<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hello Friends!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes, it's been a very long time! I took a pretty long break for personal reasons and I honestly wasn't sure if I would come back. But I missed my blog because it's an outlet for me and it's something that I really enjoy. I'll probably do about about it in future. But today is my Blogiversary and it's been 4 years!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I honestly don't know where to start, I wasn't sure if I would celebrate this Blogiversary but this past weekend I was having dinner with my friend and my blog came up and I told her how I missed blogging and how my anniversary was next week. She immediately said that she will take my picture since I was already dressed up for our dinner. We busted a mission to look for something with a 4 on it and ended up at Michael's and got this little tag and some chalk.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I kind of did something that your not suppose to do as a blogger but since it was an impromptu shoot, I took pictures at night time. The pictures aren't what I'm used to but they came out ok and I'm so thankful for my friend who helped boost up my confidence that day to get me to take these pictures. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I don't want to get into detail but one of the reasons I wasn't blogging was because I kind of lost my confidence and didn't feel good enough to blog. It's like I'm starting all over again but I'm slowly regaining my confidence back. I think I just let my inner demons get the best of me and I'm not going to keep me down. So i'm making this my first step back into my blog</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So usually during my Blogiversary I list down my goals for my blog and talk about the goals I had last year. Well I looked over my goals last year and I improved a little on them but really and I'm OK with it because honestly this past year was one of the hardest for me in all of my blogging years, it was just a constant struggle. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This year I want to keep my previous goals and also to enjoy blogging again and have fun with it. I feel like I lost that, so I want to bring that joy back. I feel like to do this, I need to challenge myself with different kinds of posts and to keep pushing myself fashion wise. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hello Friends!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Holiday season is always crazy for me but for some reason this year it went by too quick that I didn't even get time to enjoy the season. So sorry for the lack of season inspired posts, my life has been too crazy this year, I'm ready for 2017! Today's post I'm working with the OC plus Bloggers again and were talking about my favorite kind of shoes, boots! I love boots but finding wide calf boots that fit can be hard, so today we are all sharing about different pairs of wide calf boots from Avenue! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know I've said this on my blog before but I love boots and I own more boots then any other type of shoe, I'm just drawn to them because they are so much more comfortable to me then any other shoe. I actually wear boots all year round, so I can't really say yay it's boots season because I always wear boots. When I lived in the Philippines which is a tropical island, I had a pair of knee high boots I wore even though it was hot outside because they were my favorite and didn't care if people thought I was weird. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">With that you can tell I really do love boots but finding a good pair can be hard because I have wide calves. The struggle is real when looking for a pair, I would try boots that said wide calf but would not be able to zipper them up or pull them up past my calves. One thing that came in handy in finding a good wide calf boot is knowing your calf size, my calf is 18 inches. You can easily find out yours by measuring your calf area with a tape measure. Knowing your calf size can help when finding wide calf boots because a lot of them have a circumference measurement which is the calf size. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now when I was looking at boots at Avenue the first thing I looked at was the circumference to see if the boots would fit my calves. All of the boots that I looked at had approximately 18 inch circumferences which was good for me since my calves are 18. I ended up choosing the Joey Tassel Healed boots because I've been wanting a pair of tall heeled boots and these looked really cute. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now all of the boots at Avenue are wide width and wide calf, so when you get a wide width shoes you should size down, I'm a size 8 usually but I sized down to a 7 because they didn't have a 7 1/2 and it fits me perfectly. I was nervous they wouldn't fit but I was surprised how well they actually fit me. The calf area fits just right but the top of the boots are a little loose on me but I think that's just the way they are. I tried these boots with jeans and they fit great. I actually don't own a pair of boots that I can wear with jeans because they are all so tight they don't fit over my jeans, so I'm happy these actually fit over my jeans. I also really love the little tassels in the back, I think they are cute little touch. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So aside from the boots can I tell you how much I love this sweater that I'm wearing! I actually saw this sweater on a mannequin before but they didn't have my size but the day I hung out with the OC plus bloggers I stopped by another Old Navy that I passed on my way home and they had it and it was 50% off. I took it as a sign that it was meant to be and I got it and I've been wearing it a lot ever since. Do you ever think that when your shopping, when you see something you didn't get and then you see it again its on sale and your size, do think it's a sign its meant your for?

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I really am happy with the boots because you can wear them with a lot of different things and they can be worn dressed up or dressed down. They are also very comfortable, I really like the chunky heel because it's comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. If you looking for some wide calf boots I definitely suggest checking out Avenue, plus a lot of the boots are on sale right now too! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So the weekend before Thanksgiving I met up with some OC plus size bloggers to eat, hang out and take pictures. It feels so good to meet bloggers and talk about blogging, the ups and the downs and it's good to know that others go through the same thing you so. Since we took pictures we decided to so a group collaboration for fall because we were all dressed up in fall attire! </span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Fall in California is a little different because it can feel like summer, so when the weather cools down everyone including myself gets really excited to wear fall clothes. My fall basics consist of boots and a jacket because those are my favorite things to wear. Boots are just so comfortable to wear and jackets are great to add a little something to outfits. What's your favorite thing to wear in the fall? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My favorite jacket trend right now has to be bomber jackets, I really love this mauve one I got from Forever 21+, the color is so pretty. I had to size up in this jacket because the arm part was tight on me but other than that it fit great. I'm loving bomber jackets right now but I'm trying to convince myself I don't need more colors. But I'm looking into getting a printed one because I think it would be a great in my closet because I have a lot of plain things. Do you know any place where I can get a cute printed one? I'd love suggestions! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">You can't tell in my other photos that I'm wearing a jumper because of my jacket so the girls told me I should take some pictures with it off. That's one thing I really appreciated about taking pictures with the girls they gave me advice on pictures and helped fix my hair, it's so different when I take pictures with my tripod because its just me and the camera. This post has a few more pictures then I usually have in posts because for the first time I had so many pictures that I liked and it was hard choosing which ones to use. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Boots are my favorite kind of shoes, I have more pairs of boots then any other kind of shoes in my closet. I'm not sure why I'm so attracted to them but I rather buy a pair of boots then heels, or flats or any other type of shoes. But on the other hand boots can be hard for me to find, especially the ones that go over the calf part. Finding wide calf boots can be hard so when I find ones that fit I get them because I don't know when I'll find another pair. I was lucky to find this pair from Wet seal + a few years ago, I bought this pair online and wasn't sure if it would fit so I was so happy when they did.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let me tell you about the OC plus size bloggers that I met up with, it all started when Bianca left a message on instagram about how she was moving to the OC and then people started tagging different OC bloggers. That's how it all started and then Jeanne, who I've collaborated with set up our first get together where we ate and talked. Veronica is the one that set up this last one and we went to somewhere called the Anaheim Packing District which is a really cool place to go, it has tons of different food and lots of places to take pictures. I really enjoyed hanging out with them and I'm looking forward to the next one. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hello Hello! </i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I was suppose to do an OOTD for Thanksgiving but I was running late and I didn't have time to take photos before or after. So I'm giving you another OOTD, from the other day when I met up with some high school friends and it was raining, so rainy day outfit is what you get! </span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">To everyone that celebrated Thankgiving I hope you had a good one. Since it was Thanksgiving, one my friends was in town so a few of us got together to hang out and catch up. I didn't know it was going to rain because it was sunny when I left the house but it started pouring when we were together, so my outfit might not be the best for a rainy day. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So these are my current favorite boots, I love boots, I have more boots then any other kind of shoes! So because I have a lot of boots I told myself I wouldn't buy any this year but I saw this pair on clearance at Old Navy for only $15 and I couldn't pass it up! I'm glad I didn't because I love them. My mom use to say to me when I go shopping "If you want it, get it because it might not be there next time," my mom and I are shoppers though so it might not be the best advice but it was right in this case! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought this dress to step out of my comfort zone because it's a body con and it's striped. I have grown to really love this dress but the day I wore this I had a little voice in my head that said, "You shouldn't wear that,"and I doubt it for a second. But when that happens I push away the negative thoughts and try to fill it with positive ones and remind myself how much I like the dress. There are always going to be those days were your old negative thoughts come back but it's ok just don't let them get the best of you. I know sometimes you just need to remind yourself. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hey Friends!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">October is coming to an end which means my Filipino American History Month series is ending as well. So I wanted to end the month with an outfit post, last year I styled a traditional barong. (<a href="http://curvymod.blogspot.com/2015/10/celebrating-my-heritage-in-barong.html">here</a>) This year, I actually asked my aunt in the Philippines to send me something traditional that I could wear and she sent me an Ifugao tapis which is generally a rectangular piece of cloth that is hand woven and is usually worn wrapped around as a skirt. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8wik3Xg86mDnMOnxoe3S0on5ORa-SgnkEa7PxQjx0BIexOChK-NX9lhfS6GHIdom4MLUswYYA8F3ero8B5Sqp8841vKeKd13ZmD7PRDJwkkBt-OY2K7z_Q6XktFb0KjBUpa58IxQrH0q9/s1600/ifugao5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8wik3Xg86mDnMOnxoe3S0on5ORa-SgnkEa7PxQjx0BIexOChK-NX9lhfS6GHIdom4MLUswYYA8F3ero8B5Sqp8841vKeKd13ZmD7PRDJwkkBt-OY2K7z_Q6XktFb0KjBUpa58IxQrH0q9/s640/ifugao5.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So like I said the material is an Ifugao tapis made in Ifugao which is province in the Philippines in the Cordillera region. Women in the Philippines used this material as skirts before Europe colonizers but it is still worn by some ingenious tribes today. The way its suppose to be worn is knee length and is wrapped around your waist and held together with a sash. It was actually too long for me so I decided to wear it was dress to give it a modern twist. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKsW8iMZ7s73vkeJ-QuBQVRptRYugiQMcnNEBN4_vyqdxq-4Iy5NfrVrnx5cKyRVNF0n5Sys0s6jyJEeGShNTO2zL9CncmSJL-FBxu4sa0JzBGtZnQqRCQoC0yB8bEdzjXnkVZh0dEWjt/s1600/ifugao6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKsW8iMZ7s73vkeJ-QuBQVRptRYugiQMcnNEBN4_vyqdxq-4Iy5NfrVrnx5cKyRVNF0n5Sys0s6jyJEeGShNTO2zL9CncmSJL-FBxu4sa0JzBGtZnQqRCQoC0yB8bEdzjXnkVZh0dEWjt/s640/ifugao6.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The fabric is actually held together with bobby pins in the back but I think it looks cute as a dress, so I might have my mom sew it together. But the material is really thick so I'm not sure if my mom will be able to sew it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They say that the weaving pattern of the material describes the culture and the temperament of the tribe of the person who made it. I'm not sure about the one I have because my aunt just bought it for me at store but I think that it's really interesting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKsW8iMZ7s73vkeJ-QuBQVRptRYugiQMcnNEBN4_vyqdxq-4Iy5NfrVrnx5cKyRVNF0n5Sys0s6jyJEeGShNTO2zL9CncmSJL-FBxu4sa0JzBGtZnQqRCQoC0yB8bEdzjXnkVZh0dEWjt/s1600/ifugao6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="488" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBKsW8iMZ7s73vkeJ-QuBQVRptRYugiQMcnNEBN4_vyqdxq-4Iy5NfrVrnx5cKyRVNF0n5Sys0s6jyJEeGShNTO2zL9CncmSJL-FBxu4sa0JzBGtZnQqRCQoC0yB8bEdzjXnkVZh0dEWjt/s640/ifugao6.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I decided to style it in a modern way but kept it simple to show off the beautiful fabric. I put on a regular jean jacket and some ankle booties in a nude color, so that the colors in the fabric shine on their own. </span></div>

