The Curvy Blogger

Hey everyone!

How are you? Sorry about my vent last night, I was just going to explode unless I said something to someone. Kevin has been so great listening to my issues with life lately, I didn’t want to bog him down more, he can only relate to so much. Thanks for listening Kevy. ;)

So, this past weekend Kevin and I decided to save our pennies for a cruise in May! AHHHH! Our friends were doing it, so we decided we really needed a vacation. :) I have never been on a cruise, but it seems like a great way to island hop! EEEEEE! So excited.

This outfit is a super cozy daily uniform I wear to work. I have been living in these shoes lately, it probably has something to do with the fact that they are soooo comfortable!

Have a good week everyone! I love you! <3

P.S. I was interviewed for a german magazine called Portrait Magazine! Read all about it here.

Happy Thursday!

I am so glad this week is flying by. I am ready for the weekend, but when am I not? I think I am going to try to go thrifting this weekend. I need some new pieces to breath some new air into my wardrobe (read: bored with my clothing).

This dress is one of my favorites at the moment. It is so easy to throw on and not have to put much of an outfit together with it, it is such a statement by itself.

Anyways, I hope you are all having a fantastic week. I started the Hunger Book series last week,  (Kevin and I have our movie tickets for it already) so reading that has taken priority. I bought groceries for the first time in 3 weeks. Wahoooo. Also, I found out that my best friend is preggers. Lots going on here!

Hey everyone!

Happy Wednesdayyyyyy! I am so happy we are already half way through the week. I am tired, but have a happy hour event with friends after work so that is keeping me going!

The light was so pretty when I took these the other day, so Julie and I had to take advantage of it. :)

Lots of cool stuff is happening in my life. I would rather not tell you all of it mostly because I am not sure what is actually happening and what is just happening in my head.  Oh, and I overanalyze everything too, so that helps. ;)

But yea, more on this later.

Hey everyone!

This is what I wore the second day of fashion week. I figured I would bust out my favorite corset. You have no idea how long this corset took me to put on that morning, which is probably a good thing because it was a tad embarrassing. However, it was totally worth it. I kept seeing leather all over the runways so I definitely busted this out, and felt fabulous in it.

This was more of a casual look but still chic, which I was going for after the frigid weather my first day of being out and about. If you haven’t noticed these are the only fancy shoes I brought (no room in the suitcase for more).

Of all the outfits I wore for fashion week this was my favorite. There is something about a good classic separates look that makes me swoon, and this corset is so well made I cannot get over it. I felt like a more fashionable version of batwoman! ;)

But luckily for me I got to meet up with Meaghan, and she was amazingggggg. It was so nice to see a familiar face in a crowd of conceited fashionistas.

What do you think of this corset in my more casual outfit??

Hey everyone! And happy monday!

Here is my first outfit from Fashion week last week. I really didn’t know anyone at the tents so I was lucky to grab a police officer who managed to get every photo of me out of focus. Then I grabbed a street style photographer to take a few photos so I could share them with you guys!

This is what I got. You will likely see a trend in my outfits. I wore a lotttttt of black. My reasoning behind that is that I did not know what to expect at fashion week. And the best way to not stand out (in a bad way) is to wear black. So I did this and this is what I pulled out of my suitcase day one!

maxi dress: Asos Curve (old)

sheer dress over: ModCloth (old)

belt+necklaces: vintage

shoes: ModCloth (old)

warm coat: Do not remember (but it was freeeeeeezing)

<3 Mandy

P.S. I felt really cool because I did get a few street style photographers attention and I felt like a celebrity for two seconds. And one of them asked who my necklace was by, funny enough it was tangled in my jewelry bag from traveling and I just decided to wear it like it was! lol So I was like, yea, its by me! :}

Hey everyone!

This week has been nuts so far, I am getting everything ready for my time away from work and trying to figure out what to wear to New York Fashion Week! I am freaking out to say the least.

My outfit this week will be a bit more comfy and casual (I am trying to save my good clothes for next week). This look was really easy to throw on! I didn’t have any pants clean so I was kinda forced into wearing a skirt. I never wear this top because it is too short, but tucked into a skirt makes it perfect! 

Anyways, this week is nuts and I cannot wait to share my photos and journal with you as I am crashing fashion week! :)

scarf: gifted from a good friend

top: h&m

necklace: forever 21

skirt: from middle school lol

shoes: ModCloth (old)

p.s. Did you hear about Karl Lagerfeld calling Adele fat?! I was kind of annoyed, but Adele is perfect the way she is and I adore her. How does this make you feel?

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! ;)

dress: thrifted

corset: c/o Hips and Curves

shoes: ModCloth (old)

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

Happy THURSDAY!

I hope everyone is doing well, I am really good! I look like a slob at work today, so I figured I would share some of my outfit photos that I took for my job! 

I must admit, I am very lucky to be able to order anything from the site to model it for ModCloth customers, and share it with you all! :) Outfit photos are a part of my job which is why my blog has really transformed into a outfit blog. I hope you guys like the transformation. :D

ANYWAYS, here is what I am wearing in each picture:

#1: Swing Dance Sweetheart Dress, Heart-ly Contain Myself Cardigan, My Bouquet List Heel, Tights for Every Occasion in Black, Leaf it to Me Bracelet

#2: Fancy Dancey Dress, Today’s News Heel in Black

#3: Mulling Spices Dress, Upstate Drive Bag, Hipper than Hypnotize Necklace, Roam on the Range Boot

#4: Embrace It Cardigan, Fair and Lemon Square Dress, Trim the Twee Boot 

My favorite is either #1 or #4. :)

Which outfit do you like the best??

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

Sweater: Old Target

Bangles: All from thrifting except the biggest one which is from Greece (so freaking cool)!

Happy Wednesday!

This is the last outfit post with my old hair! I cut my bangs and dyed my hair myself yesterday! :} If you followed me on twitter you might have already seen photos! Ahhhh!

Anyways, this outfit is a typical “I just wanna be comfortable” outfit. Surprisingly, I really like how it turned out. :) It is casual chic and I was super cozy in the ModCloth office!

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

Hi everyone! 

I really felt inspired this morning to wear something feminine with a little rocker edge involved. I definitely think that definition describes my style pretty well, and this is what I came up with from that inspiration. :)

Today my outfit photos have been taken by Orchid Grey! She is a great fashion blogger who just recently moved to Pittsburgh, is now working at ModCloth, and is my new outfit photo buddy! :} So, you will probably be seeing that most of my outfit photos are by her (hopefully), and some of her outfit photos will be done by me! :)

OH I almost forgot! eShakti is AMAZING and they gave me a code for my amazing followers to use for $20 off each order you make at eShakti!! The code is: CURVYMODEL0811 (valid til December 31st!!!) Feel free to share it! <3

If you didn’t know yet, eShakti is great because they can make items to fit you! All you need to do is get your measurements for the item, enter it in and viola you get your custom made item in the mail! :) HOORAY FOR PERFECT FITS! :)

Happy shopping! <3
