1.) Find Lingerie that makes You Feel Beautiful The most exciting part of this shoot for me was ordering my Lingerie! I chose to customize a three piece set from Impish Lee, a woman owned start-up based in Brooklyn. I was able to go online and customize the lace for my skin tone, the …

One of my recent guilty pleasures is this dating show where the participants meet, naked, on an island, and try to find love (does any of you watch Dating Naked on VH1?). Anyway, in one episode, a female contestant seemed to be hitching her self esteem to the compliments of the naked meathead with whom she …
Have you ever been at a party where everyone was in the zone, dancing the night away and then a neighbor knocks on the door with a noise complaint and kills the whole vibe? Sharing the intimate details of how I’m learning to love myself at any size isn’t an easy thing to do. But …

Remember when I started this blog and I was anonymous? So many of you knew every detail of my life and didn’t know what I looked like. I even had a twitter troll accuse me of not really being plus size because I didn’t show photos. A few bloggers had to vouch for me by …

“Just get me from the boobs up,” I instructed as I posed for a photo in the sand. I was spending my day by the water with Meaghan, from LittleLimeDress, Beck, from Manfattan and a few bottles of Teqava (the sparkling tequila cocktail we served at the #NYCurvyCloset Sale). Shooting from the boobs up is my go-to …

“I really admire your confidence…” “You are so confident girl, yassss!” “Your confidence is really inspiring….” These are all kind words. Words that some of you have written to me in emails and tweets, words that have kept me going on my “bad days”… most of the time when someone comments on my confidence, its …

There’s a quote I see all the time that says “The best accessory a girl can own is confidence” *eye roll* Confidence is not something I’ve ever owned… at best I rent it like high-end jewels for the Oscars. I’ve had people mention my confidence as something they admire about me. Every time I hear …