The first time I saw her was through one of her videos that a friend had posted and then she commented on one of my pictures on instagram. So I started following her, and she post some of the funniest things that are so relateable to the Filipino culture. So of coarse I reached out to her to be one of my #WCW and she agreed which made me so happy, so find out more about her in the article! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was born on an Air Force Base in Turkey to an
American dad and a Filipina mom. We
moved to the Philippines to live on Clark Air Force Base when I was 3 and left
for the States when I was 6. My mom is
from Pampanga so I got to spend a lot of time with my family off base, at the
barrio. Even though it was a short time,
I vividly remember going to the sari-sari store with my cousins, swimming with
the caribou and eating fresh sugar cane from my Apu’s (Grandma’s) farm. When we left for the States and my dad
retired from the military, we settled in a little Virginia town. I was there from 1<sup>st</sup> grade to age 22
when I left for California and have been here ever since. I like to say I grew up in Virginia and
matured in California.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What’s your favorite thing about being
Filipino-American?</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I get the best of both worlds! I’m so honored to have lived there and seen
with my own eyes the difference between the Philippines and the US. In the Philippines, the technology is not as
advanced. People still plant crops by
hand, use water buffalos to sow fields, use sickles to cut crops while working
12-16 hours a day. A lot of hard, manual
labor still fuels many families. Here,
you can hold a sign for $10 an hour and on your way home complain about how
your Starbucks coffee wasn’t sweet enough.
My point is hearing my mom’s stories of when she was younger and having
family there, make me truly appreciate who I am and where I come from. My Filipino side keeps my American side
humble. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">How has being Filipino-American influenced your
life?</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Growing up in Virginia, there were no other
Filipinos around. No other mixed, Fil-Am
kids like myself. I was never white
enough for the white kids or black enough for the black kids. It wasn’t until I moved out to San Diego when
I was 22, that I found Fil-Am communities.
In Virginia, I was just ‘the brown girl’. Being Filipino-American has become who I am
and has given me a place to belong. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 42.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">How did you start making videos on YouTube?</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I used to send silly videos to my cousins and
friends to tell stories. Texting takes
too long and you can’t get the dramatic suspense through text like you can in a
video. I love making my friends and
family laugh. I had a silly idea for a
song and sent the idea to my cousins to think of lines. With their help, I came up with the lyrics to
my parody song about Filipino food called, Pinoy Pood. It’s a parody of Meghan Trainor’s, All About
That Bass. I also do voice overs so I
have a little home studio. I recorded
the song, just for fun and sent it back to my cousins. They loved it so I started sharing it with my
friends. I have a friend that owns a
production company and he suggested we shoot a music video for it. I thought it was silly at first but thought
it would be a fun video my family and I could cherish and laugh about. Once we shot the video, he suggested I put it
on YouTube and Facebook. I never thought
so many people would get it and enjoy it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Where do you get in inspiration for your videos?</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I definitely refer to my family a lot. I draw a lot from personal experiences. I see it as storytelling. A story a lot of us share, like the stick
broom. All of our mom’s had one growing
up. And it doesn’t matter what new
gadget comes out to sweep floors, my mom and Auntie’s will NEVER give up their
stick broom and swear it cleans the floors the best. Or how there’s no letter ‘F’ in the
Philippines. That’s why my Apu (Grandma)
couldn’t pronounce my childhood pet’s name, Taffy. I like to share stories and experiences that
a lot of people can relate to! It’s
almost like a brotherhood or secret camaraderie we have with other’s when we
can communicate only using our eyebrows and lips. I love it.
There is a fine line though, I never want to be offensive or make
fun. I never want to come across as
being mean-spirited. I always try to present
my material as celebrating our culture. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">On your YouTube channel I see you have tried
different types of Lumpia’s which one is your favorite?</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Cheese is my weakness. I would have to say one of my favorite
creations was the Bacon, Mac & Cheese lumpia. It was buttery and gooey with the salt from
the bacon, just right. I also adore
Ube. I did one with Ube Kalamay &
macapuno strings. Amazing. The ube is not too sweet. I defiantly have more of the Filipino palate
because I don’t like a lot of sweet stuff.
So the ube mixed with the jelly texture of the coconut was
fantastic. I actually just made a new flavor
yesterday. Pumpkin pie lumpia! I’m working on a video for that one as
well.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would love to keep making videos and content for
my Filipino-American community. I love
sharing my culture as well as showing people new things. Recently, I had some Latino friends try balut
and bagoong for the first time. Filipino
food is coming up and becoming more and more popular. I want to be a part of the movement. I want to help make Filipino food mainstream,
even if it’s 1 crazy, craft lumpia flavor at a time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My Apu is the strongest woman I ever knew. When she was 14 she had to wear boy’s
clothing to prevent from being raped by Japanese soldiers. She raised her 7 children all by herself, all
on her own. She helped raised all her
grand kids, lived with us a couple years here and there so we all knew her and
were very close to her. She spoke no
English but understood everything. I
have a tattoo on my arm that symbolizes her and I wear it on my sleeve so that
I’m reminded that she is a strong woman and if my Apu could build and care for
such a strong and loving family all on her own, I am her granddaughter and I
can do ANYTHING.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Have you ever faced any adversities as a Filipina
in America and if you have how did you overcome them?</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes I still face adversities on a daily
basis. It’s a little opposite, it’s more
like as an American to the Filipinos. When
people look at me, they usually think I’m Hawaiian or Mexican. I was telling someone I work with that I was
going to be a guest on a Fil-Am talk show called: Kababayan Today. He said, ‘Why? You’re not Filipino’. I was like, ‘Uh, yeah I am. I’m Filipino & American’. And then he called me a fake Filipino. That has always kind of struck a chord with
me. Growing up, I was always worried
that I wasn’t ‘Filipino enough.’ I speak
some Kapampangan but I’m not fluent. I
eat adobo but not dinuguan or tuyo. That
was my biggest fear when I first started making videos, that I wouldn’t be
‘Filipino enough’ and that I’m too big to be accepted by the community. Since making videos, I’ve been embraced and
welcomed to the community. That has
helped me overcome my insecurities and I see now that we all share the same
thing. We are all proud of our culture
and so happy to support anything that showcases it. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Always
keep moving forward. Even if it’s a step
at a time, an inch at a time, just keep moving forward. You can never learn too much about what you
love. Whether it’s an online course, a
workshop, a YouTube video, you need to know as much as you can in what you want
to pursue so you know what to expect.
Sometimes I get frustrated because I haven’t landed that dream voice
over job yet but I have to take a step back and look at what all the baby steps
over the past year has added up to.
Looking at the big picture can be overwhelming. It’s good to have that in sight but I like to
look at the small conquests. As long as
you don’t give up and keep putting one foot in front of the other, you’ll get
there and all those small conquests will add up to something amazing!<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

