Happy Tuesday!
I know I just wore this jacket last week, I am just so in love with the cut and everything about it. But for this outfit I made it a bit more of a feminine look compared to last weeks. This dress is one of my favorite vintage pieces, because it fits like a dream and I love the skirt of it so much.

Hey everyone!
I have been feeling pretty ballsy in what I wear this week (if you couldn’t tell). This outfit reminds me of high school. I was obsessed with black/white/red combinations, during my “punk” phase. Good times.
Anyways I almost wore this exact outfit a little over a year ago here, but I added the knee high socks, the skirt underneath, and the crazy scarf. I really like how put-together I look here. This dress has been getting shorter and shorter, so I put a black skirt under it for some extra length. :) I also cannot seem to get enough of this scarf by Sheila Frank.

What do you think of this color combo?
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! :)

Hey friends!
It has been a productive week in my life which is awesome. I have decided that I am not going to be a blogger who has a crap ton of ads, or posts about random things that have no meaning for me. I am going to stick to brands who I believe in and hopefully work with more of them. :)
I have been e-mailing the crap out of people to collaborate with so that’s fun. I was also thinking about taking some serious sewing classes. I know a decent amount about sewing, but I want to learn more about structure and grading.

How has your week been so far??
I just wanted to say that I am working on changing my blog name. I started this blog to work my way into the modeling industry (other than Pittsburgh’s). And, well that didn’t really work. So, I feel a bit like a poser calling myself this. It made sense when I started, but now I only model for ModCloth.com.
Do you know why I decided to (kinda) give up pursuing modeling? I am WAY too opinionated. I want to tell companies what they are doing wrong, and what they should be carrying instead of the lame items they have at that moment. If you want to pursue modeling, one of the first things they tell you is to keep your mouth shut.
Well behaved women rarely make history right? I kind of live by that quote…
I am not saying the modeling world is bad, I still really enjoy expressing myself through modeling, but not really for big companies (unless they find me magically). I just quit my Pittsburgh agency. I think the world might have more for me than modeling. Well, I guess we shall see. Come with me will you?
Happy Tuesday!
I hope you are all having fantastic weeks so far.
Lately I have been doing a lot of soul searching, and I feel the urge to design more and more. Unfortunately, I will probably not be able to afford to sell anything for a while. I know I suck, I got you all excited about my line/dress and now it isn’t going to happen (for now). Unfortunately, I am not the best seamstress and a real seamstress costed more than I could afford so I am kind of in an awkward stage. For now, I am going to keep designing and continue sewing and show you guys what I come up with. :)
But this outfit I created nothing, except I did cut my own bangs… ;) That’s something right!?

P.S. When I was young girl I shopped at maurices a lot. They always had jeans that fit me well, and they had cool affordable stuff. I am not sure if you have heard of maurices, seeing how they were in my small town in Michigan, but they have this awesome modeling contest going on! Watch these videos of previous winners, here and here. Submit yourself here. You do not have to be a experienced model to enter, so good luck lovelies! :)
Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I had a really good time, slept in really late both Saturday and Sunday, had avocado on toast for breakfast, got my car fixed (ugh), saw Mission Impossible (AWESOME!), went on a sushi date with my love, and a few other things. :)
But now it is Monday, and I am back to a schedule. It surprisingly feels good to be. :} I am sipping coffee and writing a to-do list as we speak!
This outfit isn’t too exciting, other than most of it is thrifted! My skirt got super wrinkly when I was sitting so it looks kinda bad… :/ However, the brown and black bracelet is my new favorite thing. <3

Have a great week everyone!
P.S. This is my favorite dress ModCloth is yet to carry in Plus sizes!! I am modeling it too! Keep in mind its short on me because I am 5’11! <3
Hey everyone!
It is Wednesday which is awesome (two more days til the weekend). Apparently this week all I care about is the weekend. It’s just one of those weeks!
Anyways black seems to be my go-to lately. I think its just really easy to coordinate, and I really like it with my new hair! :D This dress is so cozy and fun at the same time, but I totally look like I am in jail. lol Oh well.
This scarf was a gift from my BFF designer Sheila Frank (I also modeled her swimwear). I really like how light this scarf is, and it adds a little amount of edge that I am really into. :)

This dress makes me want to spin, and this color combo makes me smile. I am a crazy obsessor over bold colors, but also really love black, kinda weird right? Well, my style is constantly changing and I think this really shows on my blog. ;)
I hope you dig this outfit, it has all of my favorite colors in it. I am already begging for the weekend. BLAH, but I have been dressing up almost every day for the past two weeks for work! Wahoooo! I hope you guys are enjoying the crazy amounts of outfits here on the blog! :P

P.S. Really loved reading this interview with Tim Gunn yesterday! I hope he starts a line, it would be epic. What do you think about it??
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.

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. ;}
ITS ALMOST FRIDAY! :D Yayyyy! This was my first week at work after the holidays and I have been so out of it! Getting back into the groove of it is tough, but I am glad to be back at work and on a good schedule with my blog. :)
This outfit is pretty minimalist for me, but I really love it. I am really tall (5’11”) so most skirts and dresses are too short for me! However, I have learned some really cool alternatives for this problem. For instance, I saw this skirt in H&M and knew I had to have it. I tried it on and it was so short my butt was practically hanging out of it! lol Bought it anyways.
When I finally decided to rock it, I realized it would be perfect with this longer sheer dress I had! So, I put it over and it was such a lovely combo (pics here). I lost the skirt for a few months (lost in my car lol), but after moving I found it again! So, here is another dress I wore it over! :)
Oh, yea! I cut my bangs and died my hair all by myself! I really like it! I hope you do too!

How has your week been? Recovering from the holidays ok?
I am trying to steer clear of the typical “I have to lose 20 pounds this year” bullshit. All I want to do is feel good this year. I want to eat things that make me feel good, I want to wear things that make me feel good, and I want to exercise in a way I enjoy (yoga, sports, walking). I have a lot of health problems in my family and have been in the hospital for a pulmonary embolism (blood clots in lungs) before so I know the importance of being active. However, I am over the hype that I should weigh something specific, I personally find it stupid and overrated.
Anyways, I have some other resolutions too:
That is all for now! I think I will continue to add more to the list. The beauty of a new year is the refreshing new start, I am going to try to better myself this year!
What are your new years resolutions?!?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I hope you all have plans for tonight, and have a great time with friends and family. BUT remember, please stay safe, and do not drink and drive. It is my job tonight to be the DD, wahooooo! ;) But I am going to drink energy drinks instead to keep me going. teheee
But above is my year in photographs. I wrote little notes under each photo so click on them and read them! I have a few resolutions but I will talk about them later! For tonight all I am concentrating on is having fun with my favorite people!
<3 I love you all and hope you have a fantastic New Years EVE! <33333
I just started an account on this site! If you have any questions for me feel free to ask me via this site! I can answer them via webcam which is as close to face to face as we can get! Unless you move to the ‘burgh! ;)
So ask away!
P.S. Check out this super scandalous suit I had to model the other day… Oh my
P.S.S. I updated my FAQ’s! Check them out in my “About” tab! Or click here.
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?
