What You Wear In Miami Stays In Miami: LTK x Maybelline

LTK, Maybelline, Miami Party

Gworlllllllll!! 3 Days in Miami isn’t for the faint of heart.  Let’s talk about everything we wore, ate and of course the LTK x Maybelline event!

Day One

Sunday kicked off bright and early, from the airport to our hotel where we unpacked and dove headfirst into our mini vacay. I met up with my work wife, Holland, for some much-needed drinks and poolside relaxation and where we planned out details of our three days in Miami.

Then came dinner—a jaw-dropping experience at Queen in Miami left us utterly breathless. The vibes, the decor, the music—it was like stepping into the pages of The Great Gatsby! And let’s not even get started on the food and service—top-notch. And can you believe they even had a saxophone player serenading us? Talk about the cherry on top of an already amazing evening!

 

Day Two

Monday kicked off with the highly anticipated LTK event and we wasted no time diving into content creation mode. Alongside Holland, we captured shots for Hutch and Show Me Your MuMu, showcasing diverse sizes to highlight clothing across different body types. A #SlayOverSize

Remember; style has no size, babes! The pieces we wore were absolutely perfect for the vacation vibe too. Swing by my Instagram to catch the reels we made!

After a quick poolside lunch to recharge, it was time for the LTK x Maybelline Cocktail Party! If you’ve ever been to an LTK  event you already know they throw the best parties. The Edition Miami Beach was the perfect place for all of the dreamy decor that set the stage for the launch of Maybelline’s Lifter Plump Gloss. It’s spicy! 🌶

Makeup artists were on hand, color-matching us with the new Super Stay Vitamin C Skin Tint—a game-changer in my makeup routine, thanks to its seamless blend and lightweight formula. I wear shade 368! And let’s talk about the whole bar dedicated to their new Chili Plump Gloss—they had all different colors to choose from!

Getting to chat with the mogul that is Amber Venz Box is always amazing. She’s literally perfection and such a boss. Mingling with my mutuals, influencers and reconnecting with old friends made the experience even more memorable. Sarah Shaker, the VP of Brand Management for Maybelline, was an absolute sweetheart—I love being in rooms with so many inspirational women, creatives and powerhouses. I’m still on a high from it all.

As we bid adieu, they handed us some seriously hefty goodie bags before we headed off to Mila for dinner.  This is my favorite spot in Miami and always try to come when I’m in town. Our new friend Taylor, over at @wellnessforlifeblog joined us for dinner too.  What an absolute sweetheart!

Mila’s concept of small plates meant we got to share a variety of dishes, and girl, you know we had to indulge! One of my favorite things in life is to be at table with lots of amazing food with even better company.  Oh and our waitress exuded bubbly energy and delivered top-notch service—shout out to Noemi; it was the perfect end to an already unforgettable day.

Day Three

Tuesday unfolded as another whirlwind day of content creation. The LTK production team made their way to our hotel to shoot a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of a creator. From interviews to showcasing our content creation process and how we curate pieces for sharing on LTK, the day was a deep dive into all the things as a creator. The LTK crew’s were not only total pros but so much fun.  We laughed so much and it hardly felt like work. Also I feel like I’m ready for my own reality show; their equipment made it feel like we were shooting a Hollywood production. Someone even asked if I was a “Movie Star,” and of course, I said yes. 💁🏾‍♀️

 

After wrapping up filming, we packed our bags and said adios to Miami, but not before indulging in some authentic Cuban cuisine. Back home in JAX, it was time to unwind and recharge before gearing up for our next adventure.

Thank you LTK and Maybelline for this unforgettable weekend in Miami!

Stay Lovely!

PLUS SIZE MODERN FLARED JEANS AND PLATFORM HEELS

Plus Size Fashion, Thamarr, Musings of a Curvy Lady, Plus Size Flare Jeans, Anthropologie Model, White Button Down Shirt, How to Style a White Button Down Shirt

The last time I wore flared jeans was probably in middle school but I’m very happy so many of my favorite 90s trends are coming back.

To me this is an adult version of what I wore 20 years ago and I’m so happy with how it came out.  It incorporates a trend but still feels chic, classic famine and very me.

I highly suggest getting these flares from Amazon.  They’re under $40 and available in sizes S-3X.  I’m wearing a 3X and typically wear 20/22 in jeans.

I paired these dramatic flares with some structure with a classic red lip, a white button down shirt and a trench crop top. I’m a shortcut 5’4 and needed height to give this look life and not get lost so these major platform heels were the perfect way to addition to this look.

This look would be perfect for the office or a casual slay and the best part is that it will look absolutely amazing on every body type.  I love a look that not only will translate over time but also with different shapes.

Let me know down below what you think of this look!

