Heya peeps! Yeah I’m still here, I’ve got a bunch of posts I’m working on at the moment, now that I’ve finished a big project in my day job and can breathe a bit again.
Today I want to tell you all about an amazing small business right here in Australia that serves we fatties like no other I can find. When I was in Melbourne last year, I got to meet the gorgeous purveyors of plus-size arm candy (no, sadly they’re not procuring hot chunky dates for us), the babes from Ample Armoury. I bought a couple of very cute second hand dresses from their stall at the A+ Markets but alas I was on a budget at the time and wasn’t able to buy any of their gorgeous plus-size bangles. I have however been watching them via their Instagram account and have been plotting and planning for what ones I would buy when I have some dosh again.
The two super cute dresses I bought from them.
Imagine my delight a short while ago when I found out I was the winner of their Instagram competition! Now while I’ve been away working on a big day job project, I wasn’t able to collect my mail, but I finally got to the post office last week and there was a lovely package waiting from them. They sent me four bangles – two chunky matte ones, two narrow glossy ones.
The light in Le Bon Choix at Paddington is gorgeous for photographs.

I can tell you, not only do these bangles fit my chunky arms beautifully, they’re SO comfortable to wear, light but still have that satisfying clatter when you move them together. Yes, I firmly believe that the best jewellery and accessories are noisy ones. I like to jangle, baby.
These bangles are generous on me and go over my hand with ease – though I will point out that I do have rather small hands compared to the rest of my glorious fat body. You can check out their sizing and buy some pretties for yourself on their Etsy store. I do believe they do custom orders from time to time, but they’re in hiatus from those at the moment.
As well as these bangles, they also sent me THE MOST ADORABLE fat lady brooch. I mean seriously, check it out:
SHE LOOKS LIKE ME!!
How cute is that?! So if you find regular bangles are too small for you, or you want a fabulous fat lady brooch like this one, check out Ample Armoury. They can be found at the A+ Markets in Melbourne when they are on, or again, check out their Etsy Store and watch their Instagram and Facebook for other sales and events.
Here, have another photo of them on my arm, along with my FABULOUS nails by Cara at Kawaii Klaws.
