Hey everyone!

It’s Thursday and I am shooting for ModCloth today! Hopefully you will all see those photos soon. :)

I felt pretty ballsy the other day and wore this corset to work! Crazy right? I felt like Esmerelda. This dress I got while thrifting, it is like a 3X and I loved the color so I got it anyways! It looks like it was meant to be paired with this corset. :)

This corset is so well made. It really holds me in and shows my waist. I did need some help getting it on in the morning, but it was worth it!

The light is perfect this time of day, but my hair is a mess and the backlight realllly shows that. haha oops! ;)

P.S. What do you think of wearing corsets in your outfit? Too sexy?

Happy Monday!

I had a fantastic weekend. I got so much sleep, but I am still tired. This is the outfit I wore Friday. I am not sure what else to say about it, other than I really like the textures. I got this amazing off-shoulder velvet crop top from Miskabelle vintage forever ago, and I finally found the right outfit it belongs in. :) Also, this scarf from Sheila Frank is fantastic, and warm! :)

It is Monday, and it definitely feels like a Monday. But I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! :)

Happy Thursday!

I work from home today so I am cozy and comfy in pjs as we speak! Which is awesome.

But anyways, I really like this skirt it is so fun to move in. I also, really like how blown out the background is, it makes me stand out a lot on my own. Which is really interesting looking.

I hope you dig it!

P.S. Kate Winslet says talks a bit about body image here. I really love her, always have, always will. Thoughts?

Happy Monday!!

I had suchhhh an amazing weekend, I really didn’t want it to end. I got to thrift with this lovely lady, I got to just relax and get ready for the week! 

Yes, this is a corset. Very different than my typical outfit post, but I reallllly love corsets and, well, structure in general. I especially love this corset because its reversible! There is this awesome caramel color, but on the other side is an olive tone! I have worn this out a few times, once under a super sheer top, and another with a shirt underneath! :D Super fun, and saucy!

The only problem I had with it was that the boning in the chest was a bit too big for my bust, I am a very small B cup so yea, it happens. ;) And still really like this piece and wear it often.

Corset: c/o Curvilicious

How do you feel about wearing underwear visibly?

P.S. This girl really inspired me to wear a corset in an outfit, she does it with bras all the time. ;}

Super cool feature in BBC News posted yesterday! I had a phone interview with Kate Dailey from BBC, she was super sweet, and I was super nervous. When I am really passionate about things I tend to speak really quickly and forget to breathe (I am working on it). ;) 

Some of the things I touched on over the phone was: The community on Tumblr is what makes Tumblr the best blogging site around. I started a Tumblr blog for that reason. My blog has transformed so much since I started it, and it has been such an adventure. My followers have been so good to me. I do not even know how to thank you all. I LOVE YOU, that might be a decent start. :}

I hope Tumblr continues to be a positive place for girls of all shapes, sizes, skin colors, and anything else you can think of.

How do we continue to make Tumblr this great of a community? It is up to you. Everything you say can have an affect on the people who read it. Try to treat others the way you would like to be treated in this environment. I know I sound like a 1st grade teacher when I say that… But I think it is important, I see younger and younger people signing on to Tumblr every day and what you say is the influence they have! We are society.

Ok, that just got real. lol Anyways, I am really grateful for you all. <3

And these are just my thoughts, everyone is entitled to their own opinion! :) What are your thoughts?

Hey everyone!

This week has been amazing.

  • I had a holiday party with some of my friends last night. 
  • Kevin and I are having our own little Christmas celebration tonight (I will be in Michigan over the weekend with family).
  • Work has been surprisingly slow!
  • ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS

I hope you all have some awesome plans during the holiday season, try to stay away from your iphones and computers while in the presence of family. :}

Anyways, it is only Wednesday, but I am really starting to get into the mood of the holidays! :) 

This outfit has a lot of my favorite things in it. A floral sheer shirt (vintage), an awesome yellow cardigan (modcloth) and a beautiful skirt (modcloth) that moves very nicely. Everthing else is vintage/old ModCloth. :}

I feel awesome in this look! I hope you guys like it! <3

Hey everyone!

I got some awesome inspiring comments from my last blog post, and it really made me think!

The comment that stuck the most to me was from my dear Cydneyrai! Figured I would give her a shout out, she told me to dare to be different and wear something I own and love but never wear! So this outfit is dedicated to her. ;) lol

I just recently added this skirt and shirt into my closet from various thrift stores! I adore them both and they just so happen to look phenomenal together.  This outfit really made me feel like I stepped out of a disco movie or something, all I needed was white platforms! ;)

But anyways, sometimes I need style advice from my followers! I love you alllll! <3

P.S. Did I mention it’s snowing here (as you probably noticed in the pics)!!! AHHHHH

Hey everyone!

