Although these are great options, there is nothing better to gift the women in your life than plush outerwear, fleece, sweaters, or comfy sleepwear. Super excited to partner with Gap Canada today to share some of my favorite holiday pieces to buy for yourself or give as gifts.

Plus Size Matching Sets perfect for Fall
 plus-size matching set

Is it me, or are we having a mild fall this year? Not that I mind the warmer temperatures, but a girl is trying to wear her cute and comfy fall pieces. Talking about comfortable how gorgeous is this plus-size matching set? I purchased it last year but never had the chance to wear it outside of the home yet. Just like last year, cozy matching loungewear sets are having a moment, although I am not quite sure if this qualifies as loungewear. You be the judge. If you are looking for great plus-size loungewear, though, I wrote a post about where you can get the best ones on the net.

Apple Picking At Chudleigh’s Farm

I am starting to feel that little chill in the air. That could only mean one thing- sweater weather is here.  You know what else that means? Fun Fall activities are near. Grab your baskets and prepare to be amazed by the scenery as I take you to a  fun filled day at Chudleigh’s Farm. What a difference a year makes! Last year when we went apple picking, the kids were so much smaller. I never knew that documenting our little life through this blog would bring me so much joy.

4 perfect Fall Lipsticks For Dark Skin Women

Fall Lipsticks For Dark Skin Women- Assa Cisse

I must admit, I love creating these lipstick posts. It’s not because of my lipstick obsession, but because I always find one or two that I have not worn in a while. Today’s post is all about Fall lipstick options that are perfect for dark skin tones.  Whether it’s Fall or not, I tend to gravitate toward darker lipstick shades. It doesn’t mean that darker shades are better on dark skin, just a personal choice. The darker the color the more drama it adds to your face. The options are endless and picking only four out my collection was not easy. Read More »

Joe Fresh Plus Size Line Review

Joe Fresh extended line- Fall editionWhen I heard the news that Canadian clothing retailer, Joe Fresh was launching a plus size line or I should say extending their line for its fall collection, I was excited, to say the least. I have squeezed myself in many of their pieces in the past so the news that some of the new merchandises will go up to size 3x was absolute music to my ears.

As a visible fat woman, plus size, whatever you want to call it, it’s always a win when a brand decides to add a plus size line or better yet simply extend their original line. It’s an acknowledgment that women like me love fashion and deserve to look good. And….. nothing like a one stop shop, grocery, and clothes shopping will be completed together.

Off The Shoulder And White Crop Denim

I hope y’all had an amazing week! I sure had a busy one. I’d like to say that’ll take it slow this weekend but who am I kidding? With summer rolling in there is so much to do around the house. I am working on a fun project for the blog and hoping to finish painting the pergola in the backyard. Talking about summer, how cute is this outfit? I think it is the perfect combo for both spring and summer. It features two trends I am loving this season – The cropped pants and off the shoulder. You may think, I am a bit bias because I am the off the shoulder girl, but who wouldn’t want to show a little skin especially when it’s hot outside. Read More »
