Curvy Girl on the Run

Happy Sunday! I thought I’d bring back a fun color series that I did a long time ago. I basically wear an outfit of a certain color and then talk about that color- what it means, etc.  This week is super special because I just got back from Hawai’i and I splurged and hired a professional photographer while I was there. Making memories is super important to me and taking pictures is one of my favorite things to do. These pictures are my souvenirs from the trip and I am so happy with them- I even did a bikini shoot that I am low key obsessed with!- more to come on that!  For today’s color, we are talking about orange. Orange is the color between red and yellow on the spectrum of visible light. Orange represents energy, vitality, excitement, adventure, warmth and good health. It’s no surprise that orange is one of my favorite colors to wear! It’s a vibrant color and commands attention! Orange is also a color that you’ll find on a lot of marketing as it grabs your attention and is...

Happy Sunday!  It’s getting close to Valentines Day so I thought I’d do a little fun roundup of some pajamas and appliances that I think are fun! I know you think this is a weird combo but hear me out!  I was at  The Frenchie Boutique Hotel  last week and I fell in love with this pink Smeg refrigerator. I was wearing some of my new fave pajamas with  Print Fresh  so this post was born!  It’s going to be short and sweet, but here’s some fun ideas for sweet treats!  I had some people over on Instagram ask for links for this fridge so I found it and lots more of fun pink appliances! Who knew there were so many!  You can shop all the appliances  here   PrintFresh  is where I get my favorite pajamas and these are no exception! Perfect for Valentines Day or any day!  You can shop the pajamas  here  - use my code CURVYGIRL and save!!  Want more gift ideas? Let me know! I’m happy to shop for you or give you links to...

You’re on a trip to Italy and you know you’ll have a photographer. You also know that you’ll need a something black and white for a group photo. You know that other women in the group think you’re “extra” but you don’t care. Wear the damn dress. And bring an extra one which is more extra than the first one. Life is too short to worry about what other people think of you.  That’s just what I did. I grabbed this fun little dress from Anthropologie - actually both of the dresses are from there- but I did a Nuuly order and sent them back after I returned from the trip.  Do you know what Nuuly is? You can rent clothes which is great for travel or if you have a small closet and can’t keep everything. You can get six items at a time. Use my link  here  and try it if you haven’t already- it’s so fun!  I regularly do try-on reels on my Instagram too so you can check those out too for more inspiration and see types of items that I’ve ordered!  Anyways, wear the dress...

Hi friends! It’s a good old fashioned Sunday Style post! I’ve really been slacking on writing on the blog lately but I want to try to get back to it!

This post is paid for by  Lane Bryant . Hi friends! It’s another Sunday Style post! Today’s post is all about casual looks featuring this amazing pair of flare leg jeans from  Lane Bryant !  Blue is such a calming color and these looks are perfect for a casual outing or date night! I certainly don’t have the blues, I’m just having fun wearing them!  While I usually feature a lot of dresses and skirts, I do love wearing denim that fits and is stylish. I have been wearing more of a skinny leg or straight leg recently so when I saw these  bootcut jeans , I was excited to try them!  I think the key to building any outfit is to pick a foundation piece first and these  jeans  are definitely it! Add a top, boots and some accessories and your  look is complete! It’s really a simple formula!  I think this first look is a good casual one with this  knit relaxed top  and boots. I also added the  blue earrings  for even more blue...

How did this month go by so quickly? I don’t even know!  Well I want to introduce you to a new to me brand called  Pyne and Smith . I was introduced to this brand when they reached out to me and let me tell you, I’m loving their newest collection!  I was sent this beautiful purple linen dress and believe me, it’s amazing! I love the way the linen is a soft linen and not scratchy. I love that the silhouette is a straight one but does come with a self fabric belt for a more structured look. I also love that this dress can be dressed up or down!  I’m wearing the Collection 35 in the cassis linen. These dresses are all ethically made which is a bonus and they use the softest European 100% flax linen. They’re functional with pockets too and the size range has recently been expanded...
