It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s the Fashion Caped Crusader! This week, I’m dishing about one of the pieces that’s become a staple in my wardrobe this season. If the weather in your area has been fluctuating like mine, it’s essential to have something that can be worn during the day when the temps are warmer and at night when they begin to dip. Keep reading for my top three reasons why you need to add a cape to your wardrobe.
Neutral colors have always been a staple in fall/winter fashion but that doesn’t mean your look has to be boring. Ditch the basic whites and creams this season. Instead, consider stepping up your look with a little hunter green and ginger spice. This week, I decided to throw it back a bit with a 70s-inspired outfit I like to call, “Neutral Spice.”
Happy Saturday! Recently I fell in love…not with a person but with three new pieces from Fashion to Figure and Long Tall Sally. The first is a black faux leather and chiffon vest from Fashion to Figure. This sassy number adds a little extra zest to any outfit. Here, I wore it over a plain black top for an added slimming effect.
Today, I’m gabbing about three new winter essentials from TallGirls UK. The coat, dress and boot combo can be mixed and matched to perfectly complement your professional or personal wardrobe.
Guess what?!? Yours truly will be the guest stylist at Long Tall Sally’s Washington, DC Pop Up Shop this Sunday, October 16th from 10 AM until 1 PM! Come out for a great day of games, fun and of course—SHOPPING!
This is a great time to get a jump start on holiday shopping for the tall woman in your life. I’d love to see you there!

Red, white and blue isn’t just reserved for Independence Day. Don’t be afraid to wear your favorite summer pieces all year long. With a little modification, you can easily transition any summer outfit into a fabulous fall creation.

Happy Saturday! Today, I’m gabbing all abut this beautiful Ankara skirt/dress that I purchased from the Ubiquitous Beauty Hair and Health Expo. Admittedly, this gorgeous piece has been in my closet for about a year with only one wear. Originally, I purchased it as a skirt, but I had no idea I could remix it as a dress. Check out my inspiration below.
Have you ever tried on something that literally lifted your spirits? That’s how I felt the first time I tried on a pair of jeans from Long Tall Sally (which was called The Tall Girl Shop back then). I remember the day vividly—I came home from middle school frustrated about not being able to wear the latest jeans that everyone else in my class wore. I remember thinking, ‘Why am I cursed with extra long legs?’ That’s when my mom took me to a place that would turn out to be a staple in my wardrobe from then on…
In case you aren’t aware, curves rock! The plus size community is on fire right now! Now, clothiers are paying more attention to the women that buy their clothing. Because of social media and the power of bloggers/influencers, women now have more choices in what they wear. This spring, People Style dedicated an entire issue to blogger babes who rock! And as we discussed last week, plus model icon, Ashley Graham, was featured on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover.
Curvy women can be seen all over the place, so it’s only fitting that they grace the runway, too. Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the Curves Rock Fashion Weekend in Baltimore, MD. The event, sponsored in part by Ashley Stewart, showcased some of the best emerging talent the industry has to offer. Check out some of my favorite looks of the night!
Who says you have to wear a bikini to be sexy? One-piece swimwear is making a bold statement this season. Recently, curvy blogger GabiFresh and Swimsuit Illustrated’s first curvy cover model, Ashley Graham, released bold new swimwear collections with online retailer Swimsuits for All. In each line, the curvy bombshells showed that you don’t have to rock a bikini to be sexy. Check out some of my favorite looks and swimwear styling tips to help you find the style that’s best for you.
