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

Bright White
My summer go-to is a bodycon dress. By the time June comes around, I’m usually on a super clean diet and in a pretty committed workout routine and feeling pretty darn good about myself. And I will admit that if you were to walk into my closet, you would absolutely find an obscene amount of black bodycon dresses in as many variations as they come.
So this time, I decided to push myself a little bit and go with a color that scares me in bodycons – white. That being said, I dec

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

Weekend Essentials
Hot summer weekends are right around the corner. And let’s face it: when it’s that hot out you need a no-muss, no-fuss, go-to outfit that will keep you cool while being stylish and cool. For me, that outfit is a super lightweight peplum top and casual denim shorts. Light wash denim is so quintessentially summer – and when you add a hint of distressing, you win! I couldn’t resist pairing my plus size jean shorts with this absolutely gorgeous, vibrant peplum. shorts via city ch

TGIF
Happy Friday, everyone! After a long week of traveling and shooting, I just have a quick and simple post for you today. I picked up this flowy mint top recently from my favorite City Chic store on sale and it’s perfect for those casual shopping days out with the girls. I know I’ll be wearing the heck out of it this summer! Have a wonderful weekend! jeans via city chic {similar} | mint top via city chic | clutch via vuitton {similar} | wedges via ann taylor {old, love these!}

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

Casual Friday
Not every day can be a high fashion outfit day.
So I’ve been told.
While I firmly disagree, I thought I would share a more casual, cozy look with you all to inspire you for this weekend. I know the bulk of you are under a snow storm (winter, that’s quite enough of you, thanks!) so hopefully this cable knit sweater will work under your parkas.
I think one of the struggles we all face is making our casual wear something special. For me, what elevates a sweater from simple to

Power Suit
When I was asked to participate on a panel at my local FGI chapter, my brain immediately turned to what I would wear. I admit, not exactly the most responsible reaction when you’re being asked to speak on the business of fashion in front of a crowd.
But, hey. We are who we are, n’est-ce pas?
I looked for weeks and couldn’t quite find the right outfit. I wanted something that felt strong, but still modern. Feminine, but it had to command attention.
It was on a snowy winter
