    Distressed Denim

    Lately, I've had an obsession with distressed anything which now includes this jacket from Shop Love Yourz.  Okay, I have like a billion denim jackets but adding one more to my collection won't hurt anyone except my closet- I seriously can't fit anything in it anymore.  What makes this denim jacket special is the distressed details all over it. I usually wear a size 1X but I found that the 2X fit better not because it runs small- I wanted it to fit me a little over-sized. One of my favorite combinations is mixing denims or what you may know as the 'Canadian Tuxedo'.  The key to mixing denim is by…

    Denim & Mesh

    I love oversized clothes, especially jackets. While they are super comfy, they are not the most flattering. There are ways to rock an oversized jacket without looking like a big balloon. It's all about balancing proportions.  Style Tip: The bigger the top/jacket the more fitted the rest of your outfit should be. Pair your oversized jacket with a fitted top and skinny jeans or leggings for a great play on proportions. I went with a monochromatic look underneath my big jacket. Black is slimming so, I thought it would be a great match for an oversized jacket. A pair fitted joggers and a sheer mesh top did the trick- casual and…

    From Summer to Fall

    As you might noticed pretty much all the stores have their fall collections out. You're starting to see jackets, a lot of darken tones, and boots.  I know what you're thinking- it's still hot out! I thought it would be perfect to share my thoughts on how to start to transition to fall when it still feels like summer. I put together 2 looks from Curvy Sense to inspire your pre-fall wardrobe. I'm obsessed with this skirt! First, I love that it makes my butt look bigger. I'm so on-board with anything that makes my butt bigger: cheeseburgers, pizza, jeans, ect. It's sometimes hard to find a maxi skirt with volume…

    Good Vibes

    Lately, I've been wearing a lot of dresses. Well, can you blame me it's been like 90 degrees almost every day in LA. Oh, how I can't wait for fall. I had to give my dresses a rest and put on something more casual like a tee and jeans. Style tip: Spice up a tee and jean combo with some pumps and an edgy jacket. Throw the jacket over your shoulders for that stylish blogger inside you. I haven't worn a graphic tee in such a long time. Why not start wearing one with a good message like, this "Good Vibes" tank from Authentic Glam. I love that it's cropped. The sides of…
