Moto Mama
Since playing with that gorgeous white plus size bodycon a few weeks ago, I have become obsessed with white. I’ve been trying on just about everything white dress I can get my hands on in as many different styles as possible. This one, in particular with it’s moto detailing, is so different and full of attitude. Add in the fact that it’s from Fashion To Figure – an exceptionally affordable brand – snagging it up was a no brainer. dress c/o fashion to figure | heels via vince

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

Lilly Pulitzer for Target SwimWear
When the collaboration was announced, I knew I wanted to load up on swimwear. While I ended up snagging a few other pieces, I decided to keep these in their packaging until Swim Week came back. I’m so excited to show you guys the gorgeous plus size swimwear pieces I bought in hopes that the fit, colors and photos would inspire you to find something similar that works for you. The first set I picked up was the Fan Dance print set. The pastel print is so cute and the sweet litt

White Hot
There’s nothing more gorgeous in the summer than white. If you’ve been visiting here for a while, you’ll know I’m a big fan of all-black-everything. When the summer comes, I flip that around as much as I can and try to wear white as often as possible. The contrast deepens my tan and becomes the neutral that goes with everything. I’m trend-mixing a bit in today’s look. Bardot necklines have been huge so far this season (though a staple of mine since they work so well for my fr

PopSugar OPI Hawaii Color Challenge Plus Size Edition
When the gorgeous and talented Miss Pepper invited me to be a part of this mega-collab, I couldn’t say no. Firstly, because I adore her to bits, but second, because there’s nothing I love more than a fashion challenge. Have you ever wondered: if you were a color, what color would you be? (No? Just me? Okay.) I’ve always felt I would be hot pink. The bright, punchy color is energetic and warm and at the same time, feminine and bold. skirt via banana republic {old, similar dres

Wedding Week – The Glam Bride
I’ve been dying to share this post with you. I was married eons ago – before plus size wedding dresses were a thing – much less stylish ones. But if I were getting married now?
It would be all wham, glam, thank you ma’am. Finding this wedding dress was like winning the lottery. There it was, across the room, hanging on a clearance rack. Halston Heritage. We can all take a second to swoon. It was a designer size XL but looked pretty generous. I ran to try it on and wouldn’t y

Wedding Week – The Whimsical Bride
This look is one of my favorites for Wedding Week. At heart, I am a Disney Princess, so anything remotely princess-y gets my heart racing. This dress is simple in theory, but the pleating and cascades of pearls and crystals on the shoulders make it oh-so-special. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a plus size princess bride… this is your dress. When we set out to shoot this dress, I swear birds were chirping just a little bit louder, and the world seemed just a bit brighter. It

Monochromatic
yay! these pants are so comfy! Soft pants are the ultimate in lazy girl chic, aren’t they? Totally work-appropriate yet so comfortable it feels like you’re in your jammies while you’re telling those spreadsheets who’s boss.
These from Torrid were a bit outside my comfort zone – I tend to stick with dark bottoms/jeans – but once I put them on I knew I had to have them. The harem-style is much more flattering than you’d imagine, and the way they fall just above the ankle gives
