Outfits, capsule wardrobes, and fashion advice for women over 40 featuring Talbots. Modeled by a size 14/16 petite woman in her 40’s for real-life style advice.
I know I just shared Talbots last week, but I was pretty psyched to see that they’re recognizing their plus size/Woman collection with its very own style guide.

I have often written about the difficult parts of blogging, but there’s some pretty sweet parts too. The friends that have been made with fellow bloggers, readers, and even some brands. The ability to get paid for a hobby or passion. And yeah… swag. We bloggers can get a lot of free stuff. Granted, that… Continue Reading The Best of 2014, Swag Edition
