where the science and art of style collide
I just found your website – it’s heaven sent. I am 7 months postpartum and still need to lose about 20lbs. Having said that, my issue is that nothing fits me. I am such a weird shape right now. My arms are fat, I have a pooch under my belly button thanks to my 3 [...]
I recently wrote a guest post over on Already Pretty on how to dress if you’re petite and busty but want to look professional. There are lots of tips in the piece if you’re busty and not petite too! Go check it out now!
