Nashville’s Disabled Fashion Ambassador and Changemaker Extraordinaire. Executive Director of Nashville Nonprofit Fashion is for Every Body
Last month I introduced you to Llynda More Boots, the boots that accommodate my curvy calves. Today I get to share a pair of socks that fit every body. Several weeks ago I was contacted by Natasha of Dressing Room 8 and introduced to Xpandasox, who sent me a pair of Fairisle Blue socks to try.
Read MoreIt's no secret that it's close to impossible for me to find knee-high boots that fit properly. Wide feet and calves coupled with petite proportions make for hours of trying on boots with little to no success. But I have found a clever, beautiful solution to my problem.

Good thing I found this gorgeous vintage 1940's dress at Pura Vida Vintage. This dress is one of the few that fit me perfectly without having to make any alterations.

But it's equally important to be able to keep your clothes looking as good as you did when you bought them. To that end, P&G sent me some Tide Pods to try out on laundry day. Here's a video featuring my experience with the product.
Read MoreI spend a lot of my time watching models strike poses at runway shows and photo shoots. Most of them are now friends of mine, as are the designers that create the pieces that float down the runways or end up on the pages of magazines.It's hard work, and they deserve a lot of credit for what they do. But what I do when I'm out among them is just as hard, and I'd like to explain why.
