What a week it's been! So many great projects and prospects and ultimately, feeling more confident in my choice to focus on my brand (blogging/skorch mag/speaking/etc) and less on my agency. I've worked from home for the last few years and have a good agency with clients that are like family, but my heart only sings (how corny I know that sounds) when...
So loving this outfit, can't even explain the awesome I felt wearing. SUPER. FUN. I've been dreaming of a fun plus size pleated maxi skirt since I was mesmerised by Youtheary Khmer at Full Figured Fashion Week (she was just on Ricki Lake too!) and later, even more, after I was asked to model for her! Check out my first commercial modeling debut! So...
Been doing some research on a book Mandy and I are working on, which has changed titles and scope about 12 times...but hey, that's all part of the creative process. And since that process includes being distracted by all things social media, while wasting researching on pinterest I saw this super cool graphic by La Redoute. Love this. Making me dream of traveling the...
So I had this crazy idea and emailed my two fav plus size fashion and beauty bloggers with said crazy idea, and they wrote back excited and heck yes! I asked them if they would partner with me for a fun holiday glam makeover contest, we three love helping our viewers and readers feel more confident and fabulous and I want you to...
Lately, I've been wrestling with being adventurous with my style and yet staying true to ME. It's so hard! I'm like a distracted 4 year old with puppies and butterflies pulling me every direction and I just want to play with everything! LOL So, when I was sent these leggings my heart sang a bit. They were so simply me, something that perfectly...
Remember when I said the other day to sparkle and shine? Well my friends at SWAK Designs heard me loud and clear! I just fell further in love when I saw their new Holiday promotion. No really, just take my wallet/cards and keep them all and I will just forever live in your stock room, k? My bed ready? I will take one...
Nothing makes an eyebrow raise quicker than me telling someone I'm really a rocker at heart. Like, the kind of rocker that REALLY digs leather jackets, boots, metal jams on the iPod, the extra f-bomb here and there and the ultimate live concert experience all while sipping a martini of course! In fact, in my early twenties, my core group of friends were...
I. had. so. much. fun. I. love. my. job. DREAM CAREER This morning I went to my local morning show to do a fall fashion segment featuring TORRID fashion! Check out these looks I put together to show how to rock all the fun trends and keep it chic. HUGE HUGE thank you to Torrid for providing all the items and to the...
Why am I thinking about Vegas? Partly because one of my hubby's fav girls, poker goddess Lacey Jones, just got married and he was kinda bummed and partly because one of my new friends Giselle Grayson is there and begging me to come down and play! So I thought, well hell, if I was going to jump on my private jet to Vegas...
Prepping for a night full of website design and video editing, wanted to give a quicky post. Mandy and I shot these this summer in Portland and I forgot about them! Love the military look, the popped collar and nude velvet heels make this look supremely awesome.

It's a very good day when you can put on a dress and feel like a goddess. I especially love how long the skirt is on this dress from IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel, but wish it was more tapered at bottom...which is why have a tailor is so important! I'm in between sizes right now and thanks to my god given booty *laughing* I...
If you're on the hunt for plus size baroque fashion for your curvy body, here are some great pieces I found around the web. I have to be honest, it was VERY hard to find baroque! I couldn't believe it and was slightly sad I couldn't find a truly fantastic baroque jacket, since when I think of this trend, I envision a luxurious...

First, I pray all of you who had to suffer through Sandy are doing ok. Living here in the NW I'm thankful that all I really have to worry about is the volcano erupting. ;-| *side-eye* Soooooo I'm letting my hippy loose, well hippy with a dash of glam of course. And the bell shape and thick stitch on these jeans are the...
