Forty Fat and Fabulous

In February of 2019, Target announced that they would partner with lifestyle brand, Vineyard Vines, for a limited summer collaboration. This was super exciting to me! I have always loved the simple, preppy aesthetic of Vineyard Vines. Partnering with Target would make their clothes significantly more affordable. In addition to that, they would be offering clothes in Plus Sizes! While Vineyard Vines currently offers Big and Tall Men's, they have nothing available for Plus Size Women. This collaboration would give big girls like me a chance to try the brand for ourselves.

We love Richard Blais and any chance to try something he created in our own city is amazing... plus, tiki drinks!

There is just something so romantic about the time when ladies got dolled up to do even the most mundane activities. Dressing up just makes me feel… Continue reading The Disney Dress Shop

The First Nineteen Years…

May 7, 2019June 4, 2019 Jennifer Nafziger

I have known what I wanted to be when I grow up since I was in elementary school. While many people cycle through majors, jump between jobs, and take years to figure things out, my path has stayed solid in my mind. Sure, I said I wanted to be a singer, or a movie star, or the things every kid wants to be... but more than anything, I have always known I wanted to be a music educator.