the fact that you can express yourself with something as basic as clothes.
After I graduated from UNLV, I applied to FIDM in San Francisco. I never
thought I would get in, but I did. I rented out my house and packed my bags and
never looked back. Upon completion of FIDM, I landed a job in SF's fashion
industry specializing in Plus Size Women's Apparel. From there, I just kept on
working, learning and experiencing more and more each day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the mainstream light, but there still is not enough choices out there, so I
launched my line of Plus Petite clothing. Please feel free to check it out!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Do you remember me saying I have some fun things planed for the blog in October? Well it's October and it's Pilipino/Filipino American History Month also know as PAHM/FAHM. I have been wanting to celebrate this month in some way on the blog because I'm really proud of my heritage and it's such a big part of who I am. Last year I styled a Filipino barong for an outfit, (<a href="http://curvymod.blogspot.com/2015/10/celebrating-my-heritage-in-barong.html">here</a>) and this year I'm doing something a little different, every Wednesday I'm going to do a Women Crush Wednesday #WCW and feature an amazing Filipino-American women, this week I'm featuring Joanne Boston, continue reading to learn more about her.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So the first #WCW for October is Joanne, she started following me on instagram and I followed her back. Then I saw her post about something called Filipino Food Movement which showcases Filipino food and thought it was amazing what she was doing with this movement. I really love how she is helping showcase Filipino food and bringing it to the masses and letting people know what its all about and I find that inspiring which is why I asked if I could feature her on my blog and she said yes! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I always knew I was Filipino since I was a kid. Ilocano
was spoken to me by my grandparents and family throughout my childhood.
Filipino dishes like pinakbet, tinola and balatong were common at our kitchen
table. I also believe that because I am a daughter of an immigrant, I saw
things from a unique perspective. I was used to the hundreds of family members
coming to the house for random visits. And those hundreds of visitors always
brought food! I saw all the celebrations complete with giants platters of ulam,
purple ube cakes and karaoke. I saw how hard my mom and aunts and uncles worked
in blue collar jobs to get by and to send money back to the Philippines. My
life now has been influenced by both Filipino customs and the American way.
It's interesting to be part of two different cultures. I am a cross between
adobong manok and a McChicken sandwich! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I have embraced being Filipino-American and it was
pretty easy to do so because I went to a high school which was predominantly
Filipino in Daly City. We all had that in common and it was never hard for us
to express our "Filipino-ness." In fact, my schools, both high school
and college encouraged us to explore that side of us - which I am so grateful
for. Being a Filipino-American to me means that we know the struggle of our
elders and we will do what it takes to make them proud. Immigrant families went
through tough times just for us to have a future here. We feel indebted to them
and because of that, many of us are striving to validate their choice for
coming here in the first place and show them it was worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">While I have never been discriminated against BECAUSE I
was a Filipina, I have been because of my appearance. In high school, majority
of us were Filipino and I was never in a scenario where I was scared I wouldn't
fit in anywhere. Not all my friends were Filipino either, so I am grateful that
my group of friends accepted one other regardless of what ethnicity we were.
However, I did feel I was shafted at times because I was not the
"right" type of Filipina. I call it the Maria Clara effect. I'm
short, I have darker tan skin, I am plus-sized, I have a wider nose, I have
more junk in the trunk...and the glove compartment...and the center console.
The "ideal" image of a Filipina is long, black hair, porcelain skin,
thin stature, aquiline nose, and the grace and poise of a queen. Imelda Marcos.
Even looking at the superstars in Philippine showbiz, there is no way I would
fit in. Even so, I do not want to change any part of me. I know that my work
experience and quirky personality are great just the way they are. I never used
my appearance as a way to get ahead. Even today, I always find ways to better
myself and experience life in my own way. I do tons of solo trips and
excursions. I told myself that the best person I can be with is myself. Once I
learned that, I was more comfortable in my own skin and doing things on my own
and accomplishing things on my own. San Francisco is the perfect place to do
that because it's such a walkable City and there is always something to do and
see out here! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I like to say that the "Filipino Food
Movement" are two entities - one being the non-profit I am involved with
and two being the collective effort that chefs, restaurants, media and food
lovers participate in. Basically anyone and everyone can be part of the
Filipino food movement. I am one of the board of directors right now and I
manage social media for the Filipino Food Movement platforms such as Facebook
and Instagram. I post 4-5 food photos that are from homecooks, eaters and
chefs. Each day is different and it is so amazing to see all the feedback -
they range from "omg" to "I miss this" to "ew
#sorrynotsorry" to "@soinso when do you wanna get this?" Not
everyone can be pleased with the photos, but that's the reality of Filipino
food. People who love it already will always love it and people who are new to
it ask questions about the certain dishes to get educated. Many people ask for
recipes. Others just like the food porn because it reminds them of their
childhoods. This movement is such a beautiful thing because it has resulted in
some of the most fantastic collaborations I have ever seen. Chefs and food
enthusiasts are traveling to different cities and countries just to cook
Filipino food. The camaraderie and the dishes that result from these meetings
are remarkable. This shows me that these chefs want to advance our people and
to give Filipino food the image that we have always seen but has never been
appreciated by other cultures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

festivals remind me of how proud people are to be Filipino. I see so many
people wearing their Philippine colors and shirts with the flag's sun and
stars. I see them congregating over pulutan and beer. I see them praying over
the food. I see them talking chismis when they roll lumpia. I just love how
family-oriented our people are. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

She's Superwoman. I also admire Michelle Obama because she empowers women of

herself so well. I love how eloquent she is while having a sense of humor.

Work-wise, I would love to open a Filipino food resource center in Daly City -
where I live currently. Daly City is also known as "Little Manila" or
"Manilatown" because of the dense Filipino population. I think this
would be a perfect place for a resource center where people can learn about the
history and techniques of Filipino cooking. My dream is to have a library
filled with cookbooks and Filipino food publications, a drive-through window
where rotating chefs can sell one or two of their signature dishes, and a
multi-purpose room where we can hold events and workshops. Also a spit for
roasting a pig would be just awesome. Just a place where the community can come
together and learn and eat with each other. By the time someone leaves the
center, I want their bellies and minds satisfied and wanting for more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

