I went to my first ELOQUII dinner!!! 🥹 High school me is screaming!!! That’s really who I get dressed for. I dress up in all the fits and colors she wish she had access to growing up.

This tulle maxi skirt is amazingggg. It has the perfect level of fullness, and I love the soft pink color. I’m wearing a size 22.

The tweed jacket was a last minute change that actually turned out so cute. I’m wearing a 22 and linked to the matching skort which I also have and am wearing in a size 24. Together, they definitely dress up & class up the fit. I linked to a cute top from ELOQUII that would make the outfit a little more casual and fun.

I wore these heels for 6-7 hours straight!! They are from ALLY Shoes 👠 I linked to them here, and you can use my code “ELLIE40” for $40 off your first pair of heels. These are comfortable, ergonomic heels that are available in sizes 4-12 and come in 4 different widths. I wore the black suede 3-in pump, but linked to the 3-in block heel as well. Both styles would be beautiful with this fit. Enjoy!!

Fall finally decided to show up. I’m wearing a size 24 in the skirt and a size 12 in the boots! I have a 20in calf and they fit perfectly. I linked to some alternatives of the shirt and jacket—both of which are in a size 3X too. Enjoy!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKPlusSize #LTKStyleTip

Fall fashion doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes the simplest outfits are the cutest.

I’m wearing this bodysuit in a size 3X/4X. The skirt is a size 24 and the belt is a size 42-47in. Linking to suggested boots and purse as well. Enjoy!!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKPlusSize #LTKStyleTip

This is a reminder that you have clothes in your closet! This dress is unfortunately sold out :( I linked to them just in case.

Now as for the shoes, you already know they are from ALLY. I’m wearing a size 12D or 12WW. Use my code “ELLIE40” for $40 off your first pair of heels and “ELLIE10” for 10% off your first pair of boots. Enjoy!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush #LTKItBag

Brown on Brown Skin??? Yes please! This bodysuit is TEAAAAAAA The way it snatched my waist in and complemented my skin tone is impressive. I’m wearing the 3X/4X and YES I was able to close it.

The skirt is in a size 24 and the belt is part of a set. I got the 42-47in version. Enjoy!!!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKStyleTip #LTKPlusSize

I keep finding gems on Amazon!! This wireless, seamless bra is in a size 3X. I also have the color coffee. The shorts are also in a size 3X and have some light compression for shaping. These are $20 each but with Prime Day, there might be some additional sales. Enjoy!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKStyleTip #LTKPlusSize

Yes, I need the lip gloss on to text 😂 This is Fuschia Flex from Fenty!

#LTKBeauty

The way high school me would FLIP if she could see my hair now 🥰 It truly has grown thicker and fuller in the last year, and I credit that to Mary Ruth’s and lots of water 😂 This is your sign to give them a try

#LTKPlusSize #LTKHome #LTKFamily

OBSESSEDDDDD!!!! The black fold over boots are in a size 12. They are a kitten heel and are wide foot AND wide calf friendly. The skirt is from Cider in a size 24. It comes with a belt, but I bought a better one from Amazon. I got the 42-47in size, and it’s part of a set of 3. Since I didn’t wear tights with these, I threw on my shorts from Oeak which are in a 3X, and they made it so comfortable.

As for the tan and black bodysuit, it is from D’IYANU! I bought it a year ago and this style is sold out. They have other options. I’m wearing a 3X. I can’t link to them here, but you can check out their website and use my code “EM15” for 15% off your purchase.

🏨 Lastly, if you happen to be in Chicago, I stayed at the Millennium Knickerbocker Hotel. Don’t let the name fool you! It was a beautiful antique hotel with a bar, valet parking and breakfast. It was inexpensive and in the heart of Downtown Chicago near the Water Tower. I got the Superior King Room. It was perfect for 1-2 people

#LTKPlusSize #LTKStyleTip #LTKShoeCrush

Black-owned brunch spot in Chicago! All the food was so delicious and flavorful. Here’s everything I tried:

- Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs (10/10)
- Fried Chicken & Cornbread French Toast (7/10)
- Cheese Grits (6/10)
- Lavender Gimlet (10/10)

Overall 8/10 - I will absolutely be going back to try more things on the menu 😋

My hair has never been this long and thick! My inner child is screaming with joy 🥲 I’ve been taking the mango peach multivitamin for awhile now, and I’m so happy with the results. I definitely recommend. Linking to two different sizes. Enjoy!

#LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKHome #LTKBeauty

This faux leather tote is for all my travel girlies! Not only is it fashionable, but it is also functional. There are pockets, compartments and zippers all throughout this bag for everything from lip liner to your laptop to a camera. I literally take this with me every time I get ready to go on a trip.

I’m linking to a few alternatives, but this bag comes in lots of colors and two sizes. I have the 15.6 in one. Enjoy!

#LTKItBag #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKTravel

Had to repost this fit!!! I’m so obsessed with the colors, the boots, the pleats. It’s such a balanced outfit.

I’m wearing a size 24 in the skirt and a size 12 in the boots. I’ve linked to alternatives of the crop top and denim jacket.

#LTKPlusSize #LTKShoeCrush

Meeting new people can be tough, but it’ll never happen if you don’t put yourself out there. I’m wearing this dress in a size 24. I’ve linked to some alternatives as well. Enjoy!

The Indianapolis Artsgarden was so beautiful! And it was such a pretty day so I wore this orange set from Universal Standard!

I’m wearing the top and pants in a size large. The shoes are in a size 12D and you can use my code “ELLIE40” for $40 off your first pair of heels. Enjoy!

