Curvy Girl on the Run

I’m currently drinking wine with a full belly of fettuccine Alfredo and catching up on The Voice from this week. Life is good! But what’s up, friends? It’s Wednesday! If you follow me on Instagram, I was on stories talking about school today and wondering if some certain teachers (music) are meaner than others? Also pondering about the devil’s common core math. You should follow me over there- you really should!  Today’s look is from  LuvMeMore !  I’m kind of dying over the color combo that I came up with too! I love this chartreuse color and paired with this fun utility skirt? I mean, come on! This  top  is actually a bodysuit (!) but I love the tie detail that you can wear tied like I did or you can leave them untied and hanging. The  skirt  is really fun since it’s military colors and has a fun belt and slits on the sides. What do you think of this look?  This rail car is actually in the back of a lot and I’ve used it a couple of times for...

This post is sponsored by  Ulla Popken   I’m back with more fall fashion! I say this as I’m sitting inside with temps of 20 degrees outside and snow! But just because it’s cold, it’s still technically fall!  I partnered with  Ulla Popken  again to show you a couple of fun fall outfits. I love the way you could totally mix and match pieces too! Both of these looks are casual but you could use some of the pieces to mix with other pieces in your closet to create some dressier looks as well!  Let’s take a look at the first fall look:  I’ve paired a fun  graphic tee  with a pair of  denim . On its own, this outfit is super casual and is perfect for hanging around in! Add the  zebra coat  and boots and a floppy hat and I’m just another basic blogger! Lol but really, it’s a fun coat and I cannot wait to wear it with more looks!  For an even more different look, my friend Liz from With Wonder and Whimsy and I both w...

Here’s to another installment about fall fashion! Fall is one of my favorite seasons to dress since it is filled with rich colors. I love the deep hues of mustard, green, red and navy not to mention all of the other varied shades!  Ulla Popken  is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to shop! I am loving the choices for this time of year. I look for rich colors and patterns but also fun details like ties or zippers or stripes- all of the things that make an item special!  Good news! I have two fun looks for you from  Ulla Popken  in today’s post! I’ll start with a  blouse  and pants look. I love all of the shades of greens and grays and all of the animal prints in this  blouse . It fits great and it has a little zipper detail at the neck and little ruffle sleeves. The  pants  are also great because not only are they super comfy, but they are super cute! The  pants  are made of ponte material and are stretchy but the black...

Well it’s hard to believe it was exactly eighteen years ago that the dreadful day happened. 09/11 seems like it was so long ago, yet just yesterday! I must confess that I miss the comradery of Americans after the attacks happened. Flags flying, strangers being kind, patriotic anthems playing, the whole nine yards. I wish we would be like that every day!  We continue to live our lives as if nothing ever happened. Let us never forget.  Now, let’s talk about how this past week went. I had a birthday, made a custom lipstick, went to a garden and sculpture park and had a fantastic brunch. This past week was full of fun activities and friends and family.  I went to the  Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park  with my friend Kathy. We have been friends for years and used to travel together everywhere for work! It’s nice that I’m back up in MI close to her for a little while anyways! While we were there, we saw lots of plants - not many flowers because of the time o...
