Resort

I am beyond ready for my upcoming vacation.  It’s been years since I’ve gone away for more than just a weekend, and I am so ready to relax and feel sand between my toes. So I’ve been planning outfits and considering what to wear for dinners and activities. I want to be comfortable and sexy…

One of Those Days

Today was super-busy, and I just wanted to be comfortable. My hair was also a hot mess, so I wrapped it up in a plain black scarf – I just could not deal. I put on my favorite DKNY LBD and a comfy pair of Nike’s. For accessories, I opted for a choker from F21 and…

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…

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…

Mood

  Sometimes, the only way for me to make sense out of my crazy life is to just go with it. I just plunge right in, move with it and join the dance. I cannot argue with what is meant to be… Another thing that helps me to clear my mind is to clean or work…

Wet Seal Goes Out of Business

Another One Bites The Dust: I was too mad when I found out that Wet Seal is going out of business. So, when I heard the news, I headed to the mall to hopefully catch a sale. Plus, there was this kimono that I saw online and was just dying to have… even though I am on…
