Comedian and all round funny girl, Amy Schumer is this month’s cover star for the US edition of Marie Claire magazine. Usually in the headlines for her unapologetic sense of humour, this time she is making headlines by looking amazing in what is being described as her sexiest photoshoot to date.

Amy Schumer has achieved a lot in just a few short years. She has had her own HBO stand-up special, Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo, directed by Chris Rock. Her debut film which she wrote and starred in, Trainwreck, grossed $140 million at the box office. Schumer has also been nominated for 5 Emmys for her work on her show, Inside Amy Schumer, of which she is the creator, co-producer, co-writer and star. She is also set to star in a mother-daughter comedy film with Hollywood superstar Goldie Hawn.

In her recent interview with Marie Claire, Amy says, “It’s such a blur. I don’t even remember what I’ve just done. I’m trying to figure out how to navigate all this. I don’t have it down. I. Do. Not.”

sqaure

Having someone like Schumer on the cover of a leading women’s magazine, is a win for ‘normal’ women. It is so refreshing to see someone we can relate to on the cover, rather than the usual super slim catwalk model that we normally see on the cover of glossy magazines. Her dry sense of humour and relaxed body image, has won her many fans around the world. Her confidence and ability to make a joke at her own expense is inspiring and one of the reasons she has become so successful.

However, she hasn’t always been the confident and open girl we know her as. In her candid interview with the magazine, she is open and honest, at times even letting us see her vulnerable side. When asked about was she like growing up, Amy says, “I was always self-effacing, self-reflective. I hated feeling I was just like every other girl on Long Island. Looking at my clothes and my hair. I was very aware of not wanting to be the same as everyone.”

It’s easy to see why the world has fallen in love with Amy Schumer. She’s the best friend you wish you had, she’s real, she’s not perfect, she’s blunt, she’s hilarious, she’s us.

As we shiver through the coldest day of the year so far, now is the perfect time to start planning your winter escape. It’s cold, windy and wet outside; black winter coats and stuffy red noses as far as the eye can see. Even though hot chocolate, homemade soup and any kind of comfort food are the perfect way to stay warm, winter can take a lot out of you. Now, imagine the warm sun on your skin and the relaxing sound of the waves in your ear while you’re wiggling your toes in the sand. The only umbrellas you will have to deal with will be stuck in a cocktail glass or a pile of sand next to your deck chair. A winter vacation is the perfect way to forget all about gloves, scarves and anything fleece.

Winter can be a depressing and difficult time. There is neither a lot of daylight nor sunshine, which can affect our mood and ultimately everything we do. Going to a warm and sunny place in winter might just be what the doctor ordered. It can help you to recharge your batteries and give your body a much needed boost of Vitamin D and serotonin. These will benefit your immune system, give you energy and help you stay alert and motivated until it’s officially spring.

In preparation for your winter escape, we have put together some great pieces to take away with you.

Figuring out how to stay warm while still looking stylish is a dilemma faced by many women each winter. However, just because summer is over doesn’t mean you have to cover yourself in blankets and hibernate until spring time. Whether you prefer wraps over scarves or cardigans over jackets, there’s no end to the choice you have when it comes to creating a stylish, layered outfit this winter.

Many women are afraid to layer their clothes for fear of looking bigger than they actually are. However, a perfectly layered look will compliment your curves and create the illusion of a more proportional silhouette.

This month we bring you our tips on how to use layering to keep warm and toasty this winter.

5 Steps for Winter Layering

  1. Basics belong on the bottom and this layer needs to be your lightest. Keep your base layers more fitted to keep your shape looking slim. We suggest a neutral long sleeve top.
  2. Your next layer should be something soft and not too bulky. You could go with a soft cardi or knitted jumper to add some texture to your outfit.
  3. Then add a jacket, coat or wrap to really lock in the warmth. If you want to give yourself a break from your everyday winter coat, try a chic wrap to keep the cold air out. The right wrap can be surprisingly warm and is easy to remove if you get too hot.
  4. Next, add a scarf. A bold, graphic scarf will protect you from the cold-weather blues and add some style to an otherwise plain outfit.
  5. Lastly, finish off your look with some on-trend accessories.

One of the tricks to layering in winter is keep your pants, or bottom half of your outfit, slim so you can bulk up on top. This trick keeps your silhouette in proportion and allows you to wear multiple layers without looking bigger than you are actually are. Pair a simple black legging with a cute dress, then throw on a jacket if you need some extra warmth. Keep it simple downstairs, with all the action up the top!

Never underestimate the power of all black. Invest in a pair of good black pants and classic black coat to see you through many winters to come. Layer them together for a look that can take you anywhere. The monochrome trend is also a great option when you don’t know what to wear. This simple go-to look is perfect for layering because the colours all complement each other.

To keep your look from feeling as dark as the weather, swap your trusty black pants for a pair of grey jeans—they’ll look just as stylish but will create a softer, more feminine look. Add extra layers with a textured top or wrap to take your look to the next level.

