Loved the style of these Trunkaroos (and the excellent customer service at the Meatpacking  District Marni store), but both are a bit too short for a true crossbody fit IMO. They do look great worn as shoulder bags though!

I really appreciate Nigel’s phone accessory high I really appreciate Nigel’s phone accessory highlight 😁 P.S. This was my first time at @universalorlando’s CityWalk and it was cute - reminded me of a family friendly Vegas (and The Chocolate Emporium was legit DELICIOUS) #curvilytravels

It’s been like a security blanket or camouflage for me; something I used to minimize my discomfort with my profile. I’ve said it before: Unlearning fatphobia is a lot of mental and emotional work, but it is oh SO worth doing 💕
Events lately 💕 Loved celebrating @silhouetteey Events lately 💕 Loved celebrating @silhouetteeyewear’s new lightweight luxury eyewear collection in a gorgeous new Rafael Viñoly skyscraper - I tried on a few pairs (including the brown ones in pic 3) and they feel amazing on, like you are wearing nothing! Then it was on to @kristenvbateman’s Miu Miu book launch at @therealreal, where I spent all my time chatting with friends new and old and forgot to take photos, but I love this shot of @sparkpretty and I by @seleen.saleh 💕 Last week I celebrated Earth Day with a panel at @dvf with sustainable emerging designers @carolinezimbalist @dauphinette.nyc and @katebarton, helmed by @gigiburris and hosted by @lindseymedia. Then it was off to the @andre_assous rooftop party, with the most gorgeous sunset imaginable and so many faves including @thenanimal 🥰 A lot of my job is just sitting at a desk and working (like today!) so I love fun nights like these. #empoweredbylightness #nycfashion
