Stoney Clover Lane offers bags and pouches that can be personalized with an assortment of patches they also carry. Stoney Clover has what they call their “core collection” that is a variety of silhouettes in solid colors. Prices start at $38 for a luggage tag or clear travel pouch and go up to $208 for a duffle bag. The large pouch, which retails for $78, is their best seller. Of course, there’s really nothing exciting about a solid color nylon pouch so the real fun comes in customization.

As I’ve gotten older (and perhaps a little wiser) there are some things in life I no longer have the patience for. Near the top of my list is uncomfortable shoes. This is an area where I have pivoted to buying quality over quantity. However, it had been a struggle to find a quality, wide width, not too tall heel. So it was really my lucky day when this unicorn of shoes found me and I received an email from Ally Shoes.

Do you ever have an article of clothing ​where you think oh this would look so cute with X, but you don’t have X so it just sits in your closet unworn? That’s how I feel about a lot of my dresses and for me X was a pair of tights in fun colors. To be honest I’ve spend most of my life hating pantyhose / tights because well, they’re tight! As someone who is both tall and plus size I always felt like I was shoving myself into something not really meant for my body when wearing tights. But after following Snag Tights on social media for a while and seeing women in a variety of shapes and sizes in their tights I decided it was time to give them a try!

Unless you have been living under a rock this past year you have probably heard of the brand Selkie, and you’ve probably heard that they are size inclusive and are curious about their plus size fits. I currently have three plus size Selkie dresses (with a 4th on the way) and two plus size Selkie sweaters so I feel comfortable enough with Selkie to give an in-depth review. ​

When I asked if there was any interest in me sharing how I started hiking and my experience as a plus size hiker I figured a few people would be interested but I was blown away by the response! I got questions on everything from how to start, to what shoes to wear and I’m going to answer all of these things today.

To kick off the holiday season I’ve put together some outfit inspo for 25 holiday activities. Of course, you don’t have to buy anything new this year but I have linked items if you see something you like and I was very careful to select pieces that are available in both straight and plus sizes. My favorite thing about holiday styles is that they tend to be classics that you can wear year after year so my hope is that this post inspires you to shop your closet for what you already have and find a new piece or two that will make the perfect addition to your holiday wardrobe!

Gift giving is my love language so it makes me so happy when someone loves the gift I have given them. I think the thought behind a gift is more important than the dollar spent and great gifts can be found for great price points. This year I have rounded up my top picks for gifts under $25, gifts under $100 and a few items over $100 if you are looking to splurge on a man in your life.