where you second-guess yourself and wonder why you are still doing what you're
doing - especially if things seem stagnant. I have been doing community work
for over 10 years now, and throughout the ten years, I was working full-time
and going to school. My community work isn't my full-time day job, but I love
it so much that I cannot stop doing it. I hope that my work in the Filipino
community does become my main source of income in the future. It will be hard
and at times it would feel that there are only 12 hours in a day rather than
24, but keep pushing. It is also very important to keep learning. Education is
so important for growth. I still like going to seminars, classes, and
workshops. The more you learn, the better your odds of finding inspiration and
conjuring up new ideas. But most importantly, just do you. Think about what you
want to accomplish and believe in yourself. If you see yourself doing it, you
can make it happen. Don't let anyone's negativity bring you down. You know you
the best. BUT! There will be people who will disagree with you or just be plain
mean. It's vital to have a support system who will keep you on track - mentors,
people within your community or industry, or even friends and family not
associated with your work who can take you out for a breather when things get
overwhelming. Finding balance will keep your mental health at peace.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hey friends, can you believe it's already October? October is my birthday month and I have a lot of stuff that planned for this month which I'm really excited about. But yeah today's post, is another review from the Eloquii petite's line and this time it's a jacket. If you didn't see my last post you can see it (<a href="http://curvymod.blogspot.com/2016/09/eloquii-petites-review.html">here</a>).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So jacket's are another item I have a hard time finding for myself because usually the sleeves and the jacket itself are too long for me. So I thought that a jacket would be a good thing to try from the petites line. I decided to get this cape like jacket because I've always wanted one but the sleeves have always been way too long and I felt like I was swimming in the jackets. Which is why I thought trying a jacket from the petites line would be a good choice. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I decided to go with this tie waist cape jacket and I decided to go with a 14P on the jacket because I felt like it would fit me. I'm glad I didn't size up because the 14P fits me really well, I was surprised how well it fit. The shoulders is a part that can either be too long for me or too tight and the shoulders part was just right on me. The length of the sleeves are a bit long but I think that's the way it is suppose to be because it's the same was on the model in the picture. So overall the jacket fit great and would definitely recommend if your looking for a cape jacket but are in the petite category. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the design of the Jacket because it has a tie waist because a lot of cape jacket I've seen just fall open or they have buttons. I like the way it looks when it's tied. I also really love the material because it's heavy material but it isn't too heavy which is good for California because it doesn't get that cold here. I think it's a great jacket to wear with a dress or to help add a little something to an outfit. I know I will be wearing this jacket a lot when the weather cools down. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know it's been way too long and life just got in the way but I've got some fun things planned for October so look out for that because I'm really excited. So one of my biggest problems with plus size clothing is it's so long on me because I'm only 5'2 and a lot of clothes are made for taller women. So I'm always looking for clothing that can fit my petite size which brings me today's post. <a href="http://www.eloquii.com/">Eloquii</a> just released a petites line and I have something from the line to review for you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So when I was younger I thought petite meant small so I never thought I would ever use that word to describe myself. But when now that I'm older I learned that petite in sizes means someone that is shorter then a 5'4 which actually describes me. But when I would look at petite clothing I found out none of the clothes were in my size. So I always ended up getting clothing and then having to get it fixed to fit me. So when I found out <a href="http://www.eloquii.com/">Eloquii</a> was making a petite line I was so excited.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So if you haven't heard of <a href="http://www.eloquii.com/">Eloquii</a> before they are a private company based in New York and Columbus Ohio. The design clothing in sizes 12 - 24. On there website it says "We love fashion. We believe in it's transformative power." I remember hearing about them before when they used to be in a store called the limited but then the brand decided to stop carrying the line. They are now an independent brand of it's own that creates trend-driven and contemporary clothing. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I'm wearing an item from Eloquii's petite line, you can see the line (<a href="https://www.eloquii.com/plus-size-petites">here</a>) and I got this cute preppy fit and flare dress. (<a href="https://www.eloquii.com/plus-size-petites#pos=27">here</a>) I decided to get a dress because I love the preppy vibes of the dress. I love black and white but have been trying to incorporate more color and this dress is such a great way to do it </span></div>

So one of the problems I have with dresses is they can be really long on me and I always have to get them hemmed shorter, so I decided to give a dress in this line a try. The dress on the websites model falls just above the knee and which is exactly where it falls for me, which is amazing because like I said dresses usually longer on me and I have to get them hemmed, yay for not having to do anything to the dress. So I have to say that it's great fit as far as the length of the dress is concerned. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for the dress, I read online that the dress ran a little small so I decided to size up in this dress, I got a 16P and it fits pretty well on me. The dress is made of scuba knit fabric which has some stretch to it but not too much which is why it's a little snug on top but I think it's suppose to be that way. The dress is really comfortable and I you could totally wear the dress into cooler weather with a sweater or a jacket.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
All in all I love the dress and I'm glad that there is a new place to get petites in plus sizes. The line isn't that big right now but I'm hoping one day that they will offer more of the styles on the website in petite sizes. </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I know I've been really MIA this summer things have been crazy for me. I'm trying to get re-inspired but I do have a few things planned for the blog so you can look forward to that. I'm looking forward to cooler weather because I'm so over the warm weather. It's still pretty hot here in California but it's cooling down at night. Are you ready for fall/winter? </span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I had some Kohl's cash that I needed to spend before they expired and I was able to pick this super cute dress from Lauren Conrad. I really like her clothes but the sizes don't always fit me so when I was looking at her clothes I automatically fell in love with this dress. Has that ever happened to you, when your shopping you see something and just love it? That happens to me a lot but usually the clothes don't come in my size so I was surprised they had this in an XL. So I had to get it and it's my first item ever from Lauren Conrad and I'm really happy with it.<br />

I just love the floral print and the pleats in the skirt part of the dress. Now the belt that came with the dress didn't fit me, which usually happens to me, so I added my own belt. </div>

I added a jean jacket because it was actually chilly when I took this but it's also my favorite way to transition a dress from summer to fall. But I think I might try the new trend of wearing a shirt inside of the dress, I think that might work well this dress. </div>

