I get it, yellow is not everyone’s fave color to wear. In fact, there are millions of people who think that yellow does not look good against their skin tone. If you are one of them, I feel you. Before you dismiss yellow all together I would like for you to read this post first. Below I am going to share with you my favorite yellow pieces to purchase for spring and how to style them. I am also going to add a few photos of women of all different shades rocking yellow.

When January came to an end, it dawned on me that I had zero plans for March break. Between running my business and planning the renovation of our master bedroom, I totally forgot about planning our usual March break trip. Though this is not the first time we stayed home during a major school break, things are bit different now that the kids are older.
Anthropologie plus size? I must admit this news took me by surprise a couple of weeks ago when I saw an article breaking the news. I have browsed the Anthropologie site many times before wanting a few pieces but could not fit them. Granted they went up to xl which means that I could only fit in it if the dress or top was loose enough. Today’s post is all about my favorite pieces from the Anthropologie plus size line.
I am so happy that they did not come with just 5 pieces to test the waters. This is a full-blown 120-Piece collection. The line is called Aplus and it’s filled with plenty of boho style tops and skirts to make you want to pull out your credit card and start shopping. The sizing is also very generous. If you wear anything from 16W – 26W you are in luck.
As much as I am excited about Anthropologie’s plus size line, I am equally nervous because so many plus size lines have come and gone including one that I helped launched just a couple of years ago. Hoping that never happens or at least before it does let’s check out some of my favorite pieces.

When I had a 9 to 5 job getting dressed for the office wasn’t always a pleasant task. Why? because I love wearing color. It was always hard to pair colors without looking like a rainbow. It’s very rare to see people in the corporate word wear bright colors. Well, it is 2019 and time to add a bit of color to your wardrobe. No idea where to start? No worries, I am bringing you four simple and chic plus size Spring Work Outfit Ideas to get you ready for next season.
One of the most fun parts of what I do is being able to try so many new makeup products throughout the year. I definitely have more makeup and skincare products that I can use in a lifetime. Even with the daily packages, one thing I still invest my money in is a good foundation. Even with the recent extension of many lines to add more shades, finding the perfect shade for darker skin tones is still a bit of a challenge.
I am sure you stumbled on this post because you’re looking for African print designs and attires for plus size women. I know your pain, that’s why I’ve decided to put this post together and share with you a few places to purchase plus size African print attires. Africa is a huge continent (Nope it’s not a country) with a lot of different cultures. If there is one thing that most African countries share it’s their love for prints. Yes. we love our prints.
One of the many perks of living in Africa is that you can customize everything you wear. In Mali, we have tailors in almost every street corner. It’s a matter of seeing something you like, buy your fabric of choice and hit the tailor. I miss that. Everything I am wearing today was made for me while I was on vacation a couple of years ago.
During my years of blogging, I have noticed that African prints or some might call it Ankara has become very popular in the US and around the world. The fabrics are now made in Asia and have been worn by countless of celebrities. With that popularity, it’s only normal that designers want to cash in. One name that comes to mind is Haitian designer Stella Jean and even recently Dior.
With a big name comes prices. If you are an average joe like myself and looking for something affordable, below is a shortlist of designers that make plus size African print designs.
Whether you are plus size or not Etsy is the go-to store for beautifully crafted African print dresses, skirts, and blazers. All the dresses are handmade which gives you a little bit of room to customize the items you want. The sellers are available from all corners of the world.
At the end of this post, you’ll find some of my favorite plus size African print sets, skirts, and dresses. Just click on each photo to shop.
I have a confession to make. Well! I have a slight obsession with athleisure or cute plus size workout clothes in general. The athleisure trend excluded plus-size women for the longest time. Now that we have tons of options, excuse me while I indulge a little bit.
January is the time of the year most of us reevaluate and set new goals. As a busy mother, it can be difficult to fit in exercise, although I know how important it is for both your body and mind. So one of my goals this year is to make exercising fun! Whether that is going on walks at the park, climbing, snowshoeing or other fun activities. I do not want to focus on going to the gym only. What better way to start than to invest in some cute plus size workout clothes.
Winter is here! Repeat after me, Winter is here! Like most people around this time of the year, I am spending half of my day complaining about the freezing temperatures and the other half looking at pictures of beautiful beaches around the world. A little escape to the sun sounds like a great idea right? Today I am the bearer of good news, not any good news, a historic news and I was part of it.
Plus Size Outfit Ideas with Leggings anyone? Whether you are plus size or not we can all agree that leggings are the one piece of clothing we all go for when we want comfort. Before I started writing this post I went to google and typed “Plus Size Outfit Ideas with Leggings” and funny enough there were not a lot of inspirations out there. I know for a fact that a lot of us plus size women love wearing them so I decided to put together four looks you can rock this winter.
Now is the time to start thinking about your holiday party outfits. No wait, erase that. The holiday party season is actually in full swing. If you don’t have a few more events to go to I am sure you are actively looking for your NYE outfit. The hardest part about holiday parties is figuring out what to wear expecially if you are trying to avoid wearing dresses at all cost.
