Melissa McCarthy is not typically known for looking fabulous or her fashion sense. Instead, we often see her on the silver screen looking androgynous as she makes us laugh, and we forget that she is acting. In real life, this woman slays fashion. Even though she publicly protests couture designers not catering her, she continues to wow us…

Birthday Suit
It’s my blogiversary today, and my birthday is exactly one week away. SO much has happened in the past year – I am in a totally different place. I started this blog just days before starting my current position at CrowdSource. I needed something to pour myself into, and I wanted to do something that made…
Spring Holiday
Easter is only one week away, so we’ve got some outfit planning to do. I will repurpose a dress that I already own, since my fave holiday look has not yet reached my doorstep via Gwynnie Bee. When I got this dress during a pop-up shop event during NYFW, the temperatures were dropping, so I wore…
Trish McEvoy: Power of Makeup Class Review
I was totally thrilled when my ARCONA rep, Kim, asked me to attend a Trish McEvoy workshop sponsored by Nordstrom. I practice professional makeup art, so I am always interested in perfecting my craft. The set-up was so cute, sectioned off on the far edge of the cosmetics area. It started at 6:30, so the…
70s Vibes
I am thrilled that 70s-inspired fashion is back because these trends are right up my alley. This here is a low-budget look, and I am less than pleased with some of the pieces here, mostly because of the fit. Junior plus size clothing is so unpredictable. I’ve ordered from these retailers before, but I suppose they…
Hipster Nights
Spring is almost here! And, this dress is totally awesome for transitional weather, like we’re experiencing here in STL, because it can be layered. I added a jacket, fedora and a stole for warmth and style and a little 70s flair. Gawd, I love transitional weather – it just marries all the best of fashion. I…
The Magic of Thinking Big
Plus size women should have access to fabulous garments just like straight size women. We know this, yet brands are still not delivering what we need. However, back in August 2014, when a well-known blogger spoke out against size discrimination, Target listened – eventually launching AVA & VIV. This new line is the first exclusively plus size…
Wanna Cookie?
This is a Cookie inspired look. So, you know it’s all about the furs and animal print. Cookie is totally my spirit-animal: Fierce, rising like a phoenix out of the ashes. She is so strong and vulnerable at the same time. I LOVE. I got this sexy and sleek dress via Gwynnie Bee – and, I…
New Subbie at Gwynnie Bee
A black and white color palette is both trendy and classic. It was also all over the runways at NYFW 2k15. So, when I saw this Taylor Geometric Shift Dress in ivory and black on Gwynnie Bee, I had to put it in my closet! I signed up to receive two items per month, and I think that’ll satisfy…
