Blonde in the District

Birds of a feather flock together…..and us birds flock to LOFT. The past few months I have been seriously loving on LOFT for their celebration of body diversity. In February, the brand launched their Plus line, which I had been waiting years for! As a long-time customer of LOFT, I always shopped the brand but I couldn’t always wear certain items. Now, with the launch of the Plus line, I am able to shop everything and anything at LOFT, and let me tell you- it feels amazing. Wi

Well friends, its the start of a new week! While this week is going to be filled with amazing things like a quick trip to NYC and a Kanye inspired day party and art show on Saturday, I still have a bit of the the Monday blues, literally speaking with my new blue dress from UK brand, Yours Clothing. I think it can be agreed that Mondays are the hardest day out of the week. Its back to the grind and signifies we have 5 more days until weekend freedom again. Sigh. While we mostl

Last Friday I had the pleasure of working with ELOQUII to unveil their permanent location in Pentagon City Mall. The retailer opened the first ever pop-up store in Pentagon City in March, and with its success of outfitting women in the DC area with in-store plus options, was able to make the pop-up permanent, but in a new space. I visited the brand new store on its first day open to unveil it to the Instagram community first hand, live on the ELOQUII account. It was an honor

Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Swimsuits Direct, an online store dedicated to all things swimwear. They carry swimwear for women, men, and children, and have a great variety of brands and styles. My partnership with the brand gave me the opportunity to try out two of their latest swimsuits, both by the Raisins Curve brand. This also gave me the opportunity to spread some body confidence by photographing in swimsuits for my blog. Other than jeans, swimsuits are t

This picture right here ^, this is currently me celebrating the reopening of the permanent ELOQUII store here in the DC area in Pentagon City Mall. Its so crazy for me to think I have only been an ELOQUII customer less than a year, but my relationship to the brand goes way deep. ELOQUII has changed- actually, enhanced is a better word- enhanced my personal style. It has shown me that I can break out of my comfort zone and try new things. It has re-introduced me to color and p

I can't say this enough- I LOVE ELOQUII. Seriously. I will sing it from the rooftops for all to hear- and I'm not even a singer. While I only recently became an avid ELOQUII customer, I am officially hooked on this brand. So, today's FAB Friday is my love note to ELOQUII, plus I'm throwing in some details of the Fashion for Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation event I'm hosting with ELOQUII on April 6. You can see my other ELOQUII posts here and here. After knowing the brand (can

As you may have seen on my Instagram stories, last night I was involved in what can be perceived by some as a ‘controversial’ news segment. I was invited to participate in a broadcast interview to speak candidly about being a plus size woman- specifically my experience, struggles, and acceptance. As a body positive blogger, my goal is to be relatable to every follower and reader. One, because I value each and every one of you, and two, because body issues and self-acceptance