The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting colder, which means winter is on its way. While we wait for winter to completely kick in and cause us to hibernate, we get to enjoy the trans-seasonal time that is autumn. One day it can be hot and humid, while the next day can be so cold that your body goes numb.

Dressing for autumn can be a challenge, however it can also be a great time to experiment with different looks and build your perfect winter wardrobe. This season, autumnal colours are big. This is great news because these colours are a universally flattering palette.

Think of the colours and shades of falling autumn leaves and you will have an idea of this season’s colour palette. Deep, warm and muted tones will flatter your body shape, while also adding warmth to your complexion.

Blog 1

Combining different tones, textures and fabrics are the key elements to creating the perfect autumn look. Use soft colours and fabrics for a more feminine style, or use darker tones to create a sultry and sophisticated look. Layering also adds impact and interest to your outfit. You can use different items to layer and create multiple outfit options with just a few key pieces.

Earthy, but still vibrant, these colours will be a welcome addition to your winter wardrobe.

The white shirt is the very definition of a wardrobe staple. They’re versatile, they go with everything and they never go out of fashion. They are the perfect solution for those days when you feel like you have nothing to wear, even though you couldn’t fit one more item in your wardrobe.

You can dress a white shirt down with denim and clean white sneakers, or dress it up with a pencil skirt and heels. Whichever way you choose to wear it, the white shirt is a must-have in every woman’s wardrobe.

The key to nailing the look is making sure your white shirt is kept in excellent condition and always perfectly ironed. A crisp white shirt creates a low maintenance sophisticated look.

This month we have released 3 very different versions of the timeless classic. Invest in a never-fail white shirt and make it your new go-to wardrobe item. Whether you go for a white on white look, belt it for more shape or layer it with a vest, you can do no wrong with this traditional staple.

Sports Luxe is a trend you can have a bit of fun with by experimenting with different pieces and designs. Remember to keep it clean and crisp, opting for neutrals and pastels.

Now that Christmas is over and we are a few weeks into the New Year, it’s time to start putting those ‘New Year, New Me’ resolutions in place.

We live in a world filled with smartphones, social media, digital media, traditional media and access to any information we need at our fingertips.

It is a world where regular girls are becoming overnight Instagram celebrities, where there are apps that help you Photoshop your images before you post them on social media and where every part of a woman’s body can be picked apart and judged by others.

At My Size we believe in being ‘body positive’. We believe that we are all part of the ‘sisterhood’ and should be looking out for each other, instead of trying to bring each other down. Being body positive is all about being comfortable in your own skin, no matter what size you are.

2015 was an exciting year for the plus-size industry. Plus-size models became more well known, they started speaking out about their feelings about being labeled as ‘plus-size’ and most importantly, they became sexy.

To celebrate the rise of the plus-size model and our desire for all women to feel ‘body positive’, we have compiled a short list of beautiful Australian women who we believe are the perfect example of being ‘body positive’.

1 (6)

Bonnie Sveen

Bonnie plays Ricky Sharpe on Home and Away and has quickly made a name for herself as someone young girls can look up to. In 2014, when she won a Logie for Most Popular New Talent, Bonnie ended her acceptance speech by saying ‘It says something really progressive about Australia and the commercial industry that viewers have so warmly embraced such a natural and healthy young woman on their screens.’

She was absolutely right. For years, the young stars of Australian TV have been model-thin and overly made-up. Bonnie’s natural and healthy look is a perfect example of being body positive. She shows us that you don’t need make up and designer clothes to be successful on Australian TV.

2 (4)

Deborah Mailman

She became a household name when we met her as Kelly on The Secret Life of Us. Since then, Deborah Mailman has continued to become one of Australia’s most popular actors.

In 2010, Deborah said body image has accompanied her from her childhood until now. ”If I look at the one thorn that is in my side, of all my life, it is my weight,” she said.

Even with this massive insecurity, Deborah continues to be successful while not giving in to the industry norm of being stick thin and unhealthy. We love Deborah’s sense of style and ability to dress perfectly for her size.

3 (4)

Fiona Falkiner

Since competing in the first season of The Biggest Loser, Fiona has come a long way. She is a successful international plus-size model, hosted the most recent season of The Biggest Loser Families and just did a very sexy photo shoot for the cover of Maxim magazine.

Scrolling through her Instagram feed is almost addictive; it is filled with pictures of her working out, eating, socialising, modeling and just being comfortable in her size 16 body.

She is 14 kilos heavier now than when she finished filming The Biggest Loser in 2006, however she has recently come out saying that she is actually happier now than she was when she was ‘skinnier’. This is a perfect example of a beautiful young woman who is body positive. You can be beautiful and successful at any size.

4 (5)

Samantha Armytage

Since joining David Koch as the co-host of Sunrise is 2013, Samantha Armytage has scored herself a great fan base and loyal following. However, her weight has always been a popular topic of discussion.

In an interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly, Sam said “It is something people talk about and what I look like resonates with other women. I don’t describe myself as curvy. I’d describe myself as quite strong and healthy, nothing terribly flash. Take me as I am.

Sam has changed the stereotype of journalists and news presenters from often scarily thin, to healthy and natural.
