that are right on trend! If you love black and white hues be sure to check out the new arrivals at City Chic this week!
  
After a fab day one of FFFW I also got to try my first "New York Slice" of pizza!