So I'm 5'2 and I'm not really a fan of wearing a midi length clothes because I feel like they make me look short. My mom told me if I wear something this length I have to wear heels to make me look taller and I have to agree it helps a lot, so thanks mom! </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hey Friends!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I can't believe it's already August, summer has been really crazy for me. This post is a little late but, better late then never right?! Well a while back my friends and I had a tie-dye party, we've been wanting to do it for awhile and we finally had one. It was actually really fun and I enjoyed it, I wish I had more things to tie-dye. Well today I'm showing you how I the process of how I tie-dyed my shirt as well as an outfit with the top. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So when I found out we were having the tie-dye party, I started looking on pinterest for different things that can tie-dye and the different techniques. I originally wanted to do a t-shirt dress but I couldn't find one so I decided to do a regular tank top. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfT_GwuYqKhk4zb2lxJop7nemT802Q-yhDgniyFSr49Gu0DNMxW15WuCabsKFL9zOirvVvcZx7I2iIqJGbL2aSLL-aMZMD6TEbb8uDu3fyyEV34KJSX3bNvM3hPKqs2cN-3iuj6_qzoT96/s1600/tiedye1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfT_GwuYqKhk4zb2lxJop7nemT802Q-yhDgniyFSr49Gu0DNMxW15WuCabsKFL9zOirvVvcZx7I2iIqJGbL2aSLL-aMZMD6TEbb8uDu3fyyEV34KJSX3bNvM3hPKqs2cN-3iuj6_qzoT96/s640/tiedye1.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Their were a ton of different techniques on different ways to tie-dye, a lot of them aren't even pictured above. But I wanted to do something simple so I decided to go with the crumple technique because it was simple and I liked how they looked. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiukgFddKKQgrDd9l9FlSWJBrplSoV-rYsrfzhBKivXZKQUgZczNGchmsqwqDwmnhcSnpwrFUuEQ2GLhNEwrvbi03edZP17F2GF-_WrhS86jzOdJFaW-KIjwSijcGoELcgZmGHdMsSKLnoV/s1600/tiedye5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiukgFddKKQgrDd9l9FlSWJBrplSoV-rYsrfzhBKivXZKQUgZczNGchmsqwqDwmnhcSnpwrFUuEQ2GLhNEwrvbi03edZP17F2GF-_WrhS86jzOdJFaW-KIjwSijcGoELcgZmGHdMsSKLnoV/s640/tiedye5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So above is the process of making my tie-dye, I just crumpled up my tank and then started pouring similar colors all around. I used a dark pink and purple and then I started to add some turquoise just for fun. I could have put more color bu I wanted some white spots to show so I didn't put as much dye on. After I covered it in plastic wrap and let it sit until the next day and I washed it out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4f2AtaSI8a0ZmLOJlEFgggQ3JvbVGm1FgS9uvu6nvKOlmjJi3ZAA1eF9nSjqLJeA-gORMR3Mpl0jZGxF5xrYlWGESEwQjbmiMmEGV3wIKVrQVzz1YRjO25Zb2CEJAXEllgRhPvuIQcwbO/s1600/tiedye6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4f2AtaSI8a0ZmLOJlEFgggQ3JvbVGm1FgS9uvu6nvKOlmjJi3ZAA1eF9nSjqLJeA-gORMR3Mpl0jZGxF5xrYlWGESEwQjbmiMmEGV3wIKVrQVzz1YRjO25Zb2CEJAXEllgRhPvuIQcwbO/s640/tiedye6.jpg" width="484" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
So the picture above is the end result and I really liked the way it came out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdlzQq7CjHrBhCzGFepG97fTUl0q2TCJLDmGES8h1hd_gCNWaZU644iKUvhwtD4NmBxhFqyZE3jIVguWl9JZbuT8-zNO498KbCpSc0QcQRygMmvln6BPJyYCBJGITlpK6THFnA3Ihaw9_v/s1600/tiedie6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdlzQq7CjHrBhCzGFepG97fTUl0q2TCJLDmGES8h1hd_gCNWaZU644iKUvhwtD4NmBxhFqyZE3jIVguWl9JZbuT8-zNO498KbCpSc0QcQRygMmvln6BPJyYCBJGITlpK6THFnA3Ihaw9_v/s640/tiedie6.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So if you look at stores right now their are a ton of things that are tie-dye, dresses, skirts, rompers and so on. But when you think of tie-dye you usually think of the hippie or boho kind of style, so I thought why not change it around and try it with another style. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
So when putting the outfit together I reached for this new bomber jacket I got from forever 21+ because I'm totally in love with it right now. I have been wanting one for a long time and I was at the mall and I feel in love with the color of this one, I was trying to decide between this one and the army green one but I liked this taupe color so much more. The jacket is currently on sale, but if your thinking of getting one, keep in mind I had to size up on the jacket and it's still a little snug on my arms but I don't mind it. You can buy the jacket (<a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=532693533&pid=uid3044-34163362-44">here</a>). </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I'm in love with this outfit and I love how all the colors come together. The outfit is a little sporty and a little girly which is a great combination. And I don't get the whole boho vibe from this outfit which is what I wanted to do. Do you think I did a good job of making tie-dye not boho? Have you ever tie-dyed before? What do you think of tie-dye? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hello Beauties!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope your all doing well, Summer has been so crazy for me but I'm enjoying it. I hope your all enjoying your summer or whatever season your in. As for me I got my eyes checked recently and they increased a lot and I usually just get contacts because glasses can be so expensive. I haven't gotten new glasses for almost 6 years and my eyes have changed so much I needed new ones. So I researched different places online and I decided to go with <a href="https://www.eyebuydirect.com/">eyebuydirect.com </a>because they had cute glasses but also were affordable. Continue reading to see my review of the website. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw_Quh5jkL1slTJWVXl1fFLzCnuTs1ntPqrgP3lzbGOETBYjGpDxPefVrsvkGCuezSjgBaJofns1ElfV6vbDQZQDYBPQd1EPuo6e4B9jRMhNPkqAJklVGyrW5qVSJucThMfaGJ545n_aE-/s1600/eyebuydirect4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw_Quh5jkL1slTJWVXl1fFLzCnuTs1ntPqrgP3lzbGOETBYjGpDxPefVrsvkGCuezSjgBaJofns1ElfV6vbDQZQDYBPQd1EPuo6e4B9jRMhNPkqAJklVGyrW5qVSJucThMfaGJ545n_aE-/s640/eyebuydirect4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So first of all I want to say that I bought these glasses with my own money and I was not sponsored by this website. I just wanted to share my experience with the website, so that if you were thinking of getting new glasses you might want to try it out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now when I went on the website I looked at all the frames and I narrowed it down to a few of my favorites. They have something on the website where you can upload a picture and see how you look with the glasses on. I did it below with my top 3 pairs of glasses, after trying them on virtually I was undecided between the first two glasses but I decided on the first ones! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5-Gd1Ng6QvseT8vHIDVoqydYwIxirrXhnf6qXIuplnkPZ4k9PZ-luOoOj5oyibAC_u2dCuj8l20KtgOPH5IlzcDgoxDOCFP1VXgDnUqbzecyoF1-7lmTqhDrFXaFJAVUWHgGg57HVK-06/s1600/eyebuydirect5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5-Gd1Ng6QvseT8vHIDVoqydYwIxirrXhnf6qXIuplnkPZ4k9PZ-luOoOj5oyibAC_u2dCuj8l20KtgOPH5IlzcDgoxDOCFP1VXgDnUqbzecyoF1-7lmTqhDrFXaFJAVUWHgGg57HVK-06/s640/eyebuydirect5.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now after selecting the frames you click on select lenses and then you put in your prescription. After I put in my prescription, it told me the frames I selected were not compatible with my prescription. I was pretty sad because I was so set on the lenses, so then I chose my second pair and again it wasn't compatible with my prescription. So since I had a 3rd favorite I decided to check after feeling upset with the first two not working but the 3rd one actually worked thankfully. So I was glad at least one of frames worked with my prescription.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZC0VuV_kLVaMXsvBLxS-MeGwgH5xUqhJ7-ZKPJCLweroTG7iyC_SZxmEb_oHc6-1X3T1YSz_0GkfiYlSBchKS_k_w5WX4jaRG10rg-p2diHuTJ1Lz_J0fz1-ETG1tzNP4JwhqGdNPuIXx/s1600/eyebuydirect1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZC0VuV_kLVaMXsvBLxS-MeGwgH5xUqhJ7-ZKPJCLweroTG7iyC_SZxmEb_oHc6-1X3T1YSz_0GkfiYlSBchKS_k_w5WX4jaRG10rg-p2diHuTJ1Lz_J0fz1-ETG1tzNP4JwhqGdNPuIXx/s640/eyebuydirect1.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So after choosing my frames and putting in my prescription it's time to chose your lenses. Now I read a few reviews and I also watched a couple of them on youtube as well, so I knew they had $7 lenses and a $30 one. So when I went to chose the type of lenses they only let me choose the $40.95 which is the second most expensive type of lenses. I was pretty upset about this because it didn't let me chose and I had to get the certain one. I understand that I do have a high prescription but the recommendation for that particular lens was for someone with a higher prescription then I had. The recommended lenses for me were the $30 ones but I wasn't able to chose it, so that made me upset. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I really needed glasses so I just got them and they came out to around $70 dollars because I got a case as well, which is really cheap compared to how much I used to pay for glasses. I ordered the glasses on July 7th and I received a confirmation as well as an email saying they were picking out my frames. After that I was expecting to get more emails letting me know when they were sending them, so I was surprised when they showed up in the mail on July 14th one week after ordering it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So after everything I'm actually really happy with the glasses. I'm more of a contact wearing girl because I've been wearing them since high school but I'm really liking my glasses so I might be wearing these more often. I was impressed I actually bought my mom a pair as well. I got her one as an extra pair because she only needs reading glasses, so she got the cheapest frames and the cheapest lenses and they look and work great for her, I think I only spent $12 plus shipping. So I would definitely recommend the website for a pair of glasses that are cheaper then buying from the eye doctor. But if you do have a higher prescription know that your frames will be limited and you will have to pay more for the lenses. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So this summer I've seen so many people wearing white outfits and I was so inspired to do one of my own. I recently picked up this all white maxi in a haul (<a href="http://curvymod.blogspot.com/2016/04/sale-shopping-haul.html">here</a>) and I knew it would be a great item for summer. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I got this dress for only $3.99 on sale at sears and it was the only one left and I don't know about you but I always tell myself, it was meant to be. I think I tell myself that to make me feel better about buying something but who can pass up $3.99 dress. When I showed my mom she said it look old fashioned and you never want to hear that. My mom wanted me to cut it short to make it look younger for me but I told her I just need to style it better. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One great way you can add a little something to an outfit is a hat and I just got this hat for summer. I'm not sure if it actually fits me, I have a hard time finding hats because I have a big head and feel like it might be too small. But I made it work and I don't hate it, what do you think?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I've been wearing this bag a lot this summer, I was looking through some of my mom's old bags and I found this beauty. I remember when I was little we ESPRIT used to be my favorite store to go to and it was the one store I always look forward to go to on black Friday. Unfortunately there aren't anymore ESPRIT stores that I can think of in the United States but I have a lot of memories of the brand from when I was younger. So when I saw this bag it was nostalgic because it brings back so many memories. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I have another story for you about the belt I'm wearing. When I lived in the Philippines I didn't bring much things with me. I had a friend that came and visited me in the Philippines and she gave me some of her clothes including this belt. Now this was her favorite belt and she wasn't sure if she wanted to give it to me but she did. So when she left it with me I knew I had to keep it and it's actually one of my favorite belts that I own. I'm actually surprised she didn't ask for it back. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My mom was surprised on how my outfit came out because she said I made the dress look a lot more modern and stylish, now that is something I rather hear. I definitely believe accessories can take an outfit from drab to fab. Plus getting to wear accessories that have meaning and memories attached to them are always an added benefit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hey friends!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I took a little break because I felt like I needed one. But I'm back and have a few posts planned out for you all coming up. So I don't know about you but summer is in full effect here in California and it's hot. In the summer I love to wear dresses but the one thing that I hate is the chafing, and summer is definitely chaffing season. So when <a href="https://www.sonseewoman.com/">Sonsee</a> contacted me to try out their anti chafing shorts, I thought it would be a perfect time to try them out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH8a2THwaXjHjQU3seKRLpu0XM_Ql47qIi0jhjt7pSRRxLQIJYj74JT9SG4blVdIkyvSV4n1vOLwv0g3VmCXNy3i26yJGb7KSgg3OR331_zgM9-VHo4-7CJvIST8_Twp7DZOsK8wsx7N4O/s1600/sonsee4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH8a2THwaXjHjQU3seKRLpu0XM_Ql47qIi0jhjt7pSRRxLQIJYj74JT9SG4blVdIkyvSV4n1vOLwv0g3VmCXNy3i26yJGb7KSgg3OR331_zgM9-VHo4-7CJvIST8_Twp7DZOsK8wsx7N4O/s640/sonsee4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So chafing or I call it chub rub can be so painful, I usually do two things usually I put deodorant or monistat on and that helps for awhile but it wears off and i usually have to reapply which can be a pain sometimes. So when when I heard about the anti chafing shorts I thought they could be a great alternative. But I was a little skeptical because when it's hot outside the last thing I want to do is put on another pair of clothing. But I thought why not try it because it could be a great alternative. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUu1ibDEXa5BaL3OwBirHEzMUylOvliWOJORxeaPtr1YpooUTV5qCAd0j4r-PIv5zpPbF_5Ssnd1_qXBuQ50x6kK-fX5MjkFItvu55WCz9T0A9OXSsW4TVD5qyDTTYEs8eMJ_tvU4lRX2d/s1600/sonsee6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUu1ibDEXa5BaL3OwBirHEzMUylOvliWOJORxeaPtr1YpooUTV5qCAd0j4r-PIv5zpPbF_5Ssnd1_qXBuQ50x6kK-fX5MjkFItvu55WCz9T0A9OXSsW4TVD5qyDTTYEs8eMJ_tvU4lRX2d/s640/sonsee6.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So if you've never heard of <a href="https://www.sonseewoman.com/">Sonsee</a> before they are a hosiery brand that caters to plus size customers or they like to call them Sonsee-size! I've tried a pair of sonsee tights (</span><a href="http://curvymod.blogspot.com/2015/01/lets-talk-about-sonsee.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">) and they are the most comfortable tights I own. So I knew that these chafing shorts would be comfortable as well. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I tried the anti chafing shorts a few times on different days while doing different things because I really wanted to see how they would work each time. I wore them one day doing errands, one day to the mall and another when I went out with friends. When you put them on they aren't tight like shape wear but the feel like when you wear tights, and you can feel them of coarse but after awhile of wearing them I forgot I even had them on. I was surprised how comfortable I felt with them on and no chafing at all happened while wearing them. Another thing I noticed is that the chafing shorts had no sign of wear in the thigh area and I wore them a few times so I was impressed with the fabric they used. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So when I tried the anti chafing shorts I wore them with skirts and dresses and they worked great! But I tried to wear it with shorts because I get chafing when I wear shorts as well but they didn't work with the shorts because they were visible in shorts which is the only thing I didn't like about them. But then again I wear shorter shorts so that might be the reason, see picture above. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now their sizing is a little different they use words like gorgeous and flawless instead of sizes, you can check out how they label their sizes in the graph below. They carry US sizes 10 - 24 and I wear a Flawless 14-16. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">So in conclusion would I recommend Sonsee anti chafing shorts, yes definitely! They sell them online through amazon now (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sonsee-Chafing-Lightweight-Breathable-Shorts/dp/B01FGFJJXW">here</a>) which makes it easier for anyone to get a pair. But you can also check out the <a href="https://www.sonseewoman.com/">Sonsee</a> website to see everything that they offer. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Have you heard of the new plus size brand <a href="http://www.lovesick.com/">Lovesick</a>? It's a sister brand to Torrid and Hot topic. I heard about them recently and I found out their was a store near me so I went this past weekend to check it out. In today's post I'm sharing with you a little about the brand, what I got and my experience. </span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">So like I said above </span><a href="http://www.lovesick.com/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Lovesick</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> is a sister brand to Torrid and Hot topic. They are a plus size brand that offer on trend clothing in sizes 10 - 26 and they go up to a 5x in a lot of styles. They offer boho style clothing as well as basics like graphic tees and jeans. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There sizing is the same as torrid that they go from a 00=M/L to to a 5=5X. I usually wear a size 1X and so I'm a size 1 at the store and I tried a few items in a 1 and they all seemed to fit me well. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One thing that I find interesting about Lovesick is they are part of "Because I'm a girl" project that provides tuition, uniforms and supplies to girls in developing countries. Lovesick with donate 1% of sales between April 2016 to June 2017 with a guaranteed maximum donation of $100,000. The also offer customers to round up from their purchase and all of that money goes towards the cause with no limit. I think that it's great to see a brand give back and I think it's great how they are empowering women all over the world.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So one thing I thought was really cute was when you try on clothes they write your name on a little chalkboard outside of the dressing room. This is such a cute little touch and made me feel special in the store. Also in the dressing room they had #loveyourselfie sticker on mirror, I took a few picture but unfortunately they all came out really blurry. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now what did I get from Lovesick? I got this cute cold shoulder top in a beautiful pink color. So the cold shoulder trend has been around for awhile but I don't own one until I saw this one and I thought it was cute and I know that it's going to be something that I will wear a lot this summer. They had this top in white as well but I chose the pink one because I'm still trying to incorporate more color into my wardrobe, so when I have a choice other then black and white I try to get that one. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The top is so flowy so I wanted to pair it with something form fitting so I ended up pairing it this this crocheted/lace type skirt that I just recently (<a href="http://curvymod.blogspot.com/2016/04/sale-shopping-haul.html">here</a>). I really like how the skirt adds texture to the outfit because I stayed really neutral with the colors in the outfit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hello Friends!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's June, can you believe how fast this year is going. June means summer is here and that means summer clothes, one of them being shorts. In today's post I'm sharing an outfit wearing a new pair of shorts that I got from a haul I made recently (<a href="http://curvymod.blogspot.com/2016/04/sale-shopping-haul.html">here</a>) and some shorts that I'm eyeing this year.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;">So shorts have always been that one item that I wasn't comfortable wearing. I only started wearing shorts when I started this blog. I didn't like shorts because I wasn't used to wearing them, when I was younger I remember being told that I looked fat in shorts and it kind of stuck with me. But when I started this blog I wanted to push myself and try things I was scared of and one of them was wearing shorts. The first time I wore shorts, I was so uncomfortable in them and I remember I kept pulling them down. But once I forgot that I was wearing them, it was comfortable and no one was saying anything to me. So after that I started wearing shorts more often. </span><br />