Fringe Mock Neck Sweater + Flared Faux Leather Pants

Utah, Tunnel Springs, Salt Lake City, Utah, Anthropologie, Gucci Belt, Plus Size Fashion, Faux Leather Flare Pants, YSL Wallet Chain Bag, Tri Benson Hat, Lack of Color, Sam Edelman Bootie, Musings of a Curvy Lady, Plus Size Travel

 This year has been quite a journey both personally and style wise.  If you have been following me for some time I was initially known for wearing lots of color and this year I’ve embraced neutrals full force.

Don’t get me wrong, I love color.  I still wear it and very much attracted to it all but there is just something about a monochromatic neutral look that I cannot resist.

A few weeks back while I was in Utah I manage to wear this cozy multi textured monochrome fit to Tunnel Springs Park and not get anything on it.

Can I get a round of applause?!

I love this outfit because it’s not only giving ranch owner vibes but I genuinely got to enjoy wearing it without dying of heat because Utah’s weather was just parfait.

Needless to say, wear what you little fashion heart desires and you can love color and neutrals simultaneous, don’t fight me on this.  You’ll lose.

ANTHROPOLOGIE PLEATED KNIT MIDI SKIRT

Anthropologie Twist-Front Shimmer Tank, Pleated Knit Midi Skirt, Plus Size Fashion, Thamarr, Women's Fall Outfit , Plus Size Fall Outfit

Am I standing outside my Italian lakeside villa or am I on the side of the street in Avondale…

I’ll never tell.

Okay, maybe I will.  Truth is, I’m definitely not in Italy but thought this was the prettiest little setting for this colorful fall look from Anthropologie.

I love wearing knits in different unexpected ways and this colorful, pleated knit midi is definitely giving.  I paired it with this twist front shimmer tank and major platforms (that are currently on sale by the way, majorly).

I’m having major FOMO right now with everyone enjoying their best Fall lives; so I’m thinking of planning a trip somewhere to escape the southern heat.

Where do you think I should go and where this darling knit ‘fit?

These jeans are by far my most favorite buy all year because one, the fit!

Plus Size Boho Agathe Lace Mini Dress

Agathe Lace Mini Dress Anthropologie, Plus Size Model, Lack of Color Sierra Rose Hat

You had me at the billowy boho sleeves.

The Agathe Lace Mini Dress was made for all of your plus size boho princess dreams and I’m here for it.

One thing I love about this dress is the color play.  The pinks and orange are something I haven’t really seen together in a paisley print so I was immediately attracted to that.

The large puff sleeves, the sweet lace detail to the bodice and of course tassels.  This dress is literally a boho dream come true.

The only thing I would knock a few points off would be the length.  I’m 5’4 and I’m wearing anti-chaffing shorts.  Without them this dress would definitely give me a Marilyn Monroe Moment out in them streets.

Accentuating the pretty colors of this feminine frock, I added my Lack of Color Sierra Rose Boater.   It ended up being so perfect.

I love the boho vibes this look is dripping with and I’m ready to

Boob Tape + Anthropologie Audrina Eyelet Mini Dress

Anthropologie, Adrian Eyelet Mini Dress, White Eyelet Dress, Plus Size Spring Dresses, Black Plus Size Model

I may be biased but I think the little peek-a-boo back roll in this dress is just so darling! 

So what’s the trick to wearing a backless dress when you have large boobs?

Believe me, I was skeptical and doing all the research because I just absolutely loved this dress I had to figure out a way to make it work.

So I decided to invest in some high quality boob tape to keep my 42H’s in check.  I’d recommend Brassy Bra but you can find them anywhere on the internets.

I researched a bunch of different brands but decided on this one because of the tape color selection, great reviews, customer pictures and educational video that made me feel really confident in applying.

I used this video to learn how to properly apply the boob tape for this dress style. Don’t forget nipple covers.  It will save you from irritation!

Overall I would say that my boob tape experience in this dress was a good one and feel I have opened up a whole lot of backless styles that I would have avoided before, including this eyelet mini dress.

Modern Day Romance with the Georgette Tulle Maxi Skirt

 

Tulle much on my mind…

How do you wear a tulle skirt without looking absolutely ridiculous?

The key is to find one that doesn’t have too much poofiness.  Less layers means you’re less likely to be mistake for costume character.

This one is absolutely perfect and the tiny dance 3D appliqués are just the touch of texture play without being overwhelming.

 

What do you think?  Would you rock a tulle maxi dress?

Manifesting an Island Getaway with Vacation Style at Home

Anthropologie Maeve Ruffle Maxi Skirt

I’m tired of seeing the inside of my house and desperately want a vacation on a tropical island.  But even with restrictions being lifted and more vaccinations being dispensed I’m still very reluctant to travel.

We are still very much in a pandemic, amiright?!

So to quench my vacation thirst I’ve decided that Corona can’t stop me from slaying a look.  I can always dress up like I have my own private water bungalow in Bali.  Case in point today’s outfit was inspired by my alter ego.

I don’t have a name for her quite yet but she is oozing of rich-auntie-on-an-all-inclusive-vacation -with-private-butler vibes.

