This is a long one, but this was a long year. 2017 was intense in many ways, in this post I recap one of the biggest whirlwinds of my life, taking this blog from passion to profession and hopes for the New Year. I wish all of you a 2018 full of hope, health and… Continue Reading 2017 in Review
I’m not a big one for shopping a lot after the holidays. Often the sales are just trendy items that will be passé come spring. However, Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale often has some amazing gems that are great purchases for now and years to come. I did the work for you, going through the sale… Continue Reading Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale: My Picks for Winter 2017
This year I cut my hair. I went with a bit of a lob cut and never went back. My hair looks fuller and healthier and takes less time to style each morning. But sometimes I miss my longer locks.

I envisioned them cuffed to the ankles with some old-school sneakers or funky flats, or maybe roll cuffed with an amazing… Continue Reading What I Wore: Denim Coveralls
Earlier this year, I attended an event to celebrate the curvy community in the DC area. I knew it would be amazing fashion, and wanted to stand out but still remain comfortable. I really wanted a jumpsuit, and googled plus size sequin jumpsuit and found this one from Ellos. I was meeting with Ellos and… Continue Reading What I Wore: Jumpsuit Sparkle