</span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">When I started this blog I only owned one pair of shorts and now I own few of them because they are so comfortable to wear to me now. I picked of this pair of shorts on clearance at Forever 21+ for $8.99 which is a great price for shorts. I really love the asymmetrical front and the details on the front with the buttons and the little pocket. I really like how the shorts give me a nautical feel as well. </span></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So if you follow me on instagram you know I cut my hair into a Long bob (lob) but I actually wasn't planning on cutting it this short. I actually wanted it to be a little longer but I guess hair always grows back so I'm getting used to it. I also am taking advantage of it being short dyeing it a rose gold kind of color I always wanted. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now below are some short inspirations for you! I put together some different type of shorts and where you can get them.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Jean Shorts...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So jean shorts were the kind of shorts I was scared to wear because I thought they were uncomfortable until I got a pair from forever 21+ that were a stretchy denim and they are one of my favorite pairs that I own. So if you want comfort look for a stretchy material compared to the stiff type. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Printed Shorts...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are my favorite to wear because they are so comfortable, the printed shorts that are cotton and have a stretchy waist. I own a few printed shorts that are these styles, so if you want something comfortable I would suggest something of this style. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So if you follow me on instagram you know I cut my hair, I took these pictures before I cut my hair so their is your little disclaimer. But yeah, a few weeks back when I was in LA walking around and noticed they had some booths selling things and while I was looking around I was stopped by <a href="http://shopstyledbyc.com/">Styled by C</a> and they told me how they were a plus size brand that just relaunched recently. Since they are new I thought why not let tell you about them. So learn more about them and this shirt I'm wearing in the post. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So when I talked to Christina from <a href="http://shopstyledbyc.com/">Styled by C</a> she explained to me their moto is "Bold, Confident and Beautiful," Bold - be fearless and daring, Confident - accepting everything you are and are not, Beautiful - Set your own standards. So they say "Be Bold, Be Confident, Be Beautiful," and that really stayed with me because I really like what they stand for. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Lonjas means love handles, muffin top or fat rolls. </div>

<br /></div>

In filipino we call it "bilbil" but whatever it's called it's a part of your body and I might not have always accepted it but I've learned to love it. Now I was going to wear this shirt with a jacket but I thought why not show my lonjas, my bilbil, my love handles and do what the shirt says and love all of me rolls and all. </div>

