About Me

Hi! I’m Sarah, a body-positive style blogger. I live in NYC with my husband and our adorable adopted dog #panthepup. I started Curvily over eight years ago when I realized how powerful seeing other stylish plus size babes living their lives happily could be – it literally changed my life and the way I felt about my own body. I wanted to be a part of that and hopefully help others too, so I made a Tumblr page to share my #OOTDs and have been posting ever since.

I’m super into the *community* aspect of the plus community – I absolutely love my community of reader babes here, and I also founded @newyorkcityplus for IRL community events (which will be happening again as soon as it is safe!)

I LOVE fashion, and am all about pushing the plus industry forward. I created the #plussizeplease movement in 2014 as a way for plus shoppers to directly express the demand for more and better options to brands, and I also do work behind the scenes as a consultant to help brands who want to expand their size range best serve plus size customers.

I also aim to be a resource for my readers, offering practical shopping tips, deal alerts, fit information, and features like my #inthefittingroom series to help people see how plus brands fit on a 5’4” plus size body with boobs and a belly. I chat with my readers in Instagram DMs a lot too, so feel free to reach out if you have a specific question or need help finding something!

Just what I needed 🥹 Tag who you need a reunion Just what I needed 🥹 Tag who you need a reunion with! 

And yes, I took resting up VERY seriously because I was not about to miss my BFF’s birthday celebration! Nothing recharges me like getting to shenan once and shenanigan with @jimmyjam0309 @winsalma and @seenigel - and oh, did we!! 😁😁😁

#longdistancefriendship #bff #friendtrip
It’s my birthday 🥰 Swipe for what I’m actu It’s my birthday 🥰  Swipe for what I’m actually looking like today - DEFINITELY not what I had planned, but I’m so grateful to be home and resting and recovering after everything 💕 Thank you so much for all the messages and support you babes have offered - I feel so loved and cared for 🥹
✨She yearns for the pool ✨ Thank you so much ✨She yearns for the pool ✨ 

Thank you so much for all the sweet well-wishes on my emergency surgery! I feel so loved 🥹 I’ll be resting for a while, but I have plenty of good fashion content in the bank to share with you babes, including the excellent @riviereagency @swimandresortday pool party (aka just the type of vibes I had planned for my bday tomorrow 😩!) More info about this super cute swim set (swipe to see the skirt) on the blog too - it’s on major sale right now and you can use my reader code CURVILY for an extra 15% off (it stacks!)
Definitely not the #OOTD I had in mind for last ni Definitely not the #OOTD I had in mind for last night! I was looking forward to wearing a cute summer dress; instead I ended up wearing a hospital gown for a surprise emergency surgery - right before my birthday too 😩 

But for real though, the horrible timing doesn’t matter because even though no one likes spending 17 hours at the ER, I’m really grateful that @nyphospital took my intense stabbing abdomen pain seriously and figured out that it was A 12 CENTIMETER OVARIAN CYST IN TORSION!!! 

Incredibly unwelcome news (to put it mildly!) but I was really impressed with the great care and treatment of everyone in the OR, down to making me feel comfortable on the table for a surgery I never expected - at 4:00 am, at that!! Thank you to the entire team for your great work and warmth 💕

I’m on bedrest now and will be for a while, and I have some new scars on my belly, but I’m really really grateful that I made it through okay and had @seenigel by my side every step of the way 🥹❤️🥰
This has to be THE best summer tailoring set in pl This has to be THE best summer tailoring set in plus size! I wore it during the 100° heatwave yesterday and it was breezy but polished. I sized up one in both the top and skirt, but my usual size probably would have worked for the skirt (the vest needed the extra bust space, and the adjustable detail on the back kept it from being too boxy). 10/10 highly recommend! Links to everything, including my new favorite supportive sandals and these pretty statement earrings, on my LTK now 🤍

P.S. If you are new here, hi! I’m Sarah and I’m all about helping you find cute clothes you love!
They spent all that money and sent all those lie-f They spent all that money and sent all those lie-filled attack texts and we STILL said #NoCuomo 🙌🏻 Good job New York 🥹 

P.S. MAJOR shoutout to @brad.lander who was so instrumental in making this happen! Progress over ego is so beautiful to see 💙
Which dress is your favorite? 1 or 2? I’m review Which dress is your favorite? 1 or 2? I’m reviewing both of these and more (including jumpsuits, rompers, and swim!) in my latest blog post, where I wear tested the affordable plus label @bloomchic for the first time and am sharing my honest feedback about the fits, fabrics, sizing, and styles! 

And this is the perfect time to shop too: They just extended their Mid-Year Sale (up to 70%) til July 1st, and my reader code CURVILY stacks (!!!) for an additional 15% off the sale prices!! Head to the blog for my full review and let me know if you have any questions here! 

(Blog post is #bloomchicpartner, this post is just me sharing because I’m impressed with the price point and size range: 10-30/6x, so there are options for #extendedplussize babes too!)
Ignore my rain-bedraggled hair, but this is a lovi Ignore my rain-bedraggled hair, but this is a loving reminder to all my NYC babes to go vote in our mayoral primary, and remember your ABCs: Anyone but Cuomo! We need a mayor who cares about regular New Yorkers, not just his billionaire friends (sound familiar?) I recommend ranking the @nywfp slate of candidates, who have policies that will directly impact our lives for the better and who will stand up for us as a city. Early voting is open today, or you can vote on Election Day (6/24). The primary basically decides the winner in NYC, so don’t wait til November!
