The never ending question I get from my readers have been where do curvy women buy jeans. Here are a couple of tips I use whenever I’m denim shopping.

1. I always feel them to make sure they are soft which makes them super comfy, then I do a stretch test.

2. I read the labels inside to see what they are composed of. I prefer denim with 2% elasthanne, cotton, and 2% spandex.

3. I try them on and most times they fit me in the hips but not in the waist, so I focus on that and then it’s time to take a trip to my seamstress.

Sometimes when things don’t fit us the way we like, it’s best to make an investment to get them altered. I get most of my jeans taken in at the waist and at the hemline. I also get dresses shortened, sleeves removed and any other crazy thing I can think of because I love to experiment with fashion. You have to do what works for your body type.

My favorite jeans are  Rag&Bone, CitizenofHumanity, Seven, Joe’s and J Brand. I’ve tried Current Elliot, but very few styles fit my curves. I can’t forget the Old Navy rock star Skinnies. They have the perfect stretch for curvy girls and they come in every color. Hope I answered all your questions. Have a great week!

What really touched my heart was when I heard the founder of this amazing charity Marjorie Margolies speak. I really felt the passion she had for helping and encouraging women. I’m all for empowering women so I immediately knew that this was something that I wanted to be apart of.  She helps women all over the world make a living for themselves with the essentials to make it easier which saves them time and allows them to make money. Imagine if you had to walk 4 miles everyday just to get water. These women inspire me.

I am so humbled by this experience and  honored that I was able to be in the presence of women who had such huge hearts for other women! You guys can check out it out here.

Alice and Olivia Blouse, Levi's Jeans, Gucci BootiesI’m constantly growing everyday and with that being said I sometimes can get discouraged about the day to day trials life can bring. What get’s me over those humps are staying around positive people, praying and (I recently started) meditating. 

Hope you guys had a great weekend. See you soon.

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect sailor sweater that was light enough to take with me on vacation. This sweater will also be my summer staple being that California will be blazing at 3pm and as soon as 7pm hits, it can get a bit chilly. It’s perfect.

eatingSome days I come home late and have to make a quick dinner. I put these chicken breast in the oven then pan fry them really quick afterwards and they are so juicy. The asparagus taste great as well. I’m always on the hunt for a quick healthy meal.
