I can't stop with the weddings

One of the things I love about the BHLDN line is how much it has inspired me to play in Photoshop. I do so much regular work in PS these days that I forget to play. Yay for Play!

These adorable and sexy (theme for the day) brides maid dresses are not actually bridesmaid dresses which is why they should be bridesmaids dresses. The lovely work of Karen Walker.I made this color palette for my friend who is planning her wedding right now. God, I love weddings. So much creativity and excitement and love and possibility. ADORE!

Healthy snack

via

I am addicted to kale. I love it. I love it. I love it. I seriously can not get enough of it. The other night I was out to dinner with all my ladies and their men and a discussion about Kale arose. When I said I eat it raw with a little lemon vinaigrette my friends gawked at me and nearly called me crazy. But i tell you - nothing will make you feel more healthy and excited to be alive than a fresh Tuscan Kale salad. So freakin' good!
But for those you want a crunchy yummy salty snack I offer you the Kale chip. So easy and so yummy. Get your Kale (any type will work) cut the center rib and stem off and toss around in tablespoon of olive oil. Add a bit of sea salt and some black pepper and bake in the oven at 3oo until crispy about 20 to 30 min. Boom! you have a delightful snack that won't make you feel like crap.

For you, For me, For everyone - something special

I am back to using a large purse these days and I love having everything at hand. I don't like having to rummage around though it all to find one thing. What I need is Rennes soft leather pouch. Adorable and sexy. That is my theme for this year. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. How about my theme for today.
I also thought it would make a great bday gift, bridesmaid gift, new mommy gift. Or maybe you deserve a gift for just being so rad. Get it!

Marriage Advice

My friend and constant inspiration, Margaret, is getting married this year. Today is also her birthday! Margaret asked her soon to be mother in law for some married life advice and she was given this is response " You must always give more than you get". I fell in love with that notion. It seems so lovely, simple and true.
I found this necklace today and thought it was a lovely visual representation and a nice reminder to live giving more than getting. here.

I am in love and don't I know it

I have fallen oh so hard for Ms. Tara Lynn. She makes me speechless. Her stunning beauty causes my mouth to drop to the floor.
"Tara is signed with Ford Models and was featured in V Magazine's “Size Issue” in April 2010. She also graced the cover and had a 20 page editorial feature in French “Elle”. Tara was recently featured in the London Times Fashion, she is 27 years old and her measurements are 38-34-46in, she is a true curvy inspiration, as most models are out of the business by 25." via

There is something so powerful about a full figured woman owning her beauty. We women sometimes forget how much strength and power we have. We have fallen for the dainty lady bit. Don't get me wrong, I too will throw on a baby voice when I need something or just don't want to something but there are times that I know that if I wanted to I could be a Rich Lady of Luxury with men falling at my feet. I wouldn't have to change a single physical thing about myself except my attitude. I guess that goes for anyone. It is all in the attitude.

Please enjoy Tara Lynn. Totally breath taking.


Tara Lynn for H&M's new BiB plus size line. Not available in the US. Boooo! They are going to carry some knock out party dresses in March for a limited time. I may have to send my German Uncle on a little shopping trip for me.





My one bone to pick - If America is known as the fat nation then why do we not have more stylish (not conservative) plus size clothing stores? I can not tell you how many rad clothes my size I have found on sites that are based in United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and even Denmark. Blows my mind. I guess American really just wants our money rather than helping us feel good about ourselves. Smart, confident people can start an up rise. I just want to look cute.

Tunes on Tuesday - rewind edition

I was chatting with a friend the other night and we were all giggles about the music we loved as budding young ladies of 11. I have been waiting for that time when I can bond with a new friend purely based on the fact that we grew up in the same decade. That time is now!

Enjoy this sexy flash back.


Does his lady not look a bit like Kristen Wiig?




This was my first album. $.99 at music plus. The single of the week.



I clearly learned my hairstyle from Lisa Stansfield and my make-up sense from one Ms. Taylor Dayne.

This last one may not hit everyone but for those it does it will be hard to not sing along and possibly cry as well.
