Hey Loves,

I know the title is cheesy lol but hey it's Halloween. Honestly I did nothing this year. On Sunday I went out with my glamazon boo thang Sasha Renee to see her perform at the historical Stone Wall Inn at the Halloween Invasion hosted by the beautiful Rebecca Glasscock. But I knew from the beginning of the month that I wanted to go as a referee. It was all a matter of putting the costume together.

Hey Loves,

It is official #PSPFIT cycle 2 is underway. The 1st cardio blast video has been uploaded on CeCe's youtube channel. We had a blast shooting these videos and  I hope that you all enjoy sweating it out with us in the video. So if you're ready to sweat, check out the video below.

Hey loves,

Last week I was excited to attend the preview of Torrid's new holiday arrivals. It was hosted by the wonderful Gabi Gregg. And as usual I got to see all my blogger loves, mix & mingle, eat, drink, and try on clothes.

Hey Loves,

So I'm quite excited to let you know that I am one of the American Brand Ambassadors for the Swedish designer Gudrun Sjoden. I was given a couple gift cards to use in their flagship store located in soho. I can tell you I went absolutely nuts. I got a few pieces, that you'll see as time goes by. But the 1st peice I want to show is this super soft and luxurious oxblood cardigan. When I put this look together, I was heading to an interview. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt like I should've been walking the halls at a catholic school but something about it was just so fun.

Hey Loves,

It's clear I'm falling in love with cardigans this fall. I mead duh its fall! lol but you've all seen me wear cardigans multiple times since the weather has started to shift. And truthfully I really didn't need another one, but when I saw this cardigan in Old Navy, I thought about all the ways I would wear it.

Hey Loves,

I know you've all seen the amazing Blogger jacket collab that Mynt 1792 did with some of our favorite bloggers. A few days ago they invited a few of us bloggers to preview the jackets up close and personal. And can I tell you they are even more amazing in person!

Hey Loves,

We all know that a good bra can do WONDERS for a girl's life. It's like the second you put on a good bra, you become Naomi Campbell in like 10 seconds.

Hey Loves,

Cycle 2 of #pspfit will kick off on October 27th and will run through November 27th. Yup we're embarking on yet another health journey along with Cece of t The Big Girl Blog, and the great people at Lane Bryant. So if this is something you may be interested in, read below and be sure to register.

Hey Loves,

Now if you're like me and wear a size 11 shoes (or larger) finding cute shoes in or size can be rather difficult. But I think I have a solution for you. I was contacted by this really awesome shoe company, called Upper Street. Upper Street decided to collab with stylist Nicole Smallwood on a new ready to wear collection for women with larger feet.

Hey Loves,

Of course we all know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, some of you may or may not know  my mother is a breast cancer survivor. So when my bestie Meredith reached out to me about what her cross fit gym was doing to raise money in conjunction with Barbell for Boobs, I jumped on the chance write a post.

Barbells for Boobs, was founded in 2009 by Zionna Munoz after learning that a best friend of hers was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 26.Through her persistence, and even being referred to come back when she was 40, Zionna's friend found out that she had Stage o breast cancer. That in part is what inspired Zionna to create B4B, and she has made tremendous strides with this organization.

Hey Loves,

Happy Monday. So it took some time but I finally got it. My blog is officially a dot com. And if any of you know me or follow me on instagram, you all know I have been struggling to get my domain to work. So to FINALLY get it, I am so happy.

It's almost like a an accomplishment for me to get this done. It makes me feel more professional, and I feel like I want to take myself more seriously. I know ya'll are like "why is this even important?!" lol  But you all just don't lol I was literally ready to pull my hair out with this. I tried everything, I followed the directions, tutorials and everything. But all things happen in time.

For the future I am hoping to work on my logo and really take things to the next level.

So I am OFFICIALLY ATHICKGIRLSCLOSET.COM yay me!

Until next time loves

xoxo

Hey Loves,

I know this is super last minute, but my Jersey boo Trojah and the ladies of Elite Plus Inc. will be hold their 3rd Annual Bottles & Models event. It is the ultimate network event for aspiring models.

Bottles & Models is a social gathering filled with educational yet fun content on entering the plus model world. We bring plus industry executives and sought after curvy professionals to an audience of women eager to learn and perfect their craft. This event is special because both aspiring and "seasoned" models attend to get the one on one experience other events catering to the plus industry lack.

Hey Loves,

You all know that during the spring time I embarked on a health journey known as the #PSPfit bootcamp ran by my blogger mentor and big sister Cece Olisa of The Big Girl Blog. Well loves it's that time again, we are back for round to of bootcamp and clean eating.

Hey Loves,

It seems like every weekend is just go, go, go for me. This past Sunday I made it out to Brooklyn for the annual Atlantic Antic street festival, which happens to be one of the largest street festivals in NY. It was beautiful to get out, walk along Atlantic Ave. in Brookyln. It was a nuce day for taking in the sights, the music, the intoxicating smell of the different foods and two step to the plethora of music that was on blast from Hicks street down to the Barclay's Center.

Hey Loves,

If you read my last outfit post, you know that I recently attended a baby shower up in Norwalk, Connecticut. The parents decided to share this really awesome & amazing time with family & friends. The weather was gorgeous and the location of the shower was perfect. What better way to do brunch right?

Hey Loves,

This past Saturday me and my love went to a baby shower brunch for one of his co-workers. It was held at the Norwalk Inn up in Connecticut. It was super cute, it was held in the outdoor greenhouse, and we couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise. So for the occasion I wanted to be "festive" cause for some reason I never equate fall colors and baby showers. I always feel that spring/summer colors "go with" baby showers lol So I pulled out ole reliable...my green tunic. I wore this into the ground during the summer
