Today’s post is inspired by those of you who wear extended sizes (14 and up). I know it can be incredibly frustrating to not be able to find clothes that fit and flatter your body. I used to think that brands intentionally excluded certain sizes because they didn’t feel that a curvier woman represented their brand, but after some research I’ve found that’s not entirely the case.

Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored, but the handbags featured were gifted by Cuyana a few years ago. All opinions are my own.
Cuyana is THE place to shop for a high-quality handbag! I first got a glimpse of the brand when I spotted my friend Jenn from Hello Rigby carrying the Small Carryall Tote.
Not familiar with Cuyana? Cuyana is a female-founded brand that celebrates “fewer, better things.” This is why I’m drawn to the company. I’m constantly striving for quality over quantity when it comes to my closet and sustainability. All of their items are ethically sourced, timeless, and something you will have for years.
Founded on the philosophy of fewer, better, Cuyana encourages customers to purchase fewer but better quality pieces that they will love and treasure for years to come. source

I’m not totally over winter, but it seems like a lot of people are. So today’s post is all about warm weather and preppy spring essentials. Even my husband is jonesing for our Maui vacation that doesn’t start until the end of November. Dear sun – we miss you!
