cargo
The 90’s revival has been interesting to watch, as someone who was there the first time around. The resurgence of overalls, Tommy Hilfiger, fanny packs (updated with the name: ‘belt bag’) and flatform shoes have (for the most part) left me feeling like there wasn’t a place for me in this trend… until now. Cargo pants are back on the trend list, and this set from Rachel Roy are exactly what I was hoping for.
As a plus size woman, I’m always keeping an eye out for fit – and no

Classically California
From the time I was a child, I knew I belonged in California. Maybe it was the shows (Saved by The Bell, California Dreams) or the music (basically every 80’s song is about being a California Girl, isn’t it?! Thanks, Beach Boys!) – but growing up in the frigid North of Canada, I knew this wasn’t where I would spend my life.
And even though I technically call Phoenix home (and I love it) the past year living part time in LA has really solidified the fact that this, near the oc

Back in Black
Ahh, home sweet home. This is my go-to. This is my happy place.
This is the look that makes me feel like I own the world.
It’s equal parts rockstar attitude and feminine and I could wear it every single day. If you remember last week’s post about being fearful of wearing a white plus size bodycon dress, you’ll remember that I talked a lot about my security blanket. Well, this is it. I wanted to bring it up to remind you that while I believe that it’s SO important to challen

Cocktail
I woke up this morning with a smile on my face – this weekend is Generation Beauty in LA! I wish I could put together a grown up post about how fabulous this dress is, but in truth, I’m just so excited to wear it to tonight’s cocktail party.
I picked this dress up before Christmas and had been saving it for a special occasion. It’s kind of silly, now that I think back on it, because this dress is actually perfect for everyday wear. But the way it makes me feel is special. Th

That LBD
Just a quick-and-dirty post before I head out of town. I’m off to LA to work on some awesome secret things – which you will see VERY soon – follow me on snapchat if you want a preview! (@sometimesglam) Here’s a look I wore recently while out with husband for date night. A simple LBD (love this one and it’s sweet scalloped neckline and fab pockets) paired with a fun pair of lace up heels makes for a no-fail classic look. I added on my new obsession – my sparkly little bag from

Pretty Pastel
It’s nothing short of a shame that I haven’t brought out this dress before now. I received it as a gift from a friend around Christmastime, and I loved the fit. It truly is a wonderful thing when you have friends who know your style enough to know what you like, what you don’t, and what will push your boundaries. For the most part, I have a strict no halter tops rule. Yeah, they’re flattering. But, the strain that usually comes from the knot on the back of my neck coupled wit

It’s Handled
It’s hard not to reference the famous phrase from the show while wearing a piece from the Scandal collection from The Limited.
I first fell in love with the collection by way of the cape. And now they’ve gone and released a peplum jacket.
Peplum, of course, being the key to my heart. I paired this with my favorite skinny jeans and long sleeve tee – my version of dressing down such a sleek, business-y jacket. It would pair beautifully with a pencil skirt for a serious meetin

Style Me: Glam Girls
As you may (or may not) know, I was born in Canada – on the East side in Montreal. It’s a gorgeous little Parisian-style town with fabulous food, fashion, streets to get lost in for hours and more culture than you can shake a stick at.
It also happens to be home to one of the most fabulous fellow bloggers I know, Miss Cynthia of Flight of the Fat Girl.
When I booked my plane ticket home, I knew I had to reach out to her and see if she’d like to meet up. She obliged. I was t
