Lover of shoes, bags, and dresses.
I am an expert on styling and finding shopping hidden treasures.
Travel, shopping, reading, baking.
I absolutely love wearing perfume. I never wear just one because I enjoy creating custom scent experiences. High quality perfumes are expensive. It's risky to try new scents if you have to purchase the full size. Scentbird is a great way to discover new fragrances in a way that is very budget friendly. The size is enough for at least five uses even if you like a "heavy pour". You can place your subscription on hold if necessary, which is a consideration many people will find helpful. I highly recommend this service to anyone who loves fragrances like I do.
I know many fashionistas covet the Birkin bag, but I'll let you in on a secret. The Caroline bags from Brahmin are my absolute favorite. They come in so many unique colors and prints. I have a small collection that I'm working to expand. The quality is excellent as is the craftsmanship. These are bags that you can pass down if you care for them properly. I'm a HUGE fan!
I really enjoy Tanya Taylor's clothes. The designs are very thoughtful and inclusive of a range of shapes and sizes. As a larger busted woman, I appreciate the generous use of smocking and bra-friendly styles. The prints are unique and very colorful. Customer service is AWESOME. I once asked how pants fit on large thighs and whether or not my "melons" would fit in a dress. Both questions were answered in detail. I'm a loyal customer. You should be too.
Tip for consumers:
Follow the brand on Instagram to see the clothes on different models.

I ordered a fairly expensive dress from their website after seeing it on Instagram. It looked less than attractive on me, so I immediately returned it. It's been almost two weeks since the item was marked as delivered. I have contacted the company by email twice and called twice. I have no idea if or when I will receive my refund. I wish I had read reviews before choosing to purchase from this company. I will NEVER do so again. You would think that they would at least try to do better since so many retailers are going out of business. I guess they don't care.
Tip for consumers:
Only purchase from this company in the retail stores.

Lots of brands have extended sizes, but they're really just larger versions of standard sizes. What more brands need to recognize is that women come in different shapes and sizes. I'm a specialty bra size. I'm a 16 in the bust and somewhere between a 10 and 12 everywhere else. I really like that I could get a dress made to perfectly fit my shape. For the first time ever, I didn't struggle to get the zipper up when it hit mid-back. I also like that you can choose the fabric you want for many of their styles. I HIGHLY recommend this brand if you have a non-standard shape.
Tip for consumers:
Make sure someone else takes your measurements for accuracy.
