Looking for a way to add a little femininity to your casual outfit? Here’s a very simple outfit that will give you a little weekend inspiration. This week, I’m pairing studs with lace for an edgy feminine look. In this look, I’m wearing an off-white lace top underneath a black graphic cropped top. To add a little edge to the outfit, I added a studded necklace, book bag and pair of shoes. Complete outfit details are below. Have you ever wore studs and lace together? Tell me how you spice up some of your favorite weekend looks. Drop me a comment below.
Spring and summer are right around the corner. That means it’s time to get those arms, legs and core in tip top shape. For those of you who work out religiously, you don’t have anything to worry about. But for those of you who are like me – you’re probably screaming “AHHHHHHH” in your loudest Home Alone voice. Those extra helpings of my favorite holiday dishes may make me actually have to step foot in a gym (ugh).
Wait, I haven’t been in a gym in quite a while. What am I going to wear?!? C’mon – I can’t make my grand reemergence to the gym looking like a hot mess. Little did I know that finding plus size workout clothes would be so difficult.
Hey ladies! If you’re like me, you love the thrill of shopping for something new. But when funds are tight, you have to get a bit more creative with what you already have. Don’t fret! Shopping from your own closet is awesome — at least you know everything fits. Ha! Today, we’re going to discuss three ideas to transform your summer wardrobe into fabulous winter staples. So break out your white jeans (yes, I said white) and get ready to strut down the winter runway!
Over the last few weeks, everyone’s been talking about how they’re going to be ‘Brand New in 2016’ or how they’re changing something about their life. As we know, New Year’s resolutions RARELY stick. I’m sure most of us have already moved on from them and we’re not even out of January yet. Ha!
Regardless of whether you create resolutions or not, one thing is true – the start of a new year is the perfect time to start fresh. But don’t let the time of year fool you; you can ‘press restart’ on your life at ANY TIME. And that’s what today’s post is about — how to truly live (not merely exist). Just as motivational speaker Les Brown, states, “life has no limitations, except the ones you make.” Let’s L.I.V.E. life to the fullest!
Happy New Year! The holiday season has officially ended and now it’s time to ramp up the fashion. I know we’re all still making our New Year’s resolutions, so here’s one to add to the list – NO MORE BLACK (outfits, of course…lol). Yes, you heard me right. We have to break out of the mundane of our dreary all black wardrobes and add a pop of color. That’s why this week’s topic is entitled, “Orange is the New Black.”
Ahhh — there are officially six days until Christmas! If you’re like me, you’re still scrambling to get a few last-minute gifts for your friends and family. If you have a tall / curvy girl on your shopping list, listen up. Today is ‘National Free Shipping Day,’ so it’s the last day to take advantage of free shipping before Christmas. Check out my picks for the best last-minute holiday gifts for tall / curvy girls.
If you’re a tall and/or curvy girl like me, you know how hard it can be finding a great store that caters to your body and style. After weeks of blog research and Instagram stalking (I’m not afraid to admit it…lol), I stumbled upon a store called Talltique. Talltique launched in the beginning of 2012, and over the last four years, has grown to be a market leader in the tall women’s clothing industry. The store was created by 6’4 beauty, Helen Pappas, who grew frustrated searching for fashionable and good quality clothes for true tall women (not just the 5’9 ladies mainstream fashion denotes as ‘tall’). Don’t you just love it when someone in ‘the struggle’ helps to address the need?!? Talltique’s has both an online and brick and mortar presence. Helen is always available to answer styling/fit question and opens her doors to local tall girls by appointment only. Check out some of my favorite new pieces below:
Happy Holidays! ‘Tis the season for family, friends and celebrating this special time of year. I especially love this season because there are holiday parties galore. And what’s a holiday party without a little glitz and glam? Check out these holiday looks from Fashion to Figure and Talltique that will ensure you’ll be ready for anything from a last-minute date night to an evening holiday party.

Today, I wanted to tell you about my favorite fall tall jacket from a vendor called Tall Girls. I first learned about this speciality store from a great blogger named Bree (TheTalllSociety). The company is based in the UK and was created in 1998 as a small shoe vendor for large/hard-to-find shoes. Over the years, they’ve evolved to sell everything from denim to swimwear. I simply love their motto, “fashion that fits” because it really epitomizes the plight of a tall woman. It’s all we really want — cute designs tailored for our bodies. It’s like mainstream designers forgot abut us after we left their runways. Maybe they’re all working on secret tall lines soooo amazing that it’s taking years to perfectly complement our flyness…hmm, probably not.
