My New Fashion Challenge: Project Replace My Favorites

Did you know that I’ve been blogging off and on for over 10 years?! If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you know that I love to impose style challenges on myself. Over the past several years, I’ve done a “Shopping Custom Challenge” where I had to buy at least one custom-made item per month for 4 months, Project Remix where I focused on building a “remixable” wardrobe, my 2015 Tall Specialty Shop Challenge where I only bought items from independent tall shops for 10 months and my 2016 Thoughtful Shopping Challenge (which will continue for the […]

Jessica Rey Swimdress Review: Long Torso-Friendly Ethically Made Swimwear!

I’ve never been a huge fan of skimpy swimsuits…well at least as far as the bottoms are concerned. Even in my 20s, I gravitated more toward full coverage boy short bottoms or flirty skirt bottoms balanced out by admittedly skimpy bikini tops. In my 30s, I started experimenting with pairing my skirted bottoms with tankini tops, but I have yet to find one that I didn’t have to tug on every 5 seconds so tankinis generally annoy the heck out of me. I haven’t worn a one piece swimsuit since I was a teenager but decided to start searching online […]

Rothy’s Review – The Point Flats in Size 11.5 (One Year Later)

If you spend any time on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve likely seen ads for Rothys shoes. Or maybe you’re like me and you first got introduced to them when you noticed a friend wearing them. Either way, they have become very popular and with good reason! I bought a pair last year but have been a bit lazy about reviewing them, bad blogger that I am sometimes. Oops! Sometimes I feel like my procrastination is beneficial because I’ve now had the chance to wear these shoes a bunch and can provide oodles of details about them. Read on for my […]

Tall Mom’s Guide to Baby and Toddler Gear

Tall people often have a hard time fitting in in an average-sized world from squeezing into car or plane seats with laughable legroom to bonking our heads on all manner of things to the difficulty of finding clothing that’s long enough. Not surprisingly, it’s no different when tall people become parents! At some point during my pregnancy, I started frantically Googling things like “best stroller for tall people”, “best car seat for a tall toddler” and “best carrier for a tall baby”. Thank goodness for the interwebs and private tall FB groups where I found a wealth of info! I’m […]

Perfect for Spring! Tall Gingham Shirt from Allta

It’s been a few years since 6’0 Emma, owner of UK-based tall brand Allta, gifted me this beautiful wool blazer and I’ve been wanting more from this brand ever since! After I dipped my toe in the order-from-the-UK pool with my recent shoe order from Otto+Ivy and saw how easy it was to order from abroad, I decided to chance another UK order by buying the Aston gingham shirt from Allta. Sometimes you don’t know what’s missing from your wardrobe until you add an item and wonder where it’s been your whole life. That’s how I feel about this tall […]

Otto+Ivy Review – Tilly Boots

Back in the olden days (around 12 years ago) before I even started blogging, I discovered the fabulous and witty tall blog All the Tall Things written by 6’2 Laura Schofield. It has always been my all time fav blog! Fast forward to 2015 and I was thrilled to bits to meet up with Laura and fellow blogger Sara of Girl in the Pretty Dress for brunch in London. And then fast forward to 2020 when Laura launched her UK-based shoe brand Otto+Ivy featuring gorgeous ethically made boots, heels and flats for tall ladies. I can’t believe it took me […]

New Year New Jeans! Review of Amalli Talli Skinny Jeans

I’ve had a rather rocky relationship with jeans (especially skinnies) over the years. I remember the first time I tried on skinny jeans 15 years ago, I had to forcefully yank on the pants and put myself into all sorts of contortions in an effort to get the jeans on. Despite all of my squirming, I was only able to get the jeans on as far as my knees. Ugh! I finally gave up for fear that I might seriously injure myself whilst hobbling around the dressing room trying to yank them up. Then there were the times that I breathed a sigh of […]