#LTKPlusSize #LTKShoeCrush

Did you see how my skin was glowing at the end?? And this is just Day 1. My skin was already feeling really soft and moisturized. This is also very affordable skincare. The product sizes are huge for the price, and so far they seem really effective. I got the cleanser, brightening pads, toner, serum, lotion and zero cast SPF. Enjoy!

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKHome

These are gonna be your new favorite gym leggings I promise! And on Amazon they go up to a size 3X. I’m wearing an XXL even though I’m normally a size 22. So happy these fit! If you’re looking for new workout gear or loungewear, check these out. Enjoy!

#LTKPlusSize #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKActive

This mini handbag is a girls best friend! They are versatile, come in multiple colors and carry lots of stuff. They are small but mighty, and they’re less than $40. I’ve had them for over a year and wear them with almost everything. Enjoy!!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKItBag

This bra is so comfy, and the shorts provide some compression without being too tight. I’m wearing the bra and shorts in a size 3X. I have the bra in black and coffee. Enjoy!

#LTKFindsUnder50

To transition this dress from summer to fall, I added a pink sweater in a size 22, these tan fold over boots in a size 12 and a matching tan tote bag. Oh! You could also add a matching beret. I’m wearing the dress in a size 22 and I’m pretty sure it’s still only $15!

I linked to some alternatives of the pink sweater. Enjoy!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKSaleAlert #LTKStyleTip

These tiger print jeans and black mesh top are everything together!! I wore this outfit to a birthday dinner and it was so comfortable. Perfect fall colors and the perfect fall mix. I’m wearing the top in a size 2 (from Torrid) and the jeans in a size 22. The belt from Amazon is a size 42-47in. Enjoy!

#LTKPlusSize #LTKParties #LTKStyleTip

This loungewear set is undefeated!! I literally get comments every time I go out. This is my house outfit, my travel outfit, my I-just-need-to-run-a-few-errands fit. It is so versatile!

I’m wearing the wide leg trousers in a size 24 and the black crop top in a size 22. The loafers actually go up to a size 14!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFallSale

These jeans are so cute, and I don’t own a single pair like them. I’m wearing a size 22. They’re a little snug around the hips, but I’ll probably still need a belt for my waist.

As for the heels, I’m wearing a size 12D (double wide). You can use my code “ELLIE40” to get $40 off your first pair!

I’m wearing the black crop top in a size 22 and the wide leg trousers in a size 24. Enjoyyyy!!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKPlusSize #LTKStyleTip

This is the ultimate travel tote bag for my girlies who like fashion AND function! It’s kinda insane how much stuff I fit in here.

I’ve linked to two other colors that I have in this style, but they seriously have A LOT of options. Enjoy!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFallSale #LTKItBag

This weekend’s dinner outfit was a success!! The second I walked in the restaurant, one of the hostesses said “I love your style” 🥹 high school me is cryinggggg. To be able to dress the way I envision myself now, when I couldn’t all those years ago is truly a blessing. There is more work to be done, but I’m gonna celebrate this win.

I’m wearing the top in a size 2 (Torrid) and the jeans in a size 22. The belt is the 42-47 inch version and is part of a set. I wish I had some strappy heels but the best I could find to match the vibe was these platform sandals from Dolce Vita. Super comfy btw! I’m wearing a 12.

#LTKFallSale #LTKPlusSize #LTKFindsUnder50

At first I didn’t believe the hype either, but when I started my weight loss journey using a GLP-1 and there was a chance I could lose my hair—I wanted to do what I could to prevent that from happening. In addition to increasing my water intake, I took the Mary Ruth multivitamin. Not only has my hair grown longer, but it looks and feels thicker and healthier. Definitely check them out!

I also linked to my set which is two sets mixed together. I’m wearing a 22 in the top and a 24 in the pants. The loafers are in a size 12W. Enjoy!

#LTKActive #LTKBeauty #LTKHome

This outfit embodies fall! From the colors to the boots to the vibe, it’s everything 😍 I’m wearing the skirt in a size 24 and the boots in a size 12.

The jacket and top are both in a 3X, and I’ve linked to some alternatives. Enjoy!!

#LTKShoeCrush #LTKFallSale #LTKPlusSize

Did my (press on) nails in the car for my trip this weekend. I switched to press on nails a year ago, and it has saved me so much money. PLUS they last for 2-3 weeks because of this glue that I found on Amazon. As for the nails, you can find them on Amazon and Ulta. I linked to this exact style and some other favorites! They have other shapes. Almond is just my preferred. Enjoy!

#LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder50

This body butter is 100% organic and smells amazinggggg!!! I love that it’s put together in Harlem too. If you’re looking for smooth, healthy skin, this body butter should be your first step.

I’m also linking to my outfit! It’s parts of 2 sets that I put together. I’m wearing a 22 in the top and a 24 in the pants. Enjoy!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKFallSale #LTKBeauty

I love when an outfit in my head comes together IRL. The mesh top just gave the tiger jeans a dressier vibe, making the fit perfect for evening. I’m wearing the top in a 2 and the jeans in a size 22. For the belt, I got the 42-47 inch one. I also linked to the purse and pointed toe flats I plan to wear tonight. Lastly, I added a different strappy shoe that I think would also look nice with this outfit. Enjoyyy!!

#LTKFallSale #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKPlusSize

I have FINALLY decided to give Korean skincare a try! (I know I’m behind lol) BUT, I heard really great reviews about Anua Skincare. One thing I was really shocked by is how big everything is. Usually skincare comes in such small doses, but I can tell this is going to last.

I got their deep pore cleanser that has a moisturizing texture, brightening pads, toner, serum, lotion, spf, eye cream, cleansing oil, peeling gel, and some face masks. I knew the face masks were for real because you keep these on for 3-4 hours 😲 It also came with lots of free samples. I’m so excited to try!!
