We all know I am a fan of Universal Standard, a brand that has democratized fashion by offering cool style from quality materials in sizes 00-40. Universal Standard has partnered with brands such as J. Crew and Rodarte to push them to extend their size range but now they’ve partnered with a brand that makes…
As I shared on Instagram, new year same me. I have no goals to be a different person in 2020, but continue good habits I’ve already adopted and each day look for a way to be a bit better than the day prior. I am continuing to go to the gym almost every weekday morning. …
When I was planning our New Year’s Eve getaway to Lake Anna, I knew the dress code would be loungewear. We planned on making all meals at the house, spending a lot of time reading, playing board games, napping, cooking, and snuggling as families on the couches watching movies and watching the ball drop at…

These are all casual looks as my nicer ensembles got captured and shared as true outfit posts. What I wear on weekends, early mornings, when I’m sick, and when…
Yesterday I shared a post-workout selfie on Instagram Stories. I was wearing new Athleta leggings that I looove and with it, a cropped top also from Athleta (sold out). One that doesn’t cover my belly, one that rides up on occasion. And I love it too. I felt fierce. I was so sick all week…
A year ago, I was in the worst shape of my life. At 5’3” I was a bit over 200 lbs. I had back pain, knee pain, and occasionally got migraines. My allergies were terrible, I was always tired and felt as though I was living life in a fog. I’ve never been athletic, but…
