weekend vibes ✨

You know when you find a dress that you could just live in all summer? ✨☀️✨

This denim maxi dress is one of those pieces. I'm wearing a size 2X but could've sized down for a more defined waist.

I don’t know about you, but I feel like whenever I am wearing a skirt to the office, too. It’s a maxi or a mid-length, but I think this slightly kissing the knee is also appropriate, thoughts?

✨ I picked this wrap dress up in navy too! Wearing a size 2X. For the shoe, I decided to pair it with my favorite ballet flats from Sezane. The woven Gold material feels dressed up, but not at the same time.

This striped Walmart set is SO good for summer 🍊☀️ something tells me this shit is gonna sell out quick!

Comes as a two-piece so you can wear it together or style separately. KK talked me into this one and honestly… she was right 😂

I'm wearing a xxl top & bottom (18/20) and KKis wearing a Large top & bottom (14/16).

#LTKmomlife #LTKOver40 #LTKPlusSize

honestly, this dress feels like sleepwear it’s so comfortable and lightweight!

I’m wearing a size XXL. Linked here https://on.ltk.com/+L3A63GipJAGOU5t4dILSXA

Found us a lovely summer dress and it comes in white too! 💙🤍💙

Under $40. I'm wearing an XXL (20). available in sizes XS-4X.

Can’t wait to style this with sandals and a straw bag for the weekend!

When your daughter becomes your stylist 😂

KK found this cute Walmart set for $20, it comes in two patterns.

She is a size 14 and wearing a XL top, and large skirt (runs big).

I’m a true 18 /20 and wearing an XXL top and bottom.

This is a great set for vacation or date night. Where would you wear it?

I was on the hunt for cute sneakers for running errands, and i found these at TJ Maxx. I love the colorway for summer! 💚✨💚

It’s time! 🎄 Whenever I look for new Christmas ornaments, I always pick one hero and build around that for the year. This year, it’s all about the plaid balls.

I wanted it to feel luxurious but traditional, so adding pearls and pops of white and bright red brings a festive touch.

I scored this awesome Balsam Hill Fraser tree at the end of last season, and it’s stunning! The lights can shift from warm white to multicolor and can be adjusted for brightness.

The coordinating garland was the perfect finishing touch.

I recently intended a lounge opening, and this is the dress I wore! ❤️ it’s from last season, but I linked a similar option.

#LTKPlusSize #LTKParties #LTKOver40

I’ve really been leaning into flats for work because they’re comfortable and there are so many stylish options.

I recently picked up these patent leather Mary Jane shoes in burgundy that have been on my Sezane wishlist for a while.

I’m typically a size 7 1/2 standard and I order an 8. my dress is an older pattern from last season, but I think the new style wearing a size 18 (TTS).

Am I the only coffee lover who gets super excited when discovering a new exciting bean? I picked up this Two Brothers Montage Blend at Costco, and it is such a treat!

Also, I get questions sometimes about the Nespresso versus the Breville espresso machine, so I wanted to share how I use both and why.

I know that the wand frothers are really convenient, but hands down, the Nespresso milk frother is my go-to because it not only warms the milk but also allows you to make cold foam as well. #coffee

Airplane essentials! ✈️ I always carry this L'Occitane lotion with me. It has a light scent of lavender, bergamot, rose, and white musk. The perfect way to stay fresh and calm without overpowering those around me.

My coach pouch is actually a men's bag, which is great because it comes with a removable strap. It's large enough to hold all of my makeup essentials but doesn’t look like a makeup bag.

I think I found my new favorite plus-size jeans! These boot cut jeans (wearing a 16) are from NYNJ, and I love the fit. The top is from Banana Republic, and I got it for under $15.

My gold hoops are from Sezane, and I love that they don’t have an earring back, which makes it super easy to keep up with.

My work bag is from Coach Outlet, it can hold everything I need. Plus, it has two built-in straps and an area to connect a larger travel strap.

I know office vixen is a thing but for real how short is to too mini for the office?

When i saw this plus-size mini skirt I loved the style and because I don't have many shorter skirts I wanted to give it a try.

Style Tip: Opting for a flat shoe over a heel and tights keep this look work appropriate.

I'm wearing a size 1X top, 2X skirt and tights. For my scent, Valentino Born in Roma is a warm and spicy floral.

