Western Beauty
I love the idea of chic cowgirl style. There is something so beautiful about worn in denim and weathered leather. It’s like the garment has gone through an ordeal but remains true and gorgeous. There is no denying the beauty of certain western pieces.
I was inspired to do a denim on denim look after seeing the Robert Geller menswear collection from last fall. In order to achieve the look,...
Birthday Glam and Giveaway Results
Hi everyone! I wanted to share the outfit I wore on my birthday when I went out for drinks, dancing, and a fabulous show. Jumpsuits are fun but you have to bring a little diva attitude. I think they’re a sexy alternative to a bodycon dress. You get the form-fitting nature of bodycon, the comfort of trousers, and the fact that you will stand out! I paired mine with my corset belt (same kind...

Miu Miu and New Blazer
I am in love with this blazer from Evans so much. It’s sleek, stylish, and very comfortable. I love the slightly strong shoulders and the satin. The fit is great but I may get it tailored so that it’s even more perfect. I paired it with a flowy top and my Helmut Lang heels.
Also new is this Miu Miu bow bag I received as an early birthday present from my boyfriend. OMG it is so...

Best of Fatshionable--#1 City Chic
My top fashion obsession of the past year is Australian retailer City Chic! This is the final post in my three-part series. I know I have raved about City Chic to readers and on twitter so I thought it would be fun to show more than one outfit. I absolutely LOVE everything I have from City Chic. The clothing is fun, flirty, and fantastic quality. I definitely recommend this retailer.
I have...
Best of Fatshionable--#2 Agent Provocateur
I think intimate wear plays a huge role in feeling fabulous, at least for me. I love wearing beautiful things and for that, Agent Provocateur is like a candy store. I think AP is an example of a retailer where some plus sizes can make it work. The first time I entered a boutique a few years ago and fell in love with their high quality lingerie and wonderful customer service.
I made many...
Best of Fatshionable--#3 Tough/Delicate
This is the first installment (of three posts) for my favorite things. In a way, it’s a best of 2009 but it’s also a list of my top three current fashion obsessions. I wanted to keep it fun by showing at least one new item in each post—I didn’t want to just link back to old posts. At the end of this series of posts, I will be having a giveaway! So check back.
One style I...

Shoegasms!
Yesterday on twitter I asked whether people wanted to see an outfit post or shoe post today. More people said shoes, so here it is! These are the latest additions to my shoe wardrobe.
First, the Agent Provocateur “Katie” heels in black patent. These were a “pre-xmas” gift. Let me quickly say how much I love when a man knows your taste or pays attention to what...
Rodarte Look
Rodarte and Target collaborated for a collection that looks gorgeous but doesn’t come in many sizes, so I figured I would put together an outfit to show you can create a similar look using different pieces. I decided to do the tulle skirt+denim jacket look. I feel like a cowgirl ballerina!
Also, check out my Jeffrey Campbell “Ann” boots. These were professionally altered to...
High-Waisted Heaven
I love these high-waisted trousers. I’m sure many of you have heard that only skinny women can rock this style. Not only do I disregard this “rule” as a size 16/18 but I choose to wear high-waisted, tapered, harem-esque pants. In order to balance this look out, I added a simple top with just a little volume in the sleeves. This style of trousers might tend to make you look...
Fatshionable Video Update
I am a bit unsure what role videos can play in the blog, but having received some requests, I made this intro video. I was nervous, lol. Tell me what you think. Colors look a bit dull, but this was my first attempt! If you have ideas for videos, feel free to comment here. Alternatively, feel free to use this post for general requests. Thanks for visiting my blog!

Bodycon Dress and Bows
The other day I asked my twitter friends about their dream plus size range. Mine would definitely be a Hervé Léger range because I love bandage dresses. I was so happy to receive this dress dress from Jen’s Fashion Plus! The fit is sexy and the style is on point. I also received an adorable pair of sparkly bow earrings from Liz at E-llustrious Creations. Both of these gorgeous pieces are...
Caged Up
I love this cage dress—the sheerness of the skirt, the structure of the cage, and the beautiful lines. I think that cage dresses and other garments that can be considered intimate-wear-as-outerwear make a thoughtful statement in addition to being pretty. The form of the dress becomes the focal point. Xtina has a great post on this too!
This is definitely a head turning dress and a great way...
Beautiful skin: my routine
I should start by saying that my skin is neither oily nor dry, but somewhere in the middle. I don’t purport to say that these products will work for everyone, but they have worked for me. I think that, essentially, good skincare amounts to cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and protecting.
Skincare can be expensive. But you will have your skin longer than any pair of shoes, so remember...
Sequins & Stripes
I had to have a striped long sleeve top after seeing many fashionable women photographed by The Sartorialist in something very similar. I think that mixing stripes and sequins achieves a fun, whimsical look. I have been ignoring this sequin jacket so I was happy to be able to wear it out today! Also pictured are my fab new denim leggings. I love a good dark rinse—a wardrobe essential in my...

Halloween Edition!
I think of October as a spooky month. Some of my favorite memories are of me trick-or-treating through my neighborhood on Halloween. There is something so electric about the air on that night. I love this time of year. I think this holiday is fun from a fashion perspective in that people feel more adventurous with what they can wear on this day. I love seeing people dress up!
This year, I might...
A Little Frost
Coming up I have outfit posts about “Haunted Fatshion” which are going to be lots of fun! But for now, I wanted to share these darling pieces of jewelry from Lulu Frost. I love the incorporation of ribbon and use of color. Princess inspired indeed! There is a sale on Gilt right now, so if you love them, head over soon!
A loved one saw me admiring the peach heart earrings (my...
Princess
As a child, when I saw Sara Crewe in the film “A Little Princess,” I knew I had found a style icon. The story was magical and the girl’s wardrobe was mostly exquisite. As a young girl living in a world quite different from the one in which I live now, I was moved by Sara saying, “I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in...
Manolo Blahnik
Ever since I saw Carrie gush over the urban legend Manolo maryjanes, I knew someday I would have to have a pair. These aren’t the exact style from SATC, since these have a higher strap, but they are still so so cute. The leather is delicate and gorgeous. I don’t think the color comes out the same on all browsers, but they are a soft blush pink. I must say, these feel more Charlotte...
Fall Favorite: Bows in Hair
This will be my first installment of fall favorites! I will be showing my favorite colors, textures, and pieces for fall. I was inspired to do this by Xtina’s latest post on fall inspiration. Love Xtina!
I got a fantastic new headband this week. It’s large and I got a few stares when I wore it out today, but it’s so so cute, I can’t help but love it. I was drawn to this...
