JEANS | RUST TOP | SNAKE TOP | SILVER BOOT | TIGER BOOT
This post is sponsored by Bloomingdale’s, a brand I have genuinely loved for years. So excited to see them branching out in their extended sizing. This post also contains affiliate links.
I know I've shared some of this in the past and some of you may think Im being dramatic, but.... these jeans seriously changed my life.
I had worked really hard to become a "fit" version of me before getting pregnant.

If you’re new around here, you may not know that Anthropologie extended their sizing to include plus sizes last Spring. I was very impressed with my first fitting room experience (read about that here or watch it here). While I was there trying amazing clothing on that actually fit (tears!!) - one of the corporate team members was there and mentioned that the president of Anthropologie was actually behind APlus 100%.

Back to school shopping… it is honestly one of my most favorite memories. When I heard Stitch Fix was catering to kids now, I honestly had no idea what to expect. But you guys. I have fallen HARD for it. Ever since I saw my Emmie girl lay eyes on her first “fix” … it had to have been one of the cutest things ever. She was SO excited to get a fix just for her, and she loved the personalized note with stickers. She delicately opened each item and gave her review of it. It was so funny. Gah, I love this girl. Watch the video on IGTV here.

If you’ve been following me for awhile this year, then you know that I’ve opened up about anxiety and depression a lot. Opening up about these things may be uncomfortable for some, but for me… it has helped me cope tremendously.
This Summer I have started spending more time outside, mainly because of the kids. By doing this, I’ve realized how grounding it is for me.

Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year is LIVE, and I am here to remind you why this sale happens. It’s mainly Fall and Winter items that you get majorly discounted ahead of season. That being said, I like to use this time to grab high quality essentials that will last a long time rather than super trendy items.

BIKINI TOP $4 | BOTTOMS $4

Taking these photos wasn’t easy. I had to climb into a rocky river, knowing I’m not as strong as I used to be and knowing that I could easily slip and fall at any moment.
On top of that, I was wearing a two piece swimsuit which is never actually as easy as it looks. To be honest, two piece swimsuits are usually more comfortable for me because finding a one piece that fits my torso right is near impossible. But I am always a little more self conscious.

BIKINI TOP | BOTTOMS | ONE PIECE
If your body type is characterized as being skinny, I love you just as much as I love my big girls. This message is for everyone, but especially those who have been so highly underrepresented in the media.
I grew up skipping pool parties, or agreeing to go to them but conveniently “forgetting” my swimsuit. I’d go on vacation with friends and would refuse to get in the hot tub. I’d stick my feet in and chat instead of letting myself just live my life. Sound familiar?
WHY.
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY.

This month, I’m dishing about our personal life, undergarments/bras, our living situation and SO much more - this is a compilation of FAQ’s via email and Instagram!
Q: What is the best strapless bra for a plus size woman?
A: I personally love this Wacoal one. I have worn it for YEARS and used to buy it for clients/actresses as well. It gives you great support and the shape of the cup is perfect. I cannot stand when the cup of a strapless bra looks pointy!!! Like, what’s the deal with that anyway? Ha! It comes in a large variety of sizes.

I can talk all day about fashion… whether it’s out of the box style, high end investment pieces, trends, or the best jeans. But let’s get real for a second. Sometimes - a lot of times - you just need the perfect long tee and leggings combo. I think I’ve found the most magical, comfiest outfit you can run around in or stay at home in (and still feel dressed).

A few months ago, I came across a NY based brand called See Rose Go. They sent me several of their clothes to wear at NYFW, and I was SO impressed with the quality and versatility. I love them because they are giving plus size babes more options in modern clothing. Today I’m showing you 5 different ways to style their Essential Tunic shirt! This is a special sneak peek of the shirt - it hasn’t officially launched yet!