POV: lunch + learning with the LTK team🍴✨

Do you remember when I melted the water pitcher in the dishwasher?! 😜 Well, I upgraded the Aarke Purifier is a patented water filter pitcher in glass and stainless steel.

I could eat this quinoa salad from Costco every day! Have you tried it?

October 1st means it’s officially tights season in my world! ✨

Over the years, I’ve tried all the plus size tight brands, and I keep going back to Sheertex tights because I don’t have to worry about runs or them not fitting properly. I wear a size 2XL.

Sidenote, this swivel chair was the best purchase last season because it brings so much warmth and functionality to this corner of my master bedroom.

Despite the unusual heat in Chicago, we know the fall chill will be here in no time.

Here's a sneak peek of what's in my cart for Fall.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKPlusSize

Overnight oats have become my morning rush favorite, and I finally found the perfect containers that don’t leak, and the spoon attachment is super convenient. They come in bunch of colors, my daughter picked pink 🙄

Some of my favorite antioxidant packed combinations are apple cinnamon and blueberry with coconut yogurt. I always add Chia seeds, honey, and a little granola or nuts.

#LTKPlusSize #LTKHome #LTKOver40

Although I’m not usually a print girl, my tip for trying a new trend is to start with a classic silhouette, like this slip skirt. 🐆

In this video, I styled a leopard-print slip skirt (XXL) with a white bodysuit (XXL) and a cropped denim jacket (1X). I kept accessories simple: black patent flats, a pop-of-color bag, red lip, and vintage earrings.

And for fragrance, I’ve been reaching for Prada Intense nonstop this fall. 🍂

Fit Notes (for my plus size ladies 💕):

I’m 5’2” and typically a size 18/20.
• Bust: 48”
• Waist: 43”
• Hips: 58”

Okay, maybe I do close my jackets. But in the fall temperatures, I feel like it’s more of a light layer to accessorize my outfit 😆
I love these coats, especially because they have a classic yet interesting print and really nice buckles. They’re currently on sale for 25% off and also come in a neutral cream color.

Wearing a size one 1X, I’m typically an 18/20 for reference.

I went to Bath & Body Works yesterday to pick up some new fall fragrances for the home. Our top picks were Autumn Chai for the kitchen, Lakeside Morning, Lavender Bergamont, and Whipped Honey & Vanilla.

Korean BBQ night… at home! 🏠✨ My daughter and I love Korean barbecue, so we decided to try it at home.

We had the best time grilling everything on our Beautiful griddle. We grabbed all the fresh meats + sides at HMart and honestly, it felt just as fun (and waaay more affordable) than going out.

Would you try Korean BBQ at home?

The nude lip combo I can’t stop wearing for fall 🤎

MAC’s Chestnut lipliner never fails! I love to slightly overline my bottom lip.

Next, apply Teddy 2.0, a warmer deep-tone beige.

The icing on top is the perfect Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid in shade 04 honey pure love.

Life Hack: This is for my coffee-loving friends over 40!

Using the 3-2-1 method, I figured out the perfect balance for adding collagen to my coffee without affecting the overall taste or texture. ✨ Also linking all of my coffee essentials.

Add this suede jacket to your list of fall layers you'll actually wear! ✅

This is one of those versatile pieces that you can style with jeans or your favorite work pants. It truly is a workhorse in your fall wardrobe.

I’m wearing a size 1X jacket, paired simply with a white cami and a brown belt to highlight the tones and buttons. As for the jeans, can we take a moment to appreciate the leopard print?

I love that the print is a bit muted, which gives it a more sophisticated vibe. Plus, I appreciate that these come in regular, long, and petite sizes. I'm wearing a size 20 in regular.

When it comes to fall essentials, the first item on my checklist is outerwear. ✅

Last season, I purchased a navy blue quilted jacket that I wore so often that this year I wanted something a bit more fun.

I found this quilted ladies coat coat for under $100, but the sale ends today. It’s available in straight and plus sizes.

I’m wearing a size 1X, and I’m a 18-20

#LTKOver40 #LTKStyleTip #LTKSaleAlert

I know it’s early to talk about coats, but this one is on sale for 50% off, and today is the last day.

My mom swears by the original Angel scent, but I’m more of an Angel Elixir girl 💫 She’s warm, sensual, and that little spicy kick? Perfection.
