Snagged . Rick Owens

It's dupe time again!  After falling madly in love with one of Rick Owens' latest jackets, I decided he would make a good candidate for snagging.  If they won't make plus sizes, that doesn't mean we can't cop their style!  It's been awhile, so a quick refresher: the style on the left is the original Rick Owens piece and the style on the right is the plus size version I have pulled to recreate the look.  He is the MASTER of cool, easy pieces and so many of these would look amazing layered.  Make sure to check out the garments and as always: feel free to recommend another designer you'd like me to Snag in the comments!

We took a day trip out to DTLA to visit the Broad Museum.  The artwork is incredible and spirited…great for kids and adults alike. I wore my favorite Aakasha dress and Domino Dollhouse leggings (RIP) and snapped pics in front of some of the amazing collection.  Here are the details and images…

Etsy . AgJc Jewelry

I've always been a "more is more" type of jewelry wearer.  The bigger the better, the more intense, more more more. But recently I have become transfixed with the brand Ag.Jc on Etsy.  Their geometric, well designed pieces are seemingly simple but good design often feels that way.  They offer incredibly innovative takes on delicate, traditional jewelry styles that feel fresh and cool.  They offer their designs in several finishes and rings go up to size 16!  Here are my favorite selections from their shop!

Minimalist Circle Ring

Line Ear Jackets

Triangle Earrings

Stacking Peak Rings

Triangle Geometrics Earrings

Black Out Days

It's been 3 months since we moved and things are still to feel like home.  I've started exploring photography spots in our yard + house, so forgive me if these images seem a little off.  This dress came on Friday and I KNEW I needed to share it with the world.  I layered on many of my favorite pieces and put together this look for a friend's birthday party.

Outfit Details: 

Dress - Visible Art

Leggings - Yours Clothing

Necklace - Anutera via Sisters of the Black Moon

Rings - Bloodmilk, Red Sofa, vintage, and Torrid

Shoes - Dr Martens

Urban Mood

Etsy is a treasure trove of talented and inclusive artists.  I have purchased some amazing things from there and I'm always looking for new plus size options.  Urban Mood is one of those shops.  It goes up to size 3X BUT can also be customized at no extra charge.  Their styles focus on flowy dresses and tunics, but also include interestingly cut jackets and vest.  The prices run $50-120, which is not bad considering customization is included.  Here are my favorite styles:

Asymmetrical Hoodie $95 

Black Hoodie with Gloves $95

Loose Chiffon Tunic $79

Asymmetrical Tank Top $52

Etsy Pulls 2

Etsy Pulls

Lately, I've been scouring vintage/thrift shops with my best lady, Frankie, while she gathers goods for her Etsy shop (you can see it here...she's only got 1 left right now! Her stuff goes quick).  After a particularly submerging weekend in Palm Springs, I have the vintage bug.  I've been dreaming of confetti lucite, bakelite dominos, and drunk pink elephants. So, I have been thinking of ways to interpret this into my blog...cue the greatest vintage shop in the world: Etsy.  Here are some of my current favorite plus size clothing pieces on Etsy right now (click on the image to go to the ordering page).



Plus Size Vintage Coat 2X/3X $46
