Hot. Fat. Mess.

  • SAHM Tip #8: You Need Hobbies

    Being a stay-at-home mom doesn’t grant you all the free time in the world but there is a certain amount of flexibility in some of our schedules that does create occasional gaps where we don’t even know what to do with ourselves. And I don’t know about you, but my go-to things to pass the…

  • Wordless Wednesday: Space Baby

  • Gilded As Charged

    Kid you not, I literally had this gold trimmed skirt from ASOS on my wishlist for months. I watched it get marked further and further down, sure that my size would sell out any day. Finally I bought it and it’s everything I ever dreamed it would be. Gold accents are one thing but foiled…

  • Office To Outing: J.Crew Pink Wool Skirt

    I’ve been seeing a lot of posh pink looks on the fall runways. As much as I love the whole Jackie O thing, I have never been a fan of pink on myself. If given the opportunity to create a pink outfit for one of my creamier friends, however, I would jump at the chance!…

  • Weird Weather Wear

    If you’re on my side of the bay, you’ve been experiencing some gloomy yet seasonably warm weather for the past few days. This is quite possibly the most annoying weather for me, fashion-wise. The air is moist and dense, begging for tank tops and shorts, while the sporadic breeze will send a chill up your…

  • Imperfect Prep

    My jacket collection has been the central focus of my wardrobe building as of late and I am beyond stoked to add this bright little baby from Lane Bryant to my closet. I’ve also been a little obsessed with black and white looks but I just love what happens when you throw colored summer jackets…

  • Fashion Confessional: My Worst Wardrobe Habits

    Ten years is indeed a lifetime when it comes to your closet. Obviously trends change dramatically in a decade but what about your tastes, your figure, your lifestyle? Ten years ago I was a sophomore in college, I LOATHED my body, and my clothes had an entirely different purpose than they do today. They were…

  • Prints Please!

    Creating an outfit with mixed prints can be risky business. The handbook on play-it-safe fashion will caution you to pair solid tops with printed bottoms and vice versa. Personally, I’m not a fan of safe but I also know too much of a good thing can end up looking like a hot mess. My rule…

  • SAHM Tip #7: Take Self-Defense Classes

    For those of us moms who are married or in a long-term relationship, it hasn’t been “all about you” for quite some time but man, is there nothing like having a baby to drive that point home. I really feel like this was the the fire under my ass that got me to register for…

  • Wonder Palette

    It’s been a while since I have color blocked and it is still one of my favorite trends. This color combo is what I like to call The Wonder Woman–golden yellow, cobalt blue, and fire engine red. The v-neck shirt and skinny jeans are chic yet basic pieces so I had a little wiggle room…
