Last weekend, I was thrilled to attend my very first Create & Cultivate conference! Have you heard of it? It’s a one-day networking conference for female creatives and entrepreneurs that pops up in a few cities across the country – and last weekend, it was in Chicago! This incredible event draws hundreds of amazing #girlbosses together to learn, interact and get inspired to both create AND cultivate the career/company/life of their dreams. JCPenney was a presenting sponsor of Create & Cultivate Chicago and I was honored that they invited me to join them for the day!
All the active large chested-ladies will rejoice when they try this adjustable plus size sports bra from Glamorise Sport! I have always had trouble finding supportive sports bras for my large chest – particularly one that can hold up under high-impact activities like running. If you know me or follow along on my adventures, you know that I’m a runner and avid hiker, and I like some yoga and HIIT from time to time (See my last post about the BodyBoss HIIT Workout). But my bust has changed size over the years and my old sports bras are worn out – so it was definitely time for a change! I have tried a Glamorise Sports Bra before, so when they approached me about reviewing the new style, I was thrilled!
Please note: This bra was sent to me courtesy of Glamorise for an honest review, and this post is sponsored. All opinions are my own.
Summer is really starting to heat up, and that means weddings and formal events might be popping up in your calendar! It can be challenging to find plus size formal gowns that fit well and look amazing, but I found a great selection at Macy’s! If you’re a wedding guest this summer and are not sure what to wear where, I’m here to help!

I have a confession: I’m a shopaholic. You might not be too surprised by that since I am a fashion blogger, lol. But my shopping habit means that I am also a return-aholic by default. On any given day, I have at least 3 or more items/bags that need to be returned. I can’t tell you how many times bags and boxes of returns have accumulated in my living room and I’ll miss the return window because I’m too busy (or too lazy) to take them back or mail them! Well, I’ve found a solution that has changed the game totally! It’s called ReturnRunners, and it is a dream come true.
*ReturnRunners provided me a complimentary return service for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
What is Chicago style known for? For this special collaboration, Gwynnie Bee asked me to describe the fashion scene in Chicago and choose 3 outfits to bring it to life! As y’all know – I’m from Alabama, but Chicago is my adopted city. I’ve lived here for over a decade and in that time, I’ve come to love Chicago’s bold, colorful and practical style. See what outfits from my Gwynnie Bee Closet I chose to represent my city’s fashion sense! AND BONUS INFO ABOUT GWYNNIE BEE’S SUMMER ROAD TRIP CONTEST!
