Home for the Holidays
With the holidays around the corner, I’m sharing the first in a series of holiday inspired outfits. This cozy cardigan look is perfect for casual family gatherings, shopping around town, or grabbing a peppermint mocha with your sweetheart. Printed cardigans take the guesswork out of outfit planning, which makes them a fall/winter essential. I found this beautiful grey and white one from bar III at Macy’s and it works with jeans, leggings, and joggers.
I wore this outfit with my woven tote from Mercado Global. They don’t only make gorgeous, exquisitely handcrafted bags, this brand has heart. Mercado Global employs rural indigenous women artisans in Guatemala and helps strengthen local communities through education and empowerment. I feel connected to their mission because my mom’s family is from Guatemala and both the country and its people are beautiful. Weaving is part of the culture and history, which makes these bags timeless. If you’re in the market for a unique and beautiful gift—for yourself or someone you love—you have to check out their fall collection.
This cardigan isn’t plus-size, but it’s definitely plus-size friendly and runs through size XXL. I’m wearing it in a size XL and it has a generous sweep. I’m obsessed with mine and this label makes so many cute ones! I’m sharing my favorites below. Click on any image for direct links!
The Evening Suit
Kiss Me Crop Top
I’m a busy mom and sometimes I look back incredulously on the days when I had hours to primp and prep for a midweek dinner out. You don’t appreciate having so much time to yourself until it’s gone. Like most moms, I spend much of my day doing things for other people. It’s ok though—I love those people!
But some days, I just want to feel like myself. If you’re a new parent you might miss going for a walk, grabbing a drink with friends, watching a movie by yourself, or window shopping online. One thing I miss is dressing up for dinner in the city. Don’t get me wrong, grabbing takeout sushi and eating it at home in pajamas can be wonderful. But sometimes, a mom just needs to dress up and get out.
You need time that is ONLY yours. I know it’s hard, but you deserve it. It can also help you feel refreshed and ready to take on the next week!
Silk Leopard
This was my outfit for a party last night. After I saw how gorgeous this dress looked on xtina, I had to have it. I love the stripes against these snakeskin Helmut Lang heels. I think so. cal sunsets are beautiful, and you can see a bit of one in the honeyed look of these photos taken outside. xoxo

I put this outfit together to do my remaining Christmas shopping. I love layering sheer blouses under knits. This blouse is perfect because it’s cut just low enough for the lace of my bralette to peek out. My attempt at that distinctly Dolce and Gabbana neckline that walks the line between sexy and sweet. Happy holidays! xo

Here’s an outfit from this weekend. I paired these inky blue corduroy pants with this cashmere top. For some extra tszuj I added this unique vest with purple silk bows. Love all the textures! Also, you can see a better picture of my lighter hair color.

Here are a few photos of an outfit I wore to have lunch and shop in Costa Mesa, CA. Lately I’m obsessed with this creamy rose hue. Something about it makes me think of sunsets in Morocco.
This top has delicate beading and is so beautiful in this color. It’s super soft and just glides over the body—my favorite trait in an oversized top. It’s from Nordstrom’s plus line Sejour. Love this with my new gold leather Halston clutch!

This summer, my go-to outfit consists of boyfriend jeans and a striped top. I love it because it’s a pretty easy way to look and feel chic during the hot summer months. Here is one variation I did this week—blush peg pants and a black and white cropped top
If you read my last post on spring style inspiration, you know I’ve been dreaming about bright pink pants. I have also been wanting to find silk pants because they’re so luxe. Imagine my excitement at finding a pair of hot pink silk pants by Ralph Lauren!
These were a dream come true. I’m loving hot pink for Spring, so I’m really happy with this outfit. I think black and cream stripes look amazing against vibrant hues.
Jacket: SimplyBe, Top: F21, Pants: Ralph Lauren, Shoes: Miu Miu, Bracelet: Fennimas
These were a rare find. Recently I have been shopping on ebay and etsy for unique additions to my closet. I definitely recommend it!
Of the spring fashion trends for this year, I think the sporty trend is most intriguing. Relaxed silhouettes, sweats + heels, and boxy crops tops have a ’90s girl vibe that I love. I had to give it a feminine touch that is more my style: this kiss print top was the perfect way to do it.
Top: H&M, Pants: Torrid, Jacket: Evans, Heels: Louboutin, Cuff: Vince Camuto
Mon Petit Chéri
This outfit feels like the sartorial equivalent of blowing a kiss, so mwah to all my readers! This year, it seems no fashion girl’s closet is complete without a full skirt that hits below the knee. I fell in love with this skirt because the back dips down to the calf, making it it flow gorgeously. Isn’t this light purple perfect? Added my new favorite sunglasses and a coquettish red lip.
I’d say this is a great third-date-outfit, you know, the one that seals the deal. I wore it to go out with my husband and remind him (and myself) that beneath my mom exterior, I’m still a bombshell. xx

