I'm a eBay Seller: Plus Size Leopard Print Wrap Dress
Hi beautiful girls, I'm officially back to selling gems on eBay my dream is to have a successful online boutique but I have to start small. However, when I ran across this beauty I knew I had to purchase a few for my beauties who love beautiful things and keep one for myself (don't judge me). I've said many times on my Youtube Channel and I'll say it again. I consider leopard print to be a neutral meaning you can do some much with it. Today I played it safe and pair it with my round toe orange Zara Pumps and a clutch. I fell in love with this dress because of the wrap design it gives me more of an hourglass shape while concealing my tummy area. This dress can easily transition into a fall piece by pairing it with a nice blazer and booties.

My First 5K Walk: The Blacklight Run
I experienced my first 5k walk this weekend at the Blacklight Run. The Blacklight Run is a unique 5k that focuses on glow in the dark powder and neon glow sticks. The purpose of the 5k is to raise money for the local Children's Hospital. I really enjoyed the experience the music was upbeat and loud and the walk was really fun. I was a little sore since I didn't train much but I'm ready for my next 5k! I had such a good time and it was a great bonding experience for us. I wanted to share a few tips to completely your first 5k.
- Make sure you have adequate clothing and shoes to complete the 5k. I suggest purchasing some shoes that are made strictly for running or walking. Wear clothing that's easy to move in preferably fitness pants.
- Arrive early. The traffic was a beast and you don't want to be late for the walk.
- Start light walks weeks before your 5k. Start off slow maybe starting with a mile and slowly increasing your step.
- Come prepared. For me that meant bringing gum, my own personal water, a towel, and a little cash.
- Take your time. The thing I loved about this race was that it was fun it wasn't very serious about time and how fast you finished the race.
- Respect those who do choose to run by staying on the side designated for walkers also respect those with strollers. If you are a slow walker stay in the designated lane for walkers it's the same as driving you have to share the track and respect others.
- Bring a family member or friend. Having someone to experience this with makes the miles go by quickly.
- Have fun. For me once I completed the walk. I felt a sense of accomplishment and I'm already looking forward to the Race for a Cure 5k in October.

Holy Chic Plus Size OOTD
I have driven past this mural for years and always thought to myself that I would shoot there one day. Today that happened, it was very nice out today and I wanted to wear my new "Holy Chic" shirt from Old Navy. As of lately things have been transitioning around me and some major things are about to transpire. I say that because that is what I believe mostly importantly that is what I feel. While uploading and editing this photo I began to think about the fashion community in Memphis and how proud I am to be apart of something great. Enjoy...

Causal Cool Saturday: Plus Size OOTD
Fall has arrived and I'm not ready. It has been rather cool in Memphis for the last few days. So I decided to wear a light knit sweater since I haven't had the chance to prepare my wardrobe for fall yet. I wanted to be comfy but chic because I knew we would be out all evening.

Altuzarra for Target Collection
Joseph Altuzarra the creative designer for Altuzarra stated the collection was inspired but the "global traveling narrative". He wanted to create a line that would make women feel confident and beautiful stating "one of the guiding principles of Altuzarra is that fashion can be transformative, changing not just the way you look, but also the way you feel. By partnering with Target, we hope to bring that same experience to a much broader range go women".
Now I cannot mention this new collection without speaking about the multiple plus size fashion bloggers but particularly plus-size fashion blogger Garner Style who has promised to boycott Target due to the mysterious disappearance of it's plus-size section. Target responded to the disappearance stating "Big Changes are Coming". Garner has promised to boycott Target completely and will stop the boycotting when Target decides to consider plus size women again.
So you may ask what is my opinion on this matter. Well I'm quite torn, and a few questions will need to be answered in order for me to make a complete decision. For one, is it the responsibility of the designer or the retailer to decided if "plus sizes" will be offered? Upon research I notice that Altuzarra has never made plus size pieces (largest size available a XL). I do agree that our society as a whole should recognize that women come in all different shapes and sizes. The obsession that all women should aspire to be the image of a model is unhealthy for our society and teaches a lesson of self-hate. In conclusion, because I love fashion I will still share the pieces I adore. The Altuzarra collection for Target will debut 50 pieces. However, with this not being a plus size collection as with previous collaborative collections at Target I have seen plus-size bloggers still be able to incorporate some pieces into their wardrobe.

My Fashion Wish List: Items I'm obsessing over.
Hello beautiful girls. Every now and then I like to share a few "gems" that have me completely obsessed. As a fashionista my fashion wish list is often pretty long so I try to wait for sales and promotions before I purchase. However, I figured I would share my fashion wish list and items I'm obsessing over,
1. Top Shop RABBIT Faux Fur Fluffy Sandals: I actually ordered this so look for a OOTD post very soon. However, this shoe puts me in the mind of Cher from Clueless. It's very girly, definitely a staple shoe and right up my alley when I'm feeling daring.
2. Kate Spade Via Limoni Lina clutch: I have been eyeing this purse for some months now. It's currently on sales for $174.00 but I will continue to watch it hopefully it will be reduced again.
3. Boohoo Plus: Darcie Woven Cape Jacket: I love the color definitely a statement piece. However, the structure and cut of these piece is nice.
4. H&M Should Fringe Purse: Fringe purses are really trending now I've been eyeing this baby since last year and it's affordable.
5. Asos: The Whitepepper Eye Clutch: This clutch is a more affordable eye clutch to the Charlie Olympia Clutch Beyonce Featured on her OOTD.
