I have the exact same dress from Forever 21 and I only wish I could wear it with confidence like she does!
This chick! I know it’s Sunday but she’s my #WCW. Her body is almost exactly the way I want mine to be.
Wherever she is….I need to visit! I love her style!
As usual, you can click on these lovely ladies names to go to their Instagram
You all know that I’m a plus size girl and a lover of fashion. Well my birthday is coming up and though I don’t plan on doing much I still have to look great which means…SHOPPING! These are my favorite plus size boutiques right now!
Love these looks. Affordable prices! And the staff get back to you quickly!
Another great boutique. Affordable and good quality clothing! And they have a couple of new spring looks!
Loving these urban looks! Color combos that you can’t find often in plus sizes. Their prices are a little higher, but they are worth it!
Check these places out!
These statements are all MY OWN opinion. I was not asked to say them or to mention these businesses. If you want to check out one of the boutiques just click the name!
I LOVE this top! I don’t know if I have enough butt to make it work like she did though LOL
Nadia Aboulhosn is in my top for fave models. And I love this!
Lounge wear with a touch of sophistication!
I’m digging the whole high waist trend. And this really works!
I don’t care for the makeup…but I love the look!

Hey ya’ll!!
I was having one of those moments this morning. I couldn’t get anything to look right. My hair looked a mess, I changed my outfit several times, and I didn’t feel like putting on any makeup. Just all around feeling kind of blah!!! But the day most go on because I had 30 minutes to get to work. When I got to work I sat down for a few minutes with my green tea a thumbed through a magazine. Needless to say I’m having a less the perfect morning and got a little annoyed by all of the fakeness. Excuse my language but…who do these bitches think they are fooling!??
The media: magazines, the internet television, all of it is LIES lol Not to say that I don’t enjoy them but they give us unrealistic views of what we should look like. Now the paparazzi is a different story lol they give it to you unedited. And because of the pap I know that these celebrities don’t look nearly as perfect as the media tries to make them!
Forget about Instagram filters! I’m talking about the real deal. Professional photoshoppers!!! aka EVIL lol! But seriously come on! We can’t possibly wonder why so many of our young people refuse to eat or will barf as soon as they have a good sized meal! It’s because they wanna look like what they see in the magazines!
Ok…I’m sorry for yelling : )
Anyway *woooosaaah* after having a moment I googled (and I am a google queen by the way lol master looker uper) some photoshopped pics and ran across these that had descriptions of what have been changed. Some of the changes you probably would not have even noticed! And some are ridiculous! I think one of them has totally different legs and Madonna looks about 2 years younger than the crypt keeper! LOL

It is impossible to achieve the “perfectness” portrayed in the media. So we shouldn’t even try. In my opinion…our flaws and imperfections are what make us beautiful. I damn sure don’t wanna what makes me different to be edited away! #shouldershrug

Alright ya’ll!
It’s getting hot and it’s time to start heading to the beach. I know other sexy plus sizers like me have a hard time staying sexy when all we can find is frumpy swimwear. Like seriously, do retailers think that all plus size people are old blimp sized women?? Anyway I’m always on the look out for what’s hot and I’ve found some HAWT options. Halters and high waist briefs are in!! Check em out!
1. Rue 107
This site is great for the plus size girls like myself who are “thick”…meaning you have more mass and curves but not many lumps (for lack of a better term). They have a lot of form fitting clothes and body cons. Their swimwear collection is fab! The prices run between $20-$100 per piece
2. Monif C Swimwear
This site is hot. I follow this lovely lady on Instagram and she has made her own business. Her pieces can be on the pricier side but seem to be worth it. Prices range in the $50s range for 2 pieces (per piece) and in the higher $100s for one pieces
3. Forever 21
Last but not least, there’s Forever 21. They, not to long ago joined the plus size realm! And let me tell you…CUTENESS. I’ so excited to get my swimsuit! And the prices are MUCH easier to deal with! Prices range from $24-$27 for the whole 2 piece!

Foxy, Fat, and FABULOUS!
