Take it to the Maxi



 Summer, Summer, Summer...

I wish I knew everyone's fascination with it. My hair doesnt want to cooperate, my makeup slides off, I sweat literally everywhere, I pay higher electric bills--- its just not a sexy three to six months depending on Texas' mood. I struggle through it every single year. This year I wanted more maxi options and I found this one on Asos for like $25, so of course I bought it. Also, can we talk about how hard it is to find a maxi with sleeves?! Entirely too hard.

Summer Black & White


I love black. This is no surprise to anyone by this point, I'm sure. How do you get black ready for summer? Add a little white. Best part of this post? Most everything (except the middle outfit) goes past a size 24.

A monochrome look is instant chic, but there is always something refreshing about a good black and white combo. Kate Spade is a thing for a reason. Links below!

Fat Travel Anxiety: The Beginning


Original photo credit: Patrick Bennett

As I've mentioned about 75 times before, I'll be traveling in October.  We have had a pretty stressful year and decided a month or so ago to just schedule something and work out the details later. Cody, A friend of mine from high school is a travel agent now (follow the link if youd like to check him out; you can tell him I sent you over) and so I hit him up and was like, "Vegas... go!" Then we realized he also did cruises and so I threw in a "but if you have any great deals on a cruise, we'd be willing to look at those too." Im sure he was like, Oh Monus! Here we go. Long story short, we have a cruise to the Bahamas planned.

I've also casually mentioned my anxiety levels in passing, but I'm not sure if I've gotten much into it. It is paralyzing in some situations. In the past when I didn't have a handle on it, I couldn't get out of the car to go in the grocery store if I hadn't mentally prepared myself.  I cover it well enough with casual acquaintances, but my poor boyfriend and my best friends have seen the worst. I really cant thank them enough for just listening when I'm going over my packing list for the 2667th time making sure everything is perfect.