Spring Pastel Trend
Recently, River Island contacted me to see what I thought of their spring lineup. If you’re a longtime reader of my blog, you know I’ve featured them before. I feel inspired by the spring trends for 2014, especially pastels. The sweet hues at River Island remind me of carefree strolling, sunny days, and two-hour lunches. I think something about pastels make you look like a woman in love.
As you become older and busier, you don’t always have time for a romantic afternoon with your other half. But that doesn’t mean I can’t have a beautiful day out with someone I absolutely love:
p.s. If you are looking for plus-size clothing as a size 14-16, River Island can be a great place to shop because their UK18 fits well, especially if there’s a little stretch. In terms of fashion-forward pieces, I think they beat ASOS too, which is saying something! If you are new to the brand, they are worth checking out.
Jacket + Earrings: c/o River Island, Pants: D. Perkins, Shoes: Donald J. Pliner, Bag: Kate Spade
In the pictures I’m wearing some pieces from the Evans x Clements Ribeiro collaboration. Their prints were gorgeous, though much is sold out. I personally think Evans is underrated—I’ve found some amazing things there over the years.
The Art of Draping
First of all, I’m so honored to have been recently featured on some amazing sites! Grazia France listed me in a feature about the top plus size blogs. Chic.com, a Brazilian fashion site, profiled me along with other fabulous bloggers. Finally, an awesome feature and fashion resource was posted on Refinery29 and Jezebel. Thank you so much! Hello to any people visiting from these sites!
I fell in love with this dress when I saw these gorgeous folds of fabric. Draping is definitely an art and until now it was missing from my closet. The dress has a bit of drama but is simple in concept. It’s so soft and comfortable, which is important to me since it’s hard to look great if you don’t feel great in what you’re wearing. I love the exposed back and the fact that my leg peeks out when I walk.
You can find it at ASOS. It’s only available up to size UK14 but the shape and jersey knit make it flexible. I guess this is another example of how the numbers on a tag aren’t that important. Tell me what you think and whether I should wear it with or without the belt! Thanks for reading!
Dress and Belt: Aqua Couture, Bag: Simply Be, Heels: Louboutin
It’s been a month since I had my baby and life has changed so much! Lately our days (and nights) have been all about baby. I had the chance to go out with my husband yesterday evening so I dressed up in this bodycon skirt and contrast blouse. I wanted something pretty and feminine and something that was definitely not maternity wear.
I’m so excited for Fall weather, Fall fashion, and the fact that I no longer have to accommodate a baby bump in my clothes. Here’s to more outfit blogging. xx
Candy Stripes & Peplum Top

My Thighs Kiss
Cute Flats and Soft Layers
Sometimes a dream outfit is years in the making. A long time ago I fell in love with a Miu Miu sweater that had a flutter panel. I’ve been looking for a replacement ever since and finally found this pretty flutter sweater. In a similar vein, I have been looking for the perfect harem pant forever. I went for an all over slouchy look by combining both. Fall is the perfect time for suede shoes, and I fell in love with these rose suede flats.

What to Wear to a Business Meeting
Sometimes I need a dress that says “let’s sit across the table and strike a deal that will make us both richer.” This is one such dress. I used to think only suits meant business. Do you think a dress can be even more powerful than a suit? Tell me what you think.

You might think you have to look a certain way in order to wear a trend “perfectly.” But Beyonce has proclaimed that perfection is so ehhh. The rules exist in your mind but you can always change your mind. Go forth and wear anything you like. Wishing you a lovely holiday!
Melissa Masse Plus Size Designer Dress
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Melissa Masse’s boutique in Los Angeles and I’m completely smitten. I tried on a dozen dresses and fell in love each time. It was so hard to choose one, but I came home with this beautifully printed silk blend button front dress.
The day made me realize I’m used to shopping in the “plus size section.” Be it on a website or in a store, it’s usually off in one corner, right? But at Melissa Masse I found the same dress in sizes XS-3X on the same rack. So simple, but so wonderful. This is what shopping should be.
I think your closet reflects where you are in your life. As I draw closer to the end of my 20s, I feel like a distilled version of myself. I know who I am and what I want more than ever.
I want beautiful, well made clothing. I don’t need much, a few cherished garments will do.
When I was at the shop I heard a woman talk about finding “her dress.” Not “a dress.” Not “a good enough dress.” Her dress. I want to find my dresses. I know they are out there. A bunch are at Melissa Masse right now.

