I had long accepted my role as “the single girl” over the last few years (and when I say few… I mean a lot!) In fact, I quite liked it to be honest. I was really good at distracting myself with my career and putting other things first so it was rare that I felt lonely, even with all of the travelling I do! In a very unexpected turn of events, someone came into my life and completely shook it up, but in a good way. For the first time, in a long time, I was pursued by someone. Ladies, you know how it is, sometimes it feels like we are doing all the chasing when in actuality we just want someone to chase us. Well that happened for me! Now, months and months down the line, I’m engaged! The forever single girl is single no more. I’m absolutely loving every minute of this process as well. So get ready for lots of wedding posts! I’m having a crazy short engagement and between releasing an album, doing festivals in the UK and a tour this Autumn, I’m also planning a December 2017 wedding!?! I’m not sure I thought things through […]

Introducing the New Active Wear Collection from NIKE

I have never understood why so many active wear clothing companies ignore the plus size community, so I’m thrilled to see Nike pioneering the movement. You can check out the full collection here, but first here are a few of my favorite pieces… Nike are not just great for active wear, they have some great leisurewear too – as modelled here by my fellow blogger friend, Danielle Vanier. I absolutely love that Nike has not only used gorgeous plus size models but influential bloggers as well! Sometimes its best to keep your style simple. I love how you can go straight from the gym to the high street in this head to toe Nike look. Dani is bringing it again! I don’t know about you, but I would definitely like to rock this look during my Zumba class! The new collection is more than black leggings and tops. There are great sports bras to support the girls and lots of colors to choose from when it comes to putting together your workout look. So hit the gym in style, ladies! Rock those curves while keeping it healthy!

As much as I love the department stores and high street shops, I have always been on the lookout for fantastic independent designers who specialize in clothes for a curvy body types. Years ago, thanks to Etsy, I found several but one stood out among the rest. The clothes were bold and looked like something you’d see on a runway. The only difference was, the women looked like me! They weren’t hiding themselves away in dark colors but rather declaring who they were in bold colors, prints and designs. I instantly fell in love with JIBRI! I had never seen designs like this before for plus size women. Take a look at a few of some of my favorites from their amazing catalog of clothes. Jumpsuits and Denim will be all over the place this S/S17. JIBRI has this BOAT NECK MID SLEEVED DENIM JUMPSUIT that will work perfect for warmer temps. Don’t be afraid to be bold this Spring and Summer with some on trend bright colors. We will see lots of Yellow and Orange around. This ORANGE GEOMETRIC FLOWY SLEEVELESS SPRING MAXI DRESS does bold perfectly! Don’t be afraid to bear that midriff! With this classic high neck sleeveless […]

With the weather in Texas reaching spring temperatures in mid-January, I can’t help but look to the near future at next season’s trends. I personally can’t wait for the warmer weather and the sunshine to hit, mostly because I’m ready to sport some new looks! Here are 3 trends for the Spring/Summer that I am looking forward to… 50 SHADES OF PINK All shades of pink will be everywhere! I always get a lot of grief for wearing color but looks like I’ll have a good excuse to rock it this year! It’s not just going to be pink either – another color to be on the lookout for this season is yellow. * Valentino SHOULDER PADS Welcome back to the 80s! For those of us who remember this trend we may not be too excited that it’s back. Nevertheless, it’s back and can give a really strong, tailored look if worn properly. * DKNY, Michael Kors and Céline JUMPSUITS FOR THE WIN I am so excited to see this trend becoming more of a stable look. This is one of the easiest looks to achieve and can be flattering on just about every body type. You’ll see jumpsuits in denim, […]
