I've been gone for so long. Sorry I've been on Snapchat.
The Little Book of Big Babes Is Out! The Little Book of Big Babes is a fashion book featuring over 150 plus size individuals from all over the world. The book was put together by Rachelle Abellar in an effort to create space and much needed representation for fashionable fatties. I was completety floored and humbled to say the least, when I was asked to contribute to this project. I am honored to share space with all the amazing people in this book and inspired by every single one of them. My friend Jen from SKINNED KNEES , who is also featured in the book, had the awesome idea of doing our photos together. It was such a fun time! REPRESENTATION IS A POWERFUL THING! If you want to support your local fatties you can do so by getting a copy of the book HERE

STEP INTO FALL WITH MACY'S I spent the better part of Summer praying the stagnant heat and 100 degree days in LA would turn into something resembling Fall. I’ve been longing for that transition so much so that I spent my Summer scouring through Fall trend reports and shopping for cooler days. Summer came and went, thankfully, but it wasn’t until I received the #MacysTrendBoxFW15 that I knew Fall was officially here. The really cool part about it was that this trend box was specially curated by Macy’s stylist for me and my style. Athletic wear has never been so chic and Macy’s is all over the trend this Fall. Macy’s sent me a pair of luxe quilted leather slip on sneakers, because they know me so well, and a black gold mixed media statement necklace. Fall is the perfect season to glam up athletic wear. A statement necklace paired with a light crewneck for glam night look, or a sleek sneaker with a classic silhouette paired with a coat and layers for a casual chic day look. The athletic chic trend offers endless possibilities for comfort and style this Fall. What I Wore: Haskell Necklace at Macy’s Steve Madden Slip On Sneakers at Macy’s Philadelphia Print Works ‘Paris Is Burning’ Crewneck Sweater Charlotte Russe Plus Size Leggings Forever 21 Hat If you’re looking for more ideas on how to style athletic wear, check out this Macy’s style video:

Where'd you get the inspiration for your blog
I wanted to start a blog where I could show positive reaffirming images of stylish plus size women specifically women of color. I'm from LA and while there are a lot of really stylish plus size women and talented indie designers the world rarely sees that part of LA. So that need for representation is what gave birth to this blog.
The "Queen With A Crown" crewneck by @loveherthreads been at the top of my wishlist for quite some time and it will definitely be in heavy rotation this Fall/Winter.
