Pretty in Pink

Whenever I have a day off I try to get dolled up and run a few errands. I've been dying to wear my Pink Daisy Crochet Bed Jacket from Torrid, but never knew what to pair it with. I opted for a black camisole, black sheer side panel leggings, nude Mia lace-up gladiators, and Snob lips (my favorite MAC lipstick ever). Friday, I bought a Birkin-esque bag from Francesca's Collection. It's so ironic because I had this purse two years ago and repurchased it. It's the perfect size and has great interior organization. I also purchased two pairs of heels from Nine West during their Family and Friends sale, where I scored 20% off. Two pairs of heels for $126. I was so shocked they had a size 12 in both of my selections. One will be saved for my 24th birthday, which is in 21 days!

Pride In The Wide

Treat your feet to stylish shoes and boots for women including Many full-figured women need larger shoe sizes, wider widths, and sometimes larger calves also require plus-size boots. Wide Fitting has a variety of shoes and boots in larger sizes and a variety of widths in styles from classic to trendy. I notice that most European shoe companies have a wider (no pun intended) selection of wide sizes, ranging from E to EEE. The Viva La Diva wedge bootie are perfect style in comfort. Take your pick from standard ‘D’ width or even a roomier E or EEE Wide fitting. You can choose from chic black or sophisticated stone. You can wear these with jeans, skirts, and everything in between for a cute ensemble wherever you go. Plus, kudos to the wedge heels, these babies will give you the added height needed as well elongating your legs at the same time.

A Fat Girl's Guide to Swimsuit Shopping

Finding that perfect swimsuit for the summer sits in the back of my head all winter. The most important thing to keep in mind when purchasing your suit is fit! Make the fit of the swimsuit your first priority and you will have better success at feeling confident at this summer's pool party or Miami vacay. It's important to know what flatters your body. Look for a suit that offers you great fit, coverage, comfort and style. For a plus sized woman, many new cuts on the market are designed to give you just that. The selection of plus size suits is growing, and you don’t have to settle for something that looks like a tent.

Marisota has a plethora of swimwear selections to help you feel like the model you are. Show off your curves and feel confident when doing so! One of my favorite fatshion bloggers, Gabi, rocked this chevaron bikini bottom and top while on her trip in Vegas (read her post Fatkini 2021 here). The high-waisted style hides the tummy and also has a pin-up retro look.

Small details like ruching create a slimming silhouette and hides our love handles. This silhoutte bandeau swimsuit in violet is perfect. The detachable straps make this suit ideal for sunbathing or to amp up the sexy factor.

I love a one-shoulder feature and this Panache Sophia bandeau swimsuit is amazing. This glamorous one-shoulder swimsuit has a detachable strap and front knot detail and gathering for a great shape. Keeping the theme of support and shame in mind, this suit also has lined cups and wings give anchorage and support around the body.
