Holy Water

When I ran into my friend, Monae, at my cousin’s funeral we decided to kick back and reflect after the service. She photographed me. Other than that, I don’t have much to say. My eyes just water these days – more than usual, which is already a lot. I am still. In deep thought about everything that’s…

Catching Rays

One of my favorite summer pastimes is laying out in the sun for hours. I may read a book, chop it up with the girls or listen to some music. Sometimes, I even fall asleep, but I don’t recommend that.  If you live in the midwest, like me, the weather isn’t quite hot enough to…

How ’bout those apples?

Being an apple-shaped gal, I’m always looking for flattering pieces that flow away from the body or just skim my curves. So thankfully, the jumper-style draping on this dress sent to me by A’nie’s Accents hides all my problem areas from the VBO to the back fat. A lot of plus size influencers say that you should…

Pumpkin Spice Life

You know it’s fall when pumpkin spice starts to consume your life. It’s in the coffee, the pastries, and even comes through in fashion color palettes.

Fringe me, baby!

  Fringe is everywhere, and I am loving it. So I had to share some of my favorite picks:

Miami Sunrise

We touched down in Miami the Sunday before Memorial day, and it was live. Visions of beefcake and bikini babes overwhelmed the scene – something I can surely get used to. I quickly slipped into my fatkini and hit the beach, but not before grabbing some drinks. The squad and I strolled through the picturesque streets, and made…

Bloggers Be Like

I got this dress via Gwynnie Bee, and had to wear it one last time before I sent it back. I cannot wait to get some more cute pieces from them this week! So, anyways, these photos almost did not go up because of they’re over-exposed. Good lighting for photos is just one of the many things…

Shorts

These shorts are the TRUTH! I am getting all of my life in these comfy Shirred Panel Shorts from Forever21+, which are currently sold out online, but may be available in-store. I bought mine at the Galleria Mall in STL, which now carries plus sizes – pretty exciting, even though it’s just a small corner…

Happy Hour

  I stopped downtown at the Marquee after work for happy hour sponsored by 100.3 The Beat. It was a lot of fun, with Mishelae as the host. I wouldn’t mind swinging by the Marquee next Thursday on the way home from work. The menu, drinks and music was on point. This combo is good for a…