Saturday/Sunday Cozy Sweater Set

 

Today felt like a legit Fall day and I couldn’t be happier.

Praise!

If you’re you’re looking for a stunning two piece set that is sure to keep you warm and sexy well into winter, ladies, this 👏🏾 is 👏🏾 it!

This sweater set is in the creamiest winter white and comes oversized.  I’m wearing the 2X and could have easily done the 1X.

On the model the sweater set is styled with a French Half-Tuck but when I tried that it didn’t look so great.

So I opted to wear it tucked in.  Just a disclaimer, the top was noticeable but not enough for me to make a big deal about it.

The criss cross action of the skirt gives a little flare without doing too much.

I love how simple and sexy this minimal look is with some barely-there kitten heeled sandals and muted statement clutch.

I kept my makeup glowy and subdued and jewelry tré simp with just a thin chained necklace.  Overall this outfit has to be one of my favorite styled looks to date.

It’s a quiet look with a big mood.

NEW BHLDN Plus Wedding Collection

Today BHLDN launched their new Plus Collection featuring the most glam and beautiful wedding dresses.  If you’re in need of a boho, feminine, luxury inspired gown this is definitely a wonderful option.

 The collection is available to shop today in sizes 0-26W.

The BHLDN team was kind enough to let me style a couple gowns and I wanted to take advantage of wearing such beautiful pieces and organized a styled shoot in under a weeks time.

I teamed up with some of the most talented, amazing and inspirational female creatives in Jacksonville to create something I never had growing up; a beautiful, plus sized image of a woman in a wedding dress.

Jenn and Becky are longtime friends and a photography and floral duo that recently created a new business to help create, design and curate elopements and weddings.

In a time were engaged couples are making huge adjustments for their big day, Jenn and Becky offer you a way to maintain the beauty and intimacy of a ceremony but just reimagined.

Make sure you follow them on instagram and see the beautiful designs they create.

Follow Union Design House

Sarajane is an national award winning hairstylist and just overall cool girl and fortunate to call her a friend.  I love her determination and desire to learn and try anything.  She’s definitely a force and talent beyond words.

Sarajane is the Boho Braid Queen and I was so lucky to have her a part of this styled shoot.  My wigs never looked better.

Follow Blush and Mane

My friend Lia is incredibly kind and humble but also an amazing makeup artist.  She made last minute changes in her schedule so she could help me out with this styled shoot.

Her kindness and talent also have been recognized in our city as Jacksonville Magazines Best Artist.

Follow Lia Croke


As a little girl, remembering that I didn’t see myself or people that looked like me in a positive or beautiful way on TV or in magazines, was burned into my psyche.

Etched into my mind were the white, thin models and actresses on my favorite TV shows that got the guy, landed the job and all the good things in life .

That kind of limited narrative of beauty and success can do some major damage to a fat Black little girl.

You start thinking I must have to change the things about myself that I cannot change to be considered beautiful.

It may very well start a vicious struggle with body and image dysmorphia that can take years to undo the damage.

Visibility and inclusion matters…

That’s why I love using my platforms to create visuals and images of Fat Black Beauty in all it’s glory so that a young Black fat girl that stumbles upon my images cannot only see herself and her beauty but all the potential she has.

This is more than a styled bridal shoot.  I hope it makes room for you to believe in your heart that you are worthy of all the good things in life despite what the world wants you to think.

Your skin color, race, weight or body shape should not hold you back from these God-given gifts.

Now, let’s get into these gowns.  I’m wearing a size 26W in both dresses.

Just a note: Wedding dresses tend to be much bigger than your actual size.  For example if you’re a size 12/14 in most of the clothing you wear, you may be a size 16 or 18 in bridal.

Anthropologie Jodie Maxi Mix Print Dress

With this extra time in quarantine I’m learning a lot about myself – the good and the bad.   How about you?

I’m learning what I want and don’t in a potential partner, what irritates me for no reason at all, what sparks light and joy and skills I never knew I had.

I’m also learning of the things I’ve taken for granted like making plans and keeping them.

As much as I am a social butterfly I’d relish the time I have by myself and often times wouldn’t be hung up over plans that ended up getting cancelled.  We’d always make plans for another time, right?

“I’d rather be by myself,” I would say.

Oh, how the tables have turned.  

I can’t even believe that was once true.  I wish I wasn’t by myself at this point.

I miss social interaction much like everyone else right now and I plan on not taking it for granted once we’re past this thing.

Things changed so quickly and honestly my mood and emotions do to.  Day by day.

So I totally get it, universe.  Major lesson learned.

What have you been doing with your extra time?

In the meantime I’m learning how to mix cocktails.  I think I getting pretty good.  Maybe I will share some tips and tricks in another post.  Would you be interested in that?  Let me know in the comments below.

This look was one from my last photoshoots pre-quaratine life.  Can’t wait to wear it again for a IRL get together with friends.
