My life is far calmer with me doing my writing only at certain short periods of time during the week, but it’s like next thing I know a month has gone by and I haven’t written about a super cool experience or a trip, or new things I bought or whathaveyou! So anyway, I went…
Jennifer Aniston in Dior at the UK premiere of the movie, We’re The Millers. I think many of us saw Jennifer Aniston earlier this month in this Dior frock, and I think many of us thought the same thing – pretty woman, pretty dress, but the combination just seemed wrong somehow.

I have a question for you regarding denim jean jackets. I have a sleeveless dress that I would like to pair it with a denim jean jacket on top. As far as fit, do I buy a one that cannot be buttoned? Or do I size up and get the bigger size? I am petite…

Not all shapewear is created equal and in the past decade some new brands and styles have come on the horizon that are pretty darn fantastic. A few of my…
The most popular question I receive is how to be stylish and look great when you don’t have a lot of money. I don’t believe that money equals style. Think of style like a college education. Jane gets a full scholarship to State U, Sara’s parents fund her entire four years at the same college,…
I’m about start a job as summer associate in a law firm, and I’m young (24) and plus sized. I don’t really know where or how to find work clothes that are flattering, don’t age me in an unwanted way, and yet appropriate for the work place. I own two suits; both make me look…
