Every year around this time I get really antsy to travel. The weather is starting to warm up, I haven’t traveled in a while, and I’m ready for a break! I already booked a trip to Hawaii for my boyfriend’s birthday, I’m headed to Amsterdam and Budapest in June, but I still want to hit…

Shopping Spotlight: Plus Size Lingerie Picks
It’s February! ♥ And as much as you may try to convince me that Valentine’s Day is a commercial holiday crafted by card companies to boost sales, I really don’t care. *flips hair* Not like we should need a holiday to celebrate love, but it never hurts to give our significant others a little push in the…
currently coveting: plus size & wide calf boots
[[ shop them here! one. two. three. four. five. ]] In the past week, Southern California weather has done a complete 180 and it’s now super cold and rainy. I can feel a cold coming on (ugh!), and in this chilly weather, all I want to do is layer on sweaters, scarves, and jeans! What better to…
currently coveting: Simply Be Fall Fashion
Fall is probably every fashionista’s favorite season–cool enough for layers and boots, but not so cold that you can’t feel your face when you go outside. This year, while I was sorting through the plethora of Fall lookbook and press releases that are flooding in, I was most impressed by Simply Be’s stunning A/W 2012…
Shopping Spotlight: Wide Width Summer Sandals
I love shoes. They’re supposed to be the great equalizer in fashion, after all! Everyone, regardless of size, can rock the hottest heel, right? WRONG. I guess I have fat feet too, because most shoes are too narrow for me. Major bummer. As a size 10W shoe, it can be really hard to find womens…
trend spotlight: printed denim
One of my favorite Spring 2012 trends is printed denim. Nothing conveys attitude more than a pair of snake print skinnies paired with a slouchy black tshirt and leather jacket. I’d totally rock the leopard skinnies with an oversized white tank, leather wrap bracelets, and a straw fedora for a sexy summer look, too! I…
Shopping Spotlight: Contrast Trim Trench Coat
The Kate Spade ‘Topliner’ trench is perfection in my eyes. Its black trim, perfectly oversized and rounded lapels, and attention to detail (you can’t see it here but the lining is a gorgeous Florence Boardhurst pattern that I’ve used as the border here) are the stuff of dreams. While I’m hardly the type to spend $700 on…
Shopping Spotlight: Rachel Pally Warehouse Sale!
I was graciously invited by the Rachel Pally team to check out their pre-sale yesterday, and it was AMAZING. Total shopping heaven! Doesn’t hurt that Rachel and her team are totally amazing, hilarious, and all-around awesome hosts! 😀 Thank you! 🙂 One of my FAVORITE Rachel Pally prints. Gorgeous, and totally edgy! Okay, shopping regret…
Shopping Spotlight: My-Wardrobe
A recent online search landed me on my-wardrobe.com, a high-end e-commerce site based on the UK. They don’t carry plus size clothing options but there are SO MANY gorgeous shoes and accessories that I’m dying to add to my wardrobe and accessories closet! 😀 Here are a couple of my favorite items: Sam Edelman Leopard…
Calvin Klein Plus Sizes on Ideeli!
[ :: My picks from ideeli’s Calvin Klein sample sale! :: ] I know I’m on a shopping ban, but I picked up the ruffled zip up top in poppy (top row, middle)! It technically won’t be charged until it ships (which will be after the ban is over! lol) and I just can’t say…
