It’s crazy to think that the photos in today’s post were taken just a few short weeks ago while on a mini girls’ Day Trip in Orlando.

My friends and I wanted to get out of Jacksonville and just see something different.  So we hit the road and made good use of a full day.

We ventured to the cutest coffee shops, local eateries and did a little shopping.
It was such a good day.

Last month was seriously enjoyed one of my favorite travel moments.  I got to spend a few days in Venice, Italy before sailing off with Princess Cruises inaugural voyage on their newest ship Sky Princess.  More on that amazingness to come but back to me living my best life in Venezia.

It was like a trip before the trip and it just happened to be in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

It’s always reaffirming and really quite amazing when you can use your voice to elicit change and something actually happens.

I’ve been blogging about plus size fashion, the joys and struggles for almost 7 years and I’ve been a fat girl for more than 30.

So, you can say that I’m an expert at plus size consumer relations.  I’ve been a neglected often ostracized fashion consumer my entire life.

But I’ve made due.

Am I the only one that thinks if they could just hangout one time with a certain celebrity you’d totally just hit it off and be BFFs IRL?  Anyone?

I know I’m not alone right … and over the last few years my celebrity-girl-gang-in-my-head has significantly expanded.

Of course it includes OG members like Beyonce, Solange, Mindy Kaling, Oprah and Blake Lively but over the last few years I’ve decided that new age millennial warriors like Yara Shahidi and Rowan Blanchard and ex Nicholas Sparks heroine Mandy Moore are absolutely celebrity-girl-gang-in-my-head material.

It’s no secret that I’m a lover of dresses and skirts.  Pants and me have always had this love/hate relationship where hate would tend to win.

When I do opt for pants I’m attracted to wide leg flowy silhouettes that move with me.  I guess I’m attracted to the most “skirt-like” pants out there.

These wide leg trousers from River Island are high-waisted and I love the fit.  It accentuates my waist as if I were wearing a high-waisted maxi skirt.

Summer is in full swing and that means humid days, afternoon storms and even more humid nights.  So as I drown in the Florida humidity at least I can attempt to appear cool, calm, collected and cute in this floral print dress.

If you’ve followed my blog for any amount of time you probably quickly discovered that I’m a dress > pants kinda girl.

Let’s face it, in this heat it’s a miracle I’m wearing any clothing at all!

Sweets dreams are made of this: darling and dramatic statement pieces that are perfect for spring and summer that give runway vibes.  I’m sure you’ve had this dream too.  

I took this amazing ruffled asymmetrical skirt that has been hanging in my closet for months, into a real world wearable outfit that brings the drama – the only kind I want in my life.

It’s pretty easy to understand why I love this skirt.

How incredibly cute is this skirt?!  I had literal heart eyes (insert heart eye emoji) when I first saw it!

I mean it’s THE lemon skirt or all lemon skirts and it happens to pair amazingly well with emerald green, making it the perfect colorful ensemble for the fun fashion extrovert.

Since you will be basically be impersonating citrus when wearing this skirt be prepared to be stared at.

Some people will dig it and others not so much…

But as long as you love your lemons than who cares?!

You all know that there isn’t a polka dotted printed anything that I can pass up.  I buy notebooks, napkins, scarves, plates, luggage all with the forever classically cute spotted print and this dress was no exception.

This dress is simple and classic with it’s super flattering and flowy A-line silhouette.

The additional touches of the shirred shoulder details and flirty V-neck and a feminine and fun to great transitional piece for Spring.