Now <a href="http://shopstyledbyc.com/">Styled by C</a> is still a new brand out their but I love their body positive message and I always think it's great to support smaller brands that are starting up. That's why I wanted to do a little post for them just to get their name out their. Do you know any small business that are just starting up? I'd love to learn about new ones. </div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>Hey Beauties!!!</b></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I don't know about you but I've been seeing a lot of <a href="http://www.thredup.com/r/FOAKKV">thredUP</a> advertisements on Facebook but I didn't really know what it was. So when I was contacted by them to try it out I thought why not and today I'm going to share what I got and a little review about how things work. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I used to love thrifting but I stopped doing it because it got so hard finding sizes so I just kind of stopped. ThredUP is like thrifting online, they say that they are like an online consignment store. They offer a wide array of brands and sizes which is one thing I really liked. They sell used clothing that are hand selected and certified for quality to people at discounted prices. They also take used clothes and give you money for the ones that they are going to sell. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What I really liked about the website is that it was so easy to use and I loved how you can filter size, type of clothing, price and brands. When I was going through the site I would filter in my size an XL or 1X and I looked through the different types of clothes and I was surprised to see so many options because I wasn't expecting their to be that much. They also offer a plus size section that goes up to 5X and a size 32, they also offer a petite, tall and maternity sections as well.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I fell in love with this dress when I saw it because I loved the big bow in the front of the dress. The dress is from an old target collaboration with Kate Young and I remember the collection and loving some of the things they had but I also remember I couldn't afford any of it. So I was really glad to see it on thredUP and it happened to be in my size so I knew it was what I wanted to get. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So the dress is a size 16 but it's a tad tight around the bust area but it still works for me. But my favorite part of the dress is that they have pockets! I love dresses or skirts that have pockets because it's just great to know I can put my hands in the pockets. Don't you just love pockets? </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I got this dress because it was so pretty but I also thought it would be a great dress to wear if I go to something nice like a wedding or something around those lines. I decided to pair it with a sweater for a few pictures just to show that you can still wear something over on cooler days, you could probably even wear a jean jacket to dress it down as well. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope everyone is doing well! So today's post is from an outfit I wore this past weekend when I went to my friends graduation lunch which turned into a proposal. I'm so happy for her they are such a great couple. But yeah my outfit was actually made by my mom and if you have been following my blog you know I wear clothes my mom makes for me from time to time and this was something new she just made.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So when I was in high school and college I could never really find clothes that fit me and I usually would just wear just jeans and t-shirts because it was just easy. So when I was in high school my mom took a class to learn how to make patterns because she felt bad when we would go shopping and I could never find anything. From then on she started making me clothes, she doesn't know how to make crazy complicated things but she can make skirts like nothing. Which is why I have a closet full of skirts and a little obsession with them. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A few weeks ago I went shopping with my mom, it's our favorite thing to do together, and it was one of those shopping trips where I could not find anything I liked that fit me. I remember being in forever 21 and really loving the suede pinafore's that they had and saying I wish they had these in plus size, I say that a lot. And I guess my mom found some suede like material and she made me one and she gave it to me this past weekend and I couldn't wait to wear it. Now that I think of it I probably should have waited and worn it for mother's day but I was excited so I wore it the day she gave it to me.