Black Crop Top
As a new mom I feel there’s no gift more precious than time. My sister offered to watch Julia while my husband and I went out for the afternoon—thanks Jen! I wanted to wear something I would have worn on a pre-baby date. Decided these carrot pants and short biker jacket. Softened it with these pretty Miu Miu wedges and my new jeweled clutch. xx
I kept seeing this top sell out, so wondering what the fuss was about, finally bought one and I totally get it now. It wears like pajamas but looks so pretty and flows perfectly. I tucked one side into my jeans for a slightly different look. I got the petite version in burgundy which has shorter sleeves (here it is in blush pink!), but it’s so oversized that I think sizing is super flexible. It’s also available in plus size
Winter Blush

Mini post! Here’s what I wore for a night out and dinner at a great Indian restaurant. Wore my favorite tux blazer and suede boots, keeping the rest simple.
On my lips I’m wearing NARS Damned. I love this berry shade against my new hair color. I went from dark brown to warm brown + caramel highlights.

This unique and stylish dress was very graciously sent to me by eShakti. It has stretchy panels that make some parts of the dress look more transparent than others, but the layer underneath ensures you have enough coverage throughout. The dress is well made and looks more expensive that it is. I got mine in a size 16 and I may bring the waist in a little but other than that, I think it’s perfect.
For this first outfit, I wanted something a little dressed down. I put this chambray shirt on top of it after seeing a woman pair denim with an Herve Leger skirt. I love this outfit with these strappy shoes because they’re super comfortable but keep the outfit interesting and show off my purple pedi!

My friend Gabi of YFF pretty much started a trend of plus size women wearing short dresses with blazers. I had never tried the look until this weekend, but I can see why so many love it. It’s dressy, but also relaxed and comfortable, but still sexy. I wore a pair of booties because I thought the look needed a more substantial heel in order for the outfit to have some balance.

I think a heather gray sweater is a classic, wardrobe staple. But you know my style—I love sparkle, even in a sweatshirt. I was recently at Forever21 when this embellished sweater caught my eye. Wish I had taken photos in direct sunlight, because this one is so pretty. A must have!

I’ve wanted a pair of high waisted jeans for the longest time. So happy I have this pair from City Chic. I love the panels around the waist, the column of buttons, and how the jeans hug the body. I paired mine with a button up because I saw Kim Kardashian wear a pair of high waist jeans like this.
I definitely think plus sizes can look great in this style, don’t let anyone tell you you can’t wear something because of your size. Life is short, have as much fun with fashion as you want! I didn’t wear shapewear with these because I don’t find shapewear comfortable. And it’s hard to feel sexy if I’m not comfortable. So forget the spanx.
I used to feel shy wearing certain things when going out by myself. This is funny, but my tip is to go out with your ipod and play something that makes you feel like you’re walking on your own catwalk. Some of my favorites are Gwen Stefani’s “Luxurious” and Beyonce’s “Diva” or “Kitty Kat.”

I wanted to let my American readers know that City Chic recently launched its US site. I’ve shopped there before and LOVE their jeans. They have some cute stuff on the site, go see! Did you know City Chic is going to participate in the Australian Fashion Week this year? If their past performance there is any indication of what’s coming, I’m excited! Can’t wait to see the images and wish I were there.
Thank you to Danielle, who blogs at DaniMezza & City Chic’s blog, for letting me know about these jeans. And many thanks to City Chic for sending them to me. Thanks for reading. <3
p.s. for those who asked about sizing, i have other cc jeans and thought the high waisted style ran a little bit smaller. if you are in between sizes, think about sizing-up.

Hello again! Thank you for all the lovely messages from people wanting me to continue blogging. I’ve missed it and missed all of you too! I definitely want to keep writing and plan to make different kinds of posts (e.g. beauty, musings) in between outfit posts.
I am in love with my new cape and its darling gold buttons. Worn over jeans and a white tee for an easy chic look. The cape is from River Island, a UK brand I purchased through asos.com. The quality is great and I love the brand, presently available up to size UK18.
Makeup: Chantecaille tinted moisturizer, MAC Strayin lipstick, MAC blacktrack fluidline liner, MAC grand duo blush, Diorshow blackout mascara.

