How to wear monochromatic like a pro? I don’t think I am a pro at this, but based on the few times I’ve worn a monochromatic outfit I think I can share a few tips with you. I wore this beauty a few weeks ago, edited the photos and forgot about it until I had a conservation with a friend today about pleated skirts. If you ever thought you could not wear them because of your midsection, I am living proof that you can. Here is the thing, I always get my pleated skirts from straight size stores such as H&M or Zara. Why? because the skirts have a lot to give but take me in at the same time. Read More »

The freezing temperature this past weekend was a little reminder that winter is coming. Oh! Also a reminder that Christmas is only 42 days away. Even though I’ve had a busy week, I still managed to start with my holiday decoration.
Kicking off a full week of holiday posts with this beautiful dress from Reitmans‘ Signature Collection- A specially curated collection of glamorous holiday styles and accessories. A few days ago I had the opportunity to see, touch and feel the entire collection. I can tell you right now that you are in for a treat. Read More »

This is the dance I made when I learned that White House Black Market was launching a plus size line this Fall. I’ve been sitting on this news since this summer and I could not wait to finally it share with you. Starting today and right on time for the holidays, you can shop sizes US16 to US24 on their website.
I can state without any hesitation that 2017 has been a great year for plus size fashion. From Joe Fresh, Reitmans and New York & Co extending their lines to Nike, Rebel Wilson, and Lauren Conrad launching new ones. Read More »
Bold prints have been everywhere for a while now. That makes me happy because to know me is to know how much I love beautiful prints and bright colors. I love mixing them, wear them with neutrals or full on like my outfit today. As far as I am concerned bold prints add a lot of personality to my boring outfits. Read More »
Cardigan/ Cami/ Pants c/o Reitmans
I have been blogging for years. For all those years I and others have fought tooth and nail for inclusivity and better fashion for plus size women. First, some brands listened and started to make plus-sized lines. We were happy until we found out that the lines would only be carried online (insert sad face). If they were carried in the store, you had to walk into the darkest corner at the back to get them. Even then, the items in plus were different from the straight size ( insert another sad face).
Fast forward to 2017 and enter Reitmans. One of the few brands that took note and made changes. Now, Reitmans carries clothing up to 3x both online and in STORE. Read More »
Phew ! We made it through the first week of school guys. The kids are still working on their sleeping patterns and I am working on making healthy lunches for them. Other than that, we are ready for an amazing year.
I wanted to start today’s post by sending plenty of love to everyone affected by the hurricanes. I was browsing through some photos last night and I could not hold my tears. These hurricanes have destroyed entire countries and nothing can give them back what they’ve lost. I hope we can all find it in our hearts to spare some clothes and money to help the victims. You can make donations here.
Stay strong and we are thinking of you.
I’ve sat here now for several hours trying to figure out what to write. I could tell you about this beautiful floral cold shoulder dress, but it’s the end of summer. It would be foolish of me to ask you to invest in it when we are headed colder months unless you really like it of course. I would suggest however you check my pre-Fall outfits post to get started on your Fall shopping. Since I am having a writer block I will leave things here, hoping to come back in full force on my next post. Read More »
We are officially just 2 weeks away from the beginning of school. Insert panic mode, trying to figure out everything last minute. As much as I am ready for the kiddos to get back to school, I am going to miss having them around the house. We had an amazing summer, I hope you did too. Here are our Cheers to an amazing new school year!
Btw, we shot these looks for Sears Canada for their Back to School campaign. You can find all the details here
When 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.