<span style="color: black; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.492px; line-height: 20.004px;">Distressed Denim is a wardrobe staple. From light distressing to tears and holes, this edgy detail continues to be a major trend. With summer quickly approaching, shorts season is upon us and what's easier than taking a pair of your worn in jeans and turning them into shorts? I've scoured the web and found the best and easiest denim DIY's. You can see my favorites below and even more inspo on my <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/xlush/distressed-denim-diy/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hello Everyone!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So this blog post is a little different because I'm going to be showing spring bag trends for 2016 and this is something I used to do on the blog but haven't done it in a while so I thought it would be a new things I could do. Tell me what you think in a comment below! But yeah I think bags are a fun accessory to spice up an outfit but are also something that we use daily. So lets look at some of my favorite trends! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The top handle is a classic because of it's ladylike style. These bags are held in your hands or held at your elbow. A top handle bag means that you basically carried in your hand with one or two handles. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I hope your all doing great, I've been so uninspired recently fashion wise, I think I was in a little fashion funk. But whenever I get this way I go back to the basics and what I know and to me that's black and white. I think I've been so fixated about wearing more color that I forgot about my favorite color combination black and white. So today's outfit is my back to basics spring outfit. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I wore this outfit to have dinner with a friend and I wanted to wearing something casual but still me which is totally this outfit. This is kind of like what you would call my uniform for when I don't know what to wear a skirt and a top with a jean jacket. Do you have a uniform that you wear when you don't know what to wear? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I love the trend of wearing sneakers with everything especially skirts because it's such a comfortable alternative.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Right now it's really hot in California, we are having like summer weather right now. But the day I wore this it was a bit more chilly and that's why I'm wearing the jacket. Have you ever heard of the term bridging before? I wrote a little about it on my instagram but if you haven't it's the term when you wear a jacket or something that acts as a bridge between the crop top and your bottom. So my jean jacket is acting as a bridge from my top to my skirt. What do you think about the term? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I haven't always been comfortable wearing a crop tops but the more that I've worn them the more I've gotten used to them. I feel a lot more comfortable in them now and I can see them becoming one of my staples for spring and summer. What do you think your spring/summer staple will be this year? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hello Friends!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know it's been awhile since I posted, I didn't have internet for awhile because our internet provider changed, so I took that time for a little break. I was going through a little something and I really needed the break but I'm back and a have posts lined up for you all. Today's post is a little different it's a haul post and I haven't done one of these since the first year I blogged. I went shopping this past weekend and picked up some things and thought why not share it on the blog.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2OOrchKEI1-q72RMmZHrgRqIBT2_-YEQwcGGCQ5c3_Qshebv-Ob_LUe2-H_fThAZGYTllz5PtJP3L4DfmWPyzFnUs8lt6MpEaCdrJSWngGM2eMx4lKvUSVHOYZmV4ZXQB7mgCr7JsZ3YZ/s1600/ShopHaul.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2OOrchKEI1-q72RMmZHrgRqIBT2_-YEQwcGGCQ5c3_Qshebv-Ob_LUe2-H_fThAZGYTllz5PtJP3L4DfmWPyzFnUs8lt6MpEaCdrJSWngGM2eMx4lKvUSVHOYZmV4ZXQB7mgCr7JsZ3YZ/s640/ShopHaul.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I originally went to the mall because I wanted things to organize my room but when I'm at the mall I like to go into other stores and see what they have. I happened to find some great deals on some things so I wanted to share them with you with some tips to shopping sales because I actually only shop sales because I'm on a broke like a joke budget right now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">*Forever 21</span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First stop was forever 21 because I've found some great pieces from clearance sections at this store so I always go into the store and see what they have on sale.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9CILjrF2ombVxtujdcVovZQ4vWlHGwJ-eZT1D7Tu5D87RycV-Wyr1Mr7ZsTusz9BNIkEzG6plhHCWnj1Kzh5BqI01VeSFVac76JLrBiH1oiC-YtWwMtqvmkJTrWwyB0o8eeAFHlWKfSBJ/s1600/shophaul1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9CILjrF2ombVxtujdcVovZQ4vWlHGwJ-eZT1D7Tu5D87RycV-Wyr1Mr7ZsTusz9BNIkEzG6plhHCWnj1Kzh5BqI01VeSFVac76JLrBiH1oiC-YtWwMtqvmkJTrWwyB0o8eeAFHlWKfSBJ/s640/shophaul1.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I loved the detail of this skort with the pocket and the buttons, I've been loving the wrap/kilt style type skirts. So when I saw this and it was the only one I knew it was meant to be mine, and the fact it was only 8.99 I had to have it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyYg-MGRqlph0sdiDV3Ssy9oGNXxN_EG5p5unRbGLdi4wKnVOEbhw-ewA4tGds2n-5VU0ztgcQXvvgzl3roQ_6JHd5dzWHkeZcuWTfSwEaItTVB1HVObSqYyY7VMGLNthXav6nq0bFKNOO/s1600/shophaul2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="590" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyYg-MGRqlph0sdiDV3Ssy9oGNXxN_EG5p5unRbGLdi4wKnVOEbhw-ewA4tGds2n-5VU0ztgcQXvvgzl3roQ_6JHd5dzWHkeZcuWTfSwEaItTVB1HVObSqYyY7VMGLNthXav6nq0bFKNOO/s640/shophaul2.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been seeing tons of people doing all white outfits, so I've been wanting to add some white items to my wardrobe so when I saw this I loved the lace detail of it and it fit great. This was only 10.99 so it was a great price for a lace skirt. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-Tip: when shopping sales think of the season, what season it is and what season it's going to be. For example I know that it's spring going on summer so I was looking for things I could wear during this time because a lot of time during sales they sell items that are for the opposite season. I saw tons of stuff for winter but I'm not going to be able to wear those. But if you see something that you love and it's a great price for next season, I say you should get it, I've done that before. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">*Sears </span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So sears I don't really shop hear but I went with my mom because she wanted to check out the sales and they had some great sales going on. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVq97MOs9vmiVVlpWTp1IrWLQI3nvKmfVuvpb4QHzkkrAEDR8RmWv-qlkvA1t9dsG9eBJcD6LkL167JbzZYr7q-W2AsDMrA2ZY7Ops_tk6iEAnuhzBAXxycT1GSi6C52l50gotijsdnVro/s1600/shophaul3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="442" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVq97MOs9vmiVVlpWTp1IrWLQI3nvKmfVuvpb4QHzkkrAEDR8RmWv-qlkvA1t9dsG9eBJcD6LkL167JbzZYr7q-W2AsDMrA2ZY7Ops_tk6iEAnuhzBAXxycT1GSi6C52l50gotijsdnVro/s640/shophaul3.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So this skirt was on the floor and I just decided to pick it up and it happened to be my size XL so I tried it on. Now this skirt is versatile because it can be worn during all year round, it is more of a fall skirt with the paisley print but I feel like if you wear it a certain wait it can be a spring and summer skirt as well. The skirt was only 3.99, so I couldn't pass it up. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8qWFZtMuE3O2-ndtAm82ezibuMAH64V3kKHqOWwNtR3PlpHCjcQm0DMY9bJmVRVoi59dMG9-X969qK5SM4e-PTGDYYFgP_GFqka1hu5JpeDpY5E4zlEmP7Swnn_e5MmfX7xY8q-1ZThts/s1600/shophaul4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8qWFZtMuE3O2-ndtAm82ezibuMAH64V3kKHqOWwNtR3PlpHCjcQm0DMY9bJmVRVoi59dMG9-X969qK5SM4e-PTGDYYFgP_GFqka1hu5JpeDpY5E4zlEmP7Swnn_e5MmfX7xY8q-1ZThts/s640/shophaul4.JPG" width="426" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now this dress I wasn't sure about because it's a long white maxi and I really loved the top of the dress but I'm not sure about the length. I don't know if I should keep it as a maxi or cut it short? What do you think? This was only 3.99 too so I couldn't pass it up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">-tip: When you go sale shopping give yourself time because sales are usually racks of clothing that are unorganized, they can be organized sometimes but usually they are just thrown onto the racks. So you have to go through the racks and really look. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now the next items are what I came to the mall for and they weren't on sale but I bought them from Ross so technically they are on sale because they are discounted items. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCEDgAX5LUNtxax4HR91eXrXXWQQTC2fceoXflLdRrqpI2px86LJTO_oXWPaBJ17GYnQORWdxegV6mnhwFYZY3TLaJBWGaD8y3oxTmsRs3gr4e5zqsqZ9vPYquBDMkMpWJhW4o7r03rdln/s1600/shophaul5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCEDgAX5LUNtxax4HR91eXrXXWQQTC2fceoXflLdRrqpI2px86LJTO_oXWPaBJ17GYnQORWdxegV6mnhwFYZY3TLaJBWGaD8y3oxTmsRs3gr4e5zqsqZ9vPYquBDMkMpWJhW4o7r03rdln/s640/shophaul5.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I bought these hangers for my skirts because I have tons of skirts in my closet and I wanted to see if these would help. I need to go back and buy more because they help with my little skirt problem. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV8ncwl4RyirChtRrCA-PyOPSYipWQ6LlZDjl5KdnNzsl4TPU75p-2TzTjIx4S_EisQOBd4shewf5ISGymSzn9yskiLdNLYuuim_cjjwb1CiAaZ7sKy0o6D43PvZqZkwShIKjS2xrpwIkJ/s1600/shophaul6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV8ncwl4RyirChtRrCA-PyOPSYipWQ6LlZDjl5KdnNzsl4TPU75p-2TzTjIx4S_EisQOBd4shewf5ISGymSzn9yskiLdNLYuuim_cjjwb1CiAaZ7sKy0o6D43PvZqZkwShIKjS2xrpwIkJ/s640/shophaul6.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now this is the item is my favorite thing that I picked up because my makeup collection is slowly growing and I've been looking for something to organize it. So they were selling each thing separately for 9.99 each but they had this combo of both for only 16.99!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed my little haul post. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i>Hey Friends!!!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So today I'm back with another blog collaboration with some of my blogger friends and were working with <a href="http://www.yoursclothing.com/">Yours Clothing</a>. Were focusing one of their collections Western Nostalgia, which they describe as all shades of denim along with fringe and tassels, paisley and tile prints, lace-ups and crochet that all come together to create an effortless boho vibe. Boho has been a big trend for awhile and this collections focuses on the seventies influence. We all have different styles so it's really fun to see what we all came up with. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3GlZgtQCUtThE8kO8YCJ6qaAp4CnPMGSQ1Herpci6aENokfK3wflBBhmImkVoEE21J47gio2bD833jXQNz0uKZ8M4h_YEJww4VgklP6R5x5XwC6JtSDzoksdDjoeLgGtTKvgVW48G0ibT/s1600/YoursWestern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3GlZgtQCUtThE8kO8YCJ6qaAp4CnPMGSQ1Herpci6aENokfK3wflBBhmImkVoEE21J47gio2bD833jXQNz0uKZ8M4h_YEJww4VgklP6R5x5XwC6JtSDzoksdDjoeLgGtTKvgVW48G0ibT/s640/YoursWestern.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So the outfit I came up with is totally out of my comfort zone. I've been wanting to try the wide leg pant trend so when I saw that they had a pair in denim, I knew it was what I wanted to try because it was so different for me. I also fell in love the top I picked because when I saw it was shown off the shoulders this is another trend I've been really wanting to try also. So my whole look was something new for me and totally out of my comfort zone. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA9-EXiC9sFLdTtokvI9S8suRJd3J0GvAkPqMM8hbUjlHUiTOtrVu37ekREouHM6fCceYSTksrKETgildbs-NGvL5AAXnLWQzsqE07ifYkjMS-8miOiAWJp_pg_F_NIB1D79LEGA1y6MXU/s1600/YoursWestern5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA9-EXiC9sFLdTtokvI9S8suRJd3J0GvAkPqMM8hbUjlHUiTOtrVu37ekREouHM6fCceYSTksrKETgildbs-NGvL5AAXnLWQzsqE07ifYkjMS-8miOiAWJp_pg_F_NIB1D79LEGA1y6MXU/s640/YoursWestern5.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First off the pants, I was really hesitant to get this style of pants because it's something I would have wanted to try on first before I got them because the style is so different then anything I own. Unfortunately they didn't fit me very well, I got a pair of skinny jeans from Yours Clothing in a 16 and they fit me perfectly, so I decided to size down to a 14 because they have elastic at the waist. The pants are really high waisted so they actually fit around my bra area which is really weir fit, so I had to lower it down but it caused the pants to have a saggy crotch area, so I tried my best to make them work. They were extremely long on me so my mom had to cut a few inches off and sew it for me. I really wanted these pants to work but for me they unfortunately didn't but that doesn't mean it wouldn't work for you, I just wanted to honest and share how they fit on me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixt6A0J_OzE1ZgajV1b7K8rI8THpZHD8HDuaNE9pA1_-FmLECse73U845SCqFVCsgsQqy-NGkHcnKGMAEJyfXMTkOnYQ9MasJJvcbMNfCz1DQDoc2b5EEiUn2nfhJndU-hG9GCCyTE2rkT/s1600/YoursWestern3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="572" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixt6A0J_OzE1ZgajV1b7K8rI8THpZHD8HDuaNE9pA1_-FmLECse73U845SCqFVCsgsQqy-NGkHcnKGMAEJyfXMTkOnYQ9MasJJvcbMNfCz1DQDoc2b5EEiUn2nfhJndU-hG9GCCyTE2rkT/s640/YoursWestern3.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now this top is the opposite of the pants it fit great and is very comfortable to wear. Now I when I wore the top it was really hard for me to keep the shoulders down but I found a video from Refinery29 (<a href="http://www.refinery29.com/how-to-wear-peasant-blouse">here</a>) that gave a tip how to keep the shoulders of your top down. In video it shows you that you can use two hair ties and 4 safety pins that they put in the inside of the shirt and your suppose to have these hair ties under your armpit areas. Now when I first tried this I could not fit my arms through the holes because I'm plus sized and in the video they are not. But I was able to solve this by placing the hair ties and safety pins lower on my told so my arms go through and it was much more comfortable for me. So if you want to keep those tops down, I definitely recommend watching the video and adjusting it for your own comfort because it really does help keep them down. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I've been lusting over the bolo style ribbon necklaces but I wasn't sure if I could pull it off because I got that double chin. But since I was already going out of my comfort zone for this outfit I thought why not try it with this outfit because it kind of fit the western nostalgia vibe. But I couldn't find the necklace anywhere so I decided to make my own, I went to Michaels and bought some faux sued string and boom I got the necklace. I need to go back and get some beads to put at the end of the string because they necklace was moving when I was wearing, as you can see in the pictures it kind of shifted to the side. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm really glad I tried this trend out, the pants might not have worked for me this time but I will be looking out for another pair to try the trend out again. I'm glad I was able to try the off the shoulder top too because I really liked it and I will probably try it again. This is why I love blogging because it helps me step out of my comfort zone and whether or not it works for me I'm glad I tried it.</span></div>
