NYFW day 3700 😁 For another day of running arou NYFW day 3700 😁 For another day of running around the city for shows and presentations, I wore this fun faux suede set that I got a ton of compliments on - and it’s from @lanebryant! The bottom is a secret skort too, so I had the look of a mini without the worry of accidentally flashing anyone lol. I paired it with my spaghetti print top from @tamara.malas and gorgeous suede boots from @dolcevita - all linked on LTK (same handle as here!) This snake print @jimmychoo bag from @designerrevival was the perfect finishing touch. Swipe for a mini recap of my day, from denim and volume at @aknvas to a gorgeous atmospheric presentation by @johnathan.hayden (who I learned offers sizes up to 3x!) to chic, sculptural vibes at @katehundley (I need that leather jacket in #plussizeplease!) And did you really visit WSA if you didn’t take a mirror selfie on the way out? P.S. Shoutout to @artioncafe in Tribeca for THE tastiest lemonade I’ve had all year (sour cherry!) - it gave me the strength to make it through the back half of the day when I started flagging šŸ™ŒšŸ»

The @melkenyc SS26 presentation Gone Fishing was a The @melkenyc SS26 presentation Gone Fishing was a peaceful reverie in the midst of #NYFW chaos, with ambient lake sounds, quiet conversations, and even a delightfully woodsy scent piped through the space. Designer @emma_gage21 launched Melke five years ago with their signature fish sweaters, and this collection was both a look back and evidence of how much the brand had grown up, all while retaining the quirk and whimsy we love (and the New York Post hates - always a sign you are doing something right IMO!) 

With truly original prints, items ranging from editorial to fully wearable, pieces ethically made in Brooklyn, and standard sizes up to XXL and more made to order, Melke remains one of my all time favorites - and I NEED that tackle print maxi dress šŸ˜

I absolutely loved the @reneecafaroatelier SS26 sh I absolutely loved the @reneecafaroatelier SS26 show ā€œOut of Scale.ā€ It makes me so happy seeing more editorial and avant-garde looks in plus, and the show notes from designer @reneecafaro included this section that resonates with me deeply: ā€œThis collection is at the crossroads of whimsy and anger, vacillating between the joyful dopamine dressing I needed to see and the defiance we all must embody. As our rights and safe spaces of expression and diversity are under attack, I have chosen to lean into being bolder and more inclusive than ever before.ā€ 

With a truly diverse cast and very cool designs (I NEED to see @lirisc’s closing look on a red carpet!) it was one of Renee’s best yet. Congrats to the entire @reneecafaroatelier @rcapubliclabel team for an incredible show!

More plus on the runway last night at @harlemfw fo More plus on the runway last night at @harlemfw for @theninaparker’s @ninaparkercollection NYFW debut! Coordinating sets galore, lots of gorgeous visibly plus size model babes, including faves like @veronicapomee and @lirisc, and a little soror shoutout moment from the designer at the end! Which look is the most your style? 

Thank you to @essiegolden for getting this footage for me, because the far-flung show locations this season are wild and I couldn’t get from the very bottom of the island up to Harlem in time 😩 I miss centralized shows so much!

Ruffles, sheer shine, and unconventional waist det Ruffles, sheer shine, and unconventional waist details ruled the day at @aknvas’s SS26 show, and I loved it. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen pastel chaps-style leather wader boots bucked at the waist before, but I’m into it! Which look is your favorite?

The @evan_hirsch #NYFW show ā€œFound Opulenceā€ w The @evan_hirsch #NYFW show ā€œFound Opulenceā€ was made for all my #sustainablefashion babes: Every item started off as a piece from Goodwill and was transformed by the designer through reworking and couture finishing (like the STUNNING draped beading on my favorite look, the emerald green gown). Shown on a range of sizes and body types, this runway presented a unique alternative to constantly producing new clothing; instead giving old pieces new life. Congrats to @evan_hirsch and @verynewyork for a great show! P.S. The exact runway dresses will be available for sale on @shopgoodwill_com to raise money for their nonprofit organization! #evanhirsch #upcycledfashion