I love soft shades and cute pants so when I saw these peg pants from ASOS curve, I knew I had to have them. Note: these run large compared to other pants I’ve tried from them. I sized down and they were still loose around my waist. Asos Curve recently added several more cute pants to their range so check them out!
I think this pinkish-brown shade looks so good against this burgundy button up. I love wearing these pants because they are comfortable—a good alternative to wearing jeans. I’m trying to hunt down a skinny brown belt to wear with these in the future. What do you think? Are you wearing peg pants this season? xx

Hocus Pocus
This Fall I want to be wrapped in thick knits and rich colors. Remember the movie Hocus Pocus? My favorite Halloween movie! I always loved the witches’ clothing and I think this knit cape from Evans gives off a chic witchy vibe. Perfect for October. A cape goes great with a chunky boot, like these by Jeffrey Campbell. Underneath I’m wearing a flowy top and my Asos jeggings. So comfortable, but still stylish.
If you are a good witch I would suggest sticking to a bright lip. I recently bought Rock & Republic blush and I’m so impressed by the quality. So pigmented, I def recommend them. In these photos I’m wearing a bright coral shade called “Immoral” and my lipstick is MAC “Moxie.” I like bright lips and cheeks during Fall because the day feels so grey otherwise. I prefer liner + mascara to eyeshadow for daytime.

Lately I’ve been loving chic trousers. These carrot pants were on sale at Lane Bryant and they’re actually the only LB item I own, but I’m in love with them. I think they look great with this French Connection sequin top too. I usually don’t wear all black but when I do, I enjoy combining different textures.
The Beth Ditto collection at Evans UK launched recently and I bought this sweet cardigan. I remember seeing it at the Fall preview in NYC during the YFF conference. I had made a mental note to buy it. So cute! Also, I’m excited that I was able to wear these suede Miu Miu heels now that the weather is changing. If you love Miu Miu too then I recommend you visit my fellow Miu Miu lover and friend Nicollete’s blog, Nicollete Mason. Her taste is exquisite and her blog has so much fashion eye candy.
I finished this outfit by adding my new cuff bracelet from Fennimas. If I had to describe Rachel’s work in one word it would have to be luxe. Thick gold chains, embellished cuffs, statement necklaces, and sparkly rings, her jewlery always makes me feel fabulous. I recently got a couple pieces that I am so eager to share! I bought a necklace that took my breath away. Cannot wait to show you!

Posts have been scarce the last couple weeks because my non-internet life has kept me busy, but I do have material for new posts! I’ve made a few fashion purchases and I bought some awesome makeup that I want to review. Thanks for reading! xo
Hi everyone! It’s been a while since my last outfit post! I wanted to show this super cute organza jacket I got from the ASOS Black collection. It’s perfect for going out on a warm summer night. I wore a sheer tee underneath for a cool layered effect. The midwash jeggings from ASOS Curve are so comfortable and it’s nice having an alternative to dark denim, which I usually favor.
I’m going to try to post clearer shots of my makeup from now on. Today I wore La Mer foundation, MAC Grand Duo blush, Mac Blacktrack liner, Shu Uemura mascara, and Mally B-Sexy gloss.

It’s been a while since my last outfit post because I was waiting to use my new Nikon dslr camera. I’m still learning how to use it, but I’m happy that picture quality is improving on the blog. I’m going to Los Angeles this week so I expect I’ll have some fun pictures to share!
I love flowy tops with jeans but to keep things a little interesting I paired the look with these animal print booties. I think scrunched up skinnies are so perfect with booties! I brought along one of my blazers too. I received this gorgeous necklace from Fennimas and I love it! The onyx horn pendant looks so good against the sparkle of the chains and beads. Great quality and so stylish!
I recently bought a sample package of Big Sexy Hair products and OMG I love them! I used the shampoo/conditioner but I think the star of the line is the hair spray. I just used a little and shook my hair with my hands and my hair was huge! It lasted a long time but by the time I took these photos it was more subdued. I definitely need full size versions! Thanks for visiting my blog! xo

Ruffles + Booties
First, I wanted to let you know that I put some ad space in the right column. I’ve kept the page ad free until now but they can help make the blog better + more fun in the long run! Thanks sooo much to everyone who visits this blog, reads, and comments. You guys are the reason I keep blogging! xo
This outfit is a little funny because I built it around the booties, which I got first. I wanted to pair them with a cropped pant because I think peep toe booties work best when you show a little calf, so these harem pants from Torrid are great for that. I like that they aren’t too slouchy. I added my ruffle sleeve top because I think it’s so soft and pretty and a nice contrast to the tough look of the booties!
