To blog or not to blog...  To be honest, I just haven't been in the mood to blog as much lately. I guess I'm having my 1st blogger's slump. I've been blogging nonstop for over 2 years now (posting 2 maybe 3 times per week) and I think it all just caught up with me. Taking photos...editing photos...uploading photos...answering questions...reading comments...commenting on other blogs...WHEW!! It can really drain ya!  I've also been wrestling with the guilt of neglecting God and family due to the time it takes to truly be a good blogger. I don't want to become that mom/wife that spends more time blogging than with the people that mean the most to me. After all, this is only a hobby.  So, I've decided to only allow myself a certain amount of time each day to do "blog things". This could seriously become a full-time job if you let it and I already have a full-time job! lol I've also decided to make blogging less of an obligation. I don't k

 This skirt was given to me by eShakti .  eShakti is a fashion leader, showcased in Vogue, Glamour and O Magazine, where you can order as shown (as in any other store). But what is really cool is that you can go further, if you like, and tweak the style to suit you - change the neckline, sleeves or hem. And it is so easy and super-fast too! eShakti is the only fashion brand that personalizes just for you. (Wows Guaranteed!) This is the 3rd  eShakti item in my closet so I can 100% vouch for the brand. Their items are of great quality and the shipping is super fast. This fabulous skirt is now one of my faves! I just love the stripes, fabric, high waist, length, and pockets. You can purchase the skirt here . I customized the length to "mid-calf length". Be sure to check them out! With LOVE, Kiah

Hey Divas, Skorch Magazine recently released it's March issue and the cover (seen below) has been getting a lot of negativity. As a member of the Skorch blogger team I would like to say that I am very proud of this cover model concept by Captured by Chelzea . The concept was inspired by the artist Frida Kahlo who I personally LOVE! The reason I started my blog was to prove that plus size women also love fashion and can rock it just like the next girl...however...this is much easier said than done because most fashion is not made to fit us. This fact makes it very difficult for us to rock trends and high end fashion is not even an option. What this means is that we have to get very creative when we want to get "the look" of high end fashion. Getting creative is exactly what Skorch Magazine did with this "high fashion" themed issue. I can't believe that when we push the envelope with fashion we get ridiculed and put down because it's different or
