10 Places To Buy Plus Size Resort wear

June 9, 2022

If “Where to shop for plus size resort wear?”, “What to wear on the beach if you are plus size?” or “Where to buy plus-size resort wear maxi dresses?” are all questions you have been asking yourself as of late. Today’s post is for you. Like many plus-size women, the moment I book a vacation, I get a little anxious about what to pack on my tropical getaway. There are many more options today than a few years ago, but it can still be super tricky to put a decent plus-size vacation outfit together. I wish that places like revolve carried plus size but in my dreams, right?

Spring Makeup Favorites for Dark Skin Women

April 2, 2022

This post is sponsored by Nordstrom Canada

Spring is finally here and you know what means right? Do some spring cleaning and switch a few things in our makeup bags. I just got rid of a lot of expired beauty products because I never had the opportunity to use them during the pandemic so it’s not only time to restock but also to try some new products.

Have you ever visited the beauty section of Nordstrom, if you haven’t, you should. They have many of the top beauty brands in a wide range of shades and colors. I visit the store to seek the assistance of a Nordstrom beauty advisor when I am ready to try new products but, when it comes to my go-to’s, the site comes in handy.

March 16, 2022

Is it too early to talk about plus-size white summer dresses? I think not. This is the best time to start looking around, especially with spring coming in just a few days. I’ve been counting down the days until I can ditch my coat for some cute dresses and light jackets. Last year, my round-up of summer plus-size white dresses was a success, so I had to do another round for 2022.

The curated list below will be updated monthly until the end of summer to add more pieces. Do make sure to bookmark this page and come back to it again.

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite plus-size white dresses to rock this summer.

New Year, New workout gear with Gap Canada!

February 1, 2022

It’s been a while time since I shared an activewear post. With it being the 3rd week of the new year, now seems like the perfect time to do so. I like to purge and update my workout gear around this time of the year because there are a lot of deals and options available. Also, what’s a better motivator to workout than a cute activewear set?

Although the gyms are currently closed in Ontario, I still do my best to work out at home at least 30 minutes a day.

Guess who is back with another Plus size shacket post? You loved the first one so much that I had to come back for a second round. Most of the options in the first post are sold out. Today, I will share more plus-size shackets with y’all and a few ways to wear them. If you care less about how to style your plus size shackets scroll down to the bottom of the post to find some options

Assuming you are very new to this trend, you first need to determine if you want a long or short shacket, then, think about color and fabrics. I love the long ones because they look good with bottoms, jeans, leggings, skirts, and even dresses. The most popular shackets are usually plaid, reasons why they are very trendy around the fall season. They are super cute, but I get more wear out of the plain ones, and I can wear them in fall, winter, and spring. The shacket trend is here to stay for at least another season or two, so if you like them I recommend getting one on time for next spring and fall.

Holiday Gift Guide – Top 20 Nordstrom Canada Gifts Under $100

Here we are, my very first-holiday gift guide of the 2021 – and it’s from Nordstrom Canada. No surprises there because you know shopping at Nordstrom is my jam! Honestly, I cannot believe we are headed to 2022. Like what? This year flew by, but the good news is we are just a few weeks away from the most “wonderful time of year.” The time where we get to create even more memories with our family, eat a lot of food, and exchange gifts for those who celebrate Christmas.

Like in previous years, I like to beat the crowd and get my gifts and everything I need ahead of time to spend as much time enjoying the holidays as possible. This is not the year to be last minute as there are shipping delays, and you don’t want to be the person that blames Santa.

The holiday party season is almost underway so if you are looking for festive outfits or plus-size party outfit ideas in general, you’ve clicked on the right post. When it comes to holiday party outfits there is nothing new under the sun but every year we still look for new ideas to look fabulous and that’s where I come in. I scoured the web the internet to find amazing plus-size holiday pieces, styled them, so you can use your time for something else. I purposely left out plus-size holiday dresses from this post because I wanted to show you all the possibilities. You’ll also notice that most of the looks are on the casual side, that is because we are still in a pandemic and most parties would be within family settings or with very close friends. Without further ado here are four looks to take you to any party this year.

Plus Size Matching Sets Perfect For Fall

October 11, 2021

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.
