Big Boobs in the City & Link Up On the Edge #73
Here it is…my story about Big Boobs in the City. If you recall, I attended the Forever Fierce Meet Up at Chico’s in New York City back in October and I met some amazing women at this event. One of the women who attended the event was Sandra Smith, the owner of Boostwr, a new line of loungewear for young girls and women who are full chested with small frames. When she described her product to the group, I was so excited because this is something I have been searching for…cute and comfortable loungewear that supports my breasts without the restrictions of a bra. I am that woman who removes…

Where Aztec Meets New York & Link Up On the Edge #72
I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of tribal prints. I’m not exactly sure what it is about the geometric shapes and lines that are traditional in this type of pattern, but it just does not appeal to me. I have wondered before on my blog what exactly it is that draws certain people to certain prints and patterns. Even colors, too. *This poncho was gifted to me by Zaful in exchange for this post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I realized that one particular quality in a print that tends to bother me is complete symmetry. I prefer a…

Plaid Squared with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #71
What is better than plaid for a festive holiday vibe in your outfit? Plaid squared, of course. I have been telling you all that I am currently obsessed with plaid. And hats. So here is yet another plaid outfit with a hat! But this time, I doubled my plaid! *This is a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Buffalo Plaid Coat: Old Navy from last year. You can see my red and black Buffalo plaid coat in this post from last week. And if you missed my plaid tunic and cloche hat outfit from Thanksgiving, you can check that out in this post. And…

All Glammed Up for the Holidays with Zaful & Link Up On the Edge #70
I hope all of my American friends had the most blessed Thanksgiving Day and you are relaxing today, content with full bellies and overflowing with joy due to great times spent with friends and family. Now that Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas and the New Year are staring us directly in the eyes. And what better way to stare back at the most festive of holiday seasons but with all the glam, shine, sparkle, and sass that we can find in our wardrobes? *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. *Dress: Lace Up Bodycon Plus Size Midi Dress c/o Zaful. Unfortunately, this exact dress has sold…

The Perfect Life with Rosegal & Link Up On the Edge #69
The perfect life. We want it all. *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Top: Plus Size Letter Print Drop Shoulder Knitwear ($16.13) c/o Rosegal. What does that mean anyway? Can we have it all? Is the perfect life attainable? In my opinion, I think those terms, have it all and perfect life, are all relative. How does that old Proverb go…it is better to want what you have than to have what you want? Be content with your life and with yourself in the here and now, then you have everything. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Life is a journey, not a destination.”…

Respect for College Athletes & Link Up On the Edge #68
College athletes in sports such as football and basketball often take on celebrity status as their college careers are followed by die hard fans and made public through national broadcasting. While I am a huge supporter of college athletics, sometimes the love of the game and the passion that has brought these players so much success in their chosen sport can get lost in all the media hype. So today, in conjunction with another one of my college football game day outfits, I want to bring the topic of college sports back to reality and let you all in on some little secrets about the life of a student-athlete. *This…

The Velvet Trend with Zan.Style & Link Up On the Edge #67
I know some women my age who grew up in the late 80’s-early 90’s have some mixed emotions about the velvet trend that has taken over the fashion world the past few years. For me, I simply cannot get enough of it. Whether I see it in warm autumn hues, cool jewel tones, or soft pastels on shirts, pants, dresses, or shoes…I pretty much feel the burning urge to have it all. I have quite a few velvet pieces that I picked up last year at the end of the winter season when it was all on clearance, so you can bet my velvet clad bottom that you are going…

Shameless: How I Halloween with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #66
*Warning: This post goes from light-hearted fun to some deep and serious stuff at the end! Just be prepared for the switch. Halloween is here. And I am not really all that festive about it. I am much more of a Thanksgiving and Christmas kind of girl. But with two young boys who seem to have an affinity for all things dark and gruesome these days, I suppose I have no choice but to give in a little bit or be known as the buzzkill mom who doesn’t know how to have fun! So when it was time for me to choose an item from DressLily to add to my…

Karma Is Not Always A Bitch & Link Up On the Edge #65
You have all heard that old saying “Karma is a bitch.” The concept of what goes around comes around. What you put out into the world, you will get back in spades. You reap what you sow. In my own personal experience, this all is quite true. But I ask this: Why does Karma get such a bad rap? She’s really only a bitch if you were a bitch first. And I try really hard not to be a bitch. As a result, Karma seems to be responding quite favorably to me. (Except when it comes to chewing gum. More on that later.) *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts…

Styling Outside of the Box with Gamiss & Link Up On the Edge #64
Have you ever spotted an article of clothing with an obnoxious almost ugly print and thought, “I HAVE to have that”? This is what happened to me when I saw this dress from Gamiss. *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Generally, anything with this color green catches my eye. But this strange scarf-like print in green, yellow, cream, and black sort of left me wondering: Is this dress fabulous or is it horrendous? Staying true to my own positive attitude, I decided that the dress was fabulous and that I must have it. *Dress: Flare Sleeve Plus Size Print Dress ($24.55) c/o Gamiss. Use…