This is one of the most eclectic outfits I have ever put together. But I cannot help but to love it. Colors, colors, colors, have been on my mind! Which is weird, its so much easier for me to wear black. But I guess its just really fun dressing up at work (I have an awesome job).

Anyways, I hope you all are finding great things to be thankful for. :) I am so thankful for this year so far. I graduated college, got a puppy, and was in Seventeen Magazine! Crazy! ;) But I am thankful for all of you reading this, I would not be anywhere without you people! I LOVE YOU! <333

Top, Cardigan, Necklace, Skirt, Booties ALL ModCloth.com!

See you Friday! <3

What are you thankful for??

Hey everyone!

This is my crazy outfit for today. Pink and red? OH YEA. I was inspired by SJP.

I am always on the search for the perfect skinny jean, I have yet to find it. These were a close contender (I got them in purple too) however they are too loose. I have the worst time figuring out sizing, I think I am a 16 in pants but every companies sizing is different… Maybe when I wash them they will get tighter? 

Ugh.

Anyways! It’s Monday, and I am done with work and off to organize my apartment. You might be thinking to yourselves “hmm Mandy, you have been in your apartment for like a month, and your still organizing?!?” Sadly, yes. I have a lot of stuff (read: clothes), and figuring out where to put it all is kind of difficult. But it should be done soon, then I will share pictures. :}

This weekend was great, but too short! Kevin and I made a coffee table and caught up on some reading! Sweeeet huh?! :P

How was your weekend?

Most of these have been in my inbox for a longggg time. I do not like to overload my blog in these posts so I will be doing this post with several of the messages! :)

Hey anons, Keep in mind: I have a commenting system on my blog now! I will respond to them especially when you ask a question! :) So that is probably a quicker and more efficient way to get an answer from me! ;)

Do you have to be tall to be a curvy print model? I’m 5’5”, 140 lbs. I keep wondering if it’s worth a try…

It depends on the client, many people will say that you must be 5’9 to get anywhere as a model (which is pretty much true for mainstream models), but that doesn’t mean there is no market out there! Give it a try, what do you have to lose??

Not A Question, just a statement. Your gorgeous. <3 i can’t wait to try out your clothing line soon! Your a very inspiring person for us plus-sized girls!

Thank you so much for the love anon! I do wish making this line was easier than it is, it’s hard when you work full time! :{ But its coming along.

I saw you in Seventeen Magazine. I cried.

This made me lol. I hope you were crying tears of joy?!

Hey Mandy! I love your style! Where do you get your clothes?? -Shelby

I get my clothes from all over, majority though is ModCloth.com and thrift stores. ;) If you see my outfit posts, I typically tell you where I got the items I am wearing! :D

Hey, my name’sMaria! I like your style that I saw on 17 magazine, and also on your website. It’s sort of relevant to mine, but I’m also a curvy girl, so i was wondering were can i find clothes that make me look slimmer but still chic? bc i look at tjmaxx, marshalls, forever21, and i can only find a few things that does not show my stomach as much (mostly like floaty tops) Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Maria! If you are really self conscious of wearing items that show your stomach, then don’t be afraid to size up in shirts! Make sure you don’t go too large, unless you are looking for a more oversized look. But this is something I typically do, I do not like items that are super tight on my body for comfort reasons! I hope this helps!

hi mandy I’m Latina I love your dress, you are very inspiring, I love your positive attitude and your safety and hope to continue this blog if I may copy some of your outfitsthanks for being so you want = D. pardon if this badly edited because I did it in the translator.

This anon message just makes me really happy. :}

Hey! So, I saw you in 17 magazine and fell in love with you! I absolutely adore the shoes, and dress your wearing in the one photo, but I can’t find them for the life of me!! I was wondering if you could let me know where you got them? 

I got these shoes from ModCloth.com! However, they are out of stock! The designer name is Jeffrey Campbell, he is definitely one of my favorite (affordable) shoe designers! :)

Well, that’s all folks! I hope the anon’s who posted these read them and are content. I just cleaned my whole apartment, and need to rest. <3 See you tomorrow!

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!

What I wore at the lake this weekend!

I was trying to dress comfy but also have some fun with it. I LOVE this shirt so much, it is so soft and delicate with cute little hearts all over. Also this scarf and bralette was so fun to pair with it for a little added drama.

Top, Bralette (old), Flats (old),Scarf (old), Lipstick: all from ModCloth.com! Bracelets old from Target. (click through for the full sized image!)

This weekend was so fun and relaxing, I never wanted to leave. But I got to come back to my apartment which I am LOVING but still have SO MUCH TO DO. Blah, I hate being behind in things. If you follow me on twitter/instagram you saw lots of pictures of my travels! :)
