I think our goal should be to sparkle and shine bright all year long, but this is especially true when you're headed out for the Holidays. Sequins just seem to shine a little bit brighter under the twinkle of Holiday lights. Let's talk about this jumpsuit from Lane Bryant. I love this for special events, [...]
The air is starting to get crisp and the leaves are turning from green to hues of yellow and orange creating a back-drop for pumpkin patches, gools and goblins, and of course boots, sweaters, and all things cool and cozy. Well not really… We are still experiencing 90+ degrees here in Los Angeles and it’s [...]
Society: You're too big, please make yourself as plain and muted as possible to atone. Me: Puts on hot pink dress and struts even harder. Shhhhhh! You are supposed to be seen and not heard.

I've got a new friend and Allie's got long legs just like me! I’ve been over 6 ft tall since I was 14 years old and since then I can remember clothing from LaneBryant hanging in my closet. Being both a tall and curvy doesn’t make shopping easy. I am thankful for the growth in [...]

With the summer months upon us, I am sure we are likely to show a little more skin. No... a lot more skin to be exact. Ladies if you're heavily blessed up top a good strapless bra is hard to find. I love strapless dresses and jumpsuits in the summer, but can rarely find a strapless [...]
"Power is the ability to do good things for others"- Brooke Astor There is a thought floating around that power comes from what we gain. Wealth, position, admiration, respect, or influence. I am a firm believer in power comes from what we give. Love, encouragement, or support. Don’t get me wrong, wealth, position, and influence [...]
I am thrilled that I get to write for Fat Girl Reviews and I am thankful to have their platform to tell my story. This past February I had the opportunity to spend some time with some of the best Track and Field Athletes in history and learned a beautiful lesson about life. Here is [...]
"Forget the Rules. If you like it wear it" I love a pretty dress as much as the next girl, but I love pants just a bit more. For the longest time, I could hardly find pants long enough. Just when the search for long pants has gotten a little easier, jumpsuits are popping again. [...]
