What trends do you see lasting and which ones are going out of fashion? I usually guess by what goes on clearance but I see cold shoulders on clearance and cold shoulders in new arrivals. Help! It seems like plus-size offerings are saturated with bell/balloon selves and cold shoulders (still!!). Any idea how long the… Continue Reading Fashion Trends: Which Are Timeless and Which Should be Tossed?
Sometimes designer collabs are disappointing, and sometimes they’re pretty fantastic. Other than one t-shirt I tried a while ago, everything I’ve seen and tried from the Draper James X ELOQUII collection has been stellar in regard to quality and style.

In college, I would do hundreds of crunches and live off canned tuna and vodka but still found my lower abdomen to protrude… Continue Reading What I Wore: Working Out

That dress that doesn’t require special undergarments, will cover my bra, will hide sweat stains, isn’t too tight but isn’t a muumuu, not too long but I can pick something up off the ground without flashing the world, can dress up and down with ease,… Continue Reading What I Wore: The Perfect Summer Dress
