Anyone with a less-than-average body type knows the frustration of finding clothes that fit. Tailoring is always an option, but it can be pricey, inconvenient, and, maybe this is my own experience, but I find many tailors and seamstresses to be kinda mean (if you have a nice one who you love, then I’m jealous, I may have just had bad luck). I had never considered custom clothing before, I always assumed it was out of my price range. So when I was approached by eShakti.com to receive a custom piece from their website to try out for Everyday Starlet readers I was excited to try it. Well, first I was hesitant. I get approached by many companies wanting to do some kind of collaboration with my blog. I ignore a lot of them because they have no relevance to my readers or are just not the right fit (pun not originally intended, but a happy coincidence). So when I got the email from eShakti, I checked out their website and realized that I was in love with so many items! (more…)

Summer Nights Tablescape
There always seems to be a long break between holidays this time of year. After the 4th of July, there isn’t really a decorating holiday until Halloween. That leaves a few months to fill a table’s decor. I decided to decorate my table for Summer… after the Winter we had in New England, Summer deserves a little celebration. I already had a Rustic Glamour 4th of July theme going. So instead of starting from scratch, I just switched out some of the colors and went with a Summer Night Tablescape theme. Periwinkle hydrangeas ARE Summer in New England. The burlap table runner with champagne colored glitter ribbon mimics sand sparkling under the moonlight. The mason jars hold fairy lights… they make me think of catching fire flies in a jar. Stars scattered over the table remind me of Summers at Cape Cod when I was a kid. There always seemed be be more stars in the sky. I added some glitter starfish to give it a beachy feel. (more…)

Fashion or Bust: Striped Skirt
I’ve been thinking for a while about doing a series of fashion for women with a full bust. I don’t see that represented on many fashion blogs. There are blogs dedicated to plus sized ladies (and there should be, because they really do deserve to feel just as fabulous and fashionable as the size 2s). However, some of us busty ladies are not necessarily plus sized, just top heavy. Since I’ve been dealing with dressing with a full bust for… well… my whole life really… I thought I would do some fashion posts dedicated to us top heavy fashionistas. I’m thinking of calling it “Fashion or Bust.” (more…)
Summer Reading List for Bloggers & YouTubers
Summer is a time when things just seem to happen at a slower pace. Hot sun and sweat just makes you feel like relaxing with a lemonade and a good book.
