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 🤍

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!
I’ve never been a fan of the phrase “real woma I’ve never been a fan of the phrase “real woman have curves” (because ALL women are real!!), but I am *definitely* a fan of @realwomenhavecurvesthemusical on Broadway! I got a chance to go see it with @lanebryant recently, and I was absolutely blown away by the beauty and power of this musical. There were so many themes that are so important (and really really pertinent to current events!), and also powerfully addressing breaking generational trauma when it comes to weight and body shame. It was also just an incredible story with really good music and a lot of heart. I was so so blown away by the cast and the set and everything about it. It was just pure art from start to finish. A++ highly recommend! We all wore bright colorful pieces from Lane Bryant to match the vibe, and I loved mine. I will be linking this gorgeous dress in my stories 💕 

Thank you Lane Bryant for this great experience and I’m so glad I got to see it with so many OG plus fashion friends!!
