One of my biggest requests has been to style boyfriend jeans as a plus size woman. Here's how I did it, using the same exact kimono as my girl Mireille from City Peach! This is the second feature in our series, STYLE HAS NO SIZE, and we LOVE THIS LOOK! I hope you do too!
Read More“What happens when you finally lose all the baby weight, what will you call yourself then?”
“What size are you REALLY, though?”
“Are you calling yourself plus size just because you’re pregnant?”
“What size were you before you got pregnant?”
These are just a few examples of questions I get ALL of the time. From real life friends and family, to people I don’t know on the internet.
Read MoreIf you follow me on Instagram and watch my stories, then you probably saw awhile back where I admitted a HUGE fault. I NEED UNDERWEAR HELP.
Seriously. For years it's been the last thing on my list, and definitely when it comes to an item of clothing over underwear... I'm spending money on the clothing. What can I say.

Read MoreI've been hearing this quote several times in the past week - almost like it's the universe SHOUTING IT AT ME. It's been a really good reminder. Life is full of seasons, things can be challenging but hard doesn't have to be a bad thing.
If you've been following along with me, you know I've been working my butt off before this baby comes to make some extra cash and secure more hours towards our healthcare benefits.

You guys KNOW that I am all about wearing leggings year-round, especially while I'm pregnant. I do appreciate a good pair of jeans, don't get me wrong. But these days - I need the most comfortable option out there!
And, as I've said before: Leggings are hard to style - I totally get it.

I have something I need to admit to you guys - ever since I had my first baby, and my bust size grew dramatically, I have not spent the time, money or energy on finding myself a new bra that fits me properly. Funny, because it is actually SUCH an important foundation garment and will make or break all of your outfits and confidence.

Read MoreI can’t sleep, and all I can seem to think about right now is gratitude. Like, out of nowhere, I was just overcome with an extreme amount of thankfulness for everything great in my life right now. Funny how that happens.
I’ve had a rough couple of days. Between lack of sleep, anxiety, hormones, and emotions... it’s just been hard on my soul.
Read MoreAsk and you SHALL receive! Here you'll find a TON of plus-sized little black dresses. A lot of them are on sale too!
The term "little black dress" used to freak me out. I don't know why but I just envisioned this teeny tiny model in a Herve Leger skin tight black body con dress. Anyone else?

Read MoreI haven't done this in a while... but I've been working on not putting so much personal pressure on myself to get things done. Here's a look at my goals for this month, accompanied by my favorite look ever from Eloquii! I highly encourage you to practice writing out your goals at the beginning of each month - it really helps center me!
Read MoreHEY, ladies! It's summer, I'm pregnant, and yep - you guessed it, I'm hot ALL OF THE TIME. This means that one of my biggest goals every day when getting dressed is to find something EASY. Like, I basically just want to wear an oversized version of my husband's button up shirt all summer long. Is that so wrong?!
There's nothing I love more than a cute, EASY dress I can throw on in the Summer.
Read MoreI moseyed on over to Nordstrom last week and did another try on... this time without my sweet sidekick!
