    Fierce Food: Butternut Squash and Spinach Mac and Cheese

    My buddy Jimmy, who is a culinary genius in training and my son’s Godfather, and I were JUST talking about all these douchey food blogs where there is an insane amount of fluff in each post that you have to scroll through before you get to the actual fucking recipe and I’m about to commit…

  • Romp and circumstance.

    Romp and circumstance.

    Happy Hour with coworkers usually turns into Happy Wee Hours of the Morning so I usually dress with comfort in mind. And, to my credit, I got this outfit half right with Sofft sandals that are just plain like walking on fluffy bunnies and this gorgeous lace romper from Eloquii, which allowed me to cross…

  • Mermadness.

    Mermadness.

    Hello, Year Two of Bikini Wearing. We’re taking this mermaid shit up a notch. Now, I’ve got a thing for lime. It might be my favorite of the brights. And don’t get me wrong, EVERY SINGLE ONE of Gabi Fresh’s bikinis for SwimsuitsForAll is, in no uncertain terms, amazing and I want them all. But…

  • The Betrayal: Body Positive and Losing Weight

    The Betrayal: Body Positive and Losing Weight

    When I think of plus-size role models or icons, I always think back to Roseanne. She was maybe the first fat woman I remember seeing on TV who had most of the shit woman are supposed to want–a husband, kids, a house, a job. She had friends, was well liked and was even hit on…

  • Basic bitch.

    Basic bitch.

    I just got back from Disneyland so I had to dig into my reserve of OOTD pics for this forgotten gem from our now defunct Mixed Print Mondays at the office. Yes, people. Printed shoes count too! I knew these Coach sneakers I bought on a whim from Knimble on Grand would come in handy.…

  • Purple reign.

    Prints have been taking up space in my fashion consciousness as of late. I needed reminding that solids can be just as bold. Yes, it is all about the styling but the cut is a close second. For one, this is a whole lotta purple. Add to that the midi hem, fluted skirt and bracelet-length…

  • Long live bibs.

    A bib necklace can be a tough piece to incorporate into your wardrobe if you love prints and color as much as I do. You really need something neutral to let it shine. Luckily, this relaxed peplum top from H&M was perfect with its high neckline and heather gray. It gave this INPINK bib necklace…

  • Silver savage.

    As you can tell, I’ve been really into pairing TOMS with skirts. Comfortable, yes. But I do really enjoy a sporty flair. Plus, this pair perfectly matched my INPINK earrings. Speaking of which, INPINK was kind enough to give me a code to share with my friends and family (or anyone else reading this) for…

  • Versatile reality.

    My favorite part about this outfit, other than how fucking svelte I felt in it was asking people, “You like my dress?” them saying “Yas.” and me lifting up the shirt to reveal just an inch of belly and saying “Cuz it’s not a dress!” One, there are few things in life more satisfying than…

  • Prints charming.

    I am completely guilty of under-utilizing a classic fashion staple I am lucky enough to have in my closet–the polka-dot button down. However, it’s denim and I always have a weird issue with wearing denim close to my face, I can’t really explain it. But I am challenging this phobia. My hair is huge right…
