Alright, NYC. It’s been great. Until next time💕

In July, I met with a handful of my editors to talk about an idea I had. Over the past year, I saw time and time again that plus-size fashionistas were left out of fashion coverage. So this season during New York Fashion Week, I wanted to change that. Every one of my editors supported me in this, and with their guidance, I was able to write 10 features during fashion week that I’m so proud of😭 Thank you to EVERYONE who supported me in this, from my editors (who were so understanding and helpful during this process) to my friends (who calmed me through multiple panic attacks) to every one of the amazing people I interviewed (including @huntermcgrady who I interviewed three times over the course of four days, and somehow she didn’t get sick of me😂). Everything I did during fashion week was for every plus-size woman and man out there that is tried of not having a spot in fashion. I’m incredibly proud of these pieces, and I can’t wait to share what I have in store next❤️

Nothing makes me quite as happy as apple picking in my overalls🍎 Taking in every moment of fall in New York while I can!

Late to posting this, but I had the opportunity to speak to some journalism and communication students at the @collegeofstrose last week and loved getting to chat about my career thus far and how I got to where I am today💕 Even got to slip in a little rant about plus-size fashion, so the brand remains strong😂 (photos by the amazing @baileycummings99)

Now that I’m ~mostly~ recovered from fashion week, it’s time to share some news: I’m heading west! In November, I’m moving out to Arizona to focus on the next stage of my life and career (including a book maybe😉😉). I’m excited for this next chapter to begin, though leaving New York is so difficult. I’ll be back a few times every year for work/fashion week obviously, but NYC friends: DM me so we can find a time to say goodbye before I leave! Until then, prepare for a lot of sappy posts😭😭

Still can’t get over how gorgeous the @diaandco booth was at @thecurvycon! I’m so glad I got to work with the Dia & Co team on a piece about what it’s like to sit front row at fashion week when you’re fat (swipe right once to see). I also got to cover CurvyCon for @fashionista_com (swipe right twice to see!)🙌🏻 For those who went, what was YOUR favorite part of CurvyCon? What do you want to see at CurvyCon NEXT YEAR?

Can’t thank you all enough for all the kind comments and messages about my NYLON piece. I still can’t believe that it’s finally published. Some of you know how much I’ve been working and stressing about it. While I love covering fat fashion, I always get nervous because of the responsibility that comes with it. I’m so proud of how this piece came out, though, and am glad so many of you enjoyed it as well! Oh, and if you liked that, get ready...🚨I’ve got SEVEN (7!) more plus-size fashion week pieces coming out this week!🚨

After a month of hard work, hundreds of emails, too many hours of transcribing and 26 emotional interviews, I am ecstatic to share FASHION’S FAT REBELS, a project I’ve been tirelessly working on for NYLON. Being a proud fat person in fashion is more than courageous: It’s an act of rebellion. This fashion week, I wanted to shine a light on some of the fat trailblazers in fashion who are making waves of change. I am immensely proud of how this came out and can’t wait for you all to read it💕 LINK IN BIO! I hope above all that what you take away from this piece is that the future of fashion is indeed FAT with a capital F. Here are 26 of the most inspiring fat people I know talking about why🙌🏻
