a curvy caffeine queen navigating life one outfit at a time
Welp, it’s already October and it’s still hot. Surprise, surprise (said no one ever).
I will be transitioning into Fall over the next couple of weeks and can’t wait to share how I embrace Fall when it’s in the 80s and 90s down here.
So yes, I’m still wearing light colors and it totally works.

Hey y’all and thanks for stopping by today!
I wanted to recap my three outfits of my weekend and share with you the places I wined and dined. Scroll through to read about my trip and shop my looks!
NOLA Food
Blaze – Blaze is a build your own pizza joint and it is DELISH! There are keto and gluten free options. I went with the traditional red sauce and mozzarella. I added pepperoni, bacon, oregano, and salt. It’s cooked in a brick oven and ready to serve. There are several locations all over New Orleans so definitely stop by!
Willa Jean – I love this New Orleans staple! It is southern cooking at its finest. We started with the artichoke + cheese dip and finished with the biscuit and sausage gravy. They also have the BEST frozen drinks. I stared with the Frose, but then switched to the Strawberries ‘n Cream. Willa Jean is a NOLA must stop if you’re visiting!
Molly’s Rise and Shine – Y’all. This place was a first try for me this go-round in New Orleans. I got a biscuit with egg, cheddar, and sausage. This place is an homage to your childhood with a large Clark Griswald on the wallpapered wall. It’s an awesome spot that’s perfect for breakfast!
Other spots I went to this past weekend included Tomas Bistro for a rehearsal dinner and Race + Religious for my last wedding of 2019. It was an absolute great time!

Happy Friday, y’all!
I’m in New Orleans today for work and fun after spending three days in Alabama. Living out of a suitcase would be the title of my memoir at this moment in time lol
A few weeks ago I posted about how wrap dresses are universally flattering and y’all, I just can’t quit. This dress is incredible. It’s bright, flattering, and very comfortable. The best part?! It is size inclusive. I think it will transition into Fall, too, throw on some camel booties and a vest!

Happy Thursday, friends!
I wanted to pop on and show you a different way to still this midi skirt:
Here’s another way to still this floral number: AS A DRESS
Now here me out. You can wear it flowy or belt it, but it’s still a great length to wear it a dress.

If there’s one type of clothing in my closet that I go to time and time again, it’s the wrap dress. From knee length, to midi, to maxi, I’m ALL ABOUT a wrap!
On curvy girls, a wrap is a great piece, because for a hourglass frame, it highlights your smallest portion, but balancing both the bust and hips.
See below for reference and if y’all would like a post on my current fave wrap dresses, let me know!

Have a great weekend, friends!
Y’all.
We are well into September now and I for one am so excited to transition to cooler tones and sweater weather pieces!
Now we are not there (by any means) yet for sweater weather, but dark florals are a perfect place to start.
I absolutely love this pleated skirt and thought it was so fun to pair my beloved Gucci belt with it. I love mixing high and low end pieces for a pulled together look.
Shop: Top (similar), Skirt, Belt (women’s, men’s), Shoes, Bag, Bangles, Sunnies
Hope you’ve had a great Thursday, friends!
Be sure to stop back by next week where I’m sharing how to wear this skirt as a dress.
