Twirling in to a new season with Anthropologie (and a link-up!)

October 22, 2019

Items in this post were provided to me by Anthropologie (one of my favorite brands!) to promote their new Plus Size Collection. I was honored to participate, and share this more inclusive size expansion! Affiliate links may be included, which may provide me with a small commission, should a link be clicked, or if items are purchased through it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Anthropologie Plus Size Fashion Review Hello, loves, and happy Tuesday!
I didn’t want to start another post by saying how long it’s been since my last entry, or how busy I’ve been, because we’re ALL busy. Just know that I miss coming on here and sharing my favorite things with you all! A few lovely ladies asked if I wanted to join them in sharing how we all style midi-length skirts and dresses, and the answer was a resounding yes! I find the cut so flattering, and it’s pretty much my go-to.

I paired the embroidered midi dress with the softest faux suede moto jacket, a vibrant clutch, and neutral knotted mules. I honestly couldn’t say which is my favorite piece from this look, but I think I will probably get the most use out of the moto jacket and the mules. Both can be paired with more complicated pieces, or even worn with other solid basics for a chic, more understated look. After you check out these gorgeous pics taken by Rachel Kingsley (@rachel_liv) at the Fountain of the Great Lakes in downtown Chicago, scroll down to check out the other midi-inspired posts as well!

Poolside Glam

August 24, 2016

Poolside Glam - Plus Size Swimwear Some days you want to show up to the pool and dive right in, and others you want to just lounge next to it and soak up those rays! It’s still entirely too warm to head to Palm Springs, so I sometimes like to play pretend like I’m hanging out at some luxe hotel on the weekend, complete with my best girl friends and cocktails. We always bring poolside glam in spades with the cute cut-out suits, breezy cover-ups and completely impractical accessories.
I wanted to share a couple of my favorite poolside cocktails, the perfect refreshing boozy concoctions for getting your buzz on…

The Dark & Stormy
2 oz. dark rum (I love Kraken spiced rum)
4 oz. ginger beer
Mix over ice.

The Blue Wave
2 oz. Grey Goose or Belvedere vodka
1/2 oz. blue curacao
4 oz. lemonade
Shake them all up, pour in to an ice-filled glass and garnish with a cherry and an orange slice.

The Pineapple Breeze
1 1/2 oz. tequila (I like Patron)
2 oz. pineapple juice
1 oz. lemon juice
1/4 oz. grenadine
Combine, shake, serve over ice. Garnish with a pineapple chunk and cherry.

The Bloody Mary
So classic, ideal for the “morning after” and it even comes with something to nibble on 😉
1 1/2 oz. Grey Goose or Belvedere vodka
4 oz. tomato juice
1/4 oz. lemon juice
a couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce
3-4 dashes Tabasco
2 dashes of celery salt (regular salt will work just fine)
a pinch of pepper
Mix everything together in a shaker then strain into an ice-filled glass. Here comes the fun part.. Garnish with olives, a celery stalk, a lemon or lime wedge, fresh herbs, spicy green beans, pickled okra, or whatever other savory thing you can find.
