MY BODY IS FANTASY

I grew up feeling that my body wasn't valuable, beautiful, or worthy because I was fat. Today, I stand proud in my body. When I look in the mirror, I find beauty in every curve, dimple, and scar. So much so that it's almost hard to recall what influences made me feel so inferior and ashame…

PLUS SIZE WORKOUT SETS

When it comes to plus size workout sets, have you ever seen anything cooler than this look? I haven't, and I have also never been more excited to work out. This set from Fabletics (this look has sold out, but you can see it here: FIERCE) gives me all the motivation I need to get out and reach …

I MAY BE IN LOVE WITH THESE JEANS

I am constantly on the hunt for jeans that fit and feel like leggings. There is nothing worse than sliding into a pair of jeans that don't have the right amount of stretch to them. All of my jeans must be stretchy and comfortable to wear all day. I have a lot of go-to places where I can find j…

A WOMAN CHANGES WITH THE SEASONS

I’ve been waiting all year for this. For whatever reason, my mood is 100% better when fall is in the air and leaves are on the ground—and it definitely helps to have a super cute outfit on.

Now, I know this look isn't …

IT'S A SKORT?

I feel like I belong in a Kill Bill movie remake.....for some reason. Anyone else getting the vibes? If you follow me on Instagram or YouTube, you will have seen this top a few times. I can't stop wearing it.

I originally ordered this look from Fashion Nova Curve toward the end of summer. I lo…

ICE PRINCESS

Wooo girl, it's been pretty cold here. We kind of skipped fall in Chicago, and plunged straight into winter. But I got a package the other day that warmed my heart and spirit. And inside the package, a note read: "Winter doesnt have to mean a wardrobe that is all doom and goood. I hope yo…

WELL PLAID

I was going to write a post about how this adorable plaid skirt stopped me dead in my tracks while I was out shopping last weekend, but then, just an hour into me wearing it....the side of the garment ripped open. And what's worse, I was talking on a panel in front of dozens of women when it h…
